Iβm going to Dublin on Saturday and found out they have a store called spacenk that has Becca, Sunday Riley and hourglass products, Iβd love to try these outs Anyone have any recommendations ? I have Hourglass primer. I love it. I really do! It's not as slippery as Smashbox, but it still does a very nice job. I got the travel sized bottle and will buy a full sized one next time and use it to fill up the little one (it's so easy to do that.) I like Hourglass as a company and their products which I have tried are wonderful. Can you get Marc Jacobs in Dublin? What about Tarte? Benefit? It? Too Faced? i think Dublin is the same as the UK mainland and we can get Marc Jacobs, Too Faced and Benefit - not from Space though. Tarte through QVC i believe but not IT.

I had on Marc Jacobs eye shadow and it was amazing. It looked so good! I had it done at Sephora so I am not taking credit for the artistry, but the colours were so pretty. It was expensive so I had to think about what I wanted more. I am still considering it. (Trying not to, anyway).
I have They're Real mascara from Benefit and I really hate it but I continue to buy it to change things up. Each of my mascaras works differently. TR just does something great with my lashes but that brush on the wand stabs me in the eye every time I use it. I will still buy it. It is still great.
This is good information for me and not sure if you knew it, but my mascaras last 1-3 months at most. I heard to buy a deluxe (mini) sized mascara because they last three months, too and it's not the product runs out it's that they dry up. That was kind of cool. I will try it out on myself this month.

I prefer their primer to Smashbox. I also like their setting spray. I've never tried anything from Hourglass though. For mascaras, I really like Benefit Rollerball, Smashbox Full Exposure and Urban Decay Perversion. I got Sephora's mascara sample box, so I'm looking forward to trying some new ones out too. I have bought so many travel or trial size ones over the years trying to find ones I love that I've gotten used to using that size wand and now I prefer it.

Anyone who pops into this thread - what lip balms and hand creams are you using this time of year? My lip balm of choice is Carmex or Palmers cocoa butter lip balm. I absolutely love the body shop shea and hemp hand creams. Iβm using a LancΓ΄me juicy shaker itβs the yellow one and I love it hand cream I love are gardeners hand cream and joules hand cream both are great for people like me whose hands can bleed this time of year,

An observation: I love mascara and I wear it every day. I love the way it makes my eyes look bigger. That said I can't wear waterproof nor water resistant mascara because nothing I own will take it off. It's very frustrating. I am using water soluble mascara but any time I yawn or my eye runs (it's just my right eye) my mascara smudges a bit. I love the mascaras I am using right now. I just don't want it to smear on my face any longer. I know I am asking a lot! Have you tried too faces or urban decay? they come off fine for me

Iβm going to Dublin on Saturday and found out they have a store called spacenk that has Becca, Sunday Riley and hourglass products, Iβd love to try these outs Anyone have any recommendations ? Check out The Anna Editβs blog - pretty much everything she uses is at Space NK. Itβs a popular store in the UK for high end. The hourglass ambient light powders, becca shimmering skin perfectors, NARS sheer glow, matte lip pencils and blushes can all be found at space nk. They also sell By Terry at space nk and people rave about their eyeshadow crayons. Enjoy your trip! Looking forward to hearing what you purchase! Cool thanks I'm looking forward to it, though in a place like that I wonβt be able to get too much usually at Christmas we go on several days, my dad, my sister and the boys, but since my sister just had a baby she has cancelled it all, so I was a bit like this sucks for me so I decided to go up myself and have at least one shopping day out I must look up the crayons on utube and NARS sheer glow

