Makeup Discussion

Yeah, ou should experiment with different colours of blush Knittin' Kitten - that will warm your face up. Also try brown mascara and eyeliner - this will help you look less goth, if that's not your thing.

I really love the brand bourjois, I think it's really cute and they have different ideas to most brands, the packaging is really clever and pretty too but it's a little out of my price range.

Loreal have a new mascara that you can see from a distance as well as close up which is great but I wonder if it will work :S Bourjois new mascara has long and short bristles, the short puts lots at the roots of your lashes and the long bristles extend your lashes so it looks like your wearing eyeliner on your eyelids!

well Queen, Maybe I will try that Loreal mascara. and tell u how it is

i've ALWAYS had a love for makeup, and would often get those really cheap crappy sets as a kid and experiment..
i don't have them anymore though since i gave them to my little sister [who is now 11], and basically the only makeup i own are a couple of cheap eyeliner pencils. i want to buy some more makeup, that aren't only good in quality but on the cheap side since i'm pretty much broke right now so i can't fish out the money for really expensive products..
i'm also after some good -- yet cheap -- makeup brushes, as i don't have any. i was wondering if anyone here knows any brands that they could recommend to me? i'd be REALLY grateful.
i really miss experimenting with makeup, and have been watching a ton of tutorials out there on the internet but haven't been able to even try them out. +_+

and you have really gorgeous eyelashes, michelle.
i barely have any >.< they've been falling out a lot lately.. i don't know what's wrong with them :s

do you have a bodycare near you video kid? I got two big brushes in there 99p each I think maybe 1.99.

btw you're supposed to get a new mascara every 3 months or so because apparently there's little micro organism (i think thats what they're called) that live on our eyelashes so they collect on the brush and in the tube, you shouldnt keep any make up for longer then 2 years either and wash you brushes in a little shampoo every now and then

i'm not too sure, there's probably one in town somewhere. i'll have to go have a look.

what happens to the mascara though?

and thanks for the tips ^^

it just gets full of ikkyness and that's not very good when you're putting it so close to your eyes! my mum went to this make up thing and the lady cut open a used mascara and put it under a mircoscope and she said it was horrible!

you might be able to get make up brushes from a pound shop too

Edit: also try Superdrug

ohhh, that's actually kind of gross.
what if they purposely infected that used mascara and told your mum that just so that she'd spend more money on mascara every 3 months?
i mean, micro-organisms are pretty much everywhere, you can't really avoid them.

and yeah, my mum told me to go to the pound shop for the brushes but i want the brushes to last and not have bristles falling out everywhere when applying make up. this has happened to me a lot in the past with cheap brush sets i've bought/been given i want cheapish brushes that are at least.. standard? quality...

oh, and i'm thinking about making my own makeup products. eyeshadow especially. miu linked a great website which has a tutorial on how to make your own mineral eyeshadow, and the website even sells all the stuff you need. it's extremely cheap considering the amount of ingredients you get, you can make so much for so little. and you can make your own custom colours, which i think is awesome.

that's a lot of effort to go to to make someone buy mascara lol it's the fact that it's so close to your eyes, kinda need my eyes!

can we talk about perfume as well? my favourite is Anna Sui Secret Wish

I love dolce Gabanna's Slicily....

Perfume discussion is always allowed in my opinion!

I am obsessed with perfume, good quality perfume.
I'd say scent is my best sense and I've always wanted to make my own perfumes XD

I have a few on rotation, depending on the weather, time of day and what I feel like wearing at any particular time:
- Hypnotic Poison by Christian Dior
- Alien by Thierry Mugler
- Arabie by Serge Lutens
- Midnight Poison by Christian Dior
- Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf

and I have a few others floating around that I like to wear sometimes

actualy your name would make a good perfume name Lola Noir...

I should say I love fresh citrus smells and I hate vanilla, because I am allergic to it. I always get sick when some one is wearing vanillia feilds or some cheap perfume like that. I like the body sprays at the body shop too

I used to wear make up every day for work until I left Ireland 5 years ago. Now I wear it only when I go out partying or maybe to the mall. I am very pale and have dyed black hair so I find it hard to get a foundation that suits me, but I did get this great Body Shop powder, it's the perfect shade

I love Borjouis make-up! I love glittery eyeshadows I have a gorgeous black one with silver glitter in and a body shop 4 pot one with pinks and plums with glitter hehe

For work I just wear mascara and eyebrow pencil, as mine are very fair.

My favourite scent is Manifesto from Isabella Rosselini, by far the nicest I have ever had. It's a beautiful citrus scent. I only have a dribble left Stephen can't find it anywhere.
My second fave is Burberry Weekend It's a lovely warm scent. It reminds me of winter and makes me feel snug.

My eyelashes always clump together and on one eye they all go one way together in the opposite direction! stupid lashes
