My list keeps changin I can't make up my mind!!!!
I personally didn't love Forever Marilyn under my eyes - I have puffy bags and the texture was a teeny bit heavy and matte for those mega-puffers. My favorite under eye product is the Prep & prime Vibrancy Eye. Even if i'm not wearing other makeup, VE goes on those puffs. For powder under the eye, I still love Elude the best and also just my plain old Careblend Powder, which gives me just the right amount of coverage without ever looking like it's just sitting on my bags like miss muffet on a tuffet.I'm not Liba, but I use Benefit's Powderflage to set my undereye concealer. Have you ever tried it? Maybe grab a sample from Sephora & try it.
I do also use the Marilyn powder for my undereyes. But before that came along, I used Powderflage exclusively. It's a pink tinted loose powder in a small circular jar.
HTH! Although, I'm trying to find reasons to get these MSF's too... HeeHee
I have the same problem with that one...and the thing is that was the first time I caved and bought a MES in years so now I'm kind of against them even though I know I shouldn't be. I really want to try out the black and royal blue MES from this collexI agree, I love Mineralize eyeshadows in general, they're actually the only eyeshadows I like from Mac, the regular ones don't show up that well on me for some reason! Must just be my chemistry lol. The only Mineralize shadow I've had an issue with is Frost at Midnight from Après Chic. Such a pretty color but I can't get it to show up no matter what I try! All my others I love
I do recall at one point Benefit reps thinking it might be discontinued. But that was over a year ago. And I have been reassured several times it's not now. But I know what you mean, it does get stressful trying to track down an everyday product. And if it DOES get DC I'll have to start over there too! Liba mentioned the Careblend powder... I've seen some YouTube gurus using a lighter shade of that under their eyes too. So maybe that will be my next try! If you try the Ben Nye ... Please share your thoughts!Lol that's it, I need an excuse to buy it! I actually use powderflage too but they aren't selling it at Sephora or Ulta anymore. It's not on the Benefit displays anymore. It on the Benefit website, but I'm afraid that once it sells out, that's it. I was thinking of trying Ben Nye Cameo powder too.
Thank you so much Liba, you saved me from buying a lot of (for me) unnecessary things from Divine Night. :bouquet: So I've narrowed down my list to only Private Party l/s and the Violet lip bag! I had like 20 things on my list. :haha:You could use it to highlight, but the main color isn't shimmery - it goes on a little satiny, like a natural skin matte. If you already own Supercontinental and are happy with it, you don't really need LTL. I skipped Supercontinental because it was too powdery on me, so I'm excited for LTL, BUT I may still skip it to save $$$ for the Extra Dimension blushes. LTL will be much less glowy than those will be, though.You can't really use the main color as a (subtle) shimmery highlighter? You said it's like LY without the gold swirl and that one is still shimmery? And might skip Lured To Love after all. You said in the PC thread that it's really sheer (but buildable) so I guess I should stick with my Supercontinental.
Same here. I already own that gritty, Alexander McQueen gold glitter bomb MSF. Somehow I never found an occasion that warranted the gold prospector look.centre of attention... no, just no :\ completely different to what i hoped for
Oooh, thanks for the report. I might need to get Lured to Love!Really sorry that I don't have swatches for you guys but I hope that helps some people wondering if they need these or not!
