Can't wait to see swatches of Adored so I can figure out whether it's skippable for me or not. Not sure whether to wish for a glitterbomb (because I'd skip) or something more sheeny (that I'd have to buy).

I think it depends on how much you are willing to work with them. I have older ones (from around '09, holiday maybe?) that are perfect when used dry and have perfect pigmentation. Lately, I have found that they haven't been all too great. I have to use the newer ones (last one I bought was from Apres Chic) with Fix+ for the pigment to show up on the eye and I usually use a paint pot underneath. The ones that seem to have the most trouble are the ones with glitter. I'm hoping these are smooth without any glitter. Personally, they are not something that I have to have. thank you for your response

I'm one of those lazy people that don't want to take those extra steps to make something work. Pass for me, thanks once again!
I am liking the result of CCB (uses Shell a lot) better with my MES than using PPs. I always spray a bit of Fix + on the brush prior to picking up the product. The CCB makes the MES "pop"
more to me. After you get used to doing it a few times, it will not seem like extra steps really ( a base PP or CCB plus a spritz of Fix +) and you are all done!!!

Thank you, jennifae!

I have no idea how these filters work and what they do.And,to be honest,why they (always) use them.
I would love to see the actual color and do not want to guess what color it might be

The filter she used just boosts contrast and brings out warm tones.

I just can't seem to get excited about this collection for some reason. Think it's cause I have all the msf's I really need (besides by candelight), have quite a few mes's I barely use, and the blushes seem too brownish to me. And it kinda sucks cause it's my birthday month :( and am scared to get too excited for MM till I see lip swatches

I already listed many uses for it. Foundation, powder, highlight, contour, blush, setting powder...

I'm all over the place with this collection! The colours draw me right in *swoon*
I can definitely see similarities with some colours and previous collections. I have so many items on my want list. I hope swatches can help me skip some things!

Or else I'm in for some serious money troubles lol.

I've noticed quite a few blue based eyeshadows in the MES selection. I'm not too comfortable with blue

I have a suspicion that Bossa Blue will have a similar duochrome-ness that Seashore Frosts (color tattoo) has. Perhaps a bit darker though.
That's just guessing though, swatches will tell!

I'm really excited with this collection. I will either dodge the lipstick bullet or pay dearly for this collection lol.

For sure list: Adored + Lust MSF
