liba, thank you for the tips. : )

foreverjenn, one of the primers I have been using is strobe cream (have always been using it with foundation). I have dry skin, so I always look for something (foundation/powder/primer/MSF) that could give me glow on face. I am not a expert in make up like some people here and still learning here and there : P , hope it helps.

Yeah!!! I called one of my local Belks and they had 2 BP left. I had the store hold one for me. Gonna have my MIL pick me up for me tomorrow. Sooo excited to get it.

That's amazing! Congrats!

I just bought Rimmel Kate Moss 09 n I'm sorry 2 say it blows Love Goddess clear out the water... Love Goddess seemed dull on my NC50 skin but 09 is exactly wut reddened pink dreams r made of!!! @ $4.99 its an even better value the the infamous L G dupe Revlon Cherries in the Snow, which is 9.99 locally n has been sold out lately... Rimmeil also has a dupe 4 Yung Rapunxel n at 4.99 it might b a better value 4u vs Revlon Va-va-violet if u missed out... Jus' sayin

I want a deep purple lipstick to add to my collection.. I was looking as one from Glamourdaze collection..I know I won't wear this color a lot so I'll probably go with Rimmel

I wish we could order from other maccosmetics.com sites that still have the products available.

Sadly UK prices are higher than US prices, the BP costs £23.50 here which is almost $38!

I am not familiar with a lot of cosmetic ingredients, I only know the basics, so I had to look up most of the FM BP ingredients in a cosmetic dictionary and make sure I had the spelling correct on each one. It's like looking at a foreign language! So, I am already confused again on what ingredient does what, but the 2 that I remember that I thought possibly contributed to the positive BP reviews were:
1) Nylon-12: absorbs oil, feels silky, and doesn't settle into fine lines or wrinkle. This probably contributes to the "soft-focus" look of the BP.
2) Bismuth Oxychloride: powder that has a shimmery, pearlescent finish. This may be what gives the great "glowy" finish everyone keeps talking about with the FM BP. I read that this is a key ingredient in most "mineral" makeup, but some people with sensitive skin can react to it. What I read is that this ingredient is good in small amounts in a product. I think this ingredient was near the end of the FM BP ingredients so I am thinking there is only a small amount of it in the FM BP.

Hope that info is helpful CartoonChic!

It's very helpful. Thanks! Now I know what to look for in other products.

I'm so heartbroken yall....I just received an e-mail from Macy's about my Love Goddess that they're supposed to send to me...they're saying it's no longer in stock!

After waiting in line for over 2 hours on launch day, doing the Search & Send process with an very unhappy Mac artist,and then fixing her mistakes she made on my order with Macy's customer service on the phone, this is the result. I'm truly, truly heartbroken over this, since I personally feel like I went through a lot of trouble to get the lipstick, but there's literally nothing else I can do...At least Mac Glamour Daze is coming soon, and there's some lovely lipsticks from that collection that'll probably be more easily accessible.

I'm sorry about your Love Goddess. I hope you're able to get one.

It's very different. The SMP is an almost translucent powder that is semi-matte, whereas FM has a more noticeable sheen. I consider the former as a setting powder and the latter one a finishing powder. HTH.

What's the difference between a setting powder and a finishing powder? I've also seen translucent powders mentioned and blot powders. I get confused with all of these different powders and their purpose.

You can get Revlon lipsticks a lot cheaper at Walmart or at Ulta with coupons if that helps. $9.99 for a Revlon lipstick seems super high to me. I normally pay about $5 or less.

Ok... So... I was thinking of getting Legendary but I also have Launch away. I saw the swatches of them but was curious y'alls thoughts. I'm trying to keep my cost down so I can get stuff from the Glamour Daze collection. So do you think there is enough of a difference that I need that too?

Mine too!! It's the perfect red for me!! I even added a lil Scarlet Ibis on the inner portion of my lips and it added a nice pop to it

I'm absolutely amazed at the price you guys pay for Revlon products. Here a lippie costs around 14€ which is about 18$. God bless eBay! (in this particular case)

O cool Only problem is my "local" Ulta is too far away n my local Walmart is GHETTO lol... I dont mind a BOGO 50% off at Rite Aide, Walgreens or CVS and coupons will definitely help soften that $9.99 + tax blow to my purse lol, thanx
