For the "Glam" of it

Miss Scarlett · 01-23-2011, 05:36 PM

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.

I agree carbon black is wonderful, and finding
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.

Always been my favorite for long lasting and full lashes

GAH! - Is THAT what happened to MAC? I used to spend literally hundreds of dollars a year on cosmetics and brushes, etc. with MAC and I noticed a distinct decline in the quality.

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)

Thanks Medusa, I'll have to check that out too.

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?

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!)

I used to wear their lipstick until my shade was reported to be the one with the highest lead content.

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.

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'll second the Ruby Woo! It's another GREAT (and retro!) red!
