Thank you for the compliment! :) I do love to make up my eyes; but I am NEVER posting that picture again. :lmao:

I picked up some monistat today. I finally found it at Target so tomorrow I'll be doing an experiment. Half my face with monistat and the other half with my regular primer and I'll check out the difference throughout the day.

Clever experiment! Another fun story of Monistat to look forward to. These Monistat people are probably thanking their lucky stars that someone figured this out!

Or else they are sitting in a boardroom somewhere scratching their heads trying to figure out what could have caused a sudden increase in chafing problems this week.

OMG, that was you? The mascara lady. Why wouldn't you post your picture? You are drop dead gorgeous!!! If I looked half as good as you, I'd have my picture plastered everywhere. :laughing:
 
Ladies, I went to Kroeger this afternoon and there were 2 bottles left on the shelf. I bought them both and am mailing one to my sister, she thinks I am nuts!!

I have read almost all the post here and checked out makeup alley as well.
I have one question, what drugstore mascara do you prefer? Any thoughts, I do not have difficult lashes just sort of regular.
Hi Kim! I see you are an Atlanta chick too.
 

:worship: I am really loving this thread. I normally just lurk, been posting some on the AI thread and found this gem. I must say I feel like I am being taught by the goddesses of makeup and hair here.

As a teen and young adult I would not even leave the house (or even go to the pool) without makeup. But the older I got, the less I wore because something must happen with you skin when you get older and I couldn't stand to wear foundation. It made my skin crawl. Then a couple of years ago I found BE and have gradually gotten back into the makeup thing. :love:

A couple of questions - I have read just about this entire thread the last couple of days and need some more help/guidance -

1) Mascara - I have not worn it in years because all it ever does is make my eye lashes clump together and stick straight out (even with a curler). Would this Lash Injection stuff help me? Were can I buy it? I don't have a Ulta or Sephora near me - just Macy's and Belk.

2) Eye liner - tried BE with the wear ever and while I like it, I'm not loving the time it takes to mix every morning. I like that I don't have any eye liner "circle" under my eye at the end of the day, but if you don't get it mixed just right you have it flaking or you have to layer it to get it dark enough and not watery looking. What do you all recommend?

3) I like the Prime Time from BE. Don't love the price. Anyone know if the monistat stuff is similar in that it won't irritate my skin? I'm willing to try it.

4) The only thing I don't like about the BE is under my eyes it starts to look cakey and dry looking. I want to have more dewey look there, but don't know what to use. I do have pretty dark circles, which the well rested and foundation cover pretty well, just makes it dry looking.

5) Has anyone else tried Beauty Control skin cleanser lines? I just got some and have only used them once and would love some opinions.

Question 1 Check out the Lash Injection on Beauty Crunch. The Plastic kit is only 15 and you get the filler and lip plumper too. www.beautycrunch.com
Question 3. YES! It is just like Prime Time and Smashbox Photo Finish I have both.\\

I do not know if these question were answered later in the thread.I tend to answer as I go along.

Hi Kim! I see you are an Atlanta chick too.

It does not come in a bottle it comes in a tube as far as I know. If I am not mistaken you got the lubricant. Double check and see if it says powder gel.

I agree and I still have my subscription to that thread. I am reminded of someone when I look at your picture, but I can't figure out who. I'm thinking it is reminding me of a movie or something. Beautiful! The negative comments you got before were not from the makeup wearing crowd! In fact if they new about the Monistat face I think they would want to find us all and have us commited!
 
Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!! How do I return 2 bottle of lubricant, I just can't

OMG!! This is so me! That's why I keep asking all kinds of questions about it before I go get it. Check one page back, it shows a picture of it in someone's post. Thanks for that picture BTW.

I find people who do not where makeup just don't get it. It just makes you look much more polished when you take the time to look your best.
 
Alright I just had to stick my nose in here because I saw Cat's post about Monistat on Facebook.

WTH!!! My questions -- what does it feel like on your face? Personally, I prefer to only wear a moisturizer and blush. Sometimes I wear a mineral foundation. I just hate the feel of a lot of gunk on my face.

Also, can you wear it alone without the foundation? Will it make your face look smoother?

I like the look of it before I put on my make up also. It gives you kind of a flawless look if you have even toned skin,but I have slight rosacia(sp) so I like to use a foundation.
 
