Do you prefer loose or pressed eyeshadows?

Do you prefer loose or pressed eyeshadows? Why?

Yesterday's posts about Bare Escentuals' new pressed eyeshadows (and your responses) had me thinking about this--I prefer pressed in general. They're more convenient to use, less messy, and generally work better for me. I do love some loose colors, but...

Have you slimmed down your beauty routine for summer?

Have you slimmed down your beauty routine for summer?

Have you slimmed down your beauty routine for summer? Or do you do more now that you have the heat to contend with?

How do you help minimize fall out from eyeshadows? Any techniques or products that help you prevent or minimize fall out?

What are the most unique eyeshadows you own? Shades that you just don't think can be duped?

MAC Rye is a shade that I loved and used a lot that I didn't really feel I could find elsewhere (but I haven't used it in some time, so perhaps something has come out since!).
