I have the same problem. I have Elsa and Penelope, which I have not touched for a year

Thought Jolie Poupee would be lovely lilac/lavender purple, but it goes blue on my eyes! I will have to try it with nice base. Perhaps we should make it a NARS day tomorrow, so we won't forget to use them!

Anyway, what a pity as Rated R always catch my eyes - the green looks amazing!

Oh I've heard that too, the bad thing is my veins are too deep to see haha. I think I have greenish veins but I'm not sure. I'm asian so I guess the lady just assume that I'm a cool tone

ok girlies....

I have been MIA since friday as I've been busy!

My makeup for the xmas party yesterday was the same as friday except I added some Golddrift glitter on top of your ladyship pigment, and only wore Rapturous mattene on my lips with no gloss (so it wouldnt rub off

)

Today I didnt wear any makeup

as I was sleeping most of the day to recover (probably due to large amounts of alcohol and the 4am finish)... Should be back to my normal self ready for tomorrow though

I have been using #263 and I don't know if my lining skill is crappy or I need another brush that gives a better control.

MrsMay, would you remember roughly how much BB brush was?

Im sorry, I dont actually remember... I bought it about 7 years ago, but I am due for another one shortly! I have a vague idea that it may have been around $35 or $40?

 

[sambibabe]

Yeah, I have 266

I only like using the angled brush on my brows lol.

Thanks MrsMay! Damn.. It is so hard to make comparison by looking at the pictures!
