    Gold Deposit MSF for sale
    I have a Gold Deposit MSF for sale.  I purchased it here BNIB and swiped it once before realizing that no matter how much I blend, it's useless for my PPP skin.  It's a great product just not for me.

    I'd like to do this auction-style, ending Sunday, January 21st at 9PM CST.  Bidding begins at $40 and includes PRIORITY shipping with DC.  I have feedback at MUA under mikithebrain.

    HUGE SALE- I really need to clean house before I start traveling for work! *UPDATED WITH SOME PICS
    UPDATED WITH SOME PICTURES

    Jest, SOLD, Girlie, Steep, Orange Tangent
    Behold, Blu-Noir, Blackberry, All That Glitters, Wnder Full
    Anti-Establishment, Hush, Frill, Putty, Glare


    So I recently found out that I'll be traveling about 6 months of the year for work and I realized that I have things in my traincase that have barely been touched.  So I figure if I can do a huge sale now, I can get rid of these gems and then not have to worry about doing sales while I'm gone.  It's a huge list and I am incredibly motivated to sell, so haggling is alright- just be fair.

    Pics will be uploaded later-  never fails that whenever I post a sale, my camera battery is wonky.  If you get to this before I even upload, just let me know if you need pics.

    Shipping will be $2 per transaction, PAYPAL only please-  non-cc is best, and my feedback is on MUA under mikithebrain.  I will be happy to make deals, but again-  be fair.  I also have two 4-pan palettes that I will toss in for the first two people who buy 4 shadows-- one is MAC, one is ELF.  Also-  DC is included with every purchase.  Also- in case anyone is super-allergic, I do have a kitty, but my traincase is VERY off-limits to him.  I will NOT be sanitizing unless you otherwise tell me to-  everyone has their own system.

    Please leave your email with your purchase.  I will be home all night--  I know, lame, but I work at 5:30am tomorrow-- so I should be able to invoice immediately.  Also-  it is most definitely FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE.  Don't try to hop over someone by offering me more money.  Not cool at all and it's bad karma for everyone!

    Let the games begin!

    FOR DOLLBRAIN
    Okay so I wrote a damn novel for you and then you deleted your post.  But I still think what I had to say to you was important so here it is:

    What I would recommend is this:  Use the yellow on the lid- I like that part a lot-  but blend it into a deep, matte or satin blue or purple up into the crease.  Add the green hue by adding a green liner all around the eye to give it that smoky eye effect but with lots of color-  I'm thinking Shade fluidliner, but Jade Way technakohl is very pretty and would look cool too.  I just think that using a lot of lustre-type shadows adds too much glitter and doesn't look polished enough for an application interview-  even though the color story is pretty, is really distracts from your eye overall.  Personally, if I was interviewing for the position, I'd really want to highlight my application skills because that ultimately is what makes them money-  if the client doesn't like the way you applied their makeup, they're not going to buy anything from you.  I know I've purchased quite a bit of useless items because I really loved the way that they were applied on me at the counter (hello, Shale e/s!!).  Also- know the counter and what the girls (and guys) generally wear on normal days.  If they mostly do basic, simple looks, maybe go that way with a pop of color......one thing I've always learned when interviewing is that you should try to give the interviewer the impression that you would fit right in with the existing staff (i.e. when I recently interviewed with a company that only allows its employees to wear white button front shirts as part of their dress code, I made sure that my look was something that I would wear to that job if I got it). 

    I know this is a novel, but I think you should have every tool at your disposal to really make a great impression and GET THIS JOB!  Woo!

    You might want to look at these face charts and see if you can get some ideas before you decide exactly what you want to do:

    Cheap finds, including Holiday 05 Viva Glam palette and pressed pigments!
    I finally cleaned out my stash in order to put it into a new traincase and found lots of goodies that I never use anymore.  I figured y'all might want a crack at them!  Big pics ahoy!  Feedback mikithebrain on MUA.  All prices include shipping and I encourage haggling for multiple items!

    On the urging of the moderator, I have come bearing gifts.  Well, swaps, but gifts nonetheless.

    I have 1/2 jars of Pinked Bronze and Fuchsia.....I would love to swap someone for a 1/2 jar of Fairylite.  I'm also totally willing to swap small amounts, just give me a bit, because I need to purchase some 5g jars then.  LMK!

    I have Plum and Half-Red l/l (I can measure them once I find a ruler....they've been sharpened rarely)  that need a good home.  Anyone looking to swap? I'm looking for eyeliners and shadows.

    Day 3....

    QuitMeter Counter courtesy of www.quitmeter.com.


    I can't believe I've stopped smoking. It hasn't been too hard yet. Cravings yes, but because of the patch, most of the physical stuff isn't a problem yet. Expect the coughing. I am hacking up 7 years worth of tar and nastiness. I'm getting nervous about this though-- once I'm off the patch, all bets are off.

    Thanks SO much for all the support guys. I really appreciate it!

    MAC e/s for swap!
    Hi, I'm a new user who's getting sick of a few of my depotted e/s from MAC. I have the following:

    Creme de Violet (2-3 uses)
    Shale (2-3 uses)
    Idol Eyes (2-3 uses; slightly lumpy from depotting)
    Paradisco (lightly used, bought before falling in love with D'Bohemia)
    Trax (2-3 uses, slight chip from depotting)

    I also just bought a Melon pigment that I would be happy to swap with other samples of other pigments, esp. Fairylite, Golden Olive, Copper Sparkle.

    I also have a few unused/lightly used lipsticks that I would be happy to trade for Lipglass.

    Please let me know....I'd love to get a few new items!
