This is my first visit to your blog but I am very impressed. You are a wonderful writer and helping me out a lot. I am a self-proclaimed tomboy about to start my first real job and I am ready for a change. This includes makeup, which I have NEVER worn before. I really appreciate this post and I look forward to trying some of these products. Thanks!

Nerd Girl to help with those oliy eyelids that I myself suffer as well try concealer from MAC on the lid before applying shadow and it helps to lock the shadow in all day. My favorite brands are Physicians Formula found at a your local CVS for that bronzy dewey look for the summer great for cheeks and eyes. My old faithful mascara is Loreal Voluminous Lash, people ask me do I have on false lashes. MAC, hands down has the best selection of eyeshadows for all races. For the summer I’m rocking chrome yellow, orange, humid and electric eel, for intense color. I also love the lipglosses from MAC, oyster girl, cultured, star nova, c-thru. I’m a local makeup artist out of Detroit Michigan, so if you’re in need of an artist contact me @ missuno1@yahoo.com

I’m a new fan Afrobella! I love My Favorite Lip Balm by CO Bigelow (@ Bath & Body Works). It smells divine and imparts moisture and a little sheen. And it’s usually just $5. My favorite fragrances are Tracy by Ellen Tracy, Max Mara, Pure Grace by philosophy and my new favorite, Tahitian holiday exotic body mist (part mist, part oil) from Avon. Thanks for letting me share! Can’t wait for a book!

I completly agree, i love love love Urban Decayâ€™s selection also. I have to try b.l.a.c mineralsâ€™ toasty..i really dont have any MAC makeup but their eyeshadows are indeed great…I am very picky about foundation. Have anyone ever hear of LOCAR…i like there foundation beacuse its non-oil base. I dont know that much about foundation and I use it only when I’m going out. Any suggestion on great foundation?

To MeikMeik:

Thanks for the info on Rx for Brown Skin…I got a brochure on that line from Sephora a few months back, and I was hesitant to try it. I had a lot of scars from old acne too. What’s been working for me is Aqua Glycolic (cleanser, toner and cream). I use the whole regimen day and night, and in a couple of weeks my skin felt silkier and velvety soft like never before…what is that, velvet? Now, after about 4 weeks, I’ve noticed my spots really fading, without that unevenness that’s pissed me off in the past. What’s cool is that the whole thing was on sale at drugstore.com for $25!

I’m glad we’ve both found something that works!

I forgot to mention I use bronzers or pressed powder brushed on instead of my old fave creme to powder as make-up folk and friends said i didnt really need heavy foundations and so far so good.
