Comparing multiple primers/blushers/etc - without buying lots of different ones.

[Trills]

I have a friend who is a bit of a makeup junkie.

She's started to feel guilty about buying gazillions of blushers/primers/whatever that she buys.

So she's started a Facebook group to discuss makeup, and is posting "here are 4 primers that I bought and this is which is the best".

It's certainly cheaper than buying and comparing myself.

I'm allowed to link if it's not "mine", right?

[Baies]

Yes! Yes I think you are allowed.

And it's a fantastic group isn't it?

[DonkeyOaty]

Oooh interesting, thanks for the link Trilly

[Baies]

Wow!

[JointheJoyride]

I've just joined

[southeastastra]

well no offence but they have to look as it they actually lilke the productxs

[southeastastra]

will stick to makeupalley

[Trills]

It's a bit overexcited in there at the moment because it's new, I expect it will calm down after a few days :o

I've shared on my FB as well for all my RL friends.

I figure the more people there, the better the recommendations will be.

[Baies]

Hopefully you'll love it Joy!

But umm bear with me because it's only 24 hours old. I can only ramble so much

[gaggiagirl]

Just joined! Yaaaaaay! Thanks for the speedy acceptance!

[Baies]

Ah thanks for joining. Hope you like it. It's fun and informative so far... I just needed more product junkies and well, here you are!

[suze28]

I've just joined too! Quick question though - moat groups are closed. Is there any specific reason why this is open? I'm not sure how I feel about all on my fb seeing my makeup /double cleansing obsessions on their feed!

[Baies]

Hmm I've not thought about that? I think I made it public so that people could see it and join? ( err did I mention I was a technophobe? Good job I know about make up! ) is that not the case?

I can close it if it doesn't make any difference

[suze28]

Maybe post in the group and see what the consensus is?
If you did close the group people could still search, read the description and then request to join.

[Baies]

I've closed it. You're right, it didn't need to be public. Not that your double cleansing method wouldn't be of great interest to all your friends and family, of course

[Cocolepew]

Quickest add ever!

[suze28]

I doubt half of them have heard of CH and double cleansing. My sister is still using make up wipes. Shock horror! I soon advised her to sort herself out

[Baies]

I've typed the words ' DONT USE WIPES ' about seven times today

[TheySayIamparanoid]

I joined too, am now going to spend far too long on the perfume links!

[Baies]

Ah, I've tasked a friend with the perfume stuff and there will hopefully be a perfume swap shop in the near future. I own eleventy million bottles of the stuff but my friend is definitely the expert when it comes to notes and bases and where to buy unusual scents

[Baies]

And thanks a million for joining. I appreciate it

[downgraded]

Perfume swap shop?!?!?!

You had me at "hopefully" :)

But I'm just placemarking for now as work have blocked fb...

[Baies]

Really? What sort of a workplace is THAT?!

I like the idea of a perfume swap shop. My friend is very knowledgeable about all,things scent ( I'm not, I just own lots of it ) so we are going to chat and set something up. After all, who doesn't like getting stuff in the post?

[IPokeBadgers]

I've joined too....I love make-up!

[Baies]

Ooh thanks ipoke! Hope you love it.

A school Baies. Frankly I'm just glad I can get MN :)


I've just started getting into perfume, and love the idea of swapping some of my mistakes for my Next Big Thing....