I must look at the primer too so, I think Iβd like some of the ambient lighting powders. i havenβt seen Marc Jacobs there last time I went I got a Charlotte tilbury blush, some Mac stuff, but didnβt love any of it so not going to look at Mac this time, I got a Laura mercier highlighter and 2 Kat Von D palettes and some single kvd shadows tarte you have to buy online, Iβve one palette from them I got in Sephora when I was in New York benefit ive never tried but I can get in my local town but itβs situated right beside urban decay and I donβt think the girls there would be too delighted to see me jump ship, they thought me to use make up and I mainly use their products and for some reason benefit just doesnβt appeal to me. too faced I love, I can buy it from an Irish department store online but not in my town, I want to get a foundation to try from them on Saturday. I adore there sweetheart blush and heart shaped highlighters, I have several of their palettes, but I find the pigment is no where near as strong as urban decay, but I do like them for a softer look. But so far they have none of the newer stuff online maybe they might have it in store, they didnβt have a lot of the kvd stuff online

There is hardly anything from urban decay I donβt have, except their blushes too faced blush is amazing. up to this point pretty much all my make up has been either urban decay or too faced shadows and blush just want to try a few different brands because Iβve become obsessed with utube vids

gigi333 what do you have for a setting spray? I have Makeup Forever, Tarte and something else I am not remembering. I like the Tarte one the best so far. I have it in two sizes even because one is for travel and one is for home. Today is my first day using Two Faced Melted matte liquid lipstick and my lipstick still looks good and I put it on hours ago. I haven't eaten so I think that is part of it. I got a Bare Minerals liquid lipstick yesterday and it tastes like cupcake but doesn't give very good coverage. The colour is really pretty, though. I bought a Sephora brand concealer as everything else was sold out in my shade. I am on the fence with it as well. I baked it with some Too Faced loose powder (VIB Sale) and it took some of the cakiness away. I got a Laura Mercier travel sized container of loose powder yesterday as I have read it is better. I will see. (My birthday was yesterday and I got 2 GCs plus money from my dad to buy makeup so if it seems like I have spent a lot...well this is why).

I am wearing what I bought in Spain and it's only ok. I am glad I didn't get a second one after all. I will get a BTS one the next time I am in Sephora in the travel size because I don't need a full size after finding out they dry out at the same speed and it's not the mascara that runs out. I do alternate my mascara all the time. It's fun.

What does anyone know about hair extensions? I tried some out today in the mall but I had a headache and I knew it was a bad time to try them. They were an exact match to my hair. They were longer than I would have liked but they were super cool. I can't grow my hair that long (it just breaks off) but I might consider them. They were very nice! They aren't cheap but they are pretty. They are 100% human hair from Russia. Thoughts?

My hair is long - to my middle of my back - so extensions are not something I am going to be using anytime soon.

They were human hair dyed to match hers then taped in. You canβt use conditioner on them it makes the adhesive unstick. They were expensive $350 plus whatever she charged to put them in. Thinking about getting them for youngest dd. Her hair is super thin and last year it started to fall out for a while. The dr couldnβt find a medical reason for it. It really hasnβt grown back in. Thankfully itβs in the back. But hard to justify it to dh.

My hair is long - to my middle of my back - so extensions are not something I am going to be using anytime soon. I can't grow my hair longer than it is right now. Well maybe another inch or two. I did get a lot cut off in September to go away with as I wanted it easy to wash and dry. It has mostly grown back now and I just want long hair for a change. The colour match was perfect that was what I liked about them. I didn't like the women working at the wig store at all. They didn't want to really show me how any of it worked or anything. The other one was doing her makeup. It was a weird experience. It was nothing like Sephora. That said, the length is long, the colour is perfect, the texture felt good. Will I wear them? I don't know at this point. I want to say I will but I am not sure. I really liked them. I will think about it some more.

I am tracking the movement of my parcels and they are taking forever to get out west where I am.

It seems like I saw something recently about someone wanting a deal on a Clairsonic. QVC has the Mia 2 with 2 brush heads in addition to the one that comes on it and some IT cosmetics cleaning/moisturizing stuff - not sure how long this will last. And it's on evil pay through tomorrow, I think. lol QVC Clairsonic deal

And it's on evil pay through tomorrow, I think. lol QVC Clairsonic dealI paid $210 Canadian for mine so what would that be? $160 US? I got some other products that I would use anyway with it and it looks great, but that was as good a deal as i could get. Edit: I got mine for $168 during Sephora's VIB sale. It wasn't as bad as I thought.
