HIIIIIIIIII HG!!!!

Rockin' hugs right back!

Oh So Fair is the ultimate retro all over face powder for me, so I feel like I don't need anything else to top it. Not on an Arthurian BP quest.

However, that Careblend formula is great - it shaves off 10 damn years and never feels anything but gentle on my sensitive skin. If there's a higher level to reach, I'd say add some SPF and bump up the moisturizing skin care element. We'll get there eventually - maybe by the time I need to replace my current compact.

I had a horrendous time trying to locate that Coty powder you suggested - I wound up calling off the search.

Anyhow, hope you're doing great, dear!

Briar rose was also a bust for me. I really didn't like any of the beauty powders in the VV collection.

Face and Body foundation. I hate that stuff. It's so streaky, a complete mess.

 

[ashtraygirl]

I don't get prep + prime face: hate it
I'm not a fan of their foundations - but the mineralize satin one is nasty
MSFs I don't get....

 

[ThePowderPuff]

Oh yes, forgot Satin Taupe. How can anyone make a nice smokey eye with that? I look like I got punched in the face.

 

[leah2412]

I agree, I didn't like the face and body foundation either.

 

[DJ_Roxas]

I can't stand the Satin Taupe e/s it looks dirty on me, All That Glitters e/s too much for me and it looks weird swatched or on me. The mascara's they have not my thing. Dazzleglass is way too sticky on me and too much glitter and the Desert Rose it's way too easy with this blush to over-do it even when I put a little on.

 

[Cocopai]

Woodwinked!!! It looks insanely orange on my skin! Like metallic shock orange. Not pretty!
Oh, and i dont like blankety lipstick either, it makes me look like a corpse.

I'm new to MAC and haven't tried much, but from what I have tried...

Fix+ -- What the hell? Was one of my first purchases because everyone on here ranted and raved about how damn amazing this stuff is - I can't get it to work, looks like rain drops on my face. I want to make it work for me!

Paint Pots -- I bought Painterly, again being told it'll help stop creasing and making colours vibrant - I couldn't even get it to go on my damn lid. Now I just use UDPP & Milk Jumbo Pencil and I'm #winning.

Soft & Gentle MSF -- Once again - "You have to get every MSF EVARRRRR!" - Holy shit pore-city on my big pores and greasy looking as hell on my combination skin.

Prep & Prime Skin Refined Zone -- I bought this in hopes it would help mask my big pores and control oil, like it says it will do. I used this once, applied foundation & powder over top and it literally looked like I had a sunburn that was peeling. My skin was just peeling off my damn nose!

Pigments -- I bought Gold Stroke (I think that's it, too lazy to go check) from a blog sale, simply because I was uber excited about MAC - haha. I actually haven't used this because I fear mess everywhere. I'd love to try Naked, Vanilla & Melon more than anything but I'd want them pressed - I can't justify buying a pigment jar (esp full price) I'm never going to get to the bottom of, no matter how pretty it is!

Lipgloss -- I don't like lipgloss in general, so I haven't even bothered to buy any. I have a couple from a blog sale, but I don't use them. :/

I'm pretty sure that's it so far - I'm seeing a lot of people hating on Woodwinked and Satin Taupe - I actually just bought these and am waiting for them to be delivered - I REALLY hope they work out, lmao.

LOL, funny!

 

[deidre]

Pigments - but probably because I have no patience to work with loose products!

You're right that they're messy, and while i do usually go for pressed powder shadows, sometimes the loose powder pigments are so beautiful that they're worth the trouble.

I'm not in love or lust with Blacktrack Fluidline. MAC really needs to make their Fluidlines waterproof.

 

[rubytitania]

Woodwinked! I know it looks great on lots of people but on me (NW15 redhead) it turns a hideous orange. Such a shame because it looks stunning in the pan. I also dislike Bronze, Antiqued and Amber Lights because they're just too warm and make me look sick. Plumage is another one. I SO want to love it because the shade is amazing, but it's a sheer chalky mess Carbon is also a really crappy black.

i agree with you...on me, plumage just reads plain black instead!

I agree! I've heard black black chromaline is much better though! I'm waiting for mine to come in and hopefully it works better! *crossing fingers*

MSF Natural !

 

[shordeecat]

fix + and the magically cool liquid powder. BOOO

 

[chocula]

Smoulder
Guacamole shadow (horrified that this might come back in a collection)
The mineralize shadows and blushes
