I love my 159! I think it's perfect for highlighting. I use it with my S&G and I find that it grabs the right amount of product and is small enough for those areas. I do find that it is too small for blush. Maybe I got big cheeks. Idk lol ;)
thanks I love it for my blush I just dot a little at a time and I find it looks amazing I have fat cheeks and I have been using it for blush lol I'm happy u love it I'm coming around to liking mines alot lol

I will try that combo! Thank you for sharing!!!
Last night I lined and filled in my lips with heroine liner and then topped it with Snob. For some reason, I then applied Impassioned over that combination and the color it made is so gorgeous. I want a lipstick that color!

I am so happy with my Tropical Taboo goodies! Before the launch I was only planning to buy the MSFs and the 159 brush (thanks to Liba!), but I have started to fall in love with Tropical Taboo.

This is what I've bought (excl. the 159 brush):







I love the brown part of Exotic Ember as an eyeshadow. It's perfect for my skintone as it is a warm brown colour. I am thinking about buying another one with lots of brown. The color pay off is very good.

I wore the combination of the orange part of EE with Adored on top yesterday and I loved it. Adored tones down the brightness of EE.

If you have the Chanel Stylo eyeshadows of the summer collection, you will find out they are a perfect base for the MESs. They give a true to the pan effect. I've tried it yesterday with Chanel Cool Gold as a base and TtT on top of it and the result was a gorgeous shimmery color. (I am not too fond of TtT used dry but this is another story ;-)). This morning I've used Chanel Jade's shore as a base for Tropica and I loved the effect!

I only applied the blushes and MSFs with the 159 brush, so I cannot tell the difference between this brush and for example the 188 or 116 (or even the 128). When I bought this brush I didn't expect it to be this small. I love the way my TT blushes and my TT MSF's look though.

Hi Spring! Good to see you post again:)
Now I can finally see what your goodies look like. They are pretty and your EE has so much orange it's beautiful! I have to try out the Chanel Stylos with the MES now and especially Jade's Shore with Tropica, that sounds amazing! I see you got Bossa Blue after all, couldn't resist right?

How are you liking it?

I really love love love the mineralize summer collections of Mac.

I particularly love the MSFs of this year.

My EE indeed has a lot of orange as my initial plan was to use it as a blush only, but now I wished it had more brown.

Of course I couldn't resist.....

I've not made up my mind about Bossa Blue yet. I like it but like EE's brown much better. It might be a little bit on the cool side for me. However, i do like pairing it with TtT (and of course Cool and Orpheus. It's a lovely combination.

How do you like your TT goodies up till now?

Yes the MSFs this year are amazing

If you really can't find another brown like it, buying a second wouldn't be a bad idea. But do you think you'll use it so much that you'll run out quick?
Definitely pair Bossa Blue with cooltoned colours. I haven't used it anymore, because I've had a couple busy days as you know. But when I come up with new ideas I'll let you know.
I'm so happy to have vacation now and have time to play with my goodies. The MSFs and Simmer are amazing, but I need to use the MES more to figure out how much I really like them.

I feel the same about the MES. They are not that pigmented when using them dry. However, they look gorgeous with the Chanel Stylo eyeshadows. I hope you will like it as well!

Thanks so much MACina! I will! :)



So I rushed my way to the counter during my lunch break only to find out that EE sold out already.
But.... I've finally bought Mac Wipes. I wanted them for so long but somehow the price stopped me from buying them. Even my 5 year old daughter is addicted to them and every time we are at the Mac Counter she asks me to get one for her. The smell of them!!! Love it so much.
So now I finally have them and we can smell the wipes together.
