MAC Heavenly creature discussion

[Pinkdollface]

Enjoy your trip Pinkdollface!

It is absolutely impossible to have enough blushes (and lippis...and eyeshadows...and glosses....and,and,and................................)!!!!!

Thanks, I'm sure I will! I love the mac pro store and the guy on the phone was so nice and helpful so I'm even more excited to go now

Really it's impossible? That's good to know

Wore Fire Sign for the first time today.

This is my favourite lipstick for 2012. I have never been able to pull off a red but this is exquisite.

I'll let you know for sure, but I think I won't get it. I like the look of the other blushes more. I have swatched Cantaloupe before and it's nice, but not as nice as some others from what I can remember.

I saw a pic of Kim K wearing it, and it sealed the deal for me! I'm not a huge KK fan, but I like a lot of her makeup looks. AND, I think Cantalope would be really nice as a subtle everyday blush (with LY as a highlight) or when I want to have the focus on my eyes or lips but don't want just a nudish blush...
I already have many of the other PRO blushes, so I can understand if there are others you want to try first. There are some WOW blushes in the PRO line for sure! Cantalope seems very demure next to them.

I have been TRYING to resist FS!! But all the love isn't helping! If it is restocked, it might end up in my cart with a Venus BU! You naughty enablers! HeeHee

I'm thinking of getting Apple Red, Salsarose, Burnt Pepper, Devil and Rhubarb. I only have 5 spaces left in my blush palette, so I'm trying not to get more. I already have Azalea.

I tried my sample of the volcanic ash exfoliator today. I had to get over my initial reaction of rubbing dirt all over my face, but I like it. The smell is fine to me and it didn't feel too harsh on my skin. I'm not going to buy it, though. I'll just use up my sample and that will be it. At least that's my story for now. However, liba has me interested in getting a sample of the eye cream next.

How are you liking the Clarisonic? Did you try the VA with it?

Of those I have Salsarose, Devil, and Azalea (thanks Shellcat baby!)... Salsarose is to die for! I haven't actually used Devil yet, but it's really pretty and SUPER pigmented (as all the PRO blushes are). Use a VERY light hand. But I'm sure you know that since you have Azalea and she is BRIGHT BRIGHT and BOLD!
I've been considering Rhubarb too. But my one empty slot is going to Cantalope, so I can get some diversity from all the bold blushes I've purchased lately. She'll be the only tame blush in that palette, so it fills a need in there.
Have a blast shopping those PRO goodies darlin! There's no PRO store near my home in Ohio, but when I'm in Vegas I go CRAZY!! It's much more fun to go play in the store... but also MUCH MORE DANGEROUS! LOL

Can you use the VAE w/ the Clarisonic? I've never tried using any type of "exfoliating" face wash with it, b/c I'm always scared the combo will be too harsh. But maybe I'm just being overly cautious?

I wouldn't do it. The combination is too harsh and it will most likely harm your skin short and/or longterm. If you want stronger exfoliation with the Clarisonic, just use a stronger brush.

I went to Nordstrom to buy the Clarisonic during the anniversary sale and the SA said not to use any cleanser/exfoliant with beads etc.. because those can get caught in the small motor. HTH.

Thanks, that's what I've always thought. Just didn't know if it was different since I saw the question somewhere up thread.

I plan on using my trusty 131 with them! I don't know why I didn't get Salsarose before, because I've swatched it and loved it. I've been liking orange blushes since this year (hello Optimistic Orange and Modern Mandarin!) so that's why I want Devil. I do not have a pure red blush (the closest I have right now is BOA), so that's the reason I want Apple Red or maybe Flame Red if I like it better. Rhubarb has been on my list for some time as well, so I'll just swatch it to make sure I really want it.
I haven't really been shopping for pro goodies in a while so I'm really looking forward to it. I will make sure that I don't have too much money on my card so I can't overspend

Was it Ron by any chance? He is the sweetest of them all...

I'm not sure, but it might have been him. He sounded cute

I agree! I only use philosophy wash with mine....not even interested in scrubs anymore since Clarisonic!

 

[Mac-Guy]

Me neither. It was the best investment I made for my dry skin. While the initial money I had to spent was much higher than a regular face scrub, I saved so much money as I don't need to buy any more exfoliators like VAE. The best of all is that my dry patches are history.

Ron is a sweetheart. He is really committed to helping and is very patient. Last time Daniel helped me. I never noticed him because I usually get helped by Ron. Funny thing was that D recognized ME instead of the other way around. (Hey, I know you! Aren't you always here first when a new collection comes out?)

They look similar in the pan, but nothing alike when swatched. I think I have a picture somewhere. Let me try and find it.
