Best 'wet look' shadow for lids of a certain age?.?...

I love the shimmery "wet" look of certain eyeshadows, but don't want anything that will make my lids look crepey.

I've found Mac has some decent cream shadows, but i'd like to find something more sheer.

Any suggestions? Has anyone tried the Rimmel shine shadows?

I find a mat cream shadow more flattering for most age groups; Guerlain has little pots of cream shadow that I love; they are pricey though and I'm certain they can be found in cheaper makes. Applied with a small flat brush, they are easy to work with and seem to not accentuate the effects of aging.....

ocbird-

I love a soft shimmery look too, especially when I'm going out for the evening. I have trouble finding creme shadows that don't end up in the creases of my eyelids though. I'm wondering if there is something that can be applied to the lids before a creme shadow that will stop the creasing? The foundation trick doesn't seem to work for me on anything other than powder shadows.

(Btw.. I need help from my fellow forumers. I've been a member for a while now, but didn't subcribe at first when the forum became pay-only. I can't remember if there is a way to go in and edit posts once they're posted? Thanks in advance for any advice given!)

Are you drawn to a certain color of rose?

I too am a pink lover. I have more pink roses than any other color and I still cant get enough of them. I got a gift certificate to David Austins for xmas last year and made a selection of 8 roses to buy. When I looked at my cart 7 out of the 8 were pink. LOL I'm not really into red roses, but I do have a few and I do like them. I'm really not a fan of dark roses at all (Munsted wood, etc) but its probably because those tend to turn black in my hot South Florida sun. Also I like to make a lot of bouquets with my roses and the dark ones always stick out like sore thumbs. I am, however, currently on an orange rose kick. I recently purchased Lady Emma Hamilton (which promptly died and I'm so sad about it, waiting till next season to get her again) and Pat Austin which I love (although the flowers blow quickly). This year I also got Fragrant Cloud, which I worried would look too dark and gaudy, but somehow has pink undertones that make it blend fabulously with my other roses. I'm loving my Lady Bird and Broadway and Papi Delbard and Easy Does It and when they bloom I make all apricot/orange bouquets matched with a few warm pinks and the effect is delightful. I'm all about the orange pink blends now. :) And I'm loving Gilbert Becaud above. But boy, I cant seem to find a seller!!!

This may be way overkill for you, but I'll share it anyway! I lived for many years with a male cat who was initially prone to bladder/kidney infections, and later, diabetic. He was very picky about the cleanliness of his litter box, and given his urinary disabilities, I went through a lot of trial and error. What worked best was the Rubbermaid under-the-bed storage box for rolls of wrapping paper -- huge, but it worked! Fortunately, my mud room had space for it! It was large enough that Smudge could always find clean spots and it absolutely solved both problems: his "Not clean enough here, so I'll just go somewhere else" one and his "Oops, missed the box" one. Despite his health issues, and the hexes my DH tried to put on him, Smudge lived to the ripe old age of 19!

Wet or Dry Cat Food - Which is Best?
Q
Comments (16)
Hill's the maker of Science Diet and a lot of prescription dry foods also sponsers and advertizes at Vet Schools nationwide. Science Diet in particular is full of corn. Vets are mostly not trained nutritionists any more than doctors are. Wet food is closer to what wild cats eat then dry is. Domestic cats are not very different biologically than wild cats. Asian wild cats eat mice and birds. They don't drink much water because they get it from their kills. Cats don't have a high thirst drive. Domestic cats feed only dry food are commonly chronically dehydrated. Urinary problems are a huge problem. Dry food is mostly carbs and cats don't process carbs well at all. Dry food is like cat candy which is why many of them love it but obesity is very common in domestic cats in the USA. Lite foods actually have more carbs. Dry food does not clean cat's teeth, they don't chew it in the first place. Their teeth are not designed for chewing. Dry food is much more convenient for cat owners but it isn't best for your cat. Do you think they feed tigers dry food at the zoo? No, they feed them raw meat! BTW Innova EVO and Nature's Variety Raw Instinct are two dry cat foods that do not contain grains. I just bought the Innova and it was only $3 more than Science Diet. (It is taking me longer to train DH than the cats, they'd be thrilled with 100% wet food fed twice a day) Wellness, Felidea, Innova, Nature's Variety are excellent foods but...almost ANY canned food is better than the most expensive dry food. There are grocery store brands that are lower carb than "premium" brands. They might not be organic and do have by products in them but they are better for kitty than 100% dry. Here is a link that might be useful: Little Big Cat

New, weird cat behavior with wet food
Q
Comments (52)
I wonder if you will see this 5 years later. My cat who is 3yrs old has been doing the same exact thing as you mentioned. I googled it and found your post. Ironically it is also with Fancy Feast. Salmon and Shrimp... Her and her sister eat dry food maining but I give them FFeast here and there. She usually devours it but the last few times she meows for it, dives in to the plate, eats a little then darts away from the plate like something scared her. Then she runs around the house like she just ate a bag of cat nip dives into a box and starts to claw it to shreds. When I call to her and say it's ok, whats wrong she starts to lick herself and clams down. A few minutes later she will go back and finish it... She eats dry food with no issues so I dont think it's her teeth.. They are both indoor cats. It is almost like she gets wild because it's fish? Like a hunt feeling.. I read all of these comments and I will have her teeth checked. But wanting to ask if you ever determined the issue? Did it stop? Was it her teeth? I am going to try a different can of wet food, see if she does it with that as well. It was just very interesting that your story is so similar even down to the type and flavor of cat food...

Sass, unfortunately this forum doesn't allow edits, I wish they would sometimes. Homeportfolio has that feature and it's nice.

I think for "mature" skin matte is usually more flattering. The shine also highlights imperfections and looks better on youthful skin. This was my observation doing facials/makeup in the past.

Well shoot! mitchdesj, I could sit and preview my posts all day long, and then as soon as I post it I find a typo I missed. Why is it cute when someone else typos, but it's so annoying when I do it? LOL!

ocbird- My daughter has used the Rimmel shine shadows and they look very pretty on her. I haven't tried them myself yet. They do have some very pretty colors. :)

Sass, I think we all get used to the typos on thathomesite; over time, you hardly notice them....
At the cooking forum, the most memorable one was in the title of a thread, someone posted: puppy seeds instead of poppy seeds;
everyone still remembers that one.

It's just like paint. Flat paint covers imperfections.

Keeping eye shadow where you put it and avoiding creases--my daughter swears by Bobby Brown's base for eye make up. Says everyone asks how she keeps it from making lines or disappearing. I have used Eye Fix from Elizabeth Arden -- I like her Lip Fix too.
