I am a huge fan of florals in perfume!!
As far as fruity goes, I really like DKNY Green Apple!
I wear Vera Wang Princess everday but my going out perfume is the classic- Chanel No. 5
That cracks me up! I read about that the other day and went out and bought a bottle and have been using it for around a week! It does seem to help some, I just wondered if there was a better foundation out there that soaked up oil, too. I used to use Avon's line softening mousse foundation which feels very light and silky, but I seem to be between shades except in the summer.
Heck yeah!!! Look at this thread!!!
Here is what's on my dressing table now....I tend to change scents with season & event:
Lovely ~ Sarah Jessica Parker
Iris Nobile ~ Aqua di Parma (gold label)
Glamorous ~ Ralph Lauren
Couer de Fleur ~ Miller Harris
L'Instant de Guerlain
Forever & Ever ~ Christian Dior
ENJOY ~ Jean Patou
Celine ~ by Celine (NOT Celine Dion)
Romance ~ Ralph Lauren
All the Philosophy but I really dislike "Falling in Love"....yucky!
Okay best lipgloss in the world...
Philosophy's Big Mouth. It's a lip plumper, it's shiny, not sticky and stays on forever!!
Ummm - have you tried www.everydayminerals.com ? I like them WAY better than Bare Minerals - and theyre cheaper and their color selection is awesome AND you can get a generous free sample to start with for only $4 shipping.
I generally hate all fruity/foody scents, with the exception of citrus-based ones and Pink Sugar.
I am looking for a flat iron....has anyone used a Solano Sapphire?
get Lash Injection. It's waterproof, big time. I cant say enough about this mascara. It takes some getting used to - but then youll love it.
Stays on - so smears or anything - all day at the waterparks (yes, I wear that and lipgloss)
I have a question about eye makeup remover - does anyone have a recommendation for one that:
1) removes mascara quickly and thoroughly,
2) is not oily, and
3) won't equal the cost of my car note?
If I can't have all three things on my wish list, I'll take #s 1 and 2. Three is not mandatory, but would be nice.

LadyGracey, I absolutely love the BOOTS line at Target. They have the No7 Restore & Renew Beauty Serum, which is a fab night time creme.

I was wondering what everyone uses to wash their face with. and what other creams or lotions or anti wrinkle things you use? i used roc one time but I can't find it except to order it but i am bad about that stuff.
Ok, can someone help me with eye shadow primer?
I've never used it. What does it do? Make the shadow last longer?
Who makes the best one?
Thanks!
Urban Decay.....hands down the best I've tried.....I buy it on-line at Sephora.
Thank you. But what does it do? Is it just that your eye shadow lasts longer?
I actually have 2 sparkle eye shadows from Urban Decay and love them.
Primer gives your shadow a good base to adhere to, keeps it from creasing/sliding and keeps the color nice and bright, and it does last longer. I use it even with really good shadows that don't crease on their own, just because it evens the skin tone on my lids and makes the color so much prettier. I have even used the MAC Paints under my shadow and gone swimming, and after being in the water I will still have some shadow on.
I use Cerave cleanser and moisturizer( you can but it at CVS or drugstore.com) It is gentle like Cetaphil but does not leave my face greasy or oily( kind of dewy/matte).

I think it depends on which one you use. All of the ones I've used have stopped creasing, and they help your eyeshadow and liner stay on all day. I'm using Urban Decay Primer Potion right now and it's fine. My shadow does stay on and it doesn't crease, but it doesn't provide the same type of base as MAC Paint. The Paint gives more intense color when you put your shadow on and I think has more staying power. A tiny bit goes a long way.Ok, can someone help me with eye shadow primer?
