    And I like that turquoise NARS has is that eyeliner?

    the description says it's a soft touch shadow pencil. but it looks pretty thin i'm sure it can be used as a liner

    i'm gonna check for that rimmel gloss, i have a few shadows from them but never tried the gloss.

    oh and here's my latest nail color obsession! it's called "gumdrop"

    Nice colors !

    I wanted to use some bold colors for eyeshadow but I don't want to look like a clown. The guy at Sephora keeps asking me to just try it. I may let him play with my eyes and take some pics to show yall



    :)

    WAIT before you let some tangy heavy handed man put make-up on you let him do it on paper or someone else first...cuz SOME men will set you up and mkae you never want to try colors again. My biggest suggestion is to watch youtube videos they have some really nice girls that do make up like SongBirdDiva and LilPumpkin....there are two other girls but I can't think of there name off the top of my head watch them and pick up some techniques....don't be afraid of color girl! You'll look FAB!

    thanks for the tip :)

    I haven't done it yet... it looks pretty on the prints they have but I'm still not sure

    I let a friend of mine do some real dark smokey eyes this weekend on me .... which I really liked.

    so I checked out this tarina tarantino pearl glow primer today..it's beautiful!
    it goes on translucent so it should work for most skin tones. and honestly..it can be worn alone. gives the skin a really pretty glow
    especially in the summer where it may be too hot to wear full on foundation. it has a nice natural looking finish which is shocking to me for tarina tarantino

    I probably would not recommend this to anyone with already oily/glowy skin no need to bring more attention to the shine

    P254900_hero.jpg
    What is it: A two-in-one primer designed to provide a luminous complexion for all skin types.

    Who is it for: Women of all ages.

    Why is it different: The Pearl Glow Primer contains light-reflective properties that help give skin a healthy, luminescent glow. The unique texture is made for all skin types, absorbs quickly with no greasy after-feel, and helps hydrate and smooth in preparation for a flawless makeup application.

    The Pearl Powder ingredient instantly provides a lustrous glow, while helping to smooth the appearance. It contains a unique combination of natural substances and minerals to help leave skin looking and feeling soft and supple. Reflective pigments bounce light away from the face giving a soft-focus diffused glow, leaving skin looking youthful and perfected, and helping to brighten the complexion. Hydresia allows makeup to glide on smoothly and evenly, and is ideal for priming.

    How do I use it: Pump a small amount onto fingertips and apply to cheekbones, forehead, nose, and chin. Follow with Dollskin Powder (sold separately). It can also be mixed with your favorite foundation for a more luminous finish or worn alone to give skin a naturally glowing look.

    You spend $21.50 or more and get this little travel set.

    Comes with face wash, eye make up remover ( which is my fav of theirs ), eye cream, eye shadow, lip glosss, mascara and a make up bag. I like it cause you can try new products without having to buy a big version of it.
