ladies.... i feel silly asking.... wat does "B2M" mean??

 

[Prettypackages]

I finally swatched UA and NN, they are very pretty. I have similar colors so it was an easy skip...

 

[Shellcat]

Not a silly question!

It means "Back to MAC". It is a recycling program where you can save your MAC empties and if you have 6, you can trade it in for a lipstick. At freestanding stores you can get either a lipstick, lipglass or a single regular sized eyeshadow.

Here is a thread about it:

I swear I cannot express how much I love these products. I finally switched from being obsessed with starwonder to light year. I had just been using the light peachy part of light year as a highlight, but today I decided to really use it as a full on blush and concentrated my brush on the rose veining and gold swirl... it was as if NARS deep throat and Luster had a baby. I have been searching up and down for a blush that has a similar golden sheen to Luster in ANY other color for about two years(I am all about the sheen, shimmer, and sparkle) and this has that same effect.

Heres some Stratus pictures for fellow pale ladies. I know a lot of people were wondering how this looks on paler skin. So I thought my arm was nc-15, but I guess it's already lost the little tan I was able to pick up and its back to being nc-10.



Heavy Swatches: L to R: Swirl color (idk how to describe it), mixed color, dark purpley color.
FLASH NATURAL LIGHT



Blended out on my arm with a blush brush (Hakuhodo 210). You can see it just adds a lovely hint of plummy color. It's very wearable!

thats beautiful!!!!

Has anyone tried the Moisture Gel? I just ran out my moisturizer and I'm wondering if that would be a good one for summer.

I've been using the moisture gel for about 2 months and I love it! I was previously using the Lancome Bienfait Aqua Vital (think thats what its called!) so I was looking for a similar gel moisturizer because I have oily skin and hate wearing moisturizers during the day that are heavy and greasy. My skin is pretty sensitive, and this hasn't caused me to break out at all. I would definitely recommend it!

Thanks for the tip. It's funny but I often see the high school girls around and think boy they really know what their doing. They have skills! LOL!

No problem I think the same thing, its probably because of all the great tutorials they have now on youtube !! haha Oh also i took that comparison pic for you!

Left- Razzle dazzler
Right- pleasureseeker

 

[Icecaramellatte]

Thanks!

Hey I don't know what happened to the rest of the quote but I guess I don't need Pleasure Seeker. They look virtually indistinguishable.

OMG i bought a 184 brush with my order SPECIFICALLY for this collection all thanks to Specktra LMBO

Who bought a 184 Fan brush recently? My Pro store was out of stock. The SA said everyone was asking for them with this launch. I blame Specktra. LOL!

I went to buy the 184 but no dice. So I had to get:
-Cusp of Dawn
-Celestial Kiss
-Astral
-Venus
-Strictly Plutonic

Oh and the display had the best swirls ever. Water was all green colors. I fell hard for the light green color. I liked the lime color too but Light green the best. This store didn't have the best of both green colors so I passed. I ended up picking up Water at the store down the street. But now that I look at it, I'm not sure if I got the lime green or just leftover yellow on top of regular green. Hmm I may have to get another.

Oh and I wore Earthly all over with Gilt by Association in the crease. Immortal Flower Blush with Center of the Universe and Meteoric CSG.

BTW - Off topic - but I went to the Sephora in the Meatpacking District (NYC). I mistakenly thought they carried a perfume there but wow is this store fantastic! They have lighted mirrors at all the applicator stations that have these different settings/buttons you can push like daylight, fluorescent, studio, candelight, moonlight (don't know why they have this one) but the set up of all the products is really cool too. I'm really sure how to described the displays but if anyone else has been here are there any other Sephoras like this? I was really surprised to find Armani Beauty there too.



I know just what you mean. Love colors like that.

Yes, Spanky, I was wondering what you got too. Please post.


Yes, get it. It looks like it would be really nice on you. I just wore it around the house once and I really liked it. I'm considering a backup too but I feel funny doing that not having fully tried all my products first.

 

[EekaBoo]

Is Strictly Plutonic a must have? It was originally on my want list, but I've been so sidetracked by all the other amazing items from this collection, that I haven't even thought to swatch it. 

I really like Strictly Plutonic, it's definitely a sleeper from this collection.

 

[SOMUCH2SHAY]

From the current ones available: 128 (love it for MB's), 187, 188, 235, 234.

If you are lucky, you can find the 189, 131, and 174 at CCO's. Love these three for MSF's.

Thank you Mac-Guy!

 

[SOMUCH2SHAY]

Whew...

That'll teach me not to stay away from this thread another four days! I just had to go through 800 posts to catch up. Not a good idea when I have work to do. Guess I'll be up EXTRA late tonight. Yeah, I obviously have my priorities in order...

The Origins exfoliator is ten dollars more!

Which Origins exfoliator are you referring to? The girl who does my brows rec'd the Origins Charcoal mask and I'm going to pick it up the next time I'm at Sephora. Didn't think to ask about an exfoliator.

I've left mechanical exfoliators far behind too. I would have been interested in the mask, though. Is it just me or have facial masks been out of style lately? People don't have the time to sit around and luxuriate with one?

You might have a good point.

i am loving the cheek products i got from this collection! i got star wonder, light year and ring of saturn. i wore ring of saturn yesterday and with a light hand it is one stunning blush! i also bought fire sign lipstick and have gotten plenty of compliments on it when i have worn it. plus for a lustre it is reasonably pigmented!

Fire Sign is definitely more pigmented than the usual lustres. RoS is definitely proving to be my favorite blush of the collection. But a light hand is definitely needed! I'm sure you look great lou!
