i want to do this face

the most astonishing writer on ilx (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 12 September 2012 05:14 (thirteen years ago)

You so should. I see a shimmery grey/blue all over the lid, darker blue in the outer corners, line all the way on the water lines (upper lid and lower) and then a super matte lip stick with lipliner. Maybe CHILI by MAC.

HMMMM I like the efficiency of having both products in one pencil.

carl agatha, Wednesday, 12 September 2012 14:35 (thirteen years ago)

Chili looks otm

the most astonishing writer on ilx (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 12 September 2012 17:02 (thirteen years ago)

excuse my ignorance but i am genuinely curious (as i currently use the same one for both!) -- what is the difference between the one you use for the inner eye and what you use for the waterline?

rayuela, Wednesday, 12 September 2012 17:04 (thirteen years ago)

The waterline one is more of a off white pencil with a tiny touch of pink while the highlighter side is larger, softer and is more of a bright but natural white/pink color. The highlighter is also good for under eyes.

im definitely not pretty today, i actually kind of skipped class for this reason tbh

i have a great manicure though

the most astonishing writer on ilx (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 12 September 2012 21:19 (thirteen years ago)

that's the thing! it's like my hair looks GREAT. but i think i am shiny or something. i don't usually have shine control problems but i think i need to do re-apply powder.

surm, Wednesday, 12 September 2012 21:20 (thirteen years ago)

Do you use blotting papers? I love the hell out of those things.

carl agatha, Wednesday, 12 September 2012 21:24 (thirteen years ago)

i really need to get some more. they are so so helpful for summer, i remember.

surm, Wednesday, 12 September 2012 21:25 (thirteen years ago)

I never have shine problems anymore. I can't use powder at all

the most astonishing writer on ilx (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 12 September 2012 21:29 (thirteen years ago)

I have packets of blotting papers: 1) in my desk at work; 2) in my purse; and 3) at my house. ABB (always be blotting)

carl agatha, Wednesday, 12 September 2012 21:31 (thirteen years ago)

What are the best reasonably priced blotting papers? I have some crap from Sephora (can only get 10 sheets out at a time) and some super-expensive Japanese stuff that I don't want to become reliant on.

ljubljana, Wednesday, 12 September 2012 22:34 (thirteen years ago)

i got loads from Avon. I mean, Santa got me them <3

Avon exists in Canada! Who know. I will set off in pursuit

*knew

ljubljana, Thursday, 13 September 2012 00:07 (thirteen years ago)

Elf has some pretty good ones that are $1.something USD for 50 sheets. The Sephora ones are way over priced.

carl agatha, Thursday, 13 September 2012 01:22 (thirteen years ago)

Ta!

ljubljana, Thursday, 13 September 2012 01:47 (thirteen years ago)

Look, there's a special eyeliner for filling in the base of your lashes a la the Natalie Dee tutorial I linked a few days ago - http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2247542&productId=xlsImpprod4520047

Part of me is like NO UNITASKERS! and part of me is totally going to buy it.

carl agatha, Friday, 14 September 2012 14:18 (thirteen years ago)

the adoring reviews make it tempting

rayuela, Friday, 14 September 2012 15:19 (thirteen years ago)

the tip is kind of creepy looking

rayuela, Friday, 14 September 2012 15:21 (thirteen years ago)

The better to fill in the base of your lashes, my dear.

carl agatha, Friday, 14 September 2012 15:24 (thirteen years ago)

(which is what the creepy tip would say if it could talk to you.)

carl agatha, Friday, 14 September 2012 15:24 (thirteen years ago)

unitaskers are ok in makeup. theyre small. its not like having a hot diggity dogger in your kitchen

the most astonishing writer on ilx (roxymuzak), Friday, 14 September 2012 22:46 (thirteen years ago)

Really want that, but in dark brown.

ljubljana, Friday, 14 September 2012 23:11 (thirteen years ago)

That tip is on a new eyeliner Bourjois has coming out, but I think marketed as a normal "but amazing" eyeliner, so that could be used for upper and lower, probably..

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Saturday, 15 September 2012 00:27 (thirteen years ago)

LOL hot diggity dogger

carl agatha, Saturday, 15 September 2012 00:57 (thirteen years ago)

that said i do have a hot diggity dogger

the most astonishing writer on ilx (roxymuzak), Saturday, 15 September 2012 01:54 (thirteen years ago)

I had never heard of a Hot Diggity Dogger til now -- this news has seriously made my day. I mean, I'm no fan of unitaskers but that is awesome.

so i have been using a night treatment

surm, Saturday, 15 September 2012 20:58 (thirteen years ago)

Tell us about it!

So how should we do this? I know I have an idea of a tired and true fav products entry and mandee wants to write about Estee Lauder. Should I email everyone who said they want to be involved and we can figure out technical stuff?

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Saturday, 15 September 2012 21:01 (thirteen years ago)

Email seems reasonable!

carl agatha, Saturday, 15 September 2012 21:18 (thirteen years ago)

I wasn't sure if you had my email so I ILX messaged it to you.

carl agatha, Saturday, 15 September 2012 21:20 (thirteen years ago)

Awesome. I'll get in touch either tonight or tomorrow :)

Tell more! What is it doing that is magical???

quincie, Tuesday, 18 September 2012 11:47 (thirteen years ago)

well it comes out of the tube white and feels like it has little beads in it but when you put it on your face it somehow transforms to a perfect foundation. Perfect in color, coverage, lightness. It seems to blend itself. It doesn't look like heavy makeup at all but all imperfections just disappear. so freakin' crazy!

That's the kind of effect I was hoping for and it just didn't happen for me with the Korean one!
