I feel pretty--NOT! THE COSMETICS THREAD

Yeah, that sounds right. I just looked it up and that mess is expensive! Even for me, and I am kind of ridiculous in my willingness to spend bank on cosmetics!

Just had to stop myself from getting off train a few stops early to go to sephora bc the moisturizer I want is so $$$ I'm not quite ready to let myself buy it yet :(

Which one is it?

i know there are many more expensive moisturizers in the world (hi dere, murad) but for something that's kind of a primer i'd only use in am, it seems pricey. that said, i had some sample tubes of it a while back and it's so nice for summer when you feel greasy. matte finish moisture but you don't feel too dry. ps the smell is delightful!

the problem is that i also need to get this, which is an amazingly gentile exfoliator, but the two of them add up to like $80.

still lol'ling at the idea of us all meeting ENBB dressed in drag makeup

drag FAP.

I had a straight guy compliment me on my eyeliner today. I don't think that has ever happened before!

Has anybody ever tried The Present from Philosphy? http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P75338&categoryId=B70

I am chuckling at T's "gentile exfoliator"--poor Jews have to find their own exfoliator.

I think it scrubs away the gentile residue, q. Once you try it and see how frum you feel, you'll never leave for the mikvah without it!

jews use dead sea salt iirc

Lololol q!

hahaha

drag FAP.

amazing

a drag fap would be really fun

let's do it.

I think I have realized it is impossible to wear eyeliner in the humid summer.

an important realization every woman must go thru. the worst is that there are actually women who can wear it and not suffer a smudge.

ugh hate them so much

i never use eyeliner, just some brown shadow blended into my lash line with an angled brush.

mine doesnt smudge unless i smudge it with my hand. i think this is cause i dont put it inside my lash line

I am wearing no liner today. Feel kind of naked!

I've been meaning to get back into wearing eyeliner. White is the only color that doesn't make my eyes look smaller. I'd like to try powder eyeliner (partially because it would be easier to apply at stoplights in the car, which is where I put my makeup on). Any tips?

i love white liner but i've abandoned brown for 2 long. brown liner brings out my eyes like nothing else.

tza i hear you, i sometimes feel incomplete without eyeliner

all ive been wearing lately is that smashbox green primer. i did get cg line exact liquid eyeliner which pretty much rules.

really! hmm. liquid liner is usually so hard to put on for me.

surm this is like a marker. so easy peasey. and cheap!

omg

i really like the way white eyeliner looks, but every time ive ever worn it a man asks me if i "have something on my eye"

has anyone tried the tarte lip stain?

So, I did end up trying out white powder eyeliner, and I love it. (I'm using some cheap white eyeshadow and an angle brush, but I intend to start using the proper white matte stuff when I can.) I also changed my mascara to some super dramatic ultra dark black Maybelline stuff and kept the (forgot the manufacturer) Subtle Sheers shadow and (someone else's) eye makeup base and it looks great! Only problem is that I have to use eye makeup remover for the first time in my life. It all looked a little garish the first few times I wore it, but I've been told that makeup that looks OK to me looks too subtle to other people, so I guess I'm all right.

yeah, a lot of ladies wear a lot of make-up! i feel like if i put on eyeshadow +liner i'm overdoing it. lol.

when i was in nyc a few wks ago, i bought some Tarte tinted moisturizer and powder (which comes in kinda crazy compact! metallic 'quilted' purple! o_O) - i am liking it a lot! :)

i need a more subtle blush, maybe orgasm (have never tried it). i usually use a super hot pink mac one (dollymix) but sometimes, even super blended in, it feels a bit much... (tho totally goes with my skintone).

i also have a new plum-coloured nail polish! (complete salon manicure, sal1y hansen - this stuff stays ON.) - pretty :)

Oooh I love Dollymix. I wound up getting a Sephora brand blush about a month ago and complet

oops

completely love it. It doesn't have any shimmer at all and is just a gorgeous light pink. I will check on the name.

The eyeshadow I was trying to remember up there is Neutrogena Mineral Sheers, in Pebble. It looks like I can get away with wearing more makeup than I thought I could--maybe I really wasn't wearing enough of it.

guys, <3<3<3 stila "nude beach" or urban decay "minight cowboy rides again" eyeshadow!!!

looks better irl. also sadly kat von d's eyeshadow primer is the best one available. i say this after much reconnaissance.

do you like it better than the urban decay one?

yes i do! it definitely works better for me; i might have weird eyelids though. they're like, very smooth and slick. haw. when i started wearing that glittery color^ i really needed a primer or my face would be completely covered in glitter within an hour. oh and the kat von d one i use is the plain opaque one. i can't use anything gel or shiny. just doesn't work.

What was the name of Milan's Orgasm knockoff? I don't feel like loading 600 more messages in Zing.
