    Max Factor pancake foundations 101 (MAC NW15-20) x 2

    I have two of these. I swatched one with a damp sponge, the other is new. This is the classic water activated powder-foundation that dries lighter on the skin. The finish is lovely, very velvety, so no need for setting powder. Unfortunatly the shade is too dark for me- as I am NW10. I paid...

    Dita Von Teese

    I've heard this but I have never had a problem with it- quite the opposite. My hair seems to work well with silicones such as pantene and frizz ease (Morroccan oil is another prodcut which has a tonne of silicones) so I guess it depends on your hair- BUT my skin hates it- I can't use silicone...

    Finding the Palest Foundation

    After trying MACs new Matchmaster foundation, which is supposed to be a good match for NC10 skin, I found it a touch too yellow for my NW10 skin. I have just placed an order for Dainty Doll foundation and concealer (a range made for pale girls)- so I'll let you know how it is when it arrives.

    Dita Von Teese

    Miss Sofia & Paul Did says she gets sent bottles of expensive shampoos & conditioners but none of them beat pantene! She also likes Aveda and Bumble & Bumble products. She has slightly naturally wavy hair and she uses various black dyes to colour her hair :Revlon High Dimension 10 Minute...

    What to do about freckles and blood vessels

    I've got hyperpigmentation on the top of my cheekbones that can look like black eyes sometimes. I got it from using Glycolic acid porducts, even with SPF 50 and the concentrated sunlight shining though my glasses. I had my eyes lazored and that has stopped it getting worse. I 've had great luck...

    MAC Make-up in particular

    Hi C-dot. Thanks for your replies. I do indeed have grey eyes, dark-grey. I think of them as the colour of a wet pavement! I have tried both Hepcat and Vibrant grape but the pink in them seemed to clash with my skin- bluer shades like parfait amour and Purple haze seemed to work better. I...

    MAC Make-up in particular

    Thanks for replying gals! I currently have 10 MAC e/s 15pan palette' and 3 6pan blush palettes- it's getting quite a pain hauling out the palettes (mostly the e/s) for one shade out of each (I currebtly favour my neutrals, taupe browns and berry browns)- so i was thinking of just going with...

    MAC Make-up in particular

    Hi I'm thinking of downsizing my kit and I was hoping that I could get some suggestions from the lovely ladies here, as to which MAC shadows are particularly vintage-appropriate (good for recreating the look) and deserve a place in my palette. I'd also be grateful to hear which MAC...

    'Hair flashes' from 1955 - just shows you nothing is new!

    I have clip in streaks in each colour (red, white, blue, green, purple, pink), they are by 'Stargazer'. I have received so many compliments on them. I just wear one streak , near the front, in a co-ordinating colour with my outfit. They are clip-in so I lift up a section of hair and clip it in...

    What?, no haircut for me!

    I stopped cutting my hair for about 3 years during university- i just never got round to trimming it (I used to use a leave in condistioner and serum on it, and never blow-dried it so it was in good condition) It wasn't till I saw some photos that I realised it had actually reached waist length...

    What to do with collections you've no room for?

    The SO old house was one of those homes with boxes stacked all round floor to ceiling thier house- it's hard trying to make him understand that it's not usual. He's still got loads stacked in 'his' (the spare) room which he still refuses to unpack yet- tsch! Who are the biggest hoaders?-...

    What to do with collections you've no room for?

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I will sit down and have a long a talk with him this week. I didn't mention in my post that I am quite minimalist (my only collections are make-up, corsets and shoes which have minimal storage) and I had a massive purge before he moved in to make room for...

    What to do with collections you've no room for?

    Looking for advice as to where to dispose of unwanted collections (not ebay) My SO moved in with me last year. He gave up his house to do it and of course it involved getting rid of most of his furnitiure (including favourite vintage peices- some had to be broken up to be removed) as we...

    Dita Von Teese

    Funny, she insists she does her own hair & make-up yet we have interviews with people who do her hair & make-up and photos of her getting it done. Actually, in the early days she did do it herself- she's pretty open and honest so she probably owns up to letting the proffesionals do it now- I...

    Lipcote flaked off on me too :( It also stung a little bit on application, which I hear is quite common.
