So i went to my MAC counter to bac to mac and I got Plumful(non YOTS just the regular) and I LOVE it. But, I swatched Veronica's blush on my hand and it was shimmery unlike Flatter Me, which is the one I bought. I was like dangit! But, I didn't try it on b/c I had to much makeup on already and knew I really wouldn't see how well it worked.But, for anyone that's nc 30 or above that has it, does it work well as a highlighter or should I tell myself No, I'm done with this collection.

i agree with aradhana. I do NOT wear highlighters or any shimmer blush and i love these. I am very fair (NC15) so maybe it does depend on skintone. i have used them both and lightly added a blush over the apples of my cheeks after but there is no sparkly, glitter look when i use it. :)
Maybe it does depend on skin tone. Or maybe it's just me lol I can't even stand the tiny shimmer in some of my blushes. It's probably not even that bad on my cheeks but I feel like I should be in twilight, sparkling in the sun and what not lol.

I really wanted to try plumful :( too bad all my mac stores are at least an hour away and I recently had a baby so it's just too far :( I also didn't like the Veronica blush and in reference I'm about nc43

Ugh all this waiting and hoping Mac restocks the lipsticks is making me lose interest in DLG !!!!

I swatched them (my pics came out horribly so I won't be posting them) and DLG is much more pink and NB is much more purple. I thought they would be close enough but I'm so glad that I purchased DLG anyway because I like it a lot more.
Thanks for answering! I had NB but sold it. I knew I could live without it. I love DLG though. It really brightens my face. I can't say any other lippie does that to me.

Thank you. I had a feeling it looks best on fairer complexions. Yeah,my closest counter is 45min to an hour away depending on traffic. But I had other things to do to make an excuse to go. You should def get plumful the next chance you get! It's very moisturizing too and I have the driest of dry lips right now.

Congratulations on the baby:)!

This may already have been posted, but I noticed today that Cream Soda is virtually identical on to Melba. Melba swatches darker, but on my cheek (NC20-25 once I've covered the redness) I can't tell the difference between them at all. They're more than just close - they're indistinguishable.

Here are BB, DLG, &RR. On top of BB I'm wearing Chanel's Candeur to soften the color a bit. I loved how that came out. They're all winners in my book. I also have Prom Princess and Veronica's Blush. I've been having a lot of fun with this collection and although I spent too much, I don't regret any purchases. :cheer: My bank account hates me though.
Pretty! They look very nice on you

So my search and send order of Ronnie Red from Macy's just got here in a bubble wrap envelope, I've never had makeup delivered in an envelope before what the heck...they're lucky it's not hot (or I'm lucky it's not hot) then I opened it and my box was all beat up and ripped, my heart sank I'm like please lipstick don't be messed up, I open it and it's fine whew thank goodness

I couldn't resist & picked up the Veronica eye quad, can't wait to try it! So many beautiful pics of you all on here with it on, twisted my arm;). Shout out to Elegant-One, I admit I had to check out the NARS powder...and I picked up the compact. It was the very last one, I got the display one. It's selling like crazy they said. Can't wait to try it, a big thank you!!! I felt the tester & it just feels so cool!

Lmao oh no you saw!!! I'm horrible aren't I? So much for my no reds, I couldn't resist it, I'm a sucker for matte lipsticks when I swatched in the store I was like just see if it actually goes through since Macy's always cancels everything, and yea it came.... Btw I took a peek in the nail polish thread omg I LOVE ur nails you always paint them so pretty too :eyelove: I'm glad I suck at painting nails otherwise I'd be screwed!!!

the twilight line made me laugh out loud LOL

I think it does depend on skin tone. i bought blonde and redhead MSF's and i dont wear them because they make my cheeks glisten and shows pores too much on me. i'm a matte girl. For me, flatter me was a better choice to avoid shine and i use it as a blush. Veronica's could make you shiney and glisten if you use too much of it but i love it and so glad i got it!!
