I'm hearing good things about DiorShow Extase for plumping, so I think I might give that a shot. Go, go $15 off Sephora coupon!

I hated zoom lash so bad i returned it and i use exclusivly mac or nars stuff. Bobby brown mascara... jesus, if that stuff wasn't $27 or something. Drug store mascara I would score a 7.5 out of 10 and for 1/3 or so of the price im happy with it

^^yes.

seriously dior rocks my world with mascara


^yeah with macs stuff you need a separate brush to rid the clumps and add definition, but when you do that it's awesome. i have several of those too.

youd be amazed how well that works too.
even with the mascara you aredy think is perfect

As far as makeup goes, for the most part I use Neutrogena mineral sheers and powder foundation. I also use the concealer by them.

But for my lashes, I use Lorac Visual Effects. I love it!! I like that I can clean the plastic brush and therefore get more use of one tube. I have long eyelashes that do not curl so this is my favorite product bc it makes my eyes look even bigger!! I just wish they had black brown. I use the black.

I don't wear a lot of makeup. I am not into it that much. I wish I liked it bc it looks like it could be fun. I just don't like the up keep of the constant reapply and how it feels on my face and around my eyes. A full make-over does not happen a lot with me.

12/14/2009 2:00:53 PM

Mascara and blush are definitely the two things I have to have... I just love them

12/14/2009 2:00:59 PM

thanks to my aunt, I own a lot of really nice makeup

but the only thing I wear is mascara... if I want to dress up, then I wear blush

very rarely will I actually use anything else, but when I do - I have a mega arsenal to choose from

You should see how many I have at home. Since being laid off, I figured I should try the drug store route and I can't wait to get a job so my eyelashes can come back to life lol.

I have enjoyed that Maybeline Lash Stiletto though! I tried the Covergirl Collosal for lengthening this weekend and I hate it. It smells funny and it's a very dry formula.

I'm a sucker for Chanel's Inimitable

i like the colossal. it does smell like roses or chocolatey though. the dry formulas dont clump as bad, ive found.

12/14/2009 2:49:45 PM

Does anyone else detest wearing makeup? Perhaps I am just lazy.

12/14/2009 2:51:58 PM

^^ I thought I was the only one who noticed that. I asked my friend who recommended it to me and she said she'd never really noticed a smell. Drives me nuts.

[Edited on December 14, 2009 at 2:52 PM. Reason : .]

12/14/2009 2:52:06 PM

i only wear makeup at night

12/14/2009 2:52:55 PM

eh, i decided i like the smell

12/14/2009 2:52:58 PM

my blush is rose scented and i love it

12/14/2009 2:54:26 PM

I don't think Colossal smells like chocolate or roses. But it is RIDICULOUSLY difficult to remove.

12/14/2009 2:54:33 PM

It doesn't smell like roses at all. I was gagging this morning when I was putting it on. I'm mad I spent money on it. I only bought it because they didn't have the "Blackest Black" for the Stiletto.

12/14/2009 2:58:13 PM

I don't think it smells like those either. It's kind of a plasticky gross smell. I like the mascara though.

12/14/2009 2:59:29 PM

diva, ill trade you collasal for stiletto. I just bought it a few days ago, only used it once and i dont like it

12/14/2009 3:00:49 PM

DONE!

I'm serious...I've only used this collosal twice! Saturday night and today.

12/14/2009 3:01:26 PM

PERFECT

when and where do ya want to trade

12/14/2009 3:02:57 PM

I hope that during this trade there will be a little bit of alcohol involved.

You tell me homie.

12/14/2009 3:05:29 PM

^I want some more so bad It was my favorite. I want to try the Dior. I know it's basically a better version of Bad Gal Lash.

12/14/2009 3:22:21 PM

Yea I'm not far from yous

My eyelashes are getting rather excited.

12/14/2009 3:23:41 PM

mine too. I was bumbed when i bought it and it didn't work out

12/14/2009 3:26:16 PM

I have long eye lashes but this doesn't make them seem long until I get like a profile view. I could see my lashes were long using the stiletto when I looked head-on (APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD)

12/14/2009 3:30:51 PM

ive heard that maybelline's full n soft (an oldie but goodie) is very similar formula wise to dior show


ive used the maybelline.....pretty good results not much clumping


as far as blush, i have nars orgasm....its not bad, but i also use benefits posey tint, my go-to blush is one of tart's cheek stains.

i use brown eyeshadow and it's always has to be waterproof and always with a curved brush. i'm not really particular about brands though

12/14/2009 6:31:43 PM

so this is going to come out very immature.....


