I feel pretty--NOT! THE COSMETICS THREAD

HA!

I forgot about this thread/board. . .

I'm going to get some wetslicks although I'm sure I used it years ago and did like the stickiness. Can someone describe the sticky factor and staying power?

Reposted from ILE:
thought this might be the thread to ask about............ eyelash perming.
Sounds mental but my eyelashes are pretty long but dead straight, even drooping down at the outer corners which makes me look half asleep. I curl them with metal curlers that I heat up with a hairdryer for a few seconds but this doesn't last very long.

Anyone tried eyelash perming? If I could just get them to curl up 90 degrees I'd be happy!

ppl worry about the weirdest things

i just bought a lipstick i love: yves st laurent rouge pur opium red. it costs more than a lipstick should cost, but guys it's awesome!

i had no idea eyelash perming was a thing.

susan i didn't see your question!

WETSLICKS staying power is pretty good, and it's not a gross stickiness at all. feels very clean, and not gunky.

much better than the neutrogena one, IMO

lol that lohan launched her own self tanner?!

lol yesss, and it's like, why would anyone want to look like her tan?

guys i have a new product. it's called Clinique City Block Sheer Shimmer with SPF15 in Golden. it's like a lightweight foundation/tinted moisturizer

I had that one but I feel like it had a lot of sparkle. It was too much for daytime use for me but I feel like you could probably rock that.

man i want to try that

girl, you know i can deal with the sparkle

<3!

after all my bitching upthread i somehow bought more bare minerals (in fair, lol) the other day because it was $17 cheaper than the foundation i'd run out of (makeup forever hd stuff - amazing!) and now i am like uh why did i do that? i think it was bc my friend was here and her skin looked great and she was using it (also super white like me... maybe whiter). but now i am having buyer's remorse.

also that clarins eye stuff... i feel like after the first few uses, it did nothing? maybe you get used to it?

i think i am allergic to this shit!!!

Ugh that sucks. Sorry Tza. I didn't like it much either. I've pretty much given up on foundation anyway. I don't really need it. I can cover what needs to be covered with a little concealer. I am, however, taking recs for a good pressed powder.

i remember not liking it before but i think i was just fooled by my friend's skin looking good. but damn. itchy! bumpy! and a little burny!!! :(

i returned that stuff but my face still has these unsightly tiny little bumps that i can't get to go away!! any products good for calming a bad skin reaction? it looks horrible. i feel like a teenager!

i got ;this today. curious to see if it actually works! i used to use the smart shade. i am intrigued by the 'balancing' claim here. needed something a little lighter for summer. actually lately i am just using concealer and finishing with powder bc it is too hot/greasy for foundation.

have yall tried this crazy thing or similar!

that is intense

I love that it's called "Nobody's Perfect," too.

but yea who's wearing concealer that orange

that is what's wrong with america today

i think it is either some trick of the light or a different palette than mine, cause yeah mine has normal skin colors on it. haw

and green?

oh snoball, you have a lot to learn about make up

green reduces redness!

yes, by making things look green

by adding green to pink, which makes neutral iirc

see one color wheel

Surm, one of my SILs put something similar in my Christmas stocking (I think it is Smashbox illuminating finishing powder or something like that), and it does seem to do a nice glowy thing without being overtly glittery!

finishing powder. do you put it all over your face? like, it's a finisher for your foundation?
