Femme-Fi was re-released with the Blonde Brunette Redhead collection (which is when I got it)!
I only have 2 things from Neo Sci-Fi, which is Femme-Fi eyeshadow and Pink Grapefruit lipglass. And you're right, I wouldn't want to part with them...Femme-Fi is AMAZING. I use it every single day. It's not obnoxiously frosty, just sort of shimmery. Great in the inner corner/tear duct. Also amazing as a brow highlight. Pink Grapefruit is the most gorgeous mid orangey-red-coral colour with fine gold shimmer. Beeeeautiful. Might be a bit much if you're really pale though. I also really really want Pleasureseeker lipstick from that collection. Haven't been able to find a seller that ships to Canada though. People sell things from Fafi and HK because they can make an enormous profit, and IMO the products themselves weren't that amazing. But I did buy the Pink Grapefruit l/g off Specktra so it's not like people aren't selling Neo Sci-Fi. |

I haven't been keeping up w/ makeup like I used to! Actually, I haven't at all. It's been a long dry spell, but I'm still loyal to MAC, Stila, Urban Decay, and Smashbox. :3

Anyways I need a really good Liquid Eyeliner since it's becoming part of my usual routine. any suggestions? I'm currently using Shiseido's. It might be a bit different as I bought it overseas (the packaging is definitely different), but I'd recommend you check out Urban Decay's. If you like felt tip liners, there's also MAC Penultimate Eye Liner, but I personally feel like the felt tip pen eye liners run out significantly faster than the brushed ones. However, I've also tried Prestige as well as Revlon liquid eyeliners which also come with felt tip applicators (but not pens) and they're fine to me... Shiseido's probably been my favorite so far as it's very black, long-lasting, and easy to take off. I hear Covergirl's isn't bad either, though. |

Yeah I totally agree about the MAC penultimate, thats what I usually use, but you know just as you said it runs out to quickly. But i'm going to trust you on the Shiseido and try that out. See how that goes for me :]. OH yeah is it waterproof? Cause. . . Living in texas sure makes the make up melt off my face :( |

hey i live in texas too! :)
It seems to be more of a silicone sort of mixture to me? like when I take it off I just have to put some water and rub at it with a q-tip for a bit - it kind of peels, but not if you're just running around on a regular day. I've never had a problem with it being too hot and 'melting' though - but if you happen to rub your eyes vigorously enough it might come off a little. Keep in mind though that i got mine overseas...I guess you should at least check out their return policy? If you haven't already heard of it, makeupalley.com is a great place to research before you buy. |

I'm currently using Shiseido's. It might be a bit different as I bought it overseas (the packaging is definitely different) Hmm you know, I've seen a line of shiseido cosmetics (limited) + body washes with different packaging and they are a little bit cheaper in price as well. I've seen then at some random Japanese shops and whatnot while I was in LA a while ago and somewhere in San Diego. I'm not sure if the quality of the product is different though? I haven't seen those products on the shiseido website, but then again I only view the U.S. one. Of course I only go to shiseido for facewash and moisturizer though. ;x |

Uh...don't over-apply gloss? Or frosty lipstick. But I really think frosty lipstick should be avoided by all.
That's pretty much it, I can't think of anything bad about full lips tbh. :D |

Don't use lip liner? Lip liner's fine to use, as long as it isn't darker than the lip gloss or lip stick that you're wearing. Some recommend using nude shades of lip liner, or one that it one shade lighter than your lips if you're going to wear a slightly tinted or clear lip gloss. Lip liner actually prevents the lipstick from bleeding or smudging as much. I'm not sure why, but it definitely worked for me. Of course I've probably only worn lipstick three times in my life: a wedding, prom, and when I got my makeup done at a shiseido booth since I bought some stuff and they offered to do my makeup, haha. Nowadays, I only wear chapstick since I lick my lips a lot out of habit, so any lippies would disappear shortly after. ![]() |

EVERYONE SHOULD POST PICTURES OF THEIR MAKEUP COLLECTIONS,
NOT FOR BRAGGING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, JUST FOR FUN ITS NICE SEEING WHAT EVERYONE HAS AND FOR ME ITS ALMOST LIKE AN ACCOMPLISHMENT- we all know it takes a lot of hours and work at hour jobs to get spending money, and if we spend it on makeup..great :] be proud of it. we work hard for it! XX |

So Shannon wanted me to show her my collection... I didn't want to bother taking a picture of all of it so here's most of it in all it's glory. Shoot me.

Gah, I'm so jealous of Tina's collection!
I have like, nothing. I spend hundreds on unnecessary fooding (dining out + froyo + tapX/teastation) each month even though it's all temporary. At least for makeup, you can keep it for longterm. ;o |
