Title: Girls, you have to buy it! Guys, don't bother looking.
Post by: BEG on April 19, 2010, 09:46:54 PM
The best eyeliner EVAH!

Stila Smudge Pots (I have only tried the black). Use an eyeliner brush that is about 1/4th of an inch wide instead of the pointy kind. I just got it today, I ordered it from Sephora. I tried it out when I got it and i love it. You can "smudge" for a little bit then it sets.

Buy it!

I also bought some other makeup and I'll let you know what I think after I try it.

Hmmmm... I say hmmmmm..... I am very loyal to smashbox, but this looks interesting.  :cheersmate:

I don't know about smudging though, I have to be careful, my eyes are so deepset, I don't want them to completely disappear on me.

OMG, I can't believe I even opened this thread.  I mostly did because I saw that the only two people who posted were my long-time friends. :heart:

Ironically, one of my high school friends on FB tonight was asking for new eyeliner suggestions...since she's been wearing the same for 25 years.

I feel really gay right now....

I love Smashbox powder, and lipgloss.  Do they have really good eyeshadow as well?

I have their brow stuff that I bought when Schade was visiting one time. I didn't like it. I haven't used their eyeshadow.

you don't have to smudge it, just put it on like you usually do. I bought Sephora's brand of foundation called HD (high definition) because it had good reviews. I hope I like it. I also bought a set of brushes plus a foundation brush (and some other makeup). I'll let you know how I like it.

Only oil that you had soaked into tires (Earth Day's coming up, ya know!).

BEG, with a thread title like the one you selected, you knew that some of us would look.  Just out of curiousity's sake.

Naah . . . it's called "intelligence gathering."  As in, "what to dissuade the wife from buying."

BEG- thank you for the tip on the smudge pots.  I have seen those and wondered if they were good. I've used Stila lipgloss before and liked it.  For the ladies reading (or guys, if you are into eye makeup), I bought Laura Mercier's eyeliner that is comparable to this. It can be used wet or dry.  It's a good product and seems like it will last forever.  I have a brush like BEG mentioned (I think). It's angled and works much better than the pointed one she mentioned (have that one too).  Paula Dorf makes a really good one. I lost it and bought Sephora's version and it's great too.

Cool! I am leery of those because I have shaky hands and always end up looking like a clown unless I go really slow with the eyeliner. I need eyeliner for dummies.... LOL!

You will love it Dixie. It's not like liquid, you can work with it for a bit before it sets. 

The brush I used is the one second from the right, next to the mascara brush (I bought the set shown below).

The smudge pots are wet. I have a powder eyeliner that you can use wet or dry by bare escentuals.  I have an eyeliner brush that came with it that is angled, it is longer than the eyeliner brush (and thiner) than the one I use with the smudge pots.

I'm sorry I disappointed you but I told you men not to look.  Here is a must buy that even guys will like. Ritz "Flipside" pretzel crackers. Yumma. I have only tried the original. They come in cheddar but I read a review where someone said they didn't like the cheddar.

I have not tried the eyeshadow. I like urban decay and stila for shadows. I especially like the name of urban decay colors. I wear "sin" on my eyes and "fetish" on my cheeks....  :evillaugh:

I don't use foundation or eyebrow stuff, use an eyeliner pencil and sponge tips and my finger for eye shadow... I'm soooo old-fashioned.... :thatsright:

I have quiet well-behaved eyebrows...that I add a bit of dye to, when I color my hair. If I put eyebrow stuff on them, I look funny....clown-like.  :(
