I don't think I'm ready to go for full coverage foundation (especially not in this heat) so I'm starting out with a tinted moisturizer. Since this is my first go round, I'm going to try the one from E.L.F. Cant go wrong for a dollar! lol

Ok, tinted moisturizer? Never heard of it, i will check it out. I want to add a little something to my face but not quite sure on how to pick it.

I do. I wear M.A.C. Studio Tech i love how it doesn't give me the ghostly look. and it matches the best with my skin tone. it a liquid/powder mix. but when i am in a hurry i may just apply concealer around the eye area where i have dark spots.

@krazy yes I use it after the dawn. I let it sit for a couple of minutes then rinse

So yall I need help lol I went BACK to Ulta because they're having a sale until the 25th...I think I'm feeding into my make up junkie bc I can't do my hair (I'm wearing micros) and Ulta is a place where I indulge in hair and make up stuff Sad

Anyway, this will (hopefully) be my last make up purchase for the year bc I need to start saving for my purchases at the Bronner Bros hair show in Feb. Good news is I only spent $16 and I got

A pack or Ardell individual lashes and a pair of strip lashes in 120 Demi (they were 2 for $6, and they normally for for a little over $4 for a pack/pair)
2 Maybelline quads in "Give Me Golds" and Sapphire Siren
An Ulta brand nail color in "Tu Tu Cute"
An Ulta brand lip liner in "Raisin"
And a Revlon matte lipstick in "Really Red"

They have some really good deals on the Ulta brand products some of their lip items and nail polishes were just $2 and I think the foundation was going for around $8...that section was tore up though lol I'm glad I found the 2 items I got cause the good colors were probably all gone lol

Not very often, normally just when I have my monthly breakouts Sad

But when I do wear it I wear Prescriptives liquid foundation ans set it with MAC Mineralized foundation, or I'll just wear the MAC on its own. Revlon has a Photo Ready foundation I want to try...

by krazy coils 16th September 2010, 11:16 pm

Naturaltina when you mentioned that Ulta had a BOGO 50% off on some products I made my way over there (lol)! I was good I only got a NYX triple shadow quad with purples and plum and a NYX lipgloss in Copper penny.
I'm going back this weekend when I have more time to look around.

maaaaaan i had to keep deleting Ulta's temptation...BE GONE DEVIL Evil or Very Mad

i already KNEW not to enter!

@crissy; u dont need foundation im sure. its too complicated tryin to find the right complexion n mixin n matchin to get the right shade bounce

i say stick to the tinted moisturizer or nmpo's concealer rec's.

@tina-ooooh i want that Narcissus, looks like my other perfect amber rose shade. and PLEASE show me the medusa cuz im oh so curious about that color. u can also find the NYX lipliners on ebay, i got a set of 12 for under $15!

ive only washed my brushes n baby poo but never followed up w/condish..good idea!

by NubieNatty 18th September 2010, 12:12 am

ooooh i almost forgot to share....
so yall know for the life of me i can NOT bring myself to have a steady hand...or eye for eyeliner on the bottom. well i discovered a much better way to apply it and its soooo much easier FOR ME!! i just used the flat liner brush i had from UD (from the hautelook sale) and it went on perfectly. i swept the brush on my UD loose powder n just dabbed it along my lower lash line.

Looking cute Nubie! I saw the NYX Medusa lipstick at Ulta and it is indeed a gorgeous purple. They only had the tester left so I couldn't get it Sad

by ChrsLvsBks 19th September 2010, 12:07 am

@Nubie and krazy coils, congrats on your accomplishments!

@Nubie, is the NYX lipgloss African Queen or Queen of Africa? I have Queen of Africa.

I thought I had Medusa by NYX. I have Orpheus, a lilac with greyish tones--interesting color.

Tips for applying eyeliner. Here are mine courtesy of many YT videos. Please share yours.
Look down when applying to upper lash line
Try to get as close to lash line as possible
Use a flat or angled brush when using gel/cream liner
Apply liner in short strokes
For wing, start with end of lower lash line and extend up

Today's eye look using UD's ammo palette--chopper, sin & smog

Gorgeous, did you use pigments for both (lid and lower lash line)? Did you use a color from your crease to brow bone? Inquiring minds are interested, at least I am [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] .

hautelook is going to get me in trouble this week!

by ChrsLvsBks 20th September 2010, 5:03 pm

I checked Stila today hoping they had the Kajal eyeliners and a navy blue cream/gel liner. They had neither.

NOTE: Anyone have any recommendations for Lorac?

Also, I used Milk of Magnesia (CVS brand) and Monistat chafing gel today. It works for me. I added a dime size or so MOM to my tinted moisturizer. Tomorrow I will use much much less. I had too much product. I used about a dime's size. I will use a pea size or smaller tomorrow. After three to five minutes, I applied the gel. No oily skin at all today even after my 30m lunch workout.

Yes I used NYX pigment for the top and I only applied it to my lid, no color in the crease or browbone. And on my lower lash line I used a HIP duo color (Showy) wet. That's one of my 5 minute looks lol

by ChrsLvsBks 21st September 2010, 10:46 am

I did a search on Lorac reviews. The Behind the Scenes primer is rated good as well as their 3D lipglosses. I'm thinking of getting the lipglosses. A couple of makeup blogs also mentioned the pigmentation of their eyeshadows.
