Hi.....

So..................I'm into cosmetics. And i love the fashion center on CB. But we have no cosmetics area? or do we? O.O
edit: hair / facial products too!! I TRY LOADS! :D

Either way, Discuss!
-products that you really like
-products you hate
-products you want to try
-products you'd like reviewed, etc

I study this, so ask me anything!! I'd love to try and help (: And I love saving up for things and trying them. So if you have something you'd like reviewed, please ask! I "collect" makeup, you could say.. I'm always up for buying and trying it!

I think we had single cosmetic item threads such as "acne makeup, mascara, eyeliner, etc."

But I guess this could mean the whole cosmetic subject.




I like eyeshadow.

oh >.< i didnt know we had one, sorry :P

I just want to hear from people and help if needed, hehe.

I spend most of my money when i buy cosmetics on eye shadow.
but i look better without it in my opinion, so i dont know why i keep buying it! :P

The best makeup thread, http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...=210269&hl=

................i was kinda shooting for something a little different :/
not anything like that >.>

I know, I was just saying. It hasn't been posted in for a long time.

maybe later tonight i'll put something up in it then, xx
(:

Yeah even though that one's for posting photos of makeup, it really just turns into a giant discussion about makeup anyway.

Please post in it! I posted a FOTD in there a while back and almost no one noticed :(

I will post in both (:
i was just trying to make this one a bit different.

maybe i didnt fully explain my point >.<'
oh well :P

we all have fun anyway. XP

Like right now- just post what your favourite brands of cosmetics are,
and what is a couple items in your collection you think were DEFINITELY well worth the purchase?? (:

can i help anyone with anything? ^_____________________^

I wanted the makeup crowd to get a look at one of Trish's newest sites. She updated it to her cb profile this morning. I figured, since I saw it, I would share.

Favorite brands: Urban Decay, Stila (because their foundation for some reason doesn't grease out my face like Clinique does =\) I wish I had enough money to afford Nars =(

i spend so much money on little things that i never have enough when it comes around to actually buying this i want......like NARS.
Im currently "saving up" for the nars orgasm blush though!! ^.^ i fell in love with it *.*

saving up is quoted because i dont really "save". I tend to just say i am and then never get around to actually putting money away for it :P i suck at it. xx

Foundation? O_O i must try! i'm having a difficult time finding the right foundation for my face.

For mineral makeup, I'm using mineralGLO pressed foundation (powder) and I really like it. I don't use a primer, but it stays on all day, and I'm not breaking out the few times I've used it (dates, clubbing, dinner events, etc.).

Favorite brands:
- MAC
- Cargo
- Lancome
- Mineral Glo
- Sonia Kashuk (for cheap brushes)

I've been looking at mac foundation, im scared my skin is too oily for it though :/


BTW. IF YOU GUYS HAVE NEW/USED MAKEUP THAT YOU JUST DONT WANT...I WILL BUY IT FROM YOU!! O.O

i don't know what to say.
i like eyeliner?

is there a specific kind/brand you always buy?

I really like Physician's Formula's mineral powders. I don't usually have the time to put on foundation and concealer, and their powders are really nice - it smooths out my skin but is light and doesn't clog.

I also like their eye makeup, esp. the "Shimmer Strips" powder ^____^

Go to Specktra or Makeupalley for that.

Love Bobbi Brown for base products, especially concealer and corrector. In the summertime I use her tinted moisturizer which is awesome. To set the whole thing I use MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural...been using that pretty often for the past two years.

My favourite brands are:
MAC
Stila
Benefit
Urban Decay
shu uemura
Shiseido MAQuillage

I also really adore theBalm for their bronzer and blush in Hot Mama. It's a more pigmented, less glittery NARS Orgasm. IMO Orgasm is pretty overrated and there are toms of peachy pink blushes with gold shimmer out there that are better.

Agreed. I tried on the NARS Orgasm blush and it doesn't even compare to my MAC peachykeen, which is much more pigmented and felt smoother. Plus, my mac one is cheaper: $18 vs $25

i just bought this lot,

O_O

no mac peachykeen tho :(
that will have to be my next buy, x

I love makeup, it's such an obsession haha. Expensive though.

My favourite brands are
- MAC
- Nars (my #1 favourite for eyeshadows, it's soo expensive though)
- Make Up Forever

I dont have that much though, building it up slowly haha.

I really want to try Urban Decay's Primer Potion & Make Up Forever's HD Foundation. I live so far from a Sephora atm. Can't wait till I'm back at university, cause it's right next to a Sephora lol.

its my obsession too.
and its like..i tell people i "collect" makeup
and they just look at me funny and walk away >.< :(


EDIT:
I've seen people who are selling their old mac, and none of them sell things from the Neo SciFi collection. When i ask why, every single one of them say they love it too much to give it up. But they sell things from the Fafi and HK collections and etc.

do any of you own anything from the neo scifi collection? i havent ever tried anything from it so idk where they're coming from on this :/

I pretty much made my friends go with me to the grand opening of Sephora for like 30+ minutes. I felt kinda bad as no one really shares my makeup interest LOL

Shelby, what's all the stuff in the lot you bought?

I have a MAC e/s in Femme-Fi from the Neo Sci-Fi collection and it's a really nice neutral color that I use on the lids, sometimes as a base color or alone. I bought it last month while I was at the Cosmetics Company Outlet.

However, I believe Femmi-Fi was re-released? I'm not sure. The orange case isn't exactly "really pretty", but it is unique. I need to go back to the cco and buy all the colors because I saw a bunch of neo sci-fi stuff there.
