Girls, you have to buy it! Guys, don't bother looking.
« 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'm going to the strip club. :-)

I thought smudge pots were drums you burned oil in.

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.

I thought smudge pots were drums you burned oil in.

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!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

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.
