Great idea about the pigments! I have a ton of Bare Minerals loose eyeshadows, and I hate the mess, so I may give this a go!

Ordered my UD Naked Palette 2 last night, can't wait for it to arrive, a treat to myself for working all weekend & getting my essay done! :P

Got my elf order today :D. Really like some of the stuff, but the powder etc is really dark. Gonna return some stuff I think, but i'm really happy with their lip, nail and eye stuff!

How strange, I was just going to ask about the powder from elf as it looks quite dark on the site. Guess you've answered my question for me :)

Haha, glad I could help :D. Their 'ivory' is definitely darker than Rimmel-which is what I used for foundation and powder. Can't fault their other stuff though, i'm being a total child with makeup today and playing around with it all before work :P!

Sounds like it'll definitely be too dark for me then. Ah well, guess I'll have to look somewhere else, or just save up and go for Everyday Minerals again (love it but I'm skint these days). Might order a few other bits from ELF though, some of their stuff looks nice

Probably! I always mean to try mineral foundation, but i'm so heavy handed liquid is just easier in a rush!
What are you thinking of ordering??
Only annoying thing on there is stuff I want being out of stock :(.

Was gonna try the pressed powder foundation but might give a miss now. Still might try the mineral foundation though and probably order some fun colourful eyeliners and shiz

I much prefer the Too Faced stuff I find the Urban Decay stuff very sticky and sort of claggy (if you know what I mean). Though I do think the UD one gives slightly better hold but for me it's not that much better that I'll put up with the stickiness

Interesting. I use the UD one and find it a bit "claggy" after a while (I know what you mean :D) but never thought to try something else cos it holds my shadow well. I might give the other a try for comparison...
