You could always pass the unused stuff on to a good home...::bats her eyelashes::

I'll take a look at what I have when I get back home next week and see what's there. I'll probably still hoard all of the MAC for Back2MAC, but I'd be happy to see things go to someone who would actually use them

Yeah Back2MAC!!! That reminds me, I wonder how many empties I have right now.

I ALWAYS forget about Back2MAC, probably because I don't buy a whole lot of MAC--I feel like many other cheaper products are just as good. Can't beat their eyeshadows if you're in to pressed shadows, though! (I just prefer pigments.)

I like their lipsticks, but the one thing I am totally in love with is their Fluidline pots. Compared to many other gel-based brush-on liners it is actually quite cheap, and it does exactly what I want.

My trick for eyeliner is to pull the lid down and over.

I prefer liquid liner, but fluidlines ARE nice. I also like to mix my pigments with a smidge of sealer to create colored liners with the same creamy texture.

And yeah, I've heard that stuff is ridiculously expensive in Australia. Damn being an island!!!

Oh lord, don't get me started on shimmers. SO much make up is shimmery these days and I am getting too old for shimmer. It makes my wrinkles look more wrinkly! Even the base I bought last, made for older skin, has a freaking shimmer to it. Just what I want! Glitter to highlight my laugh lines!

I wish I could say Mac is cheap LOL

I have to say, I never understood make up at the gym. You know you're going to sweat...and I would just worry that my sweaty open pores would get clogged by the make up and cause a break out. Has that ever happened to you?

i love makeup! some of you should get on makeupalley.. i like to swap for makeup, it keeps things from getting boring :o)

OMG! I work out late at night and there are Japanese and Filipina women who are heavily made up (the cholo look is big with Filipinas) and wearing microshorts and little flash dance t shirts. They don't work out though. They carry their owner's cell phone, towel and water bottle.This one spent about an hour watching me on and off. I'm like the only pale, blondish looking person in the free weight area. Its always so hot in that gym even before you start working out, I can see why they never move off their stool. Its even hotter in there than outdoors (which is always 88 to 100 in the day, eighty something at night)
If you go before 11 pm, there are some women with makeup doing cardio. Some never sweat. They are really skinny. That's amazing.I mean I lift twice their body weight for sets.And they have long hair. I have a crewcut and its sweaty. Then there are the Emo boys who look like women, except they have no hips or breasts or muscles. They all have highly stylized hair and sometimes makeup.They just hang in corners and text each other and go home in an hour or to a karaoke club. They do not have ornamental women to hold their towels.They have no use for towels. But they are pretty enough to be towel girls (or boys). I want one of these. I was talking with my friend after a basketball game on how you get your own "gym slave". He said try Craig'slist.

So anyone out there in Hawaii, I'm looking for a gym slave who will wear lipstick and hold my huge water bottle. PS, I'm the one who looks like a shorter version of Dolph Lundgren.


My best friend and I used to go shopping at places we could not afford to buy things at like the new Nordstroms. I was always pairing up ties and showing him what I would wear if I had a job that did not involve blood and a name tag. Then we would get thrown out of the grooming section. He's like "Dude, this is my eye cream, you should use some" "I'd be like "this is Angel for men" He'd be like don't spray me my Mom won't be able to breathe and she'll think I'm gay." I'm like "Dude, You're 44 and you haven't had a date in nine years, she already thinks you're gay and you wear hockey skirts". "They are Utility Kilts". Then I'm like "dude, this is the best shave lotion, if you are going to wear a skirt, you should shave your legs". So then the salesmen comes out because we are a bit loud, and he was wearing makeup. So we ran.The closest I got to wearing makeup was dating a model who was always trying her NARS products out on my face. She wore makeup to the gym. She wore makeup to bed, the fire alarm went off and she rescued her makeup.

Not really as I "scrub" my face thoroughly every night. I do kickboxing and I do sweat and my eye make-up sometimes runs (have to plan my eye make-up, but sometimes I forget) A shower at home afterwards feels so good and seems to restore my complexion.
