Fanfare is a near exact dupe!

would you say warmth of coral is must have for nc20? any dupe??

i really love it and am nc20. i do not have a dupe (and i have many peachy shades). i think it warms my face up and looks fabulous. very easy to build the colour up too.

I always take my make up with me on plane while traveling. I travel a lot and never had an "accident".
A few weeks ago I dropped my MSF from WW collection on a marble floor

but nothing happened to it! It was closed when it fell so it might had helped. I was too scared to look at the floor and see the mess but everything was fine! Now I have always a thick carpet where my vanity is and where I do my nake up just in case it saves anything...

I'm really sorry to hear that. I think the most prone to fall apart are the ones that are put together in any geometric configuration (stripes, inserts, nipples, etc...) as the two or three different colors don't adhere together. Same goes for the marbelized MES. The least fragile, IMO, are the swirled blushes. Just watch out for cracks - even small ones - as one crack is enough to make the whole thing fall apart.

It won't stop me from buying more mineralize products, but I won't take them with me on travels anymore.

So I was hunting around for Rare Find, turns out I have it... *SMH* I still haven't played with this collex...

I have to report the new Clinique Lid Smoothie Antioxidant 8-Hour Eye Colour works fabulous with the Semi-Precious eye shadows. I used the "Lick-orice" color today with the Blue Sheen and it turned out really great. The Clinique eye colour provides a nice sticky base for the eye shadow to stick to - without adding a lot more sparkle. Hope this helps!

What do you guys think, is Faux Gold close to Mythical? Of course not every FG is the same, but you know.

Not at all. Mythical is much much cooler and more red.

I have been trying to search (without success) for a dupe for Faux Gold since I missed out. Does anyone know of anything (any brand, any price!) that is close? Or if anyone has an extra Faux Gold I can buy it from them... or if anyone is considering returning one- PM me first, I will buy it from you

Just go to ebay. There are several on offer, though the price is quite steep (45 bucks), but as you said "any price," I assume that will be ok. Enjoy!

maybe try the new hot paprika thats coming with the styledriven collex (with more orange obviously but u can always put over a burgundy PP or shadow)

Idyllic

 

[Piarpreet]

yes sir...and its quite close to artifact ive seen a swatch and i was like...damn! this might fly if people find out lol. I still dont like using PPs but for the ones who were hunting artifact...there u go!

 

[Mac-Guy]

Well, it's not quite like Artifact. I still think that Arti is the much nicer color as it is more red-based, whereas Idyllic is more brown-tinged. Having said that, it's probably easier to buy Idyllic than trying to hunt down Artifact.
