What do I NEED?

Post by Xarata » Fri Jun 27, 2008 9:29 pm

I have decided that after everything that's happened this month -the car being totalled, being stuck in the flood with no power, my laptop's cooling system going out, the food poisoning, the fleas, and household appliances breaking left and right (the oven, the dryer, and the desktop comp) - that I NEED to treat myself. Sooooo what should I buy? Divine and Mesmerize are on my list but what else?!?!?

For reference purposes I HAVE:
-34 lippies- ALL except: ashley, sarrah, decadent, sublime, divine, mesmerize, and fearless
-ALL blushes and bronzers in at least a sample size if not full
-ALL finishers in at least a sample size if not full
-2-3 Jars of Foundation
-3 glow samples: angel, heavenly, and siren
-40 Shadows: Aztec, Bare, Beach Plum, Bewitched, Bittersweet, Boom, Breathe, Caperberry, Cashmere, Charmed, Chocolate Twinkle, Dolce, EuTaupeia, Fawn Pink, Grassroots, Highbeam, Lichen, Lurid, Luxe, Mink, Moonstone, Morel, Moss, Naughty, Ocean, Plush, Quartzite, Sea Grass, Sierra, Silver Lining, Sizzle, Sunlit Bark, Taupetastic, Teakie, Teal Appeal, Teenie Bikini, Terra, Truffle, Vanilla, and Wink
-The Mascara, baby buki, flat top, and 2 UE/S
*I have 2 cream liners (which i loved) but cannot use them b/c my eyes are sensitive to soy (which i'm allergic to but can wear the lippies w/o incident)

Sam,

I see you like your neutrals also. I love Fire and Brimstone, so you might want to consider that duo.

I have a question for you between moss, lichen and grassroots green, which is your favorite and why?

Sam,

With your new job you could use a few of the brighter colors for eyes. I have been amazed at how the color adds quite a 'pick me up' to the day. You are pretty neutral, young, and very cute. You really could carry off any color you fancied, and very well. Check into more of the morphing ones. I definitely think you need Fire and Brimstone, like Hollis suggested. Also, you might want to consider Gasp to go with your Breathe, and I am surprised at how much I really like Poly, myself.

You'll have a lot of fun with Gasp- really fun over black liner, or foiled, or with Breathe.

Grassroots Green is my personal fave- it has some shimmer and is really nice for picking up the tones of green eyes- Between Lichen and Moss- Moss is more blue and maybe a little bit deeper than Lichen which is more on the yellow/more neutral side.

I like Grassroots Green,too. LOVE MOSS ~ it is a *perfect* green liner.

Brimstone=*must have*!!! Have already forgotten if you have Haze (must be the fever, hehe) but if not, grab it.

You made me decide I will wear Sarrah today since no one ever seems to mention it except me!

easily grassroots. it's the truest green of the bunch IMO. Moss is really almost black for me (great liner though) and lichen is nice but not as truly green as grassroots. Grassroots is a perfect, wearable, TRUE green.

hehehe. looks like fire and brimstone and gasp need added to my cart! Thanks gals! :)

Jen- I must admit I've been eyeing poly since its release. It has the same appeal to me as plush and bewitched- they're just so *pretty*. lol
