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

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?

Yes! Yes I think you are allowed.

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

DonkeyOaty · 28/06/2015 22:34

Oooh interesting, thanks for the link Trilly

Baies · 28/06/2015 22:38

southeastastra · 28/06/2015 22:42

will stick to makeupalley

Trills · 28/06/2015 22:42

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.

Hopefully you'll love it Joy!

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

gaggiagirl · 28/06/2015 23:15

Just joined! Yaaaaaay! Thanks for the speedy acceptance!

Baies · 28/06/2015 23:21

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 · 28/06/2015 23:28

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 · 28/06/2015 23:31

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 · 28/06/2015 23:35

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 · 28/06/2015 23:37

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 Grin

Cocolepew · 28/06/2015 23:39

Quickest add ever! Shock

suze28 · 28/06/2015 23:40

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 Wink

Baies · 28/06/2015 23:59

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

TheySayIamparanoid · 29/06/2015 00:11

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

Baies · 29/06/2015 00:58

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 · 29/06/2015 00:59

And thanks a million for joining. I appreciate it

downgraded · 29/06/2015 08:11

Perfume swap shop?!?!?!

You had me at "hopefully" :)

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

Baies · 29/06/2015 08:13

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 · 29/06/2015 09:48

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

Baies · 29/06/2015 09:57

Ooh thanks ipoke! Hope you love it.

downgraded · 29/06/2015 10:49

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....