BRAINYSMURF IS A GIRL????!!!!!1 Awesome! Just never knew.

12/14/2009 6:43:24 PM

I use this:


followed by this:

(Mac Mascara X)

= incredible combination. Goes on so smoothly and flawlessly, has a great scent, and looks very natural.

[Edited on December 14, 2009 at 6:54 PM. Reason : Forgot to give name of mascara]

12/14/2009 6:53:55 PM

i used to use great lash but now i use cover girl lash blast



works well for me. i also use cover girl blush. almay foundation/concealer and eye shadow.

i used to buy mac but it was just toooo pricey for me. though i love their eye shadows. and urban decay eye shadows too.

12/14/2009 7:03:22 PM

Speaking of Urban Decay eyeshadows, I'm glad you recommend them because I just ordered a set from Sephora. Like tartsquid I had the $15 off coupon so I ordered these things this morning:

Urban Decay Get Baked Eye Kit:
This is a good deal now because it's on sale for $18.

Sephora by OPI nail colours:
Metro Chic (greyish, purplish)
along with this shade called It's Somewhere in My Purse (berry milk chocolate)

After the coupon all of this ends up being 20 bucks plus tax. Next time I get a coupon I'll pass it on to one of you ladies because I need to go on a makeup ban.

12/14/2009 7:17:09 PM

Has anyone actually used homemade laundry detergent in their front loader?

I used to be a Maybelline girl (clear) until I came home from work one day with allergies and woke up from my Benadryl nap with a stye. ;_; Now I use Bare Escentuals flawless definition:



I used to not wear makeup at work but people were so much nicer to me when I looked more polished. (Or a horrible coincidence. The makeup stays.)

12/14/2009 9:33:20 PM

i use this stuff but I do get 20% off from them


then..

MAC Plush Lash is my current mascara of choice!!

12/15/2009 12:02:52 AM

Hmmmm I like the brush on that MAC plump lash. I'm huge on the brushes. Usually I don't like those new silicone brushes, but it works with the Chanel. I hate it with that Lash Blast shit I bought.

On another note...I like my bolero, but I now want something more edgy to wear with the dress..Like a cropped black tuxedo jacket. DAMNIT

JOIE...I was looking at this blog and saw your name under the pic of outfits and was like OMG JOIE WRITES FOR THIS? But then I realized your name is also a clothing line http://ow.ly/Moqi

isnt there a new mascara that has a spikey ball for a brush? i think i need that because the lashes in the corners of my eyes are so fine, im always trying to use the tip of a brush that isnt there

12/15/2009 2:01:19 PM

givenchy phenomen'eye is the first one with the ball shaped applicator


New L’Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara is the drug store version

Light foundation / tinted moisturizer recommendations? I don't get acne anymore and I don't need a lot of coverage - I just want something to even things out without looking thick or cakey. I don't really like powder/mineral foundations, I used to use them and I feel like they're chalky.

Does anyone have a brand they like? Preferably something that comes in an almost white pale shade. Most drugstore brands' lightest shades are a little too dark for me, my MAC color is NC15 and even that's sliiiiightly too dark.

12/15/2009 4:12:40 PM

clinique almost makeup


mary kay also has a tinted moisturizer

you could just dilute your fav regular foundation with your usual moisturizer

12/15/2009 4:23:34 PM

i'm browsing earrings again tonight because i love cheap danglies. feel free to give me your opinion on the following:

12/15/2009 7:27:30 PM

I want the second ones!

What I posted a while ago, Everyday Minerals. Did you give them a shot? It's $3.95 for a sampler package, and they're pretty damn good - I finally exhausted mine and am going to order more after xmas

I know it's powder, but I think this might work for you.

12/15/2009 8:19:42 PM

Yep, it's what I'm using right now actually. It's okay, I just want to try something different.

12/15/2009 8:21:47 PM

twoozles where are you shopping? i like that first pair!!


amazon has some pretty danglies for like $25-$35, i fell in love with a few but just added them to my wish list instead of buying them

12/15/2009 8:51:30 PM

they are on clearance on overstock. i don't want to spend more than 20

12/15/2009 8:52:51 PM
