The more I try the volcanic ash exfoliator, the more I like it. I might need to get a backup. Anyone try the eye cream? Thoughts?

I like the VAE too, but I don't think I'll end up buying it. I also like the smell of it is that weird?
I've been using the eye cream for a couple of months. I'm only 21 and I don't have problems around my eye, so I'm not sure if my opinion on it is usefull. It's very moisturizing. Sometimes my eyes can be a bit irritated if I have tried on a couple of eyelooks and take them off. I feel like this helps with that. I'm not really sure what else to tell about it. I'm using it as precaution.

i feel terrible, but i'm sending back my earthshine and cut a caper.

i tried both on today to make absolutely sure, but earthshine was really unnatural looking on my skin, even blended out and applied with a light hand. cut a caper looks awesome swatched, but on my lips, doesn't work at all.

total haul now includes light year and star wonder, fire sign, supernova, and sky. super happy with what i've got. maybe i can even score a center of the universe and venus soon

Maybe you can try selling/swapping it here or on MUA? That way someone can enjoy the products and they wouldn't get destroyed.

Mac-Guy... I can't find Apple Red on the Pro site unless I search the name. Then it takes me to the pro pans list. But when I go straight to the pro pans it isn't there. Very weird. Maybe since it's just been recently brought back it hasnt been processed on the site correctly. Hmmm?

That's so weird. It's there when I go straight to the Pro pans. The release was a couple of months ago - I few weeks before HS if I remember correctly. Can you add it to your cart?

All this BU talk I decided to look through my box of them and found out that I bought 2 extra Venus lippies lol. I know I'll use them but I totally forgot that I got 2! Really want another purple Magnetic Attraction but I'll probably have to settle with whatever I get in the mail.

So I've been waiting on my Magnetic Attraction to come for longer than shipping usually takes from nordies. I was getting a bit impatient, and about to demand a reshipment if it didn't arrive this week. Well, this morning, it was delivered. AND MORE. TWO!!!!!  I called and they said I could keep both :yaay: To be honest, I'm quite glad I got two. I was really hoping for one with tons of red (the berry color is so gorgeous), and if I had only gotten the right one I would've been very tempted to return for a red one. The swirls on them are a bit wonky though. lol.  

wow your soooo lucky, my magnetic attraction broke last week and I orded another one. I wish I could get a bonus one lol.

Lol cute! I use to loooooooove Jem.

Still do. It's funny. When the subject comes up, I dive into Youtube and recognize the episodes from back in the day. Sounds really old AND probably lame, but hey, who cares....

Here's my near final haul for the Heavenly Creature collection. It's only near final because I want an Earthshine BU and I may still get Invincible Light. I may also reswatch Pleasureseeker to confirm my decision to skip it. But I'm done with everything else.

Earthshine
Center of the Universe
Star Wonder

Bright Moon
Earthly
Neo Nebula
Magnetic Attraction
Universal Appeal
Sky

Fire Sign x2
Venus x2
Cut a Caper x2
Cusp of Dawn x2

Meteoric x2
Celestial Kiss x2
Astral x2
Galaxy Rose x2
Strictly Plutonic

286 Brush

Even though they're not listed as part of this collection, I got the 130, 128 and 234 brushes to use with the MSFs and MESs. I already own the 187 brush. I didn't purchase any blush because I favor NARS and La Femme more.

I just added everything. The math tells me I spent way too much. My heart says joy has no price tag.

That is indeed priceless!!

And I'm glad for my wallets sake though this will be the most I spend on one collection this year unless the holiday collection is earth shattering!

Not lame at all! I miss that show so much. There hasn't been anything like it since.

True, true....

 

[MACerette]

Since Liba sang an ode to Stratus it has been lingering in my mind. Is there a similar colour in Nars (Sin?) by any chance? Otherwise I must go hunting once more. Try not to...

 

[CartoonChic]

Hahah.

Lol, my credit card isn't happy at all.

But I sure am.

Mine knows that feeling too, of being ALL squeezed out (till the very last drop)

I don't have any Nars blushes, so I can't help you on that one, but I really love Stratus. I've worn it as a contour and also as a full cheek color. I bought one that had very equal amounts of the dark and light swirls, which works well for my skin tone. You can apply it without buffing and have a noticeable shimmer, or you can buff it in really well and only have a hint of sheen, not to mention you can apply it heavily, lightly or build it up in layers. One thing that looks great is a light application all over the cheeks, blend down well, then do another layer on top just in the contour. Another thing that's nice is to use it just as a contour, but blending upwards so you get a little color fading up the cheek, then apply a touch of brighter, softer color on top in the apples, like Immortal Flower or Lovecloud.

I still say it's better to try it on in person to know for sure if it works for you. It's definitely more for people who like a strong cheek look. There are going to be other blushes this fall with a similar color (although it looks like with more red and/or brown than Stratus), so if you prefer standard powder blush to Mineralize, you could hold off.
