mamasmarket2 says "I love this pigment and Beauty Budget has it for cheap" about MAC Reflects Red Glitter

mamasmarket2 — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 21:33:37 GMT

I was so surprised that this mac pigment was so easy to use. And it just take a little bit. A whole Mac cosmetic pigment jar lasts me for 6 months. I can layer it for drama or wear lightly for a soft sweet look! Whats even better is that I found this discount mac makeup item at beautybudget dot net for half the price of the mall store! They also carry other brands!...

ppark77562 says "All philosophy must-have samples at a Great Price" about Philosophy Brand Cosmetics Line

ppark77562 — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 20:53:26 GMT

I got the Philosophy Birthday girl bag for my birthday present and I love it. Set includes a 2 oz Purity Made Simple, 5 oz Kiss me Red, 1 oz Time on Your Hands, 2 oz Amazing Grace Bath & Shower Gel, and a 1 oz Soul Owner, packaged in a chic white vinyl tote.

I found most of the products I loved. The lipgloss is just GREAT, the Amazing grace bath & shower gel smells really fresh, and Purity facial cleanser works well. However, hand & foot lotion is somewhat thick and smells Fishy(?), just weird..

Overall I loved all of the products. Great products at a great price!

AmyA says "This year I will be a Winter Wisconsin Vampire with Fun World" about Fun world Ice FX winter vampire kit - makup

AmyA — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 01:22:58 GMT

Oh what more fun then Halloween and dressing up. Most don't like to try and get wild because of the fear of making a boo-boo. Oh, Pooh on that and lets have some fun.

There are many Halloween types of make up kits that can turn you from plain Jane/Joe, into your alter ego, something you are afraid of, a hero or just some think that is out of this world. It's not hard, you don't need a make-up background you just need a simple kit and if you look on the back they have wonderful, simple to follow directions and your imagination. For those that know me my imagination scares people (ha-ha). Your not going to look just like the package picture because you have your own face and with this face you will get to play with and go nuts.

Fun World has a great selection of makeup kits to play with and this year I thought I would go as a Wisconsin (where I am from) winter (that we know know we have and let me tell you it gets real cold here) Ice vampire. I will get this look with the Fun World Ice...

AmyA says "Freak your friends & family out this Haloween with Horror Flesh" about Living Nightmare Horror flesh makeup

AmyA — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 00:39:48 GMT

Oh how can I tell you how much I love Nightmare Horror flesh make up. OK, I LOVE THIS STUFF!

So easy to apply. Have a rough sponge and dab it onto your face. Let it dry and watch your face crackle, wrinkle, peel, add lumps and cracks all over the place. This horror makeup come in witchy green and ghoulish white.

I have done both the white when I dressed as a ghoul and I had a nice looking ratty wig complete with worms and rats. I had fun that day and surprised at how I scared as many as I did. One lady would keep peeking at me from around the corner at work and when I look at her she would scream and run. I took second place that day and thought I would meet my hubby for lunch and as I was parked in the lot a little girl 12ish was riding her bike and ran right into my truck smashing the grill and the head light and I thought to take out my fake teeth and came up to her saying "hun, hun are you OK?". She took one look at me and backed away. I had to remind her it was Halloween. ...

esperfect says "Worth more than I spent! " about e.l.f. All cosmetics

esperfect — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 04:51:06 GMT

I guess I have been lucky. i have used everything from Cover Girl to Avon to Sephora beauty brands. I have yet to find one product from E.L.F. that I did not like. Their brushes are as good as the set I spent over $100 on. The nail polishes are better than OPI on my nails. I have tried the lip glosses, but I really prefer a firm tube lipstick on my lips. The pressed powder stayed on my face all day, same as the eyeshadows.

I have no complaints with E.L.F., quick shipping with great tracking. I placed an order on the 29th of Sept. received on the 3rd of Oct. Once you shop with them they send great emails with special offers.

kpack says "Melt of stubborn makeup while being kind to your skin" about Lush Ultrabland

kpack — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 00:08:40 GMT

I received a generous sample of this product and was excited to try this as I have a hard time finding anything that totally removes my mascara. The first few times I used this product, I didn't like it because it felt greasy. Then I figure out I was using far too much and scaled back on the amount. It removes all of my makeup easily, even the most stubborn long wear mascara. I like it almost as much as the MAC Cleansing Oil. I do have to note that I use another cleanser after using this product to remove makeup, but that may not be necessary depending on your skin type....

judgee73 says "If you don't heat it up it doesnt work" about Sally Hansen Eyelash Curler

judgee73 — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 17:22:34 GMT

As for the Sally Hansen Eyelash Curler I bought it because my old curler (brand unknown) broke. In order for a curler to actually curl your lashes it must be heated up. The Sally Hansen Eyelash Curler would heat up alright but the rubber bit fell off after only several times using it. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone who actually wants curled eyelashes....

starrkissed says "Gets even the most stubborn of black eyeliners off in seconds!" about Estee Lauder Gentle Eye Makeup Remover

starrkissed — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 14:09:07 GMT

I picked this up, even though it was a little out of my budget, at the time. This eye makeup remover is fantastic, though. Definitely worth going over my budget! I use a lot of black eyeliner and mascara, yet this makeup remover was able to get it right off without any rubbing. I just take a q-tip and run it over the bottom of my eye and voila! Takes off eyeshadow and mascara very easily with a cotton ball - again, no rubbing needed. I love this stuff. Before this, I was using those makeup remover cloths and there is no way I'm going back!...

