Ok so I've been wanting to make this thread for a while. I've also been wanting to start a "random thoughts" thread...but I figured I'd separate the categories so that at least the "beauty" one is on the front page, rather than hidden in off topic. So, have a beauty-related thought but don't think it's worth starting a thread about ? Post it here !

today I got a facial at an extraordinarily nice spa. A real treat. And the results were immediate and truly great. But guys: she pulled out a clarisonic and a foamy cleanser for that first initial cleanse, and I nearly had a heart attack. Great for a lot of people but most of you know how I feel about those things !!!!!! Overall, as I said, it was great and my skin is happy. But sheesh.

If you are into metallics, the Sephora x Pantone Marsala Metalshine Liquid Liner is a gorgeous color within this family (I'm wearing it in the photo below). It's a slightly rosy rust-red metallic and applies really well. It's still available online, but if you have a SiJCP near you you should call and check with them first as I have seen them in the SiJCP sale section for about 50% off.

I got 3 from my SiJCP on sale for $9, because I'm all for red eyeliner. 😄 And it looks good with **bleep** near everything.

[mrstrish]

Ugh I just saw that at SiJCP and was like, um no... But after seeing it on you, I'm like oh yes! Darn it! I need to be more adventurous!

[MrsLisha]

Lots of colors look so different till you see them on 🙂

[Gwenhwyfar]

Yay! I love this color. I am definitely itching for a matte rust-red liner though. Let me know if you find the perfect one!

[warriorwitch]

Well I thought my search was basically over with this and then the idea of doing a burgundy waterline lodged in my brain... You would think I could just let things be. XD

[Gwenhwyfar]

Nah. I understand the draw. I think burgundy, red and pink look best on my complexion and with my eye color, and I love dark colors most of all. Unfortunately there are just not enough options for quality eye products in these colors!

[warriorwitch]

Seriously! Equal love across the color spectrum!

I have a few red/burgundy liners that might work. I'll swatch them for you later, promise. Two are Holika Holika and I get them for around $7 on eBay. These are my HG liners. Better than any I've tried including UD, TF, Smashbox. I have very oily eyelids and this stuff doesn't budge. And thanks for the baby yak, he's totally smiling 🙂

[warriorwitch]

I've been eyeballing some Holika Holika liners myself for a loooooong time. (Maybe the same ones and swatches would be super appreciated thank you ma'am! 😄 ) I think I might finally stop finding reasons to not do it and order some of the interesting and bizarre Korean beauty items that I have been wanting to try.

So many things to try, so little time/money/attention span.

[pixiedust2]

Also, the Inglot red eyeliner is amazeballs. Mine dried up and I need a new one. The color is so intense. This swatch I found is a great example:

[warriorwitch]

This liner has been on my wants list for a long time, I just keep forgetting I can order it...

I think it may need to happen as immediately as possible. Come on payday!

[pixiedust2]

It definitely has a different consistency than any other cream liner I've tried. It feels a little like greasepaint, rather than a gel. But it dries and stays put. But once it dries up in the container, it's a goner. I tried resurrecting it but had to toss it. 

[warriorwitch]

Yea, I wish they would make half sizes of gel/cream liners. I can never use them up before they dry out.

[Gwenhwyfar]

Oh my gosh. I want this!

[jemly]

THIS IS A DREAM !!!!!

[lachaton]

You could try Stila's Smudge Stick in Deep Burgundy - it pulls somewhat red on me. Definitely a rich brown. Or maybe Sienna or Spice?

[warriorwitch]

You know I walk right past the Stila display and never really pay attention. Will definitely be making a swatchfest of it next time I go to town! Thanks for the recommends. 😄 (Also saw the Garnet Ink, which is probably no good for waterlines but... intriguing. Hope they get it in store for me to see soon.)

[jemly]

it's the purpler side of of burgundy, and it's kohl liner pencil, but MAC's prunella is wonderful. their 'teddy' is brown but i'd say it's a warm brown, too. mixed and smudged together they'd be particularly glorious. 

proper gel liners, wise, MARC JACOBS highliners have a similar sort of maroon called jazzberry and a warm bronze called (ro)cocoa. 

i feel you, it's hard to find a proper burgundy anything. definitely check out prunella, though !

[warriorwitch]

It might could be my first MAC purchase... If they weren't ungodly rude at the local MAC counter I might have gone in to pick them up, but I see MAC has free shipping so that's just as good. 😄

Sick day makeup lessons learnt:

I have been under the weather since yesterday (fever etc).  So today I decided to put my game face on and did a whole Burberry look.  I have errands to run and tons of work to do. 

Makeupwise nothing too exciting, just some stuff I slapped on.  But here are important lessons I learnt:

- Dreamy eyes are easy to achieve when sick.  Dreamy, drugged....they all mean the same thing, no?

- Blushing cheeks?  Done!  Some natural flush becasue your body is going hot and cold is just th ething you need.  Who needs blusher?  Chumps, that's who.

- Red lips:  Slap on a red lipstick and you will look like you belong.  You think anybody asks a woman with red lipstick if she is sick?  Naw!  Women that wear red lipstick are rescuing puppies and beating ninja warriors.  So that is what I did...slapped some red on and now I can fight a small battle.

End of pearls of wisdom.  Obviously the drugs are speaking.  Thx bai.
