Awesome. Love this blog. I can do pin curls and I've done them before. But what I really need is some kind of hair wrap to protect my hair when I sleep. I'm a big fan of overnight hair. I hate to do my hair in the morning.
Buy a satin bonnet. You probably need to look near the ethnic hair care section, but any big box store should sale them.
I'm going on a spending freeze in January would I'm trying to decide if I need anymore makeup before Thursday. I want a dark lip color so I may go to MAC counter to play this week. Does anyone know of any sets that have all dark color lipsticks?
Not a set but I loooove the Bite Aubergine pencil. They have a mini for like $10 or $12. It's perfectly in between purple and berry.
My random is makeup related, and I need all the hair pats I can get, so I'm cping.
Dh ruined at least $75 worth of makeup and skincare because he threw them into a Tupperware container that had water in the bottom. That total will climb steeply if my eyeshadow and blushes don't dry out properly. It was an "accident", but it's because he tends to treat my shit like it doesn't matter. This was after he left pissed off this morning because I misplaced something of his--oh, wait, it was right where he left it, he just didn't bother to pick up his hat and look underneath. SO NOT MY FAULT AFTER ALL.
I've been off my AD for 2 days due to being out of refills/holidays. I see my doc today, so I should get what I need. But the makeup/ad combo means I've been crying for almost an hour and can't turn it off.<br/>

I'm sorry, KA. On the bright side, it sounds like a make up shopping spree is in order now.

Oh that stinks, but the bright side is a well deserved makeup shopping spree!
Here is an I've-Had-Products-For-30-Minutes Review!
Ulta order arrived! It's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
Smashbox On the Rocks - colors are great! I had to go over the swatch twice to build the color for some, but texture is good and colors are really pretty.
Holy shit is this thing pigmented. I compared it to Cabana Boy, which is probably the most pigmented blush I have, in the same color family, and one of my favorites. Well, Cabana Boy looked pale and sad in comparison, which I did not think was possible. I tried applying and I'm going to need some practice because you really need a light hand. But the color is amazeballs. The Temptalia photos do not do it justice. It's so, so pretty.
NYX Wicked Lippies in Power and Wrath. These are going to be fun! Power is probably a metallic marsala, so I feel very 90s in it. Wrath is an amazing, wearable coppery bronze. Love them both. No idea on wear time, but for a few bucks each, I don't care.
heyjude, I got my pixi palette right as I was leaving for work and I have been dying to open it and play with it! What are your most recent thoughts?
ESF, I NEED that blush! But I also need to be cut off from more blushes. And more makeup. That and the laura mercier tight lining stuff is going on my birthday list (April). We will see if that lasts...
Though I do have an Ulta gift card from some returns I did...

I still love it!
The mattes are a little disappointing but the shimmery stuff is great. I'm wearing some of the cool matte browns for a basic eye today and I definitely have better quality shadows elsewhere in my collection. I think I prefer the warm side. And like I said a couple pages ago, the lighter blushes work best with the elf small stipple brush. There's a nice mix of highlighters, from disco to office, and everything in between. I don't even really feel I have scratched the surface of all its potential. All in all, it was $27 well spent. And it was great for traveling over the holidays. I'm very happy. Hope you enjoy it too!

I cracked my pressed powder. Again. It's the 4th or 5th one this year. I think it's time to keep some cheapo NYX stuff in my purse. Or a sample container of the loose setting powder. I already keep a mini brush with me too.
I came home and found my Mary lou-manizer busted all over the bathroom floor. I'm guessing either the kid or the cats knocked it off my vanity. I don't know whether to replace it, forego it, or go ahead and purchase the hourglass palette lol

I always love the look of green and blue shadows, but on me they look garish. My eyes are a light brown/gold color, and I just can't seem to pull off cooler shadow colors, except maybe purple.

Thanks. I'm going to sephora tomorrow and will look for it. I tried to go today but there was no parking so I gave up.
I have no idea how the wear is, but I loved the shadows and blush and highlighter that I put on before bed:) I'm pretty wowed for the price, especially. I think it is worth a lot more than the price, especially with 20 percent off.
But it really was smashed. It fell out of my purse on a hard surface. Goner.
You'd have to google but I believe you mix the powder with some rubbing alcohol in the pan and press it down. Then just let it dry. It's how you take powder shadows to pressed so I bet my newest UD perversion sample it would work.

I've tried this on a couple different brands of cracked shadows. It was kind of hit or miss, but I'd definitely give it a try.