Nacs says "very unusual" about BeautiControl Herbal Serenity Show Of Hands

Nacs — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 03:32:13 GMT

I have used Beauty Control Herbal Serenityn Hand wash for a couple of years. I am a florist and my hands take quite a beating and I also have eczema. The sea salt in the wash gently scrubs away the dead skin and settled in dirt ( remember the florist part) on my hands and then when you rinse them and it turns into lotion and mmmm it smells so good................Well what can I say?...

veronicainla says "Summer year round, even if you're stuck in Office Space" about Too Faced Tanning Bed In A Tube

veronicainla — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:51:08 GMT

I first discovered Too Faced's Tanning Bed in a Tube in a gift bag back at LA fashion week spring 07 for the fall collections. Since then, I have been addicted, swearing by it and using it religiously, and getting friends hooked in the process. It's smell is less than many self tanners, and the color is far better, with a light shimmer and gradual color that takes you from pale to perfect in less than a week- no weird orange-ness here. It's not super cheap, but a little goes a long way... try putting it on after a shower when your skin is still moist for a more even application. Good luck!...

Caprig says "Gorgeous Maroon Pigment For Those Who Wished They Had Some" about MAC Heritage Rouge Pigment Powder

Caprig — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 18:35:31 GMT

I began to collect pigment powders a long time ago before the average population even knew what they were for. One of the first recommendations that I received when purchasing pigment powder colors was to buy MAC Maroon. Maroon was very versatile and useful, and many mourned its passing when MAC decided to discontinue it quite a few years ago.

Well, for all of you who missed out on it the first time, IT'S BACK!

WHAT IS PIGMENT POWDER?

Pigment powders are usually very highly pigmented powders which are often mixed with fillers in order to make them into eyeshadows. When you leave out the fillers, you get a much more concentrated color pay off, and in many cases, very lovely texture.

WHAT CAN YOU USE PIGMENT POWDERS FOR?

Depending on the color, of course, pigment powders can be used for all different applications. Pigment powders can be used for:

Eyeshadow
Eyeliner (using a 3 to 1 mix of water & glycerine)
Blush
Nail polish
Lip colors
Face painting
Body makeup
Tinting of foundation

Pigment powders......

claraalston says "The Smells are Divine" about The Body Shop Bath and Body Products

claraalston — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 20:53:46 GMT

Their products are something else. i mean really, can you go anywhere else and smell good products like that? I dont think so! And then. you been in the store? Yes, the experience of the walk in the store-all of the sweet aroma from the lotions, candles, body spray, perfume etc, mixed all together is divine. Go if you haven't been and experience it....

asas22 says "Body Shop Bath and Body is the best" about The Body Shop Bath and Body Products

asas22 — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 05:02:39 GMT

Since i was 12 years old, i have been using bath and body products and now i am 21. Doe last 9 years, i have tried to use other companies products, but somehow i end up falling for bath and body over and over again. I know that we can find body products for cheaper in other places, but there are reasons behind why bath and body is expensive. The smell of bath and body products lasts way longer than the other companies. It also has a lot of different options to pick from. The smell of bath and body is great. The products are I believe that bath and body products rock. You all should try bath and body products....

edetore says "Ugh! Dollar store quality and dollar store prices!" about e.l.f. All cosmetics

edetore — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 04:22:12 GMT

Please, steer clear of E.L.F Cosmetics is you value your skin and appearance!

At $1 a piece you can expect to get what you pay for. I have found better cosmetics in the half-price bin at my local dollar store.

The foundations are tiny, greasy, and last for all of an hour before either rubbing off or melting off of my face...leaving a wake of pimples in it's path of destruction. The eye shadows and powder blushes give uneven coverage at best and are not true to the color on screen. The lip glosses are simply sticky, gooey messes.

I wouldn't even buy these products as play make-up for a child.

cadillacdiva says "philsophy's supernatural foundation is the best there is!" about Philosophy Brand Cosmetics Line

cadillacdiva — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 22:36:23 GMT

hi. i love philosophy's supernatural foundation w/spf 15. its a powder foundation in a jar with a puffy sponge top applicator attached to the top so its easy, one -handed mess free application. its so easy and fast and the colors match my skin tone well even though there are only a few colors they are very forgiving. i use this daily and takes about 20 seconds to apply. its blends itself out because of the applicator so its no fuss. love it!!!...

creative23 says "Soft yet glorious applicater" about Bare Escentuals Full Coverage Kabuki Brush

creative23 — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:43:29 GMT

Excellent brush for excellent coverage. At first when I started using Bare Escentuals, I did not want to spend the extra money on the brushes, but I soon realized how much better the makeup looks with correct application. The brush is so soft and easy to use I couldn't help but purchase it first. A year later, minen is still in new condition and I absolutely love usingit everyday. It is also beneficial to buy the cleaner and clean the brushes every now and then because you don't want to continually using and not cleaning right?
