Three LOL, I meant ten more days of waiting (OMG! Can you tell I can't wait? LOL.). Thursday can't come soon enough. The good thing is my list is all set. I shan't deviate from my list!

Just Crew for me now.

Jaunty is pretty but its going to disappear quickly on my lids especially in the humid/hot weather.

I was finally able to get to a MAC store (80 miles each way), and I asked about this collection. I was taken into a small "special" room and shown the products, but not allowed to touch! What??? The item that really looks interesting is the body oils. Has anyone been able to see how sheer the body oils are? And they didn't have the tote, which was sad because I want to see the actual size of that. However, I was invited to a special event on June 2nd, just hope there are items left!

Does this come out today, or Thursday? Sorry if this is redundant, I thought it was today, then I thought I read Thursday? I can't impatiently wait much longer... Thanks!

I also would like to emphasize that the Nautical Navy is well pigmented. I saw in some swatches that it was meh... But applied on the eye it's a pretty, pigemented colour.

And Crew is still gorg

 

[2browneyes]

So, I think I will need the brush and the makeup bags....that's about it. Nothing is really grabbing me as of right now.

Off topic: Lou, LOVE ur new pic! Looking good

 

[Knope2012]

Thanks!

The collection is set to launch in the US in stores next Thursday, May 24th. It may pop up online/in stores before that though.

Ok, off topic, but I just wanted to share:
Just got my NARS pro membership!

Awe, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can sell it. It might be a good shade for somebody who has stronger yellow undertones and/or wants to use it more as a setting powder rather than a bronzer. If you decide to keep it, try to mix it with a a strong red-based blush. Apple Red b/p has just been repromoted as a Pro item, which might the best color to turn NoB into a more wearable shade for NW folks.


PS: I was so tempted to get NoB just for the name, so I don't blame you for picking it. I just knew it wouldn't look right on my NW skin; IMO, it does not really work on NW complexions (pale or dark). I'm still bummed that LLB from SB was not repromoted. It's the most natural bronzer ever.

My SA recommended Nude on Board for me but I am a bit skeptical (we weren't allowed to try them on, just swatch). She said since it was the lightest it would suit me better (I'm NW20) but I remembered what you said about yellow undertones and I definitely have pink.

I'd really like the Prolongwear formula since it was so creamy but I would rather have the correct colour. Do you think Sun Dipped would work better or one of the other two shades?


Thank you so much for your help.

I think Mac-Guy is right. The redder Sun Dipped will be better for you. I'm NC 15 myself. I just received Sun Dipped and Soft Sand and I already got Nude on Board last week. My first impression is that NoB looks best on me, followed by Soft Sand and SD looks a bit off on me. At least if I apply it the way I usually apply bronzer. I can imagine it looks better if I use NoB for that and then some SD on my cheeks for some extra dimension. I will have to play around with them a bit. The formulations are good.

Thanks MACerette! Do you prefer one formula over the other?

 

[MACerette]

Thanks MACerette! Do you prefer one formula over the other?

Not yet. Both feel good. However, I noticed that SD was a bit silkier to the touch, but both formulas are good (pro longwear and regular bronzers). You could also try the matte bronzer from the permanent line if you're not sure about the colours. I like that one too.

I'm so hesitant about buying a Bronzer. I've never worn one, don't know if I'll look ridiculous in it and/or regret buying it. I don't even know which one I should have my eye on. NC20 As far as Crew, it seems like a lot of people are using it as a blusher. Does it look good on NC20's? Are u guys loving this product or what?[/I ]I'm trying to control myself b/c I know I'm going to go nuts for the Red Racer q(I hope) and I'm hoping TCAS and Sail La Vie will work for me. I know there has been a lot of positive talk about the LG and RR LS, but what about TCAS & SLV? I'm trying to find a pretty nude color that works for me, as well as an orange. I did not like Vegas Volt (I think that is what I tried on) buti wasn't wearing any eye MU when I tried it on. Decisions, decisions. Any advice for the ultimate MUST HAVES for the pale people from HS collx? I have to have a medical procedure the day before, so I don't want to be clouded by (g-d forbid) something more is wrong with me and why the f--- not buy anything I want. Sorry, I'm venting and babbling. Just nerve wracked with life issues, not fun MU issues. Thank you in advance.
