I have dehydrated skin above my cheeks on both side. Closer to nose though not where i usually put my highlights. Its so weird. Like i drink water but i guess not enough????

Mine is exactly the same. But along my forehead an on top of my nose, I get shiny. Sigh. Finally did my first MJ haul! I picked upThe Punk and Seduce Me. I swear I'm going to end up with all the shadow palettes given enough time.

I agree. I want the Lolita. I keep trying to talk myself out of it since I have soooo many browns, but I can't stop thinking about it!

im super oily on my forehead an nose and i have yet to find a matte powder that doesnt make me look powdery and control my oily nose for more than 10 minutes

Sounds like we have the same skin (although I have the pastier version). I have really been liking Hourglass oil-free primer, which makes my whole face nice and silky, doesn't dry the cheeks and holds off the shines for longer than most products.

Having worn my MJ goodies yesterday, I have to say that it has only strengthened my resolve to buy ALL THE DAMN EYE SHADOWS. Even the shade from "The Punk" that swatched poorly (the middle, smallest shade) was incredible on the eye. Given that purple shades are generally prone to fading (at least on me), I was beyond impressed at the lasting power of all three shades. They looked almost the same in the evening as in the morning. (Note: I look like ass in these photos because I've had allergies. Please don't hold it against the cosmetics.)

Such a pretty look, katred. What's on your lips?

Thanks MissTT! That's the Love Marc Lip Gel (aka lipstick) "Seduce Me". I picked it and Madame Batifole up on the same day only to realise they're incredibly close in terms of colour. Seduce Me is a little bit cooler and deeper and Mme. Batifole has a sheen to it that is quite unique up close. I have a real problem with various shades of berry. It's not safe for me to be around them.

I got a sample of the eyeliner on my last Sephora order, and I'm definitely going to pick one or two up when this runs out. I have an issue with eyeliners fading on me right at the lashline, but this stays all day on me. I like that I don't have to sharpen it too.

I got the sample one too! I lurve it! I want the berry colored one!

I just looked up a swatch of that, and I must have it! I've been really wanting a berry color for Fall.

It reminds me of the girl in the MAC PLW promo. I know the picture is photoshopped but it looks like she has a shimmery berry on her upper lash line!

Yes, I want that whole look in the promo picture. When I think of all the fun looks I could do with a berry liner, it makes me want it all the more.

I thought I'd share a pic of my MJ foundation! I absolutely love it on! It's stunning and very natural looking. I get oily in my tzone so that area I tend to need to set but I love how natural of a finish this foundation is. And something I love most- A GOOD COLOR MATCH!!! It's so hard for me to find a good color match for my olive skin. Only MUFE 123, Nars Stromboli, and now this one! Yippee! Also MAC C4 in face and body... But it's so sheer it's difficult to tell if its actually a good match hahaha

what color are you?

what color are you?

I got golden deep

Made another small haul. Picked up Tantalizing blush and The Ingenue eye palette. I have no idea why, but I really love the combination of neutrals in that trio. I'm curious to see how the blush works. My face tends to swallow any colour that's put on it after an hour or so, with only a couple of exceptions, but hopefully this will have some staying power.

 

[MissTT]

Interested to hear how the blush does on you, katred. Blush-eating-cheeks makes you a good test case.

Trying out The Ingenue today. The frosts are definitely frosty, but can be blended down for a less dramatic effect. (Or left as is for an evening out.) I like the fact that it's extremely neutral, not warm like a lot of combinations. The quality is impeccable on all three shades. I added a little bit of a darker colour as a crease/ contour shade, since there's not a lot of contrast in the palette itself, but I think this would be a perfect combination with virtually any bold lip on it's own.

I was wondering at what point they'd start doing seasonal items with this collection. I'm assuming it's a highlighter and I'm assuming that I need it.

Yes yes! I got so excited! Any highlighter that looks this gorgeous will have to be mine. So excited. Now when will it be released is my question! The anticipation!!!
