Ok so I wore FM all over and it did something LOL. I can see why ppl loved elude and forever Marilyn. It kinda softened my face. If that makes sense. I didn't "get" the stocking reference. But I do now.

i had gave my fm a break because I felt my skin tone was kinda more colored during that time and i can see it looked like a light cast on my face so i only used it to highilght but i brought it out to use while i wait for my nars powder and idk if it's because it's winter and my face got lighter but i used it all over and i can see the softened look and i like it.

oops edit nevermind, i keep thinking fm the marilyn one... i didnt get the archie fm...lol but thats the story of my marilyn fm haha

Mac snob lipstick and lipglass

Lovely photo Jessa---you look really pretty and Snob L/S suits you!

 

[Medgal07]

LOL.... I did not like EP or MPP. I stopped after those two. I do love the pink in Chanels quad but isn't like a reddish pink?

No. I think you might be referring to one of the other shades in the palette thats a muted burgundy. The pink is very light---soft---pretty.

Oh ok. That's a sign I need to bring it back out. LOL

Last night I had my makeup done at my local store, and the mua did a beautiful take on the main veronica look (adapted to my eye shape). She used frozen violet as the base, which I'm not keen on buying (too many open paint pots!), and focused the purple on the outside corner and crease. I asked her not to do the red lip becasue I somehow usually end up with red lips at these makeup sessions, so she paired it up with Oh, oh, oh. Very pretty...but going by other members' comments how it is similar to glamour daze I decided to skip it. I was so happy with the results - hope I can duplicate it at home!

Sounds amazing aradhana! I had purchased Frozen Violet PLW (addicted to them & allowed myself ONLY one) PP w/my AG haul and tried it today w/Black Poodle pigment. I really like both.

You're a riot prettypackages. I really did check it out---got off my comfortable perch to check just for you.

What I meant was, legs look nice/flawless with sheer silk stockings on than just bare skin. Makes it harder to see veins, flaws etc....softly sheer elegant looking.

You look gorgeous Mac4Megan

Thanks! I made it to work, thank God! It took me 2+ hours to clean off the car and clear a path... Crazy!

So you in effect worked, before work! Be safe!!!

 

[Medgal07]

Really pretty xbarbiieex1

Your eyes look amazing. I haven't yet used the quad but I did use the Frozen Violet PP w/Black Poodle pigment & DLG for a similar outcome but no where near as gorgeous as your look!

Today i use the Spoiled Rich quad , the Prom princess blush, the Veronica's blush as highlight and Daddy's little girl lipstick

 

[Misato-san]

beautiful look!

has anyone compared Ronnie Red with Love Goddess from the Marilyn collection?

 

[Medgal07]

OK, I admit it, BOTH quads are beautiful. I was not going to get them, but I might change my mind soon. I don't think I want to wait until they show up at the CCO. -_-

The heart wants, what the heart wants---even when it's just makeup

 

[ma146rina]

I've been stalking the website all-day for the restock, it looks like it ain't gonna happen anytime soon. Hopefully some of the NY stores are opened tomorrow & I'll just brave the snow. I want my Ronnie Red!

I hope you get it!! Or try having one shipped to you from a Macy's or Bloomies

yes you should def try macys, honestly I did not have hope in them as they had canceled my orders before, i asked for a search and send (think that's what it's called) and i ordered ronnie red and it actually shipped today.

You're a riot prettypackages. I really did check it out---got off my comfortable perch to check just for you.

LOL, I believed you!!!


~sigh~ I'm glad to be back home to play in makeup... Oh how I wish car shopping was as easy as shoppiing for makeup...

My final haul: Betty bright Daddy's little girl Boyfriend stealer Kiss and don't tell Feelin so good Strawberry malt Prom princess Cream soda Loves: cream soda, strawberry malt, kiss and don't tell, daddy's little girl Likes: Betty bright and prom princess What the hell was I thinking?: boyfriend stealer and feelin so good. They are very gothy on me, so they will get limited use. I was tempted by the quads, but with the oz palettes and the nars god created woman palette, I had to prioritize. Mildly tempted by the pearlmattes, but I want one or both from baking beauties, and also the nars finishing powder (thanks Elegant , and how many face powders do I really need? REALLY tempted by the brushes, but I'm super picky about brushes, and I have some top priority ones on my Hakuhodu list, so I couldn't justify them.

Does anyone know how Veronica's Blush would look as a highlight on pale girls? I really want to buy it, but I don't think I'd like the color as a blush on me. So I'm just wondering if it could work as a highlight for someone in the NC 15-20 range.

 

[Starlight77]

why can't i stop buying from this collection?!?!?! all i wanted was 2 lipsticks and 1 pearlmate

thank goodness my hubby sees my makeup collection like his tool collection... never ending and everything is different, LOL
