Right - I wrote this post eons ago but it got forgotten in my draft folder... Le sigh!
You may have already seen some of this items used in FOTD/FOTNs... but I decided to post it anyway as they are some nice and interesting products, worth sharing. :)
I also realised it was way too long so I split it into 2.
bareMinerals Quick Change Brush Cleaner: I bought this to clean my brushes, between washes.
This is a fantastic product - gets rid of the darkest eyeshadows quickly and leaving the brushes dry. It also has a very pleasant smell.
I will definitely re-buy when I run out.

Mac Chromagraphic Pencil in Process Magenta: I couldn't resist this lip pencil... the colour is just so stunning... a true, bright magenta. This need to be applied with extreme precision as the staying power is impressive and leaves a stain, even after I've wiped it off with some remover.
The pencil gives a matte finish that I, personally, like on his own and I don't top it up with any lipstick. Bright statement lips with glossy eyes is the look I'm going for (and a sleek ponytail!)
There are about 10 Chromagraphic Pencils that were released in 2010, part of the PRO store; I'm just a bit annoyed as these pencils are also described as multi-use but some of them are 'not to be use on the lip area' or 'not to be used on the eye area'... Process Magenta is one of the latter and I would have, totally, experimented as an eyeliner, too... shame!
Mac Paint Pot in Rubenesque: Impressed with the quality of Painterly Paint Pot so I decided I wanted a shade with a bit more pizzazz... also, something with a bit of shimmer to use as a base when I layer neutral eyeshadows.
I'm so glad I got this colour - it's absolutely stunning and the one that I gravitate towards the most, recently.... when I don't know what to wear, I go for Rubenesque as it makes for an interesting eye colour, effortlessly.
It's described on the website as a golden peach with gold shimmer which I couldn't have formulated any better - spot on!
Duo Adhesive: I don't use false lashes very often but this is supposed to be the best glue on the market... so I picked up a tube to try out.
ummm, not much else to say - it's glue, guys... but let me know if you use it, too! :)
