I am on a mission to find Maybelline's Fit Me foundation. I've found it but I cant find my color, 350-Caramel. Looks like I may end up having to order it online. Ugh I hate waiting on stuff. I'd much rather get it from a store.

Nubie...I'm glad I didn't see your post, I just came out of Ulta. Those pencils sound nice though. I just got a NYX brow pencil, another eyebrow pencil (meaning to get a lip liner pencil, 2nd time I've done this) and KP's OPI polish in The One that Got Away...

Try Target. I saw it in my local Target the other day.

Hi Brandi...

Just want to share something that I just started using last week.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I was using Chap Stick before I would apply my lipstick, but on a whim I brought MAC's Lip Prep & Prim and I'm so glad I did. When I say my lipstick stays on ALL day.

I had to get use to it the first couple of days (only because I think I was addicted to Chap Stick) but it preps my lips and I don't have to use as much lipstick...if that makes sense.

HTH

Love Mac Lip Prep & Prime. cheers

Works like a charm.

I went there too. They didnt have my color either. I also tried CVS, Ulta & Walgreen's. Crying or Very sad

I'm gonna try Walmart tomorrow. Ordering online will be my last option.

Very pretty looks Dva! Im in love with that African Queen. I picked it up the day after you posted it. lol

by krazy coils 30th January 2011, 11:57 pm

I see you DVA with that Red and Fushia Lip, love it!! I am going to have to get African Queen because I am really loving the Fuschia color on my lips!

by NylaCoils 31st January 2011, 12:44 am

DVA- i love all the looks- the fuschia one is my fave!!!

Jlowman- the pink was a loreal color PEONY PINK

Yall- one of the reasons why I didn't wear make-up is because I have puffy eyes and you hardly ever see anyone with puffy eyes.

Come to find out my eyes aren't puffy. They are considered HOODED! Here are the eye types and tips for how to apply make-up to the eye types

Nyla since you have hooded eyes some of the makeup tutorials for hooded eyes on youtube would be helpful since they apply eyeshadow a little differently since its hard to see the crease.

Beautiful!

I went to MAC Saturday. I was thinking about you. I did good because they did not have two of the brushed I wanted, the 217 and stipple brush, not sure of the number now.

by ChrsLvsBks 31st January 2011, 3:06 pm

Ladies,

NYX Cosmetics will be on HauteLook Thursday. You do have to register but it is free.

by Nikcoils 31st January 2011, 5:37 pm

I did a Nikki Minaj inspired look with a different shade of pink

I use 99 cent lipstick my NYC called Blossom got it from RiteAid and used it with my Vino Lipliner from MAC.

The Eye pallete is my Trio Pallette Love to Love by MAC

And Mascara is the Nice and Naughty Mascara(Naughty)

ChrsLvsBks: Thank goodness I'm broke until Friday, I won't be tempted to buy since all the good stuff will be gone by then lol

Nikcoils: Looks good Nik. I'm loving the fuchsia lips on you and Dva!

by krazy coils 31st January 2011, 6:01 pm

@Nikcoils - love the fuschia color.

by ChrsLvsBks 31st January 2011, 6:43 pm

I see you NikCoils--sultry NAUGHTY LOOK.

I went to the MAC counter. I was pleased to have a foundation match me Smile

. I was kind of pleased that they did not have the makeup brushes I wanted to purchase. I saved money and purchased a NYX Cosmetics professional blending brush, said to be comparable to the MAC 217. I have the Sigma blending brush compared to MAC's 217 but the shape changed on me, not as full at the tip Crying or Very sad

. I used the NYX brush this morning. I like it Smile

. I also tried the Haute & Naughty out. It did not do anything more for my lashes. My lashes are naturally long and pretty thick. More money saved.

I purchased the Studio Tech cream foundation, Studio Finish concealer & eyebrow pencil in Spiked. So glad to have Spiked again, it cuts down on my makeup application time. My brows take the longest. Using cream/gel liner takes me way too long.

I also shaped my brows yesterday. I want a fuller brow now.

I want to get some good brushes but I don't want to spend a fortune....thoughts?

I apologize beforehand for the quality. My digi cam broke awhile ago, so Im relying on my cell phone camera. My skin is not shiny at all, its the flash..

So I finally found the Fit Me foundation, powder and concealer in my color (350-Caramel) and can I just say that I LOVE it! It looks so natural. Almost as though I have no makeup on. Application was very easy. I used my Sigma Flat Top Kabuki. Ladies that wear liquid foundation, give this brush a try. Its amazing! Here's the look:

I just have on Urban Decay liner in Binge on my lower lash line, I set it with the navy blue color from Coastal Scents Fall Festival Palette. NYX Smokey Look on my lips, MAC Melba blush on my cheeks and MAC MSF in Gold Deposit as my highlight and Falsies mascara...

Check out Makeupgeektv.com. She has quite a few posts about brushes. This is where I found out about the NYX Cosmetics professional blending brush being comparable to MAC's 217.

Thanks!

I try to do that on days when I want something on my eyes but really dont feel like wearing eyeshadow. I also like pairing it with neutral eyes!
