I was in the mood for a new mascara and got one by Catrice, Lashes to kill.

I would like to get a matte red lippy- something a bit berryish, and warm. Does anyone have any suggestions from drugstore brands?

 

[oh me]

^ maybe

I think it's my crappy eye liner (Victoria's Secret), but it always runs. I was in a play and the bright, hot lights, the running between scenes, and sweat made big black/grey circles/bags under my eyes.

My friend Alisha recommended Boing Eyebright To Go from Ulta.

ulta.com

It's a reasonable price, $12. But does it work?

Can anyone recommend me a good product that'll keep my make-up from running?

(I'm not sure what a product like this is called so I didn't know what to search for!)

^Use waterproof eyeliner instead, I can thoroughly recommend GOSH. I don't know what you need a concealer for though since it's the eyeliner that is the problem

 

[papa_levante]

Can waterproof eyeliner come in a pencil form too?

My friend said there was a difference between crayon and pencil, but showing her my eyeliner she couldn't tell.

 

[melfreya]

^Yep. Avon does one called Supershock gel eyeliner pencil and the Pixiwoo sisters use it a lot on their youtube videos lately
here's an example:

There is no difference.

Beware of the Avon liner if you are wearing contacts though.

 

[melfreya]

^I wear contacts and it's perfectly fine. I was surprised to see the 'my contacts get foggy' comments on the videos. I guess it depends from one person to the other

 

[The_Ida]

My contacts get foggy no matter what I wear on the waterline

 

[melfreya]

^but doesn't it go away, once you blink hard enough for 2-3 times? that does it for me

i just purchased the new l'oreal matte foundation (it looks a bit like maybellines dream mouse foundation) this is the foundation with diane kruger in the ads.

ive used it for 3 weeks everyday and the finish is quite nice.

i usually only purchase drug store makeup when there is a buy-one-get-one-free sale going on.

^ LOVE the BOGO sales. Combine those with a coupon and you can get a lot of loot for very little.

This brush looks OK.

Has anyone tried it? Haven't found any reviews yet, but generally I've been happy with ELF brushes.

 

[TommyGirl]

^Excuse my ignorance, but what is that brush for?

 

[melfreya]

^it makes it easier for applying eyeliner
Ida I just ordered it, I've been searching for the Sonya Kashuk identical one but I can't find it anywhere in Europe. So I ordered this immediately. Can't beat those elf prices!

 

[The_Ida]

I've read good things about their gel liners, and MAC disappointed me big time, so I think I'll order a load of stuff when I can be bothered to actually do it
