This look sounds pretty amazing PixieDancer. I love trying looks presented by others on this thread. The first thing that I do is check my product inventory document to see if I have the products used. I was certain I had everything except Snow Season. Low & behold---I have it. Typical issue of product over-load. Thanks for reminding me of some long forgotten goodies and for this lovely look, which I'm eager to try.
Seriously, this look does sound amazing! This is something I would totally wear and will even try!
Lol how true, but at least we're making the best of it[COLOR=0000FF]Hi Glammy Girl! I tried using Studio Fix Plus Foundation based on rave reviews by some Speckrettes. It didn't work for me. I applied it over a primer and it was [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]horrid. Not so much the look, but it itched & tingled my face so badly that I had to wash if off immediately. That's when I moved onto Studio Sculpt, which I love. I alternate between that and MAC's Face & Body & Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer, which I hope to finish soon. I've used [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]P & P Translucent Powder, MSF Natural, Blot Powder and Sheer Mystery Powder. I really like the Sheer Mystery powder over Studio Sculpt, yet another recommendation by Mac-guy. I think that's my favorite of all the foundation/powder combinations so far. I recently ordered the NARS 'Light Reflecting' Setting powder which is being lauded on Spectra. It comes in both loose and solid [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]compact form. I ordered the loose powder because I was concerned about transferring my foundation and other face products into a white powder compact----just thought it would look unpleasant with prolonged usage. I'll let you know how I like it, so you might want to hold off getting the MAC P & P TLP. So many products, so little time right? [/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF] [/COLOR]:haha:
I've never heard of Sheer Mystery Powder, I'm not even sure if we get it here in SA, will definately have to check it out. Is it on the Mac US website? Oh and we can't get NARS here Isn't that the saddest thing, I want sooooo many products from NARS. I guess I can order online but i don't know if shipping costs and custom taxes are worth it But I hope you like the their powder... I was just telling my husband the other day, if we ever come to the US, I will go absolutely crazy with makeup we can't get here lol.
So sorry you can't get NARS in SALol how true, but at least we're making the best of itI've never heard of Sheer Mystery Powder, I'm not even sure if we get it here in SA, will definately have to check it out. Is it on the Mac US website? Oh and we can't get NARS here

LOL I usually just wear one lipstick per day, but given that i came home in between outings, and there are so many pink/red lipsticks to get through this month...and with only 28 days to do it!Now I'm really excited to get my DDB gelcreme. I like using products that are made for a specific purpose like this. I also ordered the DDB brow liner but I think I'll probably reach for the
gelcreme more often. I currently use the 208--I like the short bristles. It's perfect for the brow.
I'm not familiar with OCC strumpet (pink/red) but I so enjoy Love Goddess. You just gave me an idea----I usually wear the same lipstick all day but switching on that same day is a great way to get even more use out of my products. Thank you for that aradhana
SOOOOO glad all you lovely ladies like the look! I wore it to the office but it also transitioned well for after work! Let me know if any of you have any additional looks for DA! I am in serious love with this lippie!!Seriously, this look does sound amazing! This is something I would totally wear and will even try!
Deeply Adored is too gorgeous for words!! Beautiful look, Pixie
Deeply Adored is my perfect red and I love it so much. The only reason I don't wear it more often is because I feel it would be unfair to all of the other lippies I invited into my home. During Marilyn I only backed up Love Goddess b/c folks were saying that was going to be the hit and sadly it kind of bores me. However, last week a very sweet and benevolent Specktrette (who is VERY active in this thread) slipped a Deeply Adored in a package she was sending to me. It was so gracious and thoughtful that I immediately said awwww out loud. This is my favorite part about being part of an online community. Random acts of kindness. Thanks to this generous person I will wear DA more often to honor her.Just wanted to stop by the thread to say I wore Deeply Adored l/s out tonight and I am in love. I am SOO mad I do not have a BU to this
Can't wait to wear more reds and pinks now that we are officially in February.
Thanks! I'm actually wearing Violetta in the avatar, I was also wearing small vanity on the cheeks and Urban decay Ransom on the lower lash line it made for a good combination I was just playing around trying things on and it work so well I ended up going out that night lolol. I really like the Studio Fix, its a great alternative to foundation I feel, I never really liked foundation because I don't like a full coverage with the Studio Fix I get more a medium coverage and it's really light on my skin, I use the the Sephora Pro Flawless airbrush #56 to apply it and I love this brush. I actually don't wear a primer its very rare if I do I just really make sure to exfoliate and moisturize my face well before I put on make up. I feel that many face primers make me breakout so I stay away from it. Don't be embarrassed I have all the lippies from Marylin and have not worn any of them, I think the last 4 collections I've only purchased the stuff but have not worn any of it because I have so many other lippies open and want to finish some of those before I use the newer ones.MacAddictNurse. I love your Avatar/Pic. You're beautiful! Were you wearing Dear Diary? BTW, how do you like Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation? Do you wear it over a primer, and do you apply it w/a kabuki? I love the look you created. I'm embarrassed to admit that I have Dear Diary and I've never worn it. This thread is really helping me to pay attention to my stash.
You should definitely try it! I'm hoping to wear my Outragiously fun tomorrow so that I can put compare with Daddy's Little girl at the Archie's event tomorrow. Just don't know what to do with the rest of my facesounds like a terrific way to wear dear diary! you are about the same skintone as me...i might copy you a little later this week (and substitute in for products i don't have) when i wear it!
that is so generous and thoughtful! yay!
so i tried your look sooner than i expected! i don't have dirty plum, so i substituted with earthshine and stratus. i also added concrete eyeshadow just above the crease for some definition..for the lipstick, i wore daddy's little girl. i didn't get outrageously fun, so unfortunately i can't compare them for you!
That's awesome! And funny at the same time cuz this afternoon I was looking at a picture I took over the summer with earthshine on and don't think it looks that great on my have to dig it out and try it again. So how do u feel about ur Archie's stuff? I'm still very conflicted about getting anything at all feels like there's nothing that really wows me.
i find with earthshine it looks best on me almost as a contour--not a true contour cuz it's sparkly, but just a little lower on the cheeks so it's not sitting on the apples. i used stratus on the apples, but very lightly, because i wanted to keep it light for the office.
I got dirty plum when it first came out but gave it to my sister since then I didn't care much for blush. I recently saw someone in the clearance bin put it up for sale I decided to get it and ohh is it pretty, I'm glad I got it now since I've become a huge blush addict. Thanks for the pointer on earthshine I'm definitely going to try it your way. I hope I can makeup my mind tomorrow and not spend much since I want to save it all for April I want like 100 things from the collections coming out. Might just get mall madness and designer purple.
i know there are some really great sounding collections coming up!
I ended up going to my appointment and ended up getting DLG, MM, RR, and I got the designer purple liner but I got it from the perm line saved a buck or two still not sure how I feel about the lippies tho
