Our first poll: Spring lemmings!

[dgirl]

We haven't done a beauty poll on this site yet, so I thought I would post one. I have to run so I'll post my answers when I get back.

Poll question is: What products are you lemming this spring (or even lemmings that you have recently purchased are ok too). Here are a couple of categories to help you organize your lemmings

Foundation:

Blush:

Eye products:

Perfume:

Bath and body:

Other:

Have fun!


p.s. for anyone who doesn't know, a lemming is a product that you've heard about and you're dying to try.

[Colleen S.]

Blush: I'd like to get a highlighter products such as a Nars Multiple. Something that will make my skin shimmer.

Eye products: Sheer shimmer peach shadows. I like the cooling ones. I think I may try the Stila eyepots.

Perfume: Something fresh and clean

Bath and body: Bath and Body Works has Cherry Blossom scent out and I love it and want to get that!

Other: A pedicure for my new sandals

[Cherie]

* Bare Escentuals eye shadows (I wonder if they will be as finely milled as the foundation is)
* BeneFit's Zaparella line and Jewels of the Amazon highlighter
* Bourjois Happy Light foundation
* Cargo blush in Catalina and Polynesia, lipgloss in Chattanooga, and e/s in Mojave
* Chanel Ultra-Wear lip colour in Rose Quartz
* Comptoir Sud Pacifique EDPs (Vanille Abricot, Coeur de Vahine, etc)
* The Dessert line - worth trying now that it's on clearance everywhere
* Fresh Sake EDP
* Lancome Juicy Tube in Baby Doll
* NARS e/s duo in Windstar, lipgloss in Orgasm, and lipstick in Flaming Dust (although I couldn't ever pull the last one off!)
* Pop Eye Cake in Peaches
* Stila Pussycat Dolls collection (specifically, the lip products)
* Vincent Longo Wet Pearl lipstick (in Calypso Pearl, Honey Suckle, Olympia Rose, and Tonic Rose)

I also hate to admit it, but I am so very curious as to what the Barbie perfume is like! They've just started selling it at Sephora and despite (maybe because of?) the brand name, I do believe I will like it. :)

Colleen - I had no idea BBW had such a scent, but I'll absolutely check it out now that I know. Thank you - I love cherry blossoms! Might I suggest NARS Multiple in Copacabana for your highlighter dilemma? It works beautifully, even if it is colourless. :)

[Penny]

Blush: not sure what brand, but i really want to get some peachy-pink cream blushes for summer!

Eye products: Benefit Show-offs in Mint Julep

Perfume: none really

Bath and body: i have to find a really good self tanner for this summer!

Other: a job, lol. i need to start working while im off school...then what shall i buy? EVERYTHING! :D

Poll question is: What products are you lemming this spring (or even lemmings that you have recently purchased are ok too). Here are a couple of categories to help you organize your lemmings

Foundation: Diorskin, still. How long have I been lemming this? (I'm making myself wait until I finish my Loreal True match - such discipline!) and maybe the new MAC foundation...

Blush: I'm going to list a bronzer here. Don't know which one yet

Eye products: Pigments pigments pigments! I am still waiting for them to come to MAC in Korea, so instead I ordered 10 pigments from Twisted Fayte cuz they ship internationally! I also want to get some more green shadows and a Lancome mascara, probably Definicils. Also I recently got a lemming of mine, the MAC fluidline e/l. It is amazing and so easy to use.

Perfume: DKNY Be Delicious

Bath and body:

Other: An AHA gel that I saw at this European beauty store here. Also some irridescent face powder from MAC.

[debbie]

Foundation:don't wear don't want to.

Blush:tender blush by estee lauder. i want to try purple fade

Eye products:oohhh. let see. i am in a yellow and green mode. lol

Perfume:you know. i smelt on today by i think ellis i might go get it. :)

Bath and body:i usually don't change that but maybe vicotora's secret will come out with a new one.

