Arrrghhhh...I have too much makeup!

maria_harlequin · 11-25-2009, 04:19 PM

I just got a bunch of makeup in that I ordered...and they're so fabulous that I have to share them with you!!

I know Alosha recommended these guys before: The All Natural Face by theallnaturalface on Etsy for their natural mascara. I ordered their concealer/brush set and foundation samples with a bamboo handle Kabuki brush and they sent me a ton of free samples!! Definitely worth a lot more than the money I spent. And their brushes are VERY, VERY soft. If you're into mineral makeup, I really recommend them.

And I also got my new eyeshadows from heavenlynaturalbeauty.com. I ordered the Virtues set and they're amaaaaaaazing. I can't wait to start playing with them. I really recommend Heavenly Naturals for their eyeshadows because they're incredibly pigmented and the shades are really unique. They're not as generous as The All Natural Face when it comes to samples but I did get a few eyeshadow samples a a mini lip gloss. I'm tempted to get the Electric Collection just because.

And finally, the NYX Glitterati Palette! A belly dancer can never have too much glitter.

The hilarious thing about this set is that I flipped it over and it says "Made in P.R.O.C"...they're being creative and putting People's Republic Of China instead of Made in China.

This palette is extremely sparkly but I'm not sure how well it's going to go with my eye shadows...I picked it up for cheap though (you can probably get it for $10 on eBay with free shipping in the States) so I'm going to be experimenting soon...I can't stop looking at them...they're just so sparkly!

I'm so excited!! New makeup makes me feel giddy.

Maria I am just like you I have tooooooo much make up... and thing is I only have it because of the dance... during the day in normal life I only wear khol powder (however on THAT one I am very picky, I only wear Hashimi powder khol) and sometimes mascara.
My mum always picks on me for that, but hey, if something sparkles at me I just HAVE TO have it! :S hmmmmmmmmm

I hardly ever wear makeup on a daily basis as well...I've really noticed that it seems to be a trend among performing dancers...the more makeup you put on for shows, the less you wear it everyday! But we all have a huge collection

gisela · 11-26-2009, 02:24 AM

hmm, I wear loads in daily life. And then some more on stage

I got a small free makeup session at the mac counter when the had a hello kitty+mac campaign. I could choose to be a "mild kitty" or a "wild kitty". I chose wild naturally, but I was so disappointed, it was SO tame

. I went home and put on much more of the same and then it almost resembled my everyday look. That makeup artist didn't know who was in her chair that day, hehehe...

Maybe it's because Hello Kitty is still tame when she's wild?

I love that collection btw, it's adorable.

I can't imagine Hello Kitty being very wild. XD

Lovely makeup, Maria! We have a line of makeup called "Hard Candy" where I work that I'm thinking of trying. I mean, eye shadow tattoos!!!

OMG, makeup is a weakness for me. You got some gorgeous paints there!

How much coverage do the All Natural Face minerals provide? I was just posting in Alosha's acne thread that I need to wean off the heavy liquid makeup I've been using, but I still want a lot of coverage until my skin has improved.

JEALOUS!! ooo so shinny. And to think i though I had a lot when i only have 10 different shadows.