I am loving this stuff :cloud9:

but I still get eye shadow crease but I think that I may not put enough on my eye lids. I will try it again tomorrow.

thanks you everyone for all the tips I am getting.

I converted a non make up wearer today :rotfl:

she got a sample kit from EM.
 
Thank you BeattyFamily for finding this:

I'm going to have to go out tonight and pick up those other 2 CVS tubes. This is spreading like wildfire. :lmao:

CR,

I noticed one of the minimal downsides was there was no sun screen in it. Why is that a big deal? If you wear it with a moisturizer with suncreen and a foundation with sunscreen then that negates this negative also! I do not think there are any down sides to this stuff except that it will be sold out in a jiffy. I WISH I had bought stock in this product.
 
Thanks for the link! I just ordered my sampe - and they do ship to Canada :thumbsup2




I use Cetaphil to wash my face as well (I have very sensitive skin and a bit of rosacea and this is perfect for me!).



My favorite perfume is Nina (Nina Ricci). It smells like candy apple :love:


YOu can exfoliate with baking soda and Cetaphil. Works great
 
Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!! How do I return 2 bottle of lubricant, I just can't

Tell them when you return it that you decieded to give up your night job and so you will no longer need it. :rotfl: :rotfl: OMG I HOPE you get a woman. I know when I used to work in a grocery store in college we ALWAYS talked about the people who bought KY and we used to laugh at them. There was this old man who used to buy TWO tubes a week. I mean he must have been 8o and we did not want to speculate what he did with it.

Pat it on your lid but make sure you get the whole thing or your eyeshadow will look different on the spots where you missed.
 
I was out this evening, so I stopped into Target. My 13 year old son went to look at video games, while I shopped for "girl stuff". I found the Monistat right away. They actually have "Monistat..." on one of their aisle markers. They had 2 packages left of the powder gel, so I picked one up. (Not on sale at our Target.) Yesterday I got my 2 Too Faced Fantastic Plastic sets, so I have the 'wrinkle injection' from those to comare it with. I'm afraid to try the 'lip injection' on a work day. I think I'll wait until the weekend for that. I got some Duwop Lip Venom glosses, which give me a little tingle, but no noticable plumping. I like the colors, though, so it's all good.

Today I got an Ulta "Spring Beauty Event" flyer in the mail. It starts on Saturday. They have some interesting sets in there. There's a Too Faced Red Carpet Survival Kit, which has Lip Injection, Lava Gloss eyeliner (a pencil), "World Famous Lash Injection Mascara", Starry Eyed Liquid Eyeliner, Shadow Insurance Eye Primer, and Totally Toasted eye shadow duo. It might just be the angle, but the Lash Injection looks more squat than the regular size, so it might be a small size. It says it's an $80 value for $29.50 - only at Ulta. There's a Stila set, too. It has finishing powder, 2 eye shadows, lipcolor, and mascara. $106 value for $35. There's lots of other stuff, too. Maybe it will be shown on their website starting on Saturday.

They're also having "in store events" with Stila, Too Faced, and Urban Decay. I just noticed a bunch more, too.

Well, I thought your picture was beautiful. I'm trying to duplicate your lashes.

Hi Kim! I see you are an Atlanta chick too.

I was using L'Oreal double extend before I picked up the Lash Injection, it's 8-10 dollars. The tube is red and white. It has two sides, a white side with a white base coat, and a black side. Sometimes, if I remember, I use the base before I put on Lash Injection. I like it because it forms little tubes around your eyes. The most important quality in a mascara for me is that it not give me "panda eyes". After that, all I ask for is full, fat, thick, long, defined eyelashes. Is that asking too much? princess:

I hate ULTA and do not go there. The manager is a straight guy who has NO IDEA about make up and is not very accomodating and the girls who work there while nice are NOT people whose make up or look I want to emulate unlike the salespeople at Sephora. That being said if they had some fantastic sale I would swollow my pride and go back but as yet the sales on Beauty Crunch trumph ULTA.:confused3
 
Ok I cannot find the Monistat. I tried three stores in my town. There is one more place I can try tomorrow. I'm looking by the regular Monistat, the condoms and KY, and other feminine products. Where else should I be looking?

I think either people in Western Washington already know about this and it is sold out, or people in Western Washington do not have a chafing problem so they don't even sell it here.
