@nubie, I just use Neutrogena makeup remover wipes to get off Milani liquid eyeliners.

@sweet, love the look. You did a fantastic job with the inner tearduct!

@KNH, look at you and all your makeup purchases. Love watching you on YT, nice accent. I typically line my upper eye & bottom water line. It helps, IMO, to finish off the look.

@BP, yes, I love using a lighter color in my tearduct. Never thought to use gold, great idea, thanks!

@kelleemudiva, beautiful avatar! Not sure if you have stopped by before, welcome! Please do not be a stranger.

@jlow, you are doing it with those looks. ~~Wish I could make the pictures larger to see the details.~~ Duh, I saw I could enlarge the photos. Are the LaFemme blushes powdery?

Please excuse the oil sitting on top of my makeup. It was a long day. Here is a pic of this look with glitter added.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

@kellemudiva - very pretty and I love the colors you used!

Thanks krazy coils Wink

@chrslvsbks: Thanks Chrs! They are a bit powdery but the pigmentation is amazing, they are cheap and they blend very well so I can definitely overlook that lol

@kellemudiva: Very pretty colors, love the look!

I am actually looking for an old desk with drawers to store my makeup in because this is just some of it I have a couple of more containers off to the side.

That's a good start KC! I think I'ma pick up some of those drawer thingys.

Did anyone order anything from the recent Rock and Republic Hautelook sale?

I got several shadows and several lip glosses. I'll def share looks when I get the products. I'm so excited. I also recently purchased two MAC lipsticks (Syrup & Ravishing) and two lipglasses: (Lychee Luxe & Nymphette)

@pretty_vee: I got the Train Wreck lip gloss you had on in your recent YT vid. It was gorgeous! I'm blaming you for enabling me! hahaha Very Happy

by kelleemudiva 23rd March 2011, 6:26 pm

@jlowman - I used a combination of NYX and Urban Decay

Ladies, you're all doing it up in here!
Great job! One day I'll post pics.

Great inspiration ladies, thanks!

Okay...I've missed so much. So let me update real quick...I've been trying to get the hang of putting on tinted moisturizer with a brush, but something was wrong it was coming out off color and I didn't know that the problem was. So instead of using Sephora's (press powder) I went back to my MAC powder for a matted look. Can I say that worked...I've been taking pictures to share, but I haven't had a chance to post...so here's one I took today with my phone.

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

It's a little dark (sorry) but I used BH cosmetics neutral palette, and I tried liner on my upper lid with ELF's liquid liner. Not sure if you can see it, (still a work in progress...lol) and the lipstick is Revlon's Luminous Pink with Elf's Fairy Hypershine Gloss. I really like my eye's today y'all!! dance

I bought a bronzer today but I don't have a clue what to do with it. Do I use blush and then bronze??

So this post will not be so long let me trying to get this in...

@KC...you have sooo much make-up..LOL However, I totally understand this is so addicting
@Jlow...Love the looks you posted and that lipstick/gloss is beautiful. (gotta go back and read to see what you used)
@MsV (PrettyV)...girl you make me spend money that lipgloss you had on in your last video was soo pretty. Please share your stash we promise not to laugh
@kelleemudiva...nice look! I really like NYX shadows, and I'm in love with my Naked Palette by UD.. drunken

@Sweet...I agree with Nubie you have really been doing your thing with your make-up!

so I know I'm missing someone be right back!!

KNK I agree about Bronzer I stalk it all the time in the drugstore and Target and refuse to buy it cause i don't know how to use it. Blush or all over...cause i don't need the sunkissed look...but it looks like it would be a good highlight on cheeks.

by BrownSkinDiva 24th March 2011, 2:02 pm

KNH you look really happy! and that make up looks good too sis Smile

by jlowman1 24th March 2011, 4:45 pm

@KNH: I have Covergirl Queen bronzer. I use it when I don't want to wear blush or foundation. I lightly dust it over my chest, cheekbones, temples and down my nose just for a natural glow. It also evens me out a little bit. Be careful though because some bronzers are HEAVY on the shimmer, don't wanna look like a bottle of glitter nail polish! lol

@Nikcoils....I'm going to take jlow's advice and try my bronzer this weekend. I think I bought Milani's it has two colors.

@jlow...I know what you mean. lol!

I bought a bronzer by ELF Monday it had about 4 different colors. I tried it Wednesday and I look like I had been hit in the face by the sun!! sunny

It was kinda funny so I took it back to the store today and got Milani's....it doesn't have a lot of shimmer to it. LOL

by brandiitneka 24th March 2011, 6:17 pm

Lookin Good Ladies!! I have been out of the loop for a while. Work and school kickin' by butt!

jlow- are you ready for this Alabama heat this summer??!! My skin has been going through some things due to this funny acting weather.

Does anybody have any suggestions for a summer time face? I think i am just gonna do a tinted moisturizer, some powder and a blush. Gonna try and keep it as simple as possible (except for my eyes).

I went and bought some new products today, I am gonna try and see what looks I can come up with this weekend.

by jlowman1 24th March 2011, 6:59 pm

@brandii... I am sooooo not ready. I was telling my coworker today, we don't have Spring. We go straight from Winter to Summer. lol, my skin has started to get oily as it's getting warmer... Argh

. & I'm with you on keeping it simple, I think I'll just stick to bronzer only or powder & blush.

by brandiitneka 25th March 2011, 11:11 am

Maybe I am late but.... I hit the jackpot in Target last night!I have not been in a while, I went looking for a Sonia Kusack blush brush, they were out (as usuall) So I went tothe next isle and BAM!! There it was, the E.L.F rack. I picked up just about every product they had. I knew they sold their products, but now they have a whole section. The only thing that I did not get was the little eyeshadows with the customizable quad pallet and the tinted moisturizer. I plan on going to pick those up today.

jlow- you are right, we dont have spring here, at all!
