MY COSMETICS RANT


Does anyone know where I can get the famous Urban Decay Primer Potion? It isn't stocked by Strawberry net :( My eyeliner always melts and smudges thus making me look like some crazed banshee. Or a stoner.

Now, which is better, Chanel Glossimer or the Yves Saint Laurent Golden Gloss Shimmering Lip Gloss? Both are purdy, and I still don't even have Juicy Tubes :'(



Yet, we must remember that brands do not guarantee a good product. When Randolf and I were ambushed at the Yves Saint Laurent makeup counter by two overzealous SAs, one lady proceeded to violate my face with YSL's liquid eyeliner (Eyeliner Moire). (Actually it wasn't that bad, they were very nice, and another occasion one of the ladies gave Helenka and I two YSL sample faux cils each!)

However 30 minutes later the eyeliner had yet again made me look like a banshee (or even worse, Heather Locklear) . Those ladies should've had some Urban Decay on hand.




Other things that make me look like a banshee:

Hypnose Mascara - Lancome
Shame, it really is very good, but my eyes get very watery, just like Randolf watching Oprah. Therefore watery eyes equate to watery makeup, equating to major smudging. Result? Banshee-ness.

Kohl Eyeliner - Dior
Application, from what I remember ages ago, was very smooth and highly pigmented.
Then 30 minutes later I look like a stoner

Cosmetics that DON'T make me look like a banshee

Exceptionnel de Chanel Mascara
Slightly clumpy at first but when you use a business card behind your eyelashes while applying it, it's pretty good. Hypnose is wayyyy better but Exceptionnel doesn't smudge! Yay! But now I threw it out. No yay.



The point of this is ... I NEED THAT PRIMER POTION. It will stop me looking like a banshee, as even 'good' makeup can make you do so. I tried Smashbox photo primer a couple of times and that was very, very, very, very, very good. But it's expensive, boo.
The Benefit mattifying balm, I forgot what it was called, dried up and didn't really do much for me.


This is what four days of staying at home does to you. It also makes you look like a banshee.
