That is terrible!! I hate theives!!

I'd file a complaint with UPS if I were you.

UPS sucks though. BeforeI started school I knew to be home when it was

because I just couldn't risk the chance of someone walking past my house and stealing my stuff. The last time I ordered from MAC, I left a big ass note on the door for UPS to RING THE DOORBELL when they delivered my beloved package, and they STILL left it on the porch without ringing the bell.

But to answer you question about the VAE....YES IT'S WORTH IT!!!!

GIIIIIIRRRRRL!!! I seriously LOVE this stuff!!!! I used it last night before I went to bed and this morning my face was baby smooth and my minor breakouts were dramatically reduced and damn near gone. This is a holy grail exfoliator for me!!! I am getting a b/u for sure!!!!!!!

There kind of like dazzleglasses in eye shadow form is the best way I can think of describing them.

Thank you! You've helped me make my decision LOL I know exactly what you mean by your description thats why I want Young Punk (looooooove)

Wow, I really can't keep up with this thread LOL!

What is everyone wearing under the MES's? And what brush are you guys using with these? I wore smashbox shadow primer and NYX Black Bean Jumbo pencil under Young Punk today and it looked pretty good but I had a little fall out using the 242 brush. I think maybe the 239 next time? Any advice on how to avoid a glittery mess for the MES-challenged LOL?

Can somebody please post a ingredients list or a picture of it of VAE?

That is horrible! I am so sorry to hear that!

My delivery's get left at the door too if I don't answer in time! It's ridiculous. I would definitely try to get this problem rectified. It's better than giving up 'cause you never know!!

Can't wait to try it......it looks great on you!

And........it gives me a reason to need a 214.

Hold it guys! Like 50 pages back everyone had decided that the skincare wasn't worth it. What is this mess?! Do I have to get the Mask now?

I saw that someone said that it was good for shrinking pores. If you had to recommend either the exfoliator or the mask, which do you think would be better? (if you really think both then just say it) I have skin with an uneven texture, still get pimples and have a hard time with blackheads, my skin is combination dry/oily and my pores are medium in size.

well, seeing as i already answered this question, i will repeat myself, yet again.

first off, you can not change the size of your pores. you can only make them appear smaller. nothing will shrink them.

the exfoliator will remove dead, dry skin and make skin smoother. this makes it easier to remove blackheads, but will not actually remove the blackheads.

the mask will warm up the skin, which will help open up your pores and remove the blackheads.

both will help control oil.

so, since you have issues with both dryness, oiliness, texture and blackheads, i would recommend both.

does that answer your question?

You are all sorts of wrong.

Plus, I would have to pass too many casinos, so the money would be spent.

Thank you Erine

. Despite having read all 144 pages of this thread, I had forgotten that you had said this, though on repeating it I do remember now. Sorry for asking a question already answered, I had hoped to never do that to you *sigh*.

Now I have to see if I can squeeze these onto my list, particularly seeing as everything is a little more pricey here in Oz.

Thank you again and I promise to not ask a repeated question again.

That eye is to die for!

Cannot wait until I can get my Style Black!

 

[SerenityRaine]

Arg! I was goin to pick up some tonight but the counter I went to there was only one person working & it was swamped. Oh well.

My list as of yet:
Blue Flame
Black CCB
debating between Cinderfella or Gilt by Association

not a problem. everyone gets one free pass!

here's the whole eye for ya'll. its my version of misscheivous's version of risa's version. we had our night of beauty event, and i wore the smoky eye to work, then had to throw something on in five minutes (on my self and everyone else! we all used the different colours).

i used the GPS as my base with cinderfella wet packed on top and smudged wet as my bottom liner. the feathers were done with blacktrack and the wet MES.
