Tyna,
BETTER than Blinc, no contest. And a whole lot cheaper!

Thanks Tracy! That sounds like a low cost version of the Blinc mascara – can’t wait to try it! i love those little tubes.

Oh I forgot!

My bestest, mostest favorite mascara now: L’Oreal Lash Tubes or whatever it’s called (red and white containter, with primer)- it’s AWESOME!! If you cry, if your eyes water- nothing. Nada. It doesn’t come off- but at night, with a little soap and water or remover, it literally comes off in tiny little tubes. It’s FANTASTIC and FUN! And, it makes my lashes LONG and they still stay soft and supple, not hard or brittle. Plus, it’s only about 8 bucks. CHA CHING!

I never had that problem with the UD pencil, and I’ve gone through two of them now. Maybe you just have bad luck? *crosses fingers*
And there’s no way I would even THINK of trying the MUFE foundation in the summer, it would be a disaster on me!!!

Did you have trouble keeping the UD pencil together?

Thanks Kate your feelings are very appreciated! As with the MUF Foundation, what works for me doesn’t always jive with everyone else. I think the main reason I am loving this foundation so much is because I live in an extremely dry climate and my skin is pretty dry at the moment. I might not like it as much during the summer months, we will see!

And you did it to me again Kate, now I must try Dior’s HydaAction tinted moisturizer!

However, I do LOVE all things NARS lip gloss. I have been rocking some Boogie Nights lately. So pretty and bold but not as crazy as red lips (I’m subdued…)

I just was not impressed with the HD foundation. I tried it one day over the holidays and it was cakey, and greasy, like margarine in a tub. It did not make my skin feel fresh and light. It felt like dry-wall mud. I’ve been wearing Dior HydaAction tinted moisturizer pretty much every day. I LOVE it!

And I loved the coverage and consistancy of the 24/7 concealer from Urban Decay but I couldnt keep the pencil from falling apart. It broke deep inside the tube every time I sharpened it so I lost so much product!

I really want to try out the UD’s concealer. I’m currently using M.A.C, which is working pretty nicely. But I want to try something else that could give me even better coverage.

I also love the UD 24/7 Glide on Pencil. But I find it a little bit too creamy for me since I have oily lids. So I put the M.A.C Black Track and then run it over with UD 24/7 after putting a shadow primer base!

Thanks for writing this review!

Thanks for the great list Jen – I do love a good list! I must agree with you that the UD 24/7 eye pencils are awesome – they glide on so smoothly and can be smudged a bit and than it locks onto your lid. Oh and while I haven’t tried the Nars in Rose Birman, I love their glosses. I want to try this color since I too can’t wear too red of a red. Sounds right up my alley!
