Ive had some of my foundations for 5 years :S They havent changed colour or smell and they apply just as well as the first time I used them... I just make sure I dont contaminate them with bacteria, keep them sealed tight and in a cool dark place and they are fine...

Hey there! Not many of us where I am in Brisbane, grew up in Sydney though and that was a different story!
My foundations right now are Napoleon Look 2 and Masquerade Light Olive and Fair Olive. Have some MUFE samples I recieved today still to try out but always on the lookout for new foundations!

Powder products keep forever bc bacteria can't grow without water.. even if the top layer goes funny you can scrape it off and the rest should be ok.
The only thing that irks me is liquids that you dip in to or put an applicator into like lipglosses I try hard not contaminate but it's hard if you're out and need to reapply! I swipe it on my hand and use my finger to apply then wipe off the wand on a serviette or something.
There was an interesting thread in the product safety section where a girl who was a chemist tested her MAC collection, everything was fine except her lipglasses where she found a whole array of organisms including salmonella! LOL ewww!

woops- she never updated with what the bacteria actually was..

I hate admitting this to people (especially on here

Shu Uemura is a great one. I've never tried Shiseido, but Panda here said it is great as well. I also love Koh Gen Do, but they do not have a store down here.. I also love Giorgio Armani and they give out generous size samples hehe.

Yay! Another Quad 3 fan!! Isn't it just beautiful? I used it with fresco rose now and then if I want the colours to pop more, it's very nice with it! But I like it w/o pp for everyday look.
You have to do a FOTD with the quad! You'll look sooooooo pbeautiful!

i love finding people that are just as crazy when it comes to makeup....
Oh my god... A story for everyone, which will make you all cringe... but it has a happy ending...
So I got the MA I know in HKG to put 2 ripe peach b/o aside for me for my mum to pick up last night before she flew here. She couldn't make it there, so I emailed my dad this morning and asked him if he could go and get them.. he is such a good daddy.. he went and got them for me!!! hahahaha!!
BUT..... THEN HE LEFT THEM ON THE BUS WHEN HE WENT HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank god, a nice gentleman chased him off the bus and brought him the bag with my two precious ripe peach blushes in it! I almost cried when he told me lol
