I got the compact and i was so excited that i just had to use it before i got home!

I have a retractable brush, but i don't always carry it around in my purse.

Different how? Darker, lighter? Warmer, cooler? something else?

It softens the skin texture & color corrects which amazed me.

I'm so pissed I didn't get the pin. I could cry. I didn't know about the $75 dollar thing. A--holes at MAC, such a love hate relationship!

I only spent $60 on the website and called them to see if they can add in the pin and they did. I received it separately today. so try calling

LOL!! Seriously! I'm as pale as it gets! I wonder what lip liner would be a good to pair with GND?

i used NYX Pale pink liner and it toned it down a bit.

I don't know if you got a response to this dear. The Nars powder is a reflecting powder. It give the face a soft blurred 'photoshop' appearance, also reduces the appearance of large pores. It photographs better than other powders - not white ghosting cast. It causes your makeup to last a very very long time. Its really really a beautiful face powder. We have a thread on it where you can read everyones experience with it. HTH

I need to check out this powder!

:nanas: So happy for you NaughtyP! "Everything will work out in the end, and if it doesn't then it's not the end!" I just received both my palettes today and I really like them! Sorry you couldn't get them to work for you. :support: I heard that from now on, UD will be making every palette Build Your Own instead of the Alice and Wonderland type. Forgot where I heard that from, though.

thanks doll!!! I'm in line right now for the party I don't kno what I'm going to get !!!!! ahhh so excited even tho I'm here all by myself! my cousin had to take care of my grandpa in Palm Springs n my mom was gonna go with me but now her boyfriends son didn't pick him up so she had to leave. I wasnt going to come after the day I had but I figured pretty new makeup will be the only thing to make me. happy! lol

I got all of my Archie stuff in the mail today (my Archie order came a day early and my YOTS order got delayed a day. Why do you go out of your way to confuse me UPS?) and I love everything I got! Prom Princess looks much better on me than I thought that it would, especially buffed out, but you have to be careful to not over do it if you are really pale like me. Cream Soda is gorgeous and will probably be my go-to blush for a while, especially once I get Shell Pearl in the mail tomorrow. Betty Bright pulls pinker than I thought it would, but it still looks gorgeous for everyday. Ronnie Red might be my new favorite lipstick; I never thought that I could pull off red lipstick but this one is perfect! I thought that I would like my Betty products better but so far I have ended up loving my Veronica products more. But in the end I love them all

That could have been mentioned before, but this thread as blown up with massive posts since my last look.

I guess I haven't mentioned Oh Oh Oh because I already have it. Since AG has been out I'm reaching for it again

 

[BlissfullyYours]

Great, now im def getting it even tho I have pass tempt. I like how lavendar/pink prom princess lioks. Wondering if I should exchange unconventional for this. hmmm

I actually just asked blkbarbiemakeup to post a comparison of the two on ig Pp ha more shimmer. I'm gonna pass on the blushes. I'm just happy my list is pretty much complete.

 

[hwdsprincess]

YES!!!  This is how we have to refer to it from here on out.   You'll have to PM someone if you don't know the name.  Or we can call it the "other site".    

Lol I like that I posted when it first came out maybe I should go back and delete : / thanks to the other site the Bsite

I did a Nordstrom LiveChat since my BB hadn't shipped yet, and it looks like it's going to ship tonight with an e-mail confirmation for tomorrow. I'm very happy about that!

 

[ChosenOne]

393 new posts in this thread since I checked it this morning?!? What did I miss???? I gotta catch up!

 

[Medgal07]

Did anyone get the brush set and tried it? Wonder if i should get it.

I got it tonight at the AG event--I have not yet washed & conditioned them, but I expect they will work just fine.

 

[sungelly87]

I really wanted DLG at the event tonight but I got there at 8PM because I had work and it was already sold out! And it seems like its sold out everywhere online so I'm gonna have to go to the MAC store on Thursday during lunch! *fingers crossed

Wash and condition them? What's ur technique what do you use? I normally wash them in baby shampoo but I still feel like they're not clean enough and I just swirl them in the water then brush them on a towel
