am i the only one who didn't know this?!?!

i went into the store on 79th to get some stuff for tomorrow's halloween event at work and i knew ricky's carried funky colors (i needed red), so i went there. i went in there once before and barely looked. when i got in there earlier, it was packed, considering it's got tons of costumes and all of that. when i walked in, it was like a crowd parted ways and there were ben nye and kryolan with god's shining light on it. i was on the phone with toby when i was like, "OH, MY GOD! BEN NYE!" poor boy thought it was another guy. i explained it to him, but he told me to step away from the makeup everyone looked at me, too, while i almost started crying tears of joy.

i am soooooooo happy! today, i only picked up BN's lumiere grande colour in cherry red, but i can't wait to buy moreeeeeeeee! i can't believe how big these are for only $10!

kryolan was in the corner where the huge line was, so i didn't get a chance to look there, but i'll be back, especially since it's so close to my job. though i'm on such a tight budget, i need to do weekly visits to make sure they're doing well

We will need to see your Halloween make up.

This is great news. I thought I would have to just buy Ben Nye's stuff online. Now I'll be able to see it all in person when I visit NY.

Jennifer- have you been to any other Ricky's besides the 79th street one? Do you know which has the best selection for makeup? I've only been to the ones in the Village.

wow. If only they had any around me.

yeah, too bad

Kryolan is good for punk makeup and everything. It's what Shrinkle (google her <3333) uses. You'll see how vibrant it is.

[janetsbreeze]

wow, i envy you!

You should also give the Mattese' mu line a go! I have a few bits of it, the price is great and the quality is comparable to a high end brand.

Cool! Take pics.

Hi,

I'm surprised that this wasn't mentioned in a thread before. Ricky's is where I go to buy my Ben Nye brush cleaner. Not only are Ben Nye and Kryolan there, so is Mehron. During this period Rickey's and Abracadabra are the places to go for your Halloween needs.

Hi Mimi,

I like going to the one on 23rd street between 7th and 8th aves and the one in Soho.
