oh man i feel so bad for all of you that don't have sephora. i LIVE there. but on the upside, you aren't as tempted to buy stuff as much as i am. i'm a VIB for a reason. i usually buy my stuff at a variety of places. i live in NYC and i'm surrounded by so many amazing stores. i live/work within a 10-minute walk to MACpro and MAC flatiron. i have a few buddies at the flatiron store that i always chat with. they're...

Yea...... Not a red cherry issue. Its the site u ordered fromm. Take the purchase up with them, if no resolution go thru paypal they r supposed to have buyer protection

Neutrogena oil free. Soaks right in for me;) Good Luck!

I agree the look it too wild for the parents... I was thinking maybe making it similar colors on the lid and neutral the rest.. So it appears less but still makes the eyes pop... What do you think?

Thanks ladies for the replays! i've been experimenting and so far i like shimmery on the lid with matte in the crease +outer V, a matte highlight but with shimmer in the inner corner of my eye and in the arch of my brow or matte on the lid with shimmer in the crease matte outer V, a matt highlight but with shimmer in the inner corner of my eye and in the arch of my brow......

I completely agree about makeup being just another art medium. I'd thought about taking some color theory classes, but unfortunately they're not offered where I live, that will have to wait till later down the road when I can get out of my the mountains. I suppose for now it'll just have to be trial-and-error, which is okay too, educating yourself sometimes ends up with a larger since of accomplishment. Thanks for your help!

Ok so... I'm on a mission to find GOOD brushes. Obviously everyone wants good brushes... sooo I read that Marlena recommended Sonia Kashuk from Target which is very helpful because i have never used them before... Im looking for brushes that are MAC quality Has anyone ever tried the brushes from Ellebang.com? I just heard about them the other day and has anyone ever used them?? Or maybe has anyone tried Sigma brushes? Or Coastal scents?...

Has anyone tried Ardell's dura lashes? I read on the back of the package that you can put the individuals on and they will last a couple of weeks. Is this true? I would love to wear my demi whispies everyday, but I just don't have the time to apply falsies every morning. I thought maybe doing this would sort of give me the effect I wanted if they would in fact stay on for a while. Any advice or guidance on these lashes, wearing them...

Fake lashes, lash tinting, lash extentions, etc; and what would/do you pay? Thanks

Hi Hattie, Since you are from Austria, you'll get a better deal by ordering from Zoeva in Germany: http://www.zoeva-shop.de/ (and this way you won't have to pay customs! which is expensive, I once paid 11€ for a 32$ CS order!!) These palettes ARE mass-manufactured in China and not the exclusive property of Coastal Scents so the ones you buy from Zoeva or on eBay are actually the same. Try eBay as well as you could find good deals,...
