[IslandLover]

Heyy Ladies!

Wow, I was gone for one day and there were like a million posts! Awesome recs btw. I'm going to go broke because of you all!

Zerin - LOVED the look you just did on YT with Satin Toupe & Sketch. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Ziya/Highonmac - I'm totally with you...I CANNOT pull off red or fuschia lips...

Animacani - Show us a pic of you wearing chatterbox! I wanna see!

Zerin - I spent ALL my money this weekend because of you. I got Grand Duo & Hot Planet from MAC. Got Nars Torrid blush finally (WHICH I LOVE) as well as Cargo Rome (WHICH I ALSO LOVE). Now I have to buy this Rose Romance quad to get Solar White....you're killin me

Ziya - FOTD!! Just do it

 

[nunu]

Brilliant haul IslandLover, now i need to go and get me those items!!

And i agree with you, the tut zerin posted yday was amazing..i don't use my satin taupe as often as i should!

 

[IslandLover]

Thanks Nunu! I know..I'm going to start using my satin taupe much more often now...

 

[Ziya]

haha the ton of posts was my fault...I spent practically the whole day on here yesterday

I will try guys!! Feeling shy lol
I am so excited to go hauling this week...I'm getting Cargo Rome, Nars Torrid, MUFE full coverage.MAC's transparent powder and trying a whole bunch of l/s
shoot I should make a list I always forget the second I walk into a store teehhehe

 

[nunu]

Girls, you are making me want to check out Cargo's blushes!!
I want stuff from MAC, NARS and now Cargo...My wallet can't take it lol

 

[animacani]

aw , too bad we dont have cargo or nars here in Norway =(

 

[zerin]

Islandlover - Thnx! OMG! Awww...I drained your wallet...lol but AWESOME HAUL! I'm glad you got those blushes. ENJOY! These will last you forever. lol I don't know if I will ever hit pan with any of these blushes. Only one was Mac's Other Worldly blush.
Solar White eyeshadow is amazing...you should definitely get the quad.

Thanks Nunu. Satin Taupe is a gorgeous eyeshadow! =) You should try to get Rome somehow...lol it's amazing. Very unique!

Ziya - Nice haul list! =)
Now...about the MUFE full coverage concealer. I know it's very pricey. You should get samples before you buy this item. For me....#12 was too dark and #10 was too light... I had to mix them to make it match. I think it's just too much to pay for both. I actually ended up returning #12 since I got both and I kept #10 and now I mix it with my Mac select coverup in NW 35. It works for me that way. I love MUFE full coverage's formula....it's super pigmented and works great as a concealer. I just wished they had more shades to match me exactly.

What lipsticks are you checking out?

oh yeh! I can't wait for a FOTD from you! BE BRAVE! lol I posted mines back in 2006 first time here.

Mines wasn't so great though...lol I was a total NOOB.

Animacani - Awww....That sux. =( You should go on vacation where they have Nars and Cargo items...lol

All I wanted was a powder to set my foundation with And then a couple months later, just like my select sheer, it shattered in my bag...I refuse to use it lol its going B2M! Also, the MA matched me with Dark...and it made my face look dirty then and even moreso now that my tan has faded..

Ziya baby! Sadly, I came to the realiztion that MAC face products and my don't go well together. Just like you, I break out from MSFs, although I still soemtimes use Warm MSF once in a while. But, I def can't use the Natural MSF and Blot Powders etc. Sux.

Hayyy Baybeh! I went through a little obsession where I was trying my hardest to conceal the most undetectable (unless I pointed it out) hyperpigmentation on my face. I was in TEARS coz the girls at the MAC counter kept insisting there was nothing to conceal and making me feel bad. I was like, I don't care just humour me goddamnit!! so I ended up at the MUFE counter and the lady tried to sell me the #12. I cried even harder. LMAO it made that area EVEN DARKER looool.
I think I was just pmsing and tired that day. So she gave me a sample of 10 and I think it matches quite nice. I do have coverup in nw 35 so I will use your idea to mix if I do buy it! Thank you for that tip

I wana try HD foundation I just hope it doesnt brea me out.
I have a huge project due tmw and a paper on thursday so I will treat myself this week!!
I gotta figure out my sisters camera so I can post..
Lately, I've been having problems with my e/s fading and creasing! Never been like this b4..I think ever since I got this oil based mu remover, my eyes have been getting really oily to compensate I guess...
sigh..Any eye mu remover reccs ladies?
we dont get UDPP here so I use TFSI and/or paint pots....

