While very thoughtful of your dude, LineCrime is much maligned in the mineral makeup world. They are alleged re-packagers of others' pigments and charge quite a bit. Ive been following a couple of MMU companies for awhile. A super nice one that would be comparable to LimeCrime would be Sugar Pill, if you wanna check out her stuff.

i'd found LimeCrime though Daily Candy (which is a great daily ezine, btw) and i liked her colors, so i put it on my wish list without any further research.

thanks for filling me in, poops. :) i'll check into Sugar Pill.
 
I finally gave the Konad nail art thingy a try, and it's only my first attempt so it turned out a bit shit, but it's still cool!! Can't wait to perfect it :)

Oh.my.god.... this woman^ has the most AMAZING lashes i have ever seen! They are seriously hypnotizing. You wont be able to help yourself from staring at them as they flutter about.... she doesn't need mascara at all! I do want to one day see her lashes with mascara though - Hun, one day i need to see it i reckon your lashes will be out of this world with mascara on!!

Oh and my nails are still bitten down. Boo! I need to come in here more it inspires me to grow them.
 
n3o how does that thing work? Is it like a stencil or a stamp or something? Your nails look awesome! Thats really cool.
 
Thanks hun! Yep it's a nail-art stamp thing, the brand is Konad. You paint the nail polish on to the stencil, press it on to a stamp applicator, then roll it over your nail. It's really cool actually! They've got hundreds of designs, and I bought mine off ebay. If you buy it just make sure you get the scraper and applicator stamp pad as well as the actual image plate, cos the image plates can be sold separately.

hehe :D

Pop and I were out shopping one day and saw a man who had eyebrows that were REALLY thick and long; they hung below his eyes! We came up with the term "Browstache". It kept us laughing for ages! I now have visuals of me with eyelashes down to my nose that i have to comb ;)

have you tried Lime Crime Make-Up? my boyfriend bought me the below eyeshadows for X-Mas last year. seriously amazingly colorful stuff and for night-time use only. i had hoped some of it could go on a little sheer for day-time wear too, but it seems to be more of an all or nothing type of make-up.

I'm a diehard fan of MakeupForever and Urban Decay for my brights. Nars for my darks and shimmeries. :) For solid fucking pigment (like, theatrical grade) I go for Ben Nye or MakeupForever.
 
I just made a recent awesome discovery for super soft feet: Castor Oil. Trust me on this one girls. It's awesome, even better than VCO [which I still slather on myself and ingest as I cannot live without it!]

Just remember castor oil can get on your clothes and sheets so make sure you loll around on old sheets and wearing house clothes while putting it on yourself!
 
Some more nail art experimentation:

I don't like how stark the white turned out over the top of the green and pink. I put the green on first and it was really subtle, I was thinking of just leaving it at that and I should've! Still learning though :)
 
i agree with r*n*r, that's sick like that. makes the green look distant and like inside your fingertips. sweet!
 
Thanks everyone!! <3

Yeah, the Konad stamp thingies are so much fun! I can't wait to get some different plates so I can mix and match a bit more :)
 
Had to pop in real quick-like with this:

I counted all of my nail polishes on Saturday. I thought I had maybe a hundred. Maybe. Turns out I have 161 nail polishes. Not inclusing about a dozen or so protein treatments, base coats, top coats, etc.

It's pretty fucking awesome.
 
Hahaha that is AWESOME poopie!! :D <3

Are there any particular brands or colour schemes which make up the majority of your collection?
