Love SW and AP on you, Pinkdollface!

I think I will get AP after all even though today was finally the day I got Chanel Excessive

! Could not pass because the poor loner had been laying around at the store for 6 months already since I first spotted it, and now it was 30% off!!

I'm not saying you should get it but..........it's Beautiful Basics, Creamy, Pigmented, Fabulous, Gorgeous, EVERYONE that bought it loves it! Lots of pics of it in the Chanel Spring 2013 thread.

So you better get it

I am skipping the Chanel quad b/c I have Variations, which seems quite similar. (but hey, I love to be enabled otherwise). The 2013 Spring highlighter looks gorgeous. I would want comparison swatches to be sure it is unique before I forked out cash for it. It would probably sit in my vanity b/c the pattern is so pretty I wouldn't want to destroy it by wearing the product...

Thank you

I don't like nudes on me. I can only wear them with smokey eyes and even then I prefer other more rosy MLBB colours. I sold my Creme d'Nude, because I just didn't wear it.
Who needs nudes when you can rock brights and vampies like noones business?

They all look amazing on you but if I had to pick a favourite it has to be Party Parrot. What liner do you normally use with it?

Congrats! Excessive was my gateway into Chanel. Happily enabled by elegant.

@ Pinkdollface - Your lipstick application is always so clean and precise. What do you do? Are you wearing liners?

What she said! The quad is lovely and I don't think it's properly captured in pics. It usually looks brown to me in photos, but it actually has some very nice purple tones. It's a very soft, feminine and pretty palette.

I'm wearing Firm Form today and let me just say it again: Just My Type is the perfect lip liner for it.

I first applied Firm Form and patted it in, then I just lined the edges with JMT, thinking I'd have to go back in and blend it with a brush, but it matched beyond perfectly - I didn't even need to blend - I just did a second layer of FF close to the pencil line and that's all it needed. SO MUCH BETTER than Nightmoth, which looks nice, but changed the whole color.


Edit: the rest of my make up is just a thin wing with the black Super Slick liner and a little Brains & Brawn - the taupe one - from All Woman to even out the lids. Nothing else! Looks great. I feel very stylish!!

SCORE!!! Pinkdollface...on all! Awesome!
Here are pics of me wearing the lipsticks. In order Pink Pigeon, Party Parrot, Strong Woman and Absolute Power. I'm not wearing any lipliner underneath them and I tried to do it fast, so if the application isn't perfect that's why. Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot are brighter in real life. My camera has problems picking up bright pink shades. It also has a problem with purples, but Strong Woman is really close to how it looks in real life. When I wore SW last week I had Magenta underneath it and that made it closer to Heroine in case you don't have Heroine and wanted it.

I couldn't find a NYX dupe for Just My Type in my stash. Expresso isn't anywhere near dark enough, and is way too warm and brown. Black Berry is just, well, black. The closest I came was mixing those two pencils together. The color was close, but it still reads a bit warmer than Just My Type.

I just broke down and bought the illuminating powder. If I dip any further I won't have any Archie's funds!
