Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yep, primer is a pre-foundation step. It smooths and fills of the little lines and pores to make makeup go on more smoothly, and stay on longer.
Smackbox (heh, funny typo) is my fave, but I have also like Nars. Smashbox has tinted, oil-free and treatment primers, too though. LOVE.
Pink Moon 2005 description: This Lunar blend is soft with phlox, tulip, daffodil, dogwood and muscari, dusted with pink sugar and honey, and a touch of the first strawberries of the season."
Huh, so not peony like I thought. But I layer it with a chocolate scent.
Tresemme has a new dry shampoo out that is FIVE BUCKS and works great. And it's in drugstores.
Yes, primer is it's own step. MAC Prep & Prime SPF 50 is still the best stuff I've found.
I haven't tried the MAC primer, Jilli, but I adore the Strobe Cream. And a tube lasts me....er, working on 4 years? 5? It's a big tube, and you only have to use a little.
A wee touch dabbed on inner corners of eyes and browbones helps me look not dead when I have had crap sleep. And I use it on my decolletage when going out.
Well the Rangers have lost both games I've listened to, so I will not listen to the next game. I was able to rig up my stereo speakers in the front windows, so I weeded for the whole game. Like 20 more gallons.
Now Cowboys and they are playing like shite also. Grrr.
I managed a few more fire ant bites also, but today I had fire ant killer granuales to put out. Die mf fire ants DIE.
Erin, I haven't used the Strobe Cream, but that's because I have a rather astonishing collection of REALLY SHIMMERY powders that I can use for the same effect. (I have to admit, Aromaleigh's "Dazzle" powder from their Twilight set is the best sparkle dust I ever found.)
I used to wear Smashbox Primer. Is primer a category in and of itself?
I almost always wear primer when going out. Love the stuff. Some of the drugstore brands now have primers, but I haven't tried them.
Strobe is more an illuminator than a dazzler, which is why I like it in me old age.
Lancome sold tiny vials of Micropailettes when I worked there in 96, which was the best truly sparkly, not irritating iridescent, silver glitter I have come across. It's discontinued, and I hoarded that vial like it was from Bolivia for almost 10 years. You could safely use it around the eyes, and it was so potent, I used a toothpick to apply it.
Nowadays, I use Origin's Ginger sparkly body powder layered on top of Strobe if I am tarting myself up for a club, but that happens so damned rarely anymore.
See, all of this is why I don't wear makeup. Even reading it is exhausting me!
ION, I knew this woman in college, and boy does she have a weird life. [link]
