Re: diy palettes

I did nothing special! But don't use FCO (still haven't got round to getting it, gah) so this was all done with the EZ Prez medium. I must have done in a crazy impulsive moment because it was the GWP, it's such a precious colour and I put the whole thing by itself in one pan (it only just covered th...

Re: diy palettes

The only real matte I've pressed with success is Thistle. It's a little hard but still useable. It's the most recent one I've done so there was a big learning curve... Other (semi) mattes I've pressed are: Earth, Propinquity (these went great! But they're not very matte), Slate, Moonstone (these wen...

Re: Slowed down USPS

I can't even remember what made me come to 'zus' but it seemed very logical at the time :P I've spent half my life in Holland (well, in a couple of months I will have... I counted!) but no Dutch blood, I'm originally from Brazil actually. I'm glad your order arrived but not so glad about the extra c...

Re: Tips for relaxation, meditation & calming

I'm a very stressy person myself and recently went through an incredibly traumatic experience, and as trivial as it sounds, knitting has really been helping me relax. It sounds so silly, but it just involves my mind enough so that it doesn't wander and start fretting and thinking about everything al...

Re: Slowed down USPS

I've had an order go missing (I'm in the NL too btw), so upsetting... but I've also had an order arrive after like 4 weeks! Since I moved to another part of the country it seems that everything arrives much more regularly and properly but it probably isn't related to location. Anyway, I know it's al...

Re: diy palettes

I really don't have the balls to press Propinquity and Fusion. I don't want to mess them up because they're too pretty. Another color which finish (and color!) changed completely is Colt. But I think I dumped too much FCO as it became creamy. Still very nice to smudge along the lash line, but not m...

Re: diy palettes

My Propinquity pressed just fine! Mine is the GWP (so I don't know if the formula is exactly the same as the one in the shop now) and I used EZ Prez, so different variables but it's still as lovely and glowy as as it was loose! Propinquity is not actually an EyeLight though. I haven't pressed any EL...

Re: What SN product are you loving today?

Coy! I read a suggestion here on the forum to try it under lippies if you have pigmented lips and some colours don't show up. It works wonderfully! It also transforms darker or sheerer lippies into new colours. My new fav combination is Coy + Cassis, I wasn't expecting it to work but it actually loo...

Re: LOVE Ion and Catalyst

I just saw some swatches of these two and I see that Catalyst is a bit darker than I first thought. Still really want them though :) I think for me it wouldn't be a crease colour either, definitely a liner and maybe on the outer third if I was daring. Couldn't you maybe decant a little bit of both i...
