I feel like anyone who would be interested in this knows already, but in case you don't, Urban Decay is releasing a Game of Thrones collection this month! The general information page on Temptalia is here, and Christine's ranking and links to all of her reviews are here, plus there are swatches all on one page here. Though people were right when they were joking about the palette being another bronze-y eyeshadow palette before photos were released lol |

Jumping off from the last post, so I got the Naked Heat palette awhile ago when Sephora had the one-day early release for it, but I've been interested in getting one of the regular Naked palettes for years now, but I'm not sure which one? I'm trying to decide between Naked 1 or Naked 2 (Naked 3 is pretty, but wouldn't work for my warm, possibly olive skintone), but they look really similar to me, so I'm not sure which one is better? I heard Naked 1 is warmer than Naked 2, but yeah, idk.
What about the smaller Naked Basics palettes? Are those better value if you don't wear eyeshadow that often anyway? |

Can anyone recommend a good, moisturizing lipstick along the lines of Revlon lip butter? It's the only thing I've found that isn't too drying for everyday use, but it looks like they're discontinuing it and I am so sad. I don't need a strong color payoff, so I'd def consider products that are considered tinted lip balm or whatever as opposed to lipstick -- I just want a moderate amount of color and a lot of moisture. I don't trust products that are marketed as moisturizing bc more often than not they dry me out anyway! Help please! |

Hello everyone! I've been a long time lurker and I thiiink this is my first post. Anyway, I'm after tips on how to conceal dark circles. I have Ooh La Lift from Benefit, which I use sometime, but idk, I feel like there's something about it that draws attention to my undereye area? And EyeCon is great for when I'm wearing BB cream and not much else, but if I layer eye shadow on top, it's settled into the cracks within two hours or so.
A tip of my own that one of my colleagues in Singapore got me onto: if your eyes are looking a little puffy and red, layer either a translucent gold or silver glitter eyeliner (I use Fantasy from Lush) over the top of your regular brown or black. It's a lot more subtle than you'd think and makes me look as though I've got 8 hours of sleep instead of just 4 or 5. |

Hi friends! I was wondering if anyone would be interested in purchasing one of the Urban Decay Naked Flushed bronzer/highlighter/blush compacts in "Streak"? (ULTA has a listing for it here for more information.) It's brand new; it's only opened due to me opening it and going "awwww man that is wayyy too peach to work with my complexion." The little plastic sheet thing is even still covering the mirror (which is why that looks a bit cloudy in the pic). I really don't want for it to go to waste because it IS gorgeous; it's just personally a color combo that doesn't work for my super cool-tone vampire complexion. It retails for $32ish usually and I'd be happy to go for $20. (with the shipping included in that.) Pictures are under the cut!

| when you accidentally buy two bronzers :| |
[22nd Jul. 2016 • 20:28] |
So I accidentally bought two of the same bronzer & completely forgot to return the other one, sigh. Would anybody like to take it off my hands? It's the Too Faced Sweethearts Baked Bronzer in Sweet Tea. I have not even taken it out of the box yet, so it is brand-spankin' new!
Personally speaking, I've been using the one I'm keeping nearly every day, and I find it really comparable to the Hourglass Ambient Lighting bronzer in luminous bronze light (which is amazing but also really really expensive ha ha ha). The Too Faced bronzer has two shades but I typically just swirl my brush in there when using it, and it's really nice & pigmented -- but nothing too crazy, tbh I have a bit of a tan going on atm (NC30-35ish) and I do have to layer it a bit to get it to show up. The shimmer is not really noticeable, it's more of a pseudo-"glow" to bring a little life to your cheeks. I personally love bronzer in the summer so this is perfectly in season for my fellow Northern hemisphere peeps.
I'm hoping to let this go for $30USD (which is the selling price) and I'll eat the price on shipping and tax if it's in the US, but might ask for help on shipping if going out of the country. If you would like to do your gal a favor (and please do), just let me know! I thought I'd ask here first instead of running to Reddit right away. |

I'm not sure who else follows Urban Decay for make-up brands, but just as a heads-up, their Revolution lipsticks (including the sheer and matte lines) are half-price now! Apparently, they're changing the packaging, hence getting rid of the current stock. I know for sure the sale is going on at Sephora in both the US and Canada (but a lot of colours are out of stock already), and I think other American stores like Ulta are doing the same.
So far, I got Anarchy, F-Bomb, and Venom from the main line, and Sheer Ladyflower and Sheer Slowburn, but I might go back and get more later. |

