Hi,

Well, as usual I think of this last minute. We are headed out to do a little shopping and I desperately need some new eye shadow. The last stuff I got was from HSN and they no longer carry it, figures, huh? Anyway, any ideas for a CREAM eye shadow? I love this rose color I have already, but am willing to try something else. John and I looked and looked at WalMart a couple of weeks ago, but no luck! Maybe we are blind or something? lol!

Ok, better get this out so I can hopefully get a couple of answers before we leave, lol!

THANKS!

I like Revlon but not sure if you can get a cream eye shadow. The best one I've used is from Arbonne.

Sweetie...you can turn any eye shadow into a cream. Just mix it with a little water and apply with an eye brush applicator.

This is how I learned how to apply make up (back in the day)...most Mary Kay stuff you could do that too.

I just wouldn't recommend using a loose powder. Make sure it's packed in.

Also, at many places (Target, Wally World and such) you can by eye shadow pencils. These are the wider and colorful ones.

And now for my beauty tip of the day.
E.L.F. (Eyes Lips Face) sells make up cheap. And it's a good quality. I've ordered from them twice now and I haven't been disappointed yet.

Shh....and my second secret is.......

I use eye shadow for my lipstick. I just use a neutral liner, then I apply a gentle coat of shadow with my finger and then I apply a gloss after.

I get complements all the time when I do this.

Mary Kay makes a cream shadow called Icicles and it's all I wear. It doesn't crease and stays on all day. I use the one called "vanilla" but I've also used the one called "Pink Frost" which you might like.

I quit selling the stuff a while back - no time since I'm doing so much fibromyalgia work on top of my full-time job - but I still wear this shadow all the time.

Thank you sooo much!!! We JUST got home from shopping and going for a late lunch/early dinner, whew!! We only went to WalMart and I know for sure we looked last time and they didn't have the already pre-made cream stuff. Thanks for all of your help!! If I get a chance I'll write more later ... gotta go for now! G'nite and Happy Mother's Day tomorrow!!

Hugs,
Sheri
