For the "Glam" of it
So i'm always on the outlook for wonderful make up,
I've tried everyting from high end to drug store cosmetics. I must say my addiction is the perfect mascarra, so here is a place to share your best finds, what works, what doesn't. C`mon ladies share your scores and secret beauty tips. I'll go first after years of trying to find that just right mascarra I think the fit for me is Falsies by Maybelline, It does plump and lengthen the lashes without that nasty crumbs dropping everywhere. http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/...11_display.jpg |
I love DiorShow for mascara:
http://allwomenstalk.com/wp-content/...ow_mascara.jpg But also love Voluminous for a cheaper version (although this one does dry out quicker meaning you have to buy a new one about every month): http://www.realbeauty.com/cm/realbea...Mascara-de.jpg |
I love, love, love the look of deep black lashes and started wearing L'Oreal's Voluminous Carbon Black - waterproof of course. Unfortunately by the end of my workday it migrates below my lower lashes and I'm sportin' the raccoon look.
The only mascara I've found that will not do this to me is also from L'Oreal - Double Extend in blackest black. I also found an amazing eye liner 24hour wear, waterproof, smudgeproof - Kiss 24 Hour Luxury Eye Liner also in blackest black. It's a twist-up; I just adore it and buy 3 or 4 at a time because I'm afraid it will be discontinued. |

the perfect 24 hr liner is hard to find. Ty for the tip:) |
I love how L'oreal Lipstick feels on my mouth and it looks lucious too.

I am a fan of R&R mascara. I have always been a MAC fan until Estee Lauder purchased them. It seems as though their products have gone up in price and the quality has gone down. http://shop.rockandrepublic.com/stor...041_noir_l.jpg |

Am now in search of the perfect red - a very clear red with no undertones. It has to be creamy, long lasting, non-bleeding and smudgeproof. If anyone has any suggestions I'd be grateful. |
Always been my favorite for long lasting and full lashes

Recently I've fallen in love with Revlon's Just Bitten http://asset2.wellmedia.ca/images/la...812564_LRG.jpg |

I still think that Viva Glam I is the most perfect red in the whole wide world and wear it religiously (my signature color for almost 10 years) |

The best stain I ever had was one purchased at a health food store back in the 90s. It was vegan and lasted for days - so help me. Alas, I can no longer find the stuff. |

MAC Ruby Woo Amazing Red! http://blog.newsok.com/fashionmatter...c-ruby-woo.jpg |

Miss Scarlett is making a list! |

Yeah, its a shame what happened to MAC's quality. I miss the old MAC. I still havent found another brand that compares to their lipstick. I now use a few other brands that I love. Rock & Republic, Shu and Dior. What other brands do you use? |
Quote:
Ruby Woo is a matte. So the staying power is amazing. And, I love that if I want really glossy lips I can put a red or clear gloss over it. I usually stay with the matte look of it with false eyelashes and the winged eyeliner look. |

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

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.

Can we talk 'shoes' for a minute?
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! |
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. |
The french half moon manicure...

Great lipstick
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: |
I love this thread! I love watching Femmes put on their make-up, and I'm finding that I enjoy hearing them talk about it, too! Thanks.

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!?!:4femme: Found it at Target, thank heavens...:cheer: http://a1468.g.akamai.net/f/1468/580.../36141/100.jpg |
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? |

Title is a grabber . and about those FINE lines
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" Outta here :ymca: |
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:
http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...genMascara.jpg 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!!! :eyebat: |
My foundation is Bare Minerals - I just love it.
