To make things easy we can just ignore what little MAC I have, so if you were starting from zero what would you get?


yes i would get some basics like some brushes, fix+, staple shadows like carbon, all that glitters, woodwinked, shroom, some palettes if you want to depot or buy shadows in pan form. and i also suggest checking out sephoras own line of cosmetics - they have some lovely liners!

I am looking at brushes right now.
I think I want:
239
219
222
182

What would be a good versatile cheek product brush?


129 and 109 are awesome cheek brushes. and you must get the 182 kabuki! it's my fave brush in the world!!!

i think that your list of shadows is great - although you may want to concider dazzlelight... perhaps in place of shroom. i love both shadows but dazzlelight is slightly more natural looking... shroom is more 'sheeny' if you knwo what i mean
smiles.gif
oh and perhaps i am weird but i always prefer black tied to carbon... perhaps i am the only one!

i have tried lush shower jellies however i find them a little frustrating! i always seem to drop more than what i actually use properly! but again, perhaps this is just me! oh not sure if i have mentioned but at the moment i have started using lush bath bombs as drawer scenters! much nicer and more powerful smelling than pot pouri!

i personally dislike the shower jellies, they are just difficult to use, you have to crush and rub the jelly over yuor body in the shower, usually mine just ends up down the drain. they say u can freeze them, which might be easier but that would be mighty cold!

i totally didnt read your post before i posted, but i agree with you completely on the shower jellies!

I haven't tried the shower jellies because I had a feeling that they might be a hassle to use, and you are just confirming this suspicion.

I've been using my new "New"
lol.gif
shampoo bar for a while now, and I like it. It smells sort of minty and cinnamony, like a cinnamon flavored breath mint. I don't like to eat those, but I do like the smell in a shampoo.

I too, have a Word document on the makeup items I want for the upcoming collections.
tong.gif


I just started this document this year, but for two years I have been printing out collections descriptions and ticking everything I want on the printouts. It's just that now I consolidate everything in a list as well, and when I buy the items, I will tick beside them and feel contented.

Shockingly, I only have Expensive Pink from the list, and that is in the Neo Sci Fi packaging. MAC's perm line is pretty much ignored by me, so I need to examine it soon! The perm items I have are Buerre l/l, Prrr, Enchantress and Bombshell.

I wish we have Lush, Philosophy, NARS and Tweezerman here. I know we used to have Lush and NARS many years ago.

My plan is to get this base of more neutral and basic colors from the perm line and then collect fun colors from LE collections.

Next up: Dames Desire, Birds & Berries and Bough Grey (ok, maybe not a "fun color").

We used to have NARS too, and Stila. But that was maybe 5 years ago or more.

Oh, and the only domestic web store selling Urban Decay recently went bankrupt. You'd think that the market would evolve and the number of brands offered would increase, not decrease.

Makeup wise it's like living in a third world country.

I checked my stash and I have more perm items.

Beautiful Iris, Blacktrack, Bare Study, Fun Fun. I have some MAC brushes too. And talking about Beautiful Iris, I really like it. It is so smooth and gorgeous. If you like purple you should take a look.

We have UD because Sephora, opened in December 08, just brought it in. Sephora brought in many makeup brands for us, like Hourglass, Bare Minerals, and I'm glad we have Sephora. I think maybe there are just too many makeup brands and the competition is tough. We have many Asian brands too, which are very popular. YSL pulled out last year too, but we still can get it from the Duty Free Shop. Overall, my country has a bit of everything, Asian, European and US brands.

beautiful iris is a beautiful shadow!
smiles.gif
i love using it with parfait amour in the crease and also trax shadow
smiles.gif
not many people like trax though - no idea why! i think it's great!

i'm looking forward to saturday! i'm going on a night out with a friend
smiles.gif
i've not been out since november last year! plus we're making our own tops tommorow night too! well not the entire top - we're buying a plain vest top and then decorating it with bows and some crystals. much cheaper than buying a premade one for £18!! she is much better at doing that kind of thing than me, so as thanks i shall be doing her make up before we go out! exciting!!
