Quote: So would you recommend an Earthshine with only a little burgundy for pale ladies? I'd still like it to pull plummy if possible!

Yes! It will still pull plummy even if you have the tiniest amount of burgundy as it is insanely pigmented. Go for it, it's the most unique MSF in this collection.

This did happen to someone in here I think. What did that person end up doing?

UPS recycles their tracking #s. Give it a few hours and check again later. It'll update itself w/ current tracking information.

I hardly wear blue, and when I wear it I choose the darkest blue possible :S I bought universal appeal because I'm trying to embrace purples in my life, but it's so difficult to apply and don't get the impression that I was punched in the face =/

Definitely agree with the blue, darker the better! Why not just make UA a crease and or liner color?

Yay, thank you! It looks so pretty I was desperate to make it work any application tips?

I want to add one more thing to my order. Should it be Ring of Saturn or Galaxy Rose?

What do you use more, blush or lipgloss?

Blush, I think. I really should stick with Ring of Saturn as I have 4 unopened MAC glosses due to waiting to finish others.

I've been looking at swatches and trying to narrow down my list, but I really don't want to buy all of these so I need help narrowing it down even more!

I am definitely getting Light year and Star Wonder MSFs. they're the only things I'm 100% sure of! Everything else is up for consideration:

- Astral / Meteoric CSG - I definitely want at least one of these, maybe both. Is one a clear winner?

- Earthly MES - This looks pretty but is it a must have? Any dupes?

- Universal Appeal MES - This is exactly the sort of colour I usually go for which is partly why I'm thinking I should skip it. I must have something similar - can anyone think of anything?

- Sky MES - Kind of the opposite of Universal Appeal. It's not the kind of colour I usually go for so I don't know how much I'd wear it, but it looks really unique in the swatches I've seen. Is it?

- Fire Sign, Pleasureseeker and Venus lipsticks - If I had to choose ONE, which should it be?

I feel like I ought to be so much better prepared for this collection...

Astral and Meteoric are tied in my opinion. You can't go wrong with either one. So I guess it's just a preference of whether or not you want something that's more peach or more pink in color. I would choose Fire Sign. I really like the color. I can't speak about the MES because I haven't tried them yet.

Lol, well there you go! Plus, I've noticed CSG tend not to sell out as quickly as blush. So you may be able to pick it up later if you like.

 

[CartoonChic]

The bolded are the two I'd recommend. I don't think there is a dupe for Universal Appeal. The rest I'm not sure about!

Wait, you don't think Earthshine is similar to Universal Appeal?

 

[CartoonChic]

This did happen to someone in here I think. What did that person end up doing?

I don't think you have to do anything. It's an old tracking number that they recycled. It'll update with your info.

I feel the next wave of swatches about to happen. By the way, Richelle created a Heavenly Creature thread in the Swatch forum. It'll probably be helpful to see everything in one place.

I got a smashed Star Wonder yesterday - but MAC is sending me another - HOPEFULLY very pink & plum colored & little gold. I didn't see much plum or pink in the crumbles. I brushed on some of the plum that I could find & then buffed it out - very very very beautiful. Too bad the re-send will not arrive until next week now.

 

[Richelle83]

Not sure if it's been posted but Karen has her swatches up http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/...ure-collection-shoots-for-the-shimmery-stars/

I do not like Sky on her arm though.

 

[Richelle83]

No not at all, at least looking at my swatches I don't see the similarity. I'm too lazy to get off the chaise right now but I'm pretty sure Earthshine is a plum red/gold thing going on and UA is a reddish based purple. I have to swatch them wet/dry to make sure.

Is anyone else watcHinG the season finale of OC Housewives? How stupid, fake

On OC Housewives that girl Sarah should be invited to every party as far as I'm concerned she's a crazy drunk. I'm having my wisdom teeth out tomorrow and I'm nervous. I hope everything goes well for you! I'm just petting my new HC MSF's and looking at everyones swatches. My kind of therapy.

Crystalis 007 We r mouth mystery twins!/B] How did ur wisdom teeth pull go? My gums were killing me on Wed. But since than they've calmed down alot. My right cheek is all puffy. I look like a squirrel packing acorns in for the winter but just on one side. I want to go buy some LS, but I don't want anyone to look at my grill, as I'm all stitched up in front & it looks really gross. ROFL about h'wives. Did u notice her pupils, she looked like she was doing a little more than drinking & eating bows off cakes. I hope ur feeling better.

That's a good idea xD

....oh no!!!
I always really hurts me to see broken MSFs etc....unfortunatly I have had this a few times in the past too.

But I so glad that you will get a new one Elegant....and I hope that it will be very beautiful with a lot of pink and plum!

Elegant is there a MAC collection that goes perfectly smooth for you?!?! Star Wonder is definitely a gorgeous color, the more plum you get the more unique it looks compared to the other pink MSF's.

 

[Milegolas]

Finally!!!!!!!! I left a message by the door: "Mr Postman, can you please knock on my window if I don't answer the door?" (because it's impossible to hear it!) Thank you fedex, you made my day!

Okay..cut a caper is now my favorite lipstick..and I applied solar ray very quickly with my fingers just to feel like I had been kissed by the sun *__* but what brush would you guys recommend for applying mineralize blush?

We have substitute UPS dudes right now & I think they just throw things. Its super pretty. I probably should have waited to pick it out in person.