Other:i am on a hunt for the prefect pink lipstick. i will find it soon. lol

girls i couldn't ask for more than i have , i mean i have enough to feed an army of women. lol but i love it.
:D :D

[dgirl]

I have the Coeur De Vahine perfume! I got it for myself for Christmas. Have you smelled it? I really love it because it's a fruity/tropical and slightly vanilla-y scent, but it has a touch of spice or something so it's not a cloying sweet perfume - it's more sophisticated I think. Perfect for summer! I think you should get it ;)

[Cherie]

dgirl - I have sampled it and it is absolutely fantastic, but then, CSP scents have always been a favourite of mine. And, you know, I thought the exact same thing you did upon trying it - it's a perfect summer scent. I think it would go well when carried along an evening breeze at a beachfront cafe over cocktails...but I have a tendency to romanticise scents. :cool:

supergirl - Yes! LOL...I seriously must get what is on my list. Some of those items have been a long time coming and I have just not been bothered to pick them up, but I'm glad to hear the endorsement on the VL lip colours! They looked too good to be true in my Sephora catalogue. I just knew the BE shadows were finely milled; a friend of mine was raving about them and I knew it had to have been at least in part from the texture. :)

[Cherie]

Kiki - I knew you would like them! ;) We have a tendency to inspire these things in one another because we have such similar taste. You will love them, seriously...in fact, check out the entire Collection Gourmande if you can. Mercier has some lovely things, and I actually think you would like the Honey Bath/Sugar Scrub duo. You can check it out on the Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus beauty websites. :)

It's funny that you mention Dior Tahiti Pink, because I was very close to putting it on my wish list. It's a gorgeous shade. And I am here to tell you Aucoin's SSE is simply amazing! I have it in SX10 and it's such a lovely little product...one that will last forever because so little is required each time. It really is worth it. Actually, so is everything on your list. :cool:

[Supergirl84]

and here are my lemmings!
* Scott Barnes honey chic palette, st tropez bronzer, illumineye e/s in princess, velvet, stormy nights
* EL advanced night repair eye cream
* lol, believe it or not, i love paris hilton's perfume! i also want escada rockin rio and CSP vanille coco
* Bliss Vanilla and bergamot body butter
* guerlain kisskiss l/g in beige caprice

You're absolutely right! You've always been one of my main corruptors/enablers! There are certain people that can lead me into temptation every single time! ;)

I can't wait to try the bath products you mentioned, or the S.S.E. The reviews on MUA are pretty crazy, wildy varying. What MAC shade are you? I think I'm about an NC40 right now? I was thinking about buying the S.S.E online, but that probably isn't a very good idea!

I'll let you know how I like my new goodies once I get them! Thanks!

Can anyone kill my lemmings....? My list just grows, and grows....this is horrible! :eek: Thank god I'm on a lipgloss ban right now, my list would be neverending! Ahhhhh!

[Cherie]

Kiki - I range from an NC35 to an NC40, so you might like the SX10, but if you can try it out for yourself, certainly do! It might be of benefit to you to look at the reviewers' pictures on Makeupalley to scout for one with a similar skintone and see what shade they use in their review. That trick has saved me often! :) The mixed reviews are in part due to confused poster who believe the SSE is a foundation, when really, it is merely a very powerful concealer. Go to NM and try it if you can!

Stephanie has inspired some cravings in me too - the Beach Bunny palette and MAC Honey Lust sound amazing! I also had no idea about the Orgasm/Laguna duo, but that's bound to sell well.

Glad you've cleared that whole lemming thing. I thought what does a sleepy monkey have to do with make up??!! That's just me..being silly, Anyway, here's my list...

Foundation: I think I pretty much found my foundation, so won't be looking out for anymore. However, am curious about Diorskin and Vincent Longo water canvas, so might look into getting some samples.

Blush: Also found my favourites, so won't differ

Eye products: Heard a lot about La Prairie adn Shisheido eye creams, so might give it a go. Also lusting after Chanel abysse eye shadow.

Perfume: So Irrestible by Givenchy. Wondering how it is. And Paloma Picasso's vintage perfume in that extraordinary round black bottle for my mom.

Bath and body: Origins ginger scrub, or Fresh body sugar..haven't decided yet.

Other: A great calf length high heeled boots to replace my old tired ones, a dressy brown leather and dark green evening bag to match my newly bought shoes (it's a present, so I'm not overspending!) adn this dragonfly/lotus flower hair accessory which I can see clearly in my head, but no one's bright enough to make it for me as yet!!

[-S-]

Foundation: Kevyn's SSE

Eye products: Scott Barne's eye ice

Perfume: Chanel ( I can't think of the name of it!)

Other: Styli-Style lip stains and AV lip stains too but I'm ordering Tango tonight :)
