What other brands do you use?

I use a lot of MAC, Dior, Too-Faced and sometimes Urban Decay (for eyes). i have a bunch of Bare Minerals that my Granny keeps buying for me but I can't use the eye stuff because it flakes all over my face.

For the BEST retro colors and an amazing palate, I highly recommend BESAME cosmetics. The most AMAZING lipstick and eye colors on the market for retro faces!

I will also say that I kinda dig ULTA's house brand for blush and eye stuff too.

Shu Uemura for false eyelashes!

My super secret guilty pleasure is Guerlain. (Don't tell Jack!)

Mascara: Hypnose by Lancome

Liner: Eye Shine pencil by Lise Watier in Cognac

Shadow: QUATUOR by Lise Watier in Les cuivrés

Bronzer: Mosaic Shimmer Bronzer by Quo

Brows: 3-in-1 eyebrow pencil by Quo in Light

Lips: I actually just use chapstick or clear gloss. *shrug* I'm more of an eyes person than a lips person.

Had a tube of Just Bitten in Gothic follow me home tonight... very easy application, excellent colour. Feels really nice and the balm coat is really nice - they should sell that on it's own. I love that it's also easy to use as a liner first. Going to take a bit of practice but playing with make-up is something this femme adores!

So funny. I have an addiction to lipgloss. I like it so much more than lipstick because I like the way lipgloss brings out my eyes and it makes my lips look soft. Lately, I have developed an addiction to Lip Smackers and even the chap stick looks good because of that little shimmer.

I am so in love with my new 3" pumps! They are a medium turquise patent leather with peek-a-boo open toe. They are absolutely gorgeous, and make my feet look sexy and delicious!!

I own about 50 pairs of shoes - 51 now with my turquise pumps - but, heck, who's counting!!! I just love shoes!! Any other shoe lovers out there? Describe your favorites, and why they are your faves.

p.s. I am making notes of all the cosmetic suggestions - need to replenish my complete supply! Thanks, girls...I am loving this thread!

Carry on!

iamkeri1 · 02-09-2011, 06:00 AM

The only actual lipstick that I can stand the feel of on my lips is Revlon, and they have a million colors. I too, prefer lip gloss - for the glossiness, of course.

My acttual all time favorite lip treatment is Bonne Bell red raspberry lip gloss. Nice dark red color, tastes good, and keeps your lips smooth and soft.

Smooches,
Keri

I got distracted by everyone talking about lipstick and posted about that. I actually got on here to talk about my "funnest" find of the last year or so. Hair Mascara!

It comes in a tube with an applicator like regular mascara. You hold out a strand of hair and then "paint" it with the hair mascara. You can spread it out further with a comb, or with your fingers. It dries quickly, and washes out completely (OFF YOUR HANDS TOO) I have pink and purple and have fun with it every once it a while. I found my colors at the dollar store.

Smooches,
Keri

Pixi Eye Bright Liner No.1 - Nude

rim the inner rim and POW! absolutely, totally makes your eyes look brighter, whiter, bigger. love it.

Passionaria · 02-15-2011, 11:08 PM

I want one.

PumaJ · 03-13-2011, 04:23 AM

I've been meaning to share this info here for a few days, but then would get busy and space it off. One of the things I'd always found very annoying about lipstick is that it would come off and I would have to reapply it frequently. Then both Revlon and L'oréal came out with lipsticks that actually last all day. Really last all day. They have to be washed or creamed off.

L'oréal's line is called Infallible

Revlon has two long wear formulas:

Miss Scarlett · 03-13-2011, 09:46 AM

I love this colour! Revlon Red #680

Went to ULTA the other night and they didn't have it...as in didn't carry this colour and the salesperson never heard of it! What's up with that!?!

Found it at Target, thank heavens...

Okay so now i'm curious anyone have those fine lines
around the eyes; if so have you found the secret
to diminishing those pesky signs of age?

RoC skin care line is a great facial product, it helps with the "lines" that come with aging.

Little butterfly kisses for those character lines...
Okay, I am out to go chop some wood or something. Maybe drill some holes somewhere.

Have you ladies ever noticed how we are mesmerized when you are doing your makeup, then you turn with that beautiful smile and twinkle in your eyes, and say "how do i look"

Diva · 03-13-2011, 12:12 PM

I'm finding the older I get, the less make-up I wear. I don't care for the harsh black ~ it's too much for me ~ and I DO look like a raccoon whether it drifts or not! lol So I wear a brown~black L'Oreal mascara that my daughter recommended. This one:

I find that a shimmery/glittery shadow tends to accent the wrinkles on my lids. I wear it anyway, but a matte color is really better.

Cannot STAND foundation.....It makes me feel as though my skin is smothered, I don't care how "light" they say it is.

L'Oreal true match blush is what I use.

My daughter also recommended Burt's Bees lip tint. LOVE it. Yes....You must reapply more often, but my lips are velvety soft all the time....You know, for all that KISSING I don't get.

And finally, my brows....UGH. When I lost Melody, I also lost a lot of hair. My brows never did fully recover. I find a pencil to be too harsh for me, so I use NYX cake powder..."for those movie star brows"... w.e. L'Oreal used to make Revitalist (same sorta product), but no longer make that. I used it because it looks more natural than a pencil.

God help me when I lose weight....my face will be one big wrinkle!!!

Miss Scarlett · 03-13-2011, 12:20 PM

My foundation is Bare Minerals - I just love it.
