How's the freelancing going?

I haven't done much freelancing at the mo because I haven't got my business cards printed. I'm finishing the design tonight and with any luck will have them printed up either this week or next. Once I've got those I'll really start to put myself out there, it's a bit diffucult without them and look a wee bit unprofessional so hopefully that'll help. It's taking time getting the business up and doesn't help that my car keeps breaking down, it's cost me $2000 in the last 6 weeks!

They weren't that long but they did sometimes get in the way while doing makeup and I just felt it was more hygenic but now, I miss them!!!

I haven't tried any Shu Uemura products before, where do you get it from and what's the pricing like?

$2000? ouch. That's a bugger. Business card designing sounds fun tho!

I am sorry to hear about your car Robyn! You could always order business cards from Vista.com (I think) and all you pay is the shipping. Hubby did that and he still orders from there.

Shu is at David Jones, only at Burke St, Bondi Junction and Elizabeth St, unfortunately. I read so many reviews about the foundation that it gives a excellent natural coverage, and just had to try it. At first, I was disappointed, because it didn't seem like it was doing anything. Lucky I read a bit about how it gradually adjust your skin. I finished my brows and wowza! I look like I am not wearing any foundation, but my face looks flawless!

 

[rockin26]

Thanks Nat! I looked at that website and it's pretty great! I've already made my design and tonight my bro in law and I are going to format it for the printers (who's a friend of mine). But I'll keep that site in my favorites, very handy.

I'll try and do a swatch tonight with just the d/g on it's own. I've never worn it on it's own as I prefer a lippy base.

The best way I can describe it is comparing to Love Alert d/g.

Rue de Rouge is perfect with mid-tone, orange-based or true red lippies (Russian Red, Port Red, etc).
Whereas I like to use Love Alert for blue-based reds (Red She Said, Ruby Woo, etc).

So I guess you could say that Rue de Rouge is more 'true red' in comparison to Love Alert (which has more of a blue-ish tinge to it).

Also, can I just say that Port Red l/s is freaking awesome!!! It was the first time I used it and I would recommend everyone to grab it if they see it in the Clearance Bin.

Great colour pay-off and perfect for those who find mattes a little 'heavy', as this is a frost!