 

[shaista1985]

i went to buy the new viva glam lipstick today, but the uk is soo crap man, its still not released here!!! bohoo

also, i was at nars, have u girls tried ALBATROSS... a gud buy u think?

 

[Ziya]

Hey! OMG me too! Dirrteh Plum, is the sweetest thing, she said it will work super well on desi skin so I am uber excited me wants all the vg lipsticks and glasses...so far I have three lippies...lol
I want to check out the Orgasm/Albatross duos at nars! I heard its absolutely gorgeus..even on WOC...god SO MUCH I need to try out..Again with the lists teehehehe!

 

[LILYisatig3r]

Hi!

I'm of Thai and Laotian descent so I've got the whole yellow under tones going on. Unfortunately I seem to have not gotten lucky and I have a relatively light skin tone, I'm an NC20 hahhaa.

I only use bronzer to highlight my cheekbones to tell you the truth. Like contouring? I find if I use bronzer on my whole face, since I'm so light, it kind of looks like I have excessive makeup on my face :<

I've noticed that brown, smoky black, gold, pink, and purple look good on me. Blue is also nice but it has to have a bit of a darker tone like black with it, other wise it looks odd. Green is only good with other matching tones, otherwise it fades easily and you can't tell too much.

The only time liner looks good on the bottom for me, is if I add some dark shadow on the bottom lid as well. Otherwise it looks too sharp and makes my eyes look smaller. When I add the smoky look it really opens my eyes up and it doesn't make me look so much like a gothic chick hahah.

 

[MadMunky]

Ah, all this talk makes me want to go out and buy something...anything!

Any suggestions for a lip colour? I usually stay safe and go with nudes ('Hug Me') or near-nudes but I think it's time to step it up a little

I'd prefer something warm toned and wearable to work...

xx

 

[zerin]

Ziya - Awww....hope the concealer dilemma works out for you. I find UDPP works much better than TFSI when it comes to oily eyelids. That's just what I experienced and UDPP packaging sux since you'd have to cut it open and find a GOOD air sealed container to put it in or else it dries up. =( Try to put more TFSI on your lid than your usual amount.

I just use Mac and drugstore wipes when it comes to makeup removers. I use Garnier, Neutrogena and the list goes on really. I just buy whatever is on sale lol since it finishes up quickly anyways. I think Neutrogena and Mac (too expensive) are my favourite.

shaista1985 - Nars Albatross and Mac's Vanilla pigment are VERY ALIKE! Almost the same I would say. lol It is pretty but if you're a Nars collector than it's good to have....but I wouldnt call it my favourite. Also, you can't put too much of these on your cheeks either because then you'll see some white powder showing up. (This is if your skintone is similar to mines) I say experiment with Mac's Vanilla pigment first to see if you like it and then buy Albatross. I prefer MSFs like Refined from Sugarsweet and all the other gold/peachy toned msfs.

LILYsatig3r - Welcome! I guess you should use a light hand and not such a dense brush when you're applying bronzer.

Madmunky - You should definitely check out the new VivaGlam VI lipstick.

It's gorgeous! You can wear it to any occasion.

Hi, ladies, just to say I'm enjoying this thread. I'm Indian Bengali, NC30 and have pigmented lips. My mother always loved makeup but never really learnt how to wear it much, and I love telling her stuff now. She still looks great.
Any lip or nail shades anyone has liked recently?

 

[nunu]

Welcome

, i am glad that you are enjoying this thread.
