Shiseido Moisture Mist beauty cake. It is the best I've found, goes on flawless and lasts all day. I put a bit of moisturiser on first, then the foundation, then a little bit of Thin Lizzy's as a setting powder/to add a bronzing effect.

Not sure if we've worked this out already, but not available in Australia. But I found a website that ships to Aus from NZ and it's pretty cheap, and obviously cheaper as Aus dollar is better than the NZ one.

I've looked through most of this thread and it makes me want someone to do my makeup for me. I really love that. And Tegz, if I go to Sydney in the near future you need to come makeup shopping with me because my Canberra friends suck at it.

You can get thin lizzy in australia, but for me it's not the foundation that makes me skin dry, it's my moisturizer or my cleanser or the weather or something other than the make-up. I use a tinted moisturizer bumped up with a bit more moisturizer. Try a primer maybe?

Not thin lizzy... i have no idea what that is... Th moisture mist body cake stuff.

I'm pretty sure you can get Beauty Cake in Australia, I remember Addy saying it was her mum's favourite foundation and she used it sometimes too? If you can't find it in Canberra I wouldn't bother importing it, it's not THAT good - it's just nice for me for the price range and convenience of wet/dry compact.

I really want the new luminescent Lancome foundation, it looks amazing...

I bought an anti aging foundation and compact powder from Orlane Paris a little while ago and it finally came.
it's so beautiful and smooth especially the power. Such a perfect colour too, this is the best make up products I've had in such a long time.

*bump*

I've been looking at getting liquid eyeliner. Does anyone know any brands that aren't too expensive and have an easy applicating tip?

Loreal! it has a felt tip and is so easy to apply!

Yes L'Oreal! I use a Revlon one at the moment which is cheap enough and super easy, but the L'Oreal one is next on my hit list.

I need a new liquid eyeliner soon, the Australis one that I have is okay but the tip is starting to wear so it makes it hard to get a nice neat line. I might have to try this L'Oreal one!

Okay thanks!

Who sells beige/camel-ish nailpolish? Im afet some and cant find it anywhere, and when I asked the lady in priceline she looked at me like I was a nutter then started showing me a million different shades of pink.

Revlon has a kind of peachy/beige-y colour. That's the closest I can think of that I've seen.

Australis probably does?

OPI do the BEST beige shades, but may be a little pricey (about $25 each usually). L'Oreal do some fab ones too, otherwise hit the discount & variety stores, they always have heaps.

Try Sportsgirl, they have a pretty wide range of nailpolish colours.

Zoya has good ones, just google it for stockists,

OPI. BEST. You can get them online really cheaply as well.

Ha, I just realised that I actually bought one from Sportsgirl called 'Nude' that may be the colour you're after.

Snazzy

My friend about make up for the wedding today, her make up artist likes to use Napoleon Perdis and holy shit it is expensive. I knew it was expensive but I didn't know it was that expensive. We spent $600 for make up for 3 of us. I hope it is good stuff, mainly because she's giving us the foundation and face powder after the wedding.

Oh and when I start either working or getting Newstart I want to get Benefit's pore minimiser, it makes you skin feel so silky soft

Has anyone tried Black shatter nail polish, the opi one?

I am in LOVE.
Im also in love with any of the katy perry or pirates of the carribean colours, just trying to justify over $50 for a few bottles and shipping from america..... when ill get sick of them soon!

My friend has the black shatter and the silver shatter polishes, they look so cool!

Those Opi nail polishes are cool but I can't justify spending that much money it's ridiculous.

Ebay I bought my 2 (shatter and teenage dream) for $23 all up, inc. postage.

God damn, I should have looked at ebay. I spent $20 on 'The one that got away' on the weekend.
It is really pretty though...
