I need to try that Revlon liner when my Mirabella runs out. I got this one in my Glam bag and love it, but would love to find a drugstore equivalent when I need to replace it.

I LOVE this liner. It's so easy to use, and you can make a thin line or real thick. It's also easy to wing it out, which is what I usually do. It also stays put all day, and doesn't budge until I take it off, but comes off very easily.

natablue - What do you think of SK Tinted Moisturizer? What's the finish like? Coverage?

I really like it. I've been using it at least 5-6 days a week for probably about four months, and I'm just now finishing the tube. For me, the coverage is good; I just need it to even out my skin tone (I have a bit of redness in some areas). It's buildable where I need a little more coverage. The blends easily, I normally use my fingers but I've also used my Sigma F82 brush and that works fine as well. I set it with my MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural, and it stays put just fine, but I don't have terribly oily skin, so I'm not sure how well it stays put on other skin types. The finish isn't dewy, but isn't matte either. The powder I use does give it a little more of a matte look, but even if I don't use the powder it gives me a natural look. I've had people compliment my skin, not knowing I'm wearing any makeup at all, which is good!

I like this more than the Clinique moisture tint I've used previously. I've also used Laura Mercier, and for me, this is a much more affordable alternative. I found the texture and coverage to be about the same, in my case.

Cab, what kind of foundation do you use? And I always LOVE your eye makeup.. I wish I could do mine that well!

Thank you, thank you - that's exactly what I needed to hear!

Love this lipstick on you!

[ralphlauren]

Natablue. You are very pretty. I love your natural looking makeup

[msamyfarrahfowler]

Natablue, your hair is beyond gorgeous. What's your secret?!?!?!

[natablue]

Oh my gosh you guys are making be blush.

Harley - I am in love with the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stains. The one in that pic is Lovesick.. I just picked up Sweetheart last night, and now I'm up to four of them!

ralphlauren - Thank you! I tend to wear the same type of look every day, but change it up slightly. For work, I almost always wear shadows from my Naked 1 or 2 palette (I often mix them up).

msamyfarrahfowler - You're too nice! My hair color is natural, I don't color my hair at all. On this particular day my hair in the front wouldn't stay out of my face so I just curled the front sections slightly with my Hot Tools curling iron. I normally straighten my hair during the week, and wear it "natural" on the weekends - I put in a little mousse and let it air dry; my hair is naturally very wavy. I also only wash it about 3 times a week.
