Hey there!

I think you posted a link to a site the other day where a girl demonstrates puuting on UD eyeshadow. If so, can I have that link please?

I got my awesome MAC shadows and still look like my usual self. I was expecting someone else in the mirror! lol

hahha!

try makeupgeek.com

She also has MAC looks.  Oh and makeupbytiffanyd.blogspot.com is good too.  She has a link to her youtube tutorials.

Do you have good brushes?  Sometimes I think that makes a difference too.  There's a set of brushes a lot of people recommend for like $60.  Sigma Makeup, I think.  Supposedly comparable quality to MAC, which are like quadruple the price; maybe more.

that was it, makeupgeek! I'll check out both tonight, stupid youtube doesn't work here lately.

No, I have one brush from the drugstore! lol I can't see myself spending all that on brushes, even though I know they totally make a difference.

Yeah I've typically bought like one brush at a time for like 12 years, which is why I have so many.  They do make a difference, but it's HARD to spend that much cash on them.  Even for me.  I know, hard to believe.

very, very hard to believe

MAC also has a great blush set part of their holiday bag stuff. I just refuse to spend it on that when I can get all these glosses.

Its crazy, I know, haha. 

I much prefer glosses over brushes.  That is for sure!  There might be some other brushes rec'd on the F&B board that are even cheaper; I occasionally see good brush sets suggested over there that are less pricey.  If I see one, I'll be sure to pass on the info.  Sonia Kashuk brushes at Target are pretty good too.
