Clinique "almost lipstick" in black honey -- this is billed as flattering for all people no matter of colouring, and it's really fantastic.

It is very flattering (but personally I think it could use a touch more pigment). I had problems getting people to try it at Sephora because it looks so dark in the tube!

 

[zombi]

^ I find the pigment pretty buildable, personally, though I admit I initially expected more pigment from it when I tried it. It does look SO dark in the tube though, you're right! Pretty scary for some

Not for me! I never got the chance to play with it enough to see how buildable it is, but I would definitely try that as it feels very nice.

^ I have a black honey gloss and I love it. I agree, it looks scary dark in the tube, but the color is lovely.

[fortworthgal]

^ I *love* the Besame 1930s mascara. Do they still sell it online anywhere? My one local retailer stopped carrying Besame and Julie Hewett, so I can't get them locally anymore.

 

[ThemThereEyes]

Hi Fortworthgal! Yes, I can only get mine online as no local retailers carry it. I get it from the Besame site. It's great because parcels are very carefully put together, shipping is fast, and there is always free shipping with a three item purchase.

Oh and Clarins Beauty Flash balm as a primer. I had forgotten how good this is when one is feeling/looking a bit grotty and haggard.

 

[fortworthgal]

^ I love Beauty Flash Balm, it works great when you're tired and need to perk up.

I also love Max Factor 2000 Calorie, unfortunately I don't think it is sold in the US anymore.

 

[Miss sofia]

I agree. Oh and by the way Happy New Year to you and yours belatedly FWG!

Flash Balm is great as a mask too. I was using the Studio secrets primer, but found it really seperated on my skin and made my foundation look claggy. I did only apply it very sparingly too. Shame as it seemed to do the job for a while.

I have to say 2000 calorie is one of my fave mascaras, for the pricepoint. Most of the other cheaper brands really clump on me, as i have long, spindly lashes sadly.

 

[ThemThereEyes]

Beauty Balm is great! I like it as a mask, but haven't tried mixing it with my foundation yet. I'll have to try it soon as it's supposed to make long wear of your foundation.

Today, working again. Complexion is the same as my prior posts.

Eyes:

MAC Saddle brows
UD Primer Potion
UD 24/7 eye shadow stick in Sin on lid + Too Faced eye shadow Kiss the Bride (also up over entire crease)
Stila Dune on brow bone
Makeup Forever eyeliner 10
Besame 1930s Mascara

Lips:

Revlon ColorStay pencil Red
Besame Classic Color lipstick Cherry Red

 

[Miss sofia]

I haven't tried mixing it with foundation. I tend to just apply a layer and then quickly apply my foundation. Works a treat.
