I love eye shadows. I never leave the house without it on even if its just a natural skin tone color thats not real noticeable.

Pure Luxe

PL makes mineral makeup and I just love there stuff. Very high in quality and you can get samples for $1 each. The thing is the sample is so huge and it comes in a hard plastic container you hardly have to buy the full size unless you over do with wearing makeup. Its great and they have so many amazing colors.

But eye shadow aside even if you do not where makeup you have to check out the eraser. I love this stuff. Its a gel type substance you can apply to imperfections on the skin that diverts the light away from them making them alot less noticeable. It also smooths out the area and makes it so soft. Its great stuff. This is one of my favorite stores online.

I'm a cosmetics queen, lol. My GF's call me, Madelaine Make-Up Queen of The East.

I don't use colored eye shadow, though. I stick with natural tones around my eyes. Once in a blue moon when I feel in the mood for color, I apply it with pencil concentrated close to the lashes. I am, however, a lipstick girl. Occasionally, for evening wear, I go for dramatic red. But for daily wear, it's usually more natural rosy tones.

I'm always looking for a good concealer. Aren't we all? I like mineral powders, too, and use Jane Iredale's stuff. There's a lot to be said for the benefits of mineral powders. (As long as they leave the talc out of them!) They're non-comedogenic, so they won't clog your pores like regular foundations can.

There's also a product I love called Velvet Face Coat by DHC, a Japanese Company. It must be similar to the Eraser though it doesn't have the light reflecting particles. However, it works great to help hide imperfections by providing a smoother surface for whatever you apply on your skin. I use that or Recovery Serum by Bioelements. The lipids in the Recovery Serum help restore the skin's natural moisture barrier, hydrating the skin and giving it a very smooth feel, so make-up goes on smoother and lasts longer. A little goes a long way, all ya need is a few drops.

Tisha, my question.....is the Eraser at all shimmery on the skin? It sounds amazing and I'd like to try it, but I really dislike anything sparkley/shiny on my face.
Right now I'm using Amazing Cosmetics Concealer. It performs exceptionally well and has been my favorite to date. Only a little bit (pinpoint dots ... ) is need for coverage because it's so highly pigmented. The down side is, it does contain a few less than desirable ingredients that I'd like to get away from. If only it didn't work so well!

Make-up is so subjective and everybody likes something different. Even though most cosmetic vendors will allow you to return anything you don't like, it's great to be able to to order samples before committing to a full size.

Thanks for the link, I think I'll get some samples!

Whataya think...between us, if we collect all the make-up we don't use/don't like...that we have stuffed in drawers ...we should be able to go around the world...what?...maybe two, three times?

So, how are our plans for the bank job shaping up?

No the eraser is not shiny or shimmery at all. You cant even see it once its on.

They have a lot of natural rosy tones in the eye shadow that are not shimmery as well. You just have to dig through all the colors they offer. They carry them in three different spots. Under the picture of the group of eyeshadows she describes them and she will write shimmer next to the ones that are like that. I like the less shimmery colors as well for everyday use but I do have some of the shimmer ones for special occasions.

The color changing ones are really cool

Where did you get this at DHC ? Oh yeah I got my package Thank you so much I love it, it made my day. I gotta call ya later so we can chat about it.

Dont laugh but I am thinking about getting this >>>>> http://www.carolynsfacialfitness.com/

I cant keep sacrificing virgins to stay young looking snort......

My friend at work got it and she didnt tell anyone. We were eating lunch and I noticed her face looked really good so I drilled her until she confessed what she was up to LOL. I thought maybe she got botox or a peel. It really made a difference not only with lifting but with crows feet and stuff. Of course I dont have any of that ROFL but a ounce of prevention bla bla............. LOL

I have a ton of it LOL My sister has us both beat though. I shop at her house before I ever buy anything....makeup, books videos lotions and potions OR anything sold on QVC the homeshopping network or infomercials because she always has it stashed away in a box somewhere in one of her diva closets. She has issues LOL

I am fully ready for the heist

A money saving alternative to Eraser And Velvet Face is Monistat Chafing Relief Powder-Gel, it does exactly the same thing, you'd never know the difference.

That particular product doesn't have the "medicine" in it, lol. And be careful with the Preparation H, make sure to take it off once the desired effects have been achieved, or it can damage your skin.

Told ya there was a surprise in there, lol.


Tisha, you can find Amazing Concealer at Amazon and The Find has a 20% off store wide summer sale going on. Just click on the Shipping/Deals link under the product listing. A Google search will pop up a number of other vendors but the price is the same everywhere. Believe me, I've tried to find it cheaper, lol. It comes in a larger and smaller size but not every place carries the smaller one and I couldn't find sample sizes anywhere.

Giggle snort @ sacrificing virgins! Checked out Luxe & bought like $40 worth of samples ( I had a friend who use to call me Ms.Maybelline). You know the virgins are only going to get duped into giving it away to some schmuck, might as well go for a good cause,LOL!

Dammitall Tisha, don't get me going on yet another addiction !! LOL

Wow $1.00 for each eyeshadow sample is a good deal I like the kaleidoscope ones!
