how are you liking the studio sculpt? i've heard mixed reviews so i'm on the fence about it.

sometimes i get really good results but then sometimes i get cakey during mid-morning. idunno, cause it's not like i apply it using different methods everyday. i always use my fix+ then moisturizer, 187 brush and skinfinish natural to set. i still haven't figured it out :(!

Nga (hope you see this!) your sister has talent!!







I never wear any of my FOTDs out, way too much. But natural makeup doesn't photograph well at all.

Pretty, I like the colors.

SO PRETTY GIGI.

in high school i went nuts over green eyeshadow but when i actually tried it on, i just sorta looked like a gremlin :(

HEY BTDUBS ITS SUMMER LETS GET ANOTHER MAKEUP CONTEST GOING

What did you use? I'm really interested in that green ;]

thanks guys :D:D

Christina, I think I used a green pigment from a Canadian drugstore brand not available in the US (I think the colour was Eco Chic and the brand is Annabelle). But under that I used Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Covet smudged on the lid as a base.

I loooove Annabelle, I wish they would sell it in the States.

I've er...never done make up before today
my sister was always doing mine for special occasions, and then I normally never wear any every other time

I dunno how yall do it >.>


and ehh here's the whole thing >.<


Edit:
andddd now I see why yall like it xD

Wow. This thread =

I love the bright colors. I need some more.

goofipinay, that's actually really good for your first try!! I think all you needed was to curl the lashes and use some mascara to really finish it off.

ahh you're so pretty! I see you're really into Cargo stuff - any good?

Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Femme-Fi.

wooow did you get a haircut too Christina?

Well, I only have one thing from Cargo, and it's this:

In Dark/Neutral. It's ~$32 USD at Sephora. Some people have complained about the colors being chalky and that it was "expensive". I think it depends on how you pair up the colors, and choosing the right combo. I swatched each color on my hand to make sure palette's colors weren't chalky. It definitely has A LOT of product in it! MAC, UD, and Stila, and Lancome e/s are usually 0.04-0.05 oz. each. Cargo's palette has about 0.16 oz. for each color, so it will last a really long time. For me, it's a really good investment. My best friend likes Cargo products as well. :] Definitely test out the colors and see if they work for you! Staying power is good and it's definitely pigmented. Colors are true to color on my skin. I haven't had any complains about it.


Ninja, I got my hair cut the day before comic-con. I even posted up pictures on FB and cB the same night I cut it! haha yea I got it cut and now I look more "asian/fob", as my friends say.

OHHHH LOL, sorrry i haven't been keeping up with the freshest mongorian beef

Make it up to me by hookin' it up with the Herro Kitty MAC, kthxbai.

p.s. again, go to sreep!

Christina, you look so cute! :D How are the Stila powders working for you? I've pretty much tried every Stila thing except for those. ;O

And wow @ the Cargo palette, that's like.. as much as you can fit in a MAC 16 palette. :3 You make me wanna try it now, haha.

Bronzer's nice, but you definitely need the right brush to pick up enough product and dispel it properly. So either use a dense brush, or a something similar to a fan brush (i.e. mac 184) to create the 3 on your face for contouring. My ecotools blush brush is dense, but too soft to apply it properly. This is probably due to the texture of the bronzer being slightly creamier.

As for the illuminating finishing powder - waste of money. Don't buy it. In fact, I only have it because it came with the bronze glow set. I can't believe that piece of shit is $32. I'd rather spend $32 on the Cargo neutral e/s set any day than the illuminating powder. The powder has so much glitter on it! I used very little of the product. It's also hard to pick up, even with my dense gloMinerals kabuki (which I love love love). In addition, I'd rather not use my fingers to apply it, since it's hard to apply all-over products with your fingers. In addition, since it's really sheer, it's not pigmented, and I don't think it really did much except make my face look glittery. It's in between shmmery and glittery.

lmao I should write reviews on products for Trish's blog. haha jk I'm not a good writer. ;/

Ahh that sucks, I was thinking of getting it too!

I'm getting all these emails and reading all about promotions on the internet and it's pissing me off cus I can't order anything online right now.

sighhh

hehe i should smuggle some stuff over. haha jk.

Hippie yo, not that you can see the make-up that well. And yes there is a toilet in the background.