WARNING: This post is going to be very vague. Basically I am wondering - what is the deal with makeup??? I have recently taken an interest in putting some more effort into my appearance, since I currently do the least. However, I generally look pretty good with just eyeliner and mascara (#brag), so just imagine how great I could look if I took an extra 10 minutes in the morning to do something interesting with my face!
My dilemma is multi-faceted: I am a crunchy hippie about what I put on my body, I am mostly low-maintenance, I am mostly broke, but I want to look fierce. Where do I go from here?? How do I get started? Do good eco-friendly brands that won't break the bank exist? Are lines specifically tailored to darker-skinned/~ethnic~ women more "worth it"? Can I wear red lipstick without looking like a clown? AM I TOO OLD FOR GLITTER EYESHADOW?
Help me, o makeup experts! I am looking for general advice on how to begin my foray into the world of cosmetics, but any specific tips and tricks would be helpful. I like to wear bright, bold colors and patterns so I am thinking I should take a more subtle/darker approach to my face so that I don't look completely ridiculous. It is winter so I am about two shades darker than a cardboard box. I am iffy about foundation. My skincare needs are very minimal. THANKS IN ADVANCE. |

So Target is closing down and leaving Canada soon, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for make-up from elf, Sonia Kashuk, and Pixi! We don't really have any of those three brands in Canada, so I'm trying to get anything I can now before it's gone (though shelves are pretty empty already as of yesterday when I went) and I'd have to order online, which I'd like to avoid if possible. Aside from cosmetics, I'd also love recommendations for any make-up brushes, as I don't really have any and I heard they're decent for drugstore brands. Thanks! |

| a haul post! |
[20th Jun. 2014 • 16:12] |
i recently ordered a bunch of stuff on recommendation of a few friends & boredom, so here's my haul. mostly asian beauty products (seriously, i made the switch a few months ago & my skin has never been clearer/prettier!!! plus super-soft, super-moisturized, i have a somewhat even skin tone and no gross flakes on my forehead and in between my eyebrows for the first time ever? WOW, i will probably make a post detailing my regime in pursuit of Perfect Skin especially because i have sensitive skin so i have had a lot of mishaps [looking at you, black soap that burned my cheeks off]) & some other things, but i don't know. maybe someone has some input here.
( cut for big pictures. )
super excited to use these, negl.
i've also been looking at etsy as a new place to buy cosmetics too! do you guys have any favorite etsy shops i should definitely check out? or "indie" cosmetics/skincare shops in general, ha ha ha, i really just typed that. |

| groom thyself. |
[11th May. 2014 • 01:48] |
I've been itching to make a post like this ever since I saw one on Jezebel. So, what I wanna know is: what are your favorite grooming products? Whether it's for your face, your body, your nails, or your hair, what are your vanity drawer's most valuable players? Anything from high-end cosmetics to homemade concoctions to creative usages of old standbys fair game. If it really, really works — and you'd never dare to go on vacation without it — I wanna know what it is.
Please fill out the following (and feel free to leave some lines blank if it's not applicable or you're not sure):
What is it?
How much does it cost? How long does it last you?
Why do you love it?
Who would you recommend it to?

Can we talk about makeup, specifically makeup for your lips? I'm a baby when it comes to makeup but I want to make my lips colorful! So like, lipstick? Lip stain? What do you use? Why do you like it? How do you pick the right color for your skin tone? Tell me everything! |

HELLO, PEOPLE OF ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) treatyoselves. I have a favor to ask. I'm the kind of person who, once I decide I need something, will stalk all of my favorite stores with obsessive fervor for weeks until the item I like (should I find one) goes for an acceptable sale price. The problem is, sometimes the item is so specific (in my case, I need a classy-lookin' black mini backpack, because BACKPACKS ARE AMAZING and I REFUSE to go back to handbags) that I have to broaden my search. But where to begin?? Well, instead of wading through paid endorsements on fashion blogs, I figured I'd just ask you guys.
What are your favorite online apparel, accessory, and cosmetics shops? We could compile a MASTERLIST, wouldn't that be cool?? If you could fill out the following for each of your submissions, I'd be much obliged:
