monkey I tried that in store, it's a nice compromise between lipstick and gloss

monkeysmama · 06/10/2011 10:47

I have this Laura Mercier smudge brush which I lick dampen and then dip in my BM eyeshadow and apply close to the lash line. It lasts all day just like the other products. Definitely worth looking on eBay for BM eyeshadows.

monkeysmama · 06/10/2011 10:48

Indeed Sarayu. It's really moisturising too which I like.

OhThisIsJustGrape · 06/10/2011 10:53

I am persevering, really hard, with BE but I have ishoooos :( The bisque is leaving orange patches where I'm using it to cover acne scars - I had a proper look at the pot this morning and realised it is the Summer Bisque. Is the ordinary bisque lighter than the summer? I'm using light matte foundation and although the summer bisque doesn't look much darker in the pot it obviously is a different shade. Don't want to order the ordinary bisque incase it's even darker and can't get anywhere to look in real life.

I want to love BE, it really is miles better than the shite I've been trowelling
on for years and my skin is starting to look clearer when I'm not wearing any make up. It's just these blasted scars - I don't really get spots any more but I'm left with some really deep pitted marks that are red/purply in colour and I can't cover them.

Help :(

I did manage to STB before school this morning but I think I need to watch the DVD. It's ok today but I think was better yesterday when I did it in worse light - today I look a bit shiny (maybe not enough on??).

Also I tried the bisque on my under-eye shadows and it's too pink for me - looks like I've put eyeshadow on but in the wrong place (mmm, nice). Debating whether to fork out even more for the Well-rested powder or just keep trying with the smaller brush and the normal powder.

Plus I don't have primer. Am I still allowed to stay on the thread? Grin

meltedchocolate · 06/10/2011 11:05

Haha, hurray, new thread :o

Thanks for the freebie Jodie I am so excited :o

I also had a disaster with it yesterday. CAKE FACE. I am not sure I get what the veil is all about. It doesn't seem to do anything for me

I need to save my pennies for some laser treatment on these veins (you know after 5 years of saving) I wear BE I look nearly normal. I shower and look in the mirror and :( Skin like a 40 - 50 year old (no offence, I wouldn't mind if I wasn't this young)

ggirl · 06/10/2011 11:10

ah thread veins
buggers they are
I had mine zapped..hurt like buggery and they came back..little fuckers.
I would be a stunner without them Wink

ggirl · 06/10/2011 11:11

and if my lookfuckingtantastic kit doesn't arrive today I will be bursting some new thread veins!

alfiemama · 06/10/2011 11:17

BAAAAAAAAA ooooh can I join puleeeeease.
I have in my hand my new shiny (sorry Jodie) Lilylolo samples, tres excited as I only ordered them yesterday. Don't worry though Jodie, I also have a BE sample winging it's way to me.

Now the question is, do I take off ones face and trial it NOW or wait patiently till tomorrow.

I currently use Prestige minerals, which have to say I am quite likey but leaves me slightly shiny mid afternoon. My skin has sooooo improved though since using minerals and ditching the old cement type goo.

Loved the last thread girls, very very funny. Well done on your lovely gifts Jodie, you really deserved them.

brighthair · 06/10/2011 11:18

I have BE on today. Eyes are MAC woodwinked and swimming with black gel flicky liner

Sarayu · 06/10/2011 11:21

brighthair which gel liner? I am on the hunt

I don't want to put my old makeup on today. I WANT MY BE!!!!

meltedchocolate · 06/10/2011 11:23

as would I ggirl Wink I mainly just want rid of the big thick purple ones. The little red ones are hidden well by BE but the purple ones will never leave :(

Sarayu · 06/10/2011 11:24

I have two things to share

  1. eye bright pencil
MadamTwoSwords · 06/10/2011 11:27

Baaaaa

I'm the same sarayu long time shy lurker, yet posted more on the last thread than I have on the whole of MN!

I am today trialling the matte version and the bisque, will report back later of course (with my ebay scarf from another thread)

I have also put a BBH on my xmas list Blush

Sarayu · 06/10/2011 11:30

Hello Madam, feels a little scary doesn't it? I'm tempted by the scarf. Which colour did you buy?

Has anyone else signed up to pinterest yet?

brighthair · 06/10/2011 11:31

Maybelline - I love the brush it comes with

rusmum · 06/10/2011 11:35

al BE 'd up after shower. Feeling better. Will look online for a good blush colour now. I do have a spare pot of warmth if anyone after 1?

alfiemama · 06/10/2011 11:38

Ok, I decided to do a little experiment. So I now have Lilly lolo on one side and Prestige on the other. First impressions are very good. Lovely and soft and I seem to have chosen the correct colour Grin and have to say looks better at the moment than the prestige. Now to see which last's longer. I will do the same when the BE arrives.

MadamTwoSwords · 06/10/2011 11:42

sarayu I got the grey, although think will go for the leopard and purple at the end of the month Blush for a tenner it's rude not to.

I applied for pinterest this morning, just waiting for my invite.

rusmum · 06/10/2011 11:44

Surayu, how long does it take for the invite to come through? I applied a few weeks ago. Looks very useful and addictive. Bit like the last thread.

Sarayu · 06/10/2011 11:53

Have you checked your junk folder? It only took about an hour to come through.

rusmum pinterest!

madam I am tempted by the grey...

Sarayu · 06/10/2011 11:57

Ladies I have to leave now (still in pjs).

alfiemama · 06/10/2011 11:57

Yeah, nothing, will try again. Thanks Sarayu.
