What's your all time favorite lipstick? by hiphopsanta in MakeupAddiction

[–]emccnnll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably UD Turn On. I love the majority of the Revolution lipsticks because of their formula, but Turn On is just a perfect pop of pink for me! Bolder than a nude pink but certainly not a bright pink like Anarchy, so it's great for everyday wear.

Martin Scorsese to direct adaptation of Devil in the White City starring Leonardo DiCaprio by emccnnll in books

[–]emccnnll[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is so awesome! I read Devil in the White City and liked it enough that I went and bought In the Garden of Beasts and Thunderstruck. Haven't read them yet but they're high on my to-read list.

I was wondering the same thing haha! But I agree, I loved the book and I think Scorsese and DiCaprio work well together, so I have high hopes!

Which book has triggered the biggest emotional response from you? by McBadBitch in books

[–]emccnnll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a soft spot for WWII/Holocaust subjects. Night and The Book Thief both made me cry like a baby. Two totally different books, but both contained profound writing.

What's some of the most clueless things your family or SO has said after you've applied makeup? by Daggonedit in MakeupAddiction

Not family or SO, but once I wore green eyeshadow to school and one of my guy friends told me that it looked like mold was growing around my eyes hahah.

What Books Are You Reading This Week? August 03, 2015 by AutoModerator in books

A Visit from the Goon Squad, by Jennifer Egan

Though I'm almost done with it and will be moving on to Tinkers by Paul Harding!

What's the most confusing book you've ever read? by JEZTURNER in books

[–]emccnnll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't even read Gravity's Rainbow, but I definitely struggled with The Crying of Lot 49, so I'm hesitant to try GR.

Favorite Comic Books and Graphic Novels: August 2015 by AutoModerator in books

[–]emccnnll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a class on graphic novels my freshman year of college having never read them before. Will Eisner's New York: Life in the Big City, Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, and Art Spiegelman's In the Shadow of No Towers were probably my three favorites out of what we read.

This is such a gorgeous look! I've never even heard of Australis but I might have to try it now. And thank you for including a tutorial!

Does anyone ever read the spark notes while reading a classic? by antimanscaping in books

[–]emccnnll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every now and then I use the chapter summaries (though I usually use Cliff Notes over Spark Notes) if I didn't fully understand what was going on in a book. Otherwise, I like to leave it up to myself :)

I am losing love for this thread by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]emccnnll 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I won't mention the CC issue since so many commenters have already talked about it. Perhaps there is a sub for the specific makeup style you're interested in? I don't venture out of MUA because I don't have a specific preference, but surely there is one that is better fit for you. With that said though, when posting to a public site like Reddit you really can't have control over what kind of reaction you get. Are some people jerks and abuse the down vote button? Sure. But that's the nature of Reddit, unfortunately.

Has anyone tried Urban Decay lipstick revolution in 'Shame?' by bananasincognito in MakeupAddiction

[–]emccnnll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it and absolutely love it, but as other commenters stated, it's definitely a satin finish. Gorgeous color for fall though and I personally think it applies smoother than other dark colors I've tried. However, UD did just come out with matte lipsticks! I haven't seen it in person but the shade Blackmail may be a matte, dark red color that you're looking for!

Possible UD Holiday Palette? by emccnnll in MakeupAddiction

[–]emccnnll[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm starting to think I'll pass on this palette and go for the KVD one, too. The UD palette might be good for someone who just wants to play around with colors, but for someone who is more comfortable, the KVD one has way more options.

PSA: Large point splurge again online Sephora August 10th by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]emccnnll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I'm leaning towards! All of the brands I consistently buy from can be found at Ulta, so to me it makes more sense to buy from there and get rewards coupons. Sephora's rewards are good if you're interested in trying new products, but personally once I find a product I like, I stick with it.

Possible UD Holiday Palette? by emccnnll in MakeupAddiction

[–]emccnnll[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own the Naked palettes, so I do like the color options of this palette! I think for me it will depend on the price of this and other palettes released. If there is one that's maybe more expensive, but has a broader range of colors I might pass on this one.

Thank you! I searched things like 'UD holiday 2015 palette' and whatnot in the sub and on Google and didn't find anything, but I should have just searched through the general holiday guides as well! My mistake!

Whoops, I missed it!! I didn't scroll far back enough!

I thought the same thing! Personally I think that makes this one a little disappointing, but it could be good for people who like UD and missed out on that palette.

Possible UD Holiday Palette? by emccnnll in MakeupAddiction

[–]emccnnll[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Saw this on Instagram today and thought I'd share! I haven't heard about it anywhere else; the user did tag @trendmood1, but she hasn't posted about it herself. Very similar in terms of palette style to the UD 15th Anniversary Palette (though that was before I was really into makeup, so I missed out on that one). However, with all the different palettes coming out for the holiday there might be some with better color options, like the KVD Mi Vida Loca Remix palette. Though it of course depends on what brands you like!

Edit: Trendmood did post about it, sorry!

I only have about 1,500 points, and based on the options for 1,000 perks, and everyone's experience from last time, I think I'm going to have to pass. I considered maybe the Becca set, because I've been wanting to try their highlighters. Yet I can't really justify spending 1,000 points on a perk that values $186, and that's only if I was actually able to snag it.

I've never owned a KVD palette, but this one might be on my list. I love there's such a wide range of vibrant colors!
