Does anyone use the Mario Badescu line of facial products? I know this is random but....i wanna know how good it is....

Oh and does anyone know of anywhere to buy OPI polish in bulk for cheap? Not BULK but like... sets that dont cost damn 40 bucks just for 6?

try ebay and amazon for opi sets, i've bought opi polishes from both but never in sets. im almost positive they will be cheaper in those places than anywhere else though

i've never heard of Mario Badescu products but im am in the market for a good eye cream (getting old post). in all realness though? I wash my face with baking soda its awesome

 

[DEE-LICIOUS]

REALLY??? Wow....how do u do that? DO you put it in a bottle and dilute it w/water and use that?
And yea I went on amazon and didnt like the choices...imma go on ebay next though

you make a paste out of it and rub it into your face. let it sit for like a minute or so and wash it off. man..i be havin that "consistent dick in my life" glow. I only use it once a day though because it can be drying especially if your skin is already dry. and you have to wash it off GOOD or you will look like a coke head. I just use cetaphil or some at night now since its winter

im not sure how it works but it does. it's one of those old people beauty regimens

do you find that your lashes get thinner with extensions over time? I might finally try them since im being adventurous right now lol

what brand do you use?

I've only worn falsies for my wedding and my sister put them on for me. I'm not sure if they thin your own out over time. I wanted to get the same kinda look for v-day but i knew she was gonna be out of town. I figured the individual ones would be easier to do so myself. I played with them the other night and I liked the look and feel.

I had to take them off because I did full makeup. "It is not recommended to use mascara if you plan on keeping them on for more than a night".

The brand is Ardell, I got the combo pack at walmart for 8bucks and got a whole package of just the short ones.

hmm. i'm gonna try them. what do you use to take them off?

 

[marie addams]

ooh so i've been makeup haulin ass the past 2 weeks. i found the GOAT cheap lipstick last weekend. well actually i got a couple of cheap lipsticks but this one -my new favorite- is by milani its called "mango mamba" I got it from some bss. The others were the cover girl lip perfection lipsticks, one in "divine" and the other in delight. i got a nars cream blush in cactus flower and one of their shadow duo's in scorching sun. then i got a mac shadow in "orange", and this other shadow called "rule" which the mua actually put on me as a blush..it looks awesome! and way cheaper than buying an actual blush.

I think im pretty much set for spring...I ought to be at least. i'm gonna try to swatch some of these colors later or this weekend

Can someone explain to me why Urban Decay's Naked palette is always
out of stock?Like ALWAYS.Why are they treating it like it's limited edition?
Ulta just got some in a few weeks ago.I went on there website a few days
ago and it was already sold out,AGAIN.I think people are buying a lot on purpose.
If you type in "Urban Decay Naked Palette," on google shopping, people are
saling it for double even TRIPLE the price.This is a $44-$48 palette and people
are trying to sell that sh*t for like $80.I seriously want to write a complaint to
Urban Decay about this.lol I want my damn palette!

I've noticed this too. seems to always be in high demand and idk why? They are definitely under-stocking for increased hype. its like some sort of new cult classic. You should go chat it up with a ud salesperson at a macy's counter and they will for sure call you when more come in stock. in the meantime a cheap dupe palette (to hold you over) that has gotten pretty decent reviews is the nyx "nude on nude" palette. it doesnt have all of the colors included in the naked palette but it has most of the neutral tones

 

[marie addams]

here are swatches of the two.

i'd probably recommend the "nude on nude" palette to newbies who want to experiment with natural looks before branching out. it's 11.99 so if you end up deciding makeup isnt for you after all you haven't wasted any money. I might grab my sister one for her birthday

 

[marie addams]

not really into foundation anymore (since prescriptives closed) but here is one of makeup forever's new untouched hd foundation ads. it looks awesome! I would never have believed it was untouched until i saw the ripple on her arm.
good stuff!

 

[Nthngis4vr]

^^I might try that

I getting some Nars foundation from sephora. I was going to buy online but I'm gonna be pissed if it doesnt look right. I read some reviews from women who said their skin conditioned has improved since using it and I wanna try it.

My skin hasnt been the same since that devil ass depo shot and now I'm trying to get it under control before I hit 30.

 

[marie addams]

my sephora's nars section never has foundation or concealers in my color. I think i'd have to go to one of the counters in nordstrom

 

[Nthngis4vr]

I got a free sample of the nars sheer matte from the shephora in JC Pennys(closest sephhora). It looks and feels pretty good but I think I want a color a pinch darker for the summer.

what color do you wear marie?

 

[marie addams]

I dont know what color foundation I am for nars but the last foundation I bought and loved was Bobbi Brown natural finish in almond 7

Most of the nars sections at sephora's i've been to dont go past...like a tanned beyonce

 

[Nthngis4vr]

lol @ tanned beyonce. I'm like on the borderline. Sometimes my shade is the darkest or it's like 2 shades lighter than me but it's a red undertone. My search for the perfect foundation would have ended a long time ago if photoready revlon colorstay colors were the exact ones as the regular line. (still pissed about that)

I didn't see the Bobbi Brown line at the sephora section i went to yesterday. I'll have to stop by Nordstroms to check it out.

I think sephora only carries the bobbi brown line online. Nordies would be better anyway, they can match you up and are more than happy to give you a decent sized sample to take home for a few days and see if you really like it or how it looks in different lighting. Nordstrom just has the best customer service hands down.

@ Yummy- Sephora has the Urban Decay Naked palettes in stock online fyi

 

[Nthngis4vr]

oh ok. The sephora in Penny's was cool. I asked for a sample and it was bigger than the one I got from MAC.

I have had this Nars foundation on for a few hours now and I think this is the one...I'm gonna get the full size sometime this weekend maybe the powder too.

 

[Nthngis4vr]

Plum Eyeliner is the biz. someone asked me if I had contacts on today. My eyes are the darkest dark brown but this eyeliner makes them look lighter.

what color did you end up getting?

I bought into the hype and checked out that naked palette...then actually BOUGHT the naked palette lol. the colors are actually really beautiful in purpose. I definitely slept on it, gunmetal is my fav of all the colors. I assumed all of the colors were similar to colors I had already had and it wasnt the case. The primer potion and brush that came with it pretty much sold me

nars summer 2011

i'm interested in the gloss and the trio shadow
