RANDOM THOUGHTS : BEAUTY (PART DEUX)

[jemly]

welcome back to the junk drawer of random beauty thoughts and musings. it has been nearly a year, so i think it is time for a rew RT thread ! 

when i'm doing my makeup in the morning, my dog sometimes throws a fit until i move his food bowl over to where i'm sitting. i'm certainly not the diva in our relationship.

Compromise on iridescent fish.  @Libellules

[Libellules]

So wise, @TKLJ!

That's actually a really pretty fish lol

[k617]

Hahaha, oh men!!

[Libellules]

Seriously

[Tamara76]

That is adorable!!! 💗💗💗

[veronika23]

@Libellules   Hahaha he's a funny one!   So pretty. It's not even in Canada yet. How did you like it? Worth it?

[Libellules]

@veronika23 It's really nice! I tend to prefer iridescent to holographic, but I still like this. The interior looked really nice and like it was very good quality. 

I think it was samtian that mentioned in the fragrance challenge thread that she has all of her samples organized in a train case. I think that that's an excellent idea - and I certainly have enough to fill a good portion! For now, though. I don't know if in the long term I will have enough to justify the $$$ on this one. And I say that because I tend to prefer to see what I own. Otherwise I don't tend to reach for it (but it's simply impossible for me to be able to see everything I own. There's just too much lol)

Do you have a use for it?

[veronika23]

@LibellulesI think I prefer iridescent to holo as well.  Really depends lol. Thanks for your thoughts!  Do I have a use for it??? Yes and no lol. I mean I'm always out of room and re-organizing and it be nice to have another to store items I want to keep but don't reach for.  I have an old school MAC one and a regular black one that needs to be fixed.  Just real obsessed with the holo, iridescent, opal, oil slick, etc right now

[Libellules]

Ooooh an oil slick train case! I'd hate if I bought this one and then they came out with an oil slick one @veronika23 

[veronika23]

@Libellules  hahaha yeah I think I would hate that too

so i'm super stoked sephora is now carrying RMS beauty ! has anyone tried the master mixer ? it confuses me but it's still tempting me because i'm so pale i think i could even use it as a light blush / eyeshadow (just by itself). but not sure if it could work this way. would love some insight ! 

[ShannonAlexis]

Have you seen this tutorial? That model is pretty pale. She used it as a luminous blush and eyeshadow.

As a side note, I would kill for that model's lips. Or the whole face. The whole face would be nice...

[jemly]

oh @ShannonAlexis YES I HAVE. but i totally forgot about it !!! very helpful, thank you !

[Mochapj]

@jemly I have the master mixer.

it is same texture as the LL, if you are familiar with that.  It is potted, but a thinner texture than say a lip balm or cream blush.

On me, it is a bronzey gold shade that I can use for highlight, but on you it would be a rosegoldish blush I think.

[fatimamummy]

Sorry for jumping in the middle . @Mochapj How you like Living Luminizer, does it work well for our complexion? It looks so light in the picture but then the description says it is translucent.

[Mochapj]

@fatimamummy I can use the LL for about half the year, when I'm pale.  

Once I start to show any sort of color, it looks kind of whitish and strange on me, but for winter it is nice.  I find it gives a similar effect to the balm from the pat McGrath highlighter stick.

[fatimamummy]

Thanks @Mochapj , In that case may be for summer, I should consider getting master mixer instead.

[Mochapj]

@fatimamummy I can swatch both for you later if you'd like

[fatimamummy]

I would love it 😍

[Mochapj]

@fatimamummy

[fatimamummy]

@Mochapj  Thankyou for swatches. Do you think LL resembles with Illamasqua gleam in Aurora.
