I got a chance to try out the products I picked up yesterday - Sculpt SP and Natural BP. Sculpt is really natural and easy to use for someone that is fair. I was a little worried this may be a bit too dark because someone recommended Bone Beige to me. I might try Bone Beige in the future. I used the BP as a under eye setting powder today. Not sure if that's what it's supposed to be used for but I wanted to give it a try. I was hoping this would be similar to Accentuate shaping powder since I want to try that out. Any thoughts? This BP is so pretty and really gives a nice brightness to the face. Here are some pictures of me wearing the SP and BP. The lighting isn't the best because I took them later in the evening rather than in the morning when I prefer to take makeup pictures.

Sneaking a picture in the car!

Tried to get a close up shot. This was a few hours later so the lighting isn't the greatest.

I'm in love with the stuff I bought from this collection!! I used the 109 brush I bought yesterday to apply the sculpting powder and my highlighter. It's really nice! I'm glad I picked it up.

They look gorgeous on you! So glad you're happy with your things!

Pleasurebomb was a great pinkish red too n so is All fired up. Those r the kinda reds I wld go for. Riri woo is not bad. Neway in my avatar I m wearing ruby woo. Neither hate it nor love it. Heheh

I skipped Pleasurebomb and have always regretted it. I have a lot of red lipsticks and some of my favourite pinky reds I'd recommend looking into are Mac Ronnie Red (if you can find it) which btw is an amazing formula that lasts forever but isn't drying or matte, Nars velvet matte lip pencil in Dragon Girl, which is very matte and pulls very pink on me because I'm pale, and Chanel rouge allure in Palpitante which is a great formula too. HTH. You look gorgeous in your avatar btw!

I think I'm the only person in the world that doesn't look good in TLK It pulls way too pink for my liking.

thanks babe.. but I m not a big fan of red lipsticks even though I m wearing one in my avatar. Heheh. If it was a purple or dark burgundy I wld buy it.

Me neither...I think that they just don' t look as pretty on me as they do on so many other people

I always end up mixing my reds with other lipsticks or lip mixes.Or do at least put a lipglass on top of it.

Reds that have pink undertone I love! Goddess of love is a great Pinky red.

Yes, I can pull of reds with (a strong) pink undertone too!



That is the problem with Ruby Woo on me is it turns orange.
But when I wear Riri woo, I know alot of people say it is the same but on me they are so different.
Riri woo is an amazing red, it doesn't turn orange on me at all.

Same on me....most of the "true" reds turn orange on me

 

[Dolly Snow]

Does anyone from the UK know if the Maleficent collection will be coming to Debenhams or if it was just exclusive to Selfridges & the MAC UK website? So gutted I missed out on the True Love's Kiss lipstick...

I asked MAC chat and they only mentioned Selfridges and actual MAC stores (not counters). I went into a lesser-known store in London and nothing had sold out!

The Porefessional doesn't work 100% for me. I can still see my pores. And I've noticed that my foundation does seep into my pores like you said! Unfortunately no one sells It Cosmetics near me. There is so much I want to try from them but I hate ordering online. I'll need to check if anywhere near me sells the Becca one you mentioned. I'm not super oily but I think I have some bad pores. I'm glad you've found such an amazing foundation! I haven't used a drug store foundation in years. They seem to have some nice ones out lately. I'll need to try that Maybelline one if I can find my color. I wish they had testers at the drugstore. I'll have to try to find that video tomorrow. I'm not ready to purchase the full size of the Porefessional just yet. Have you tried the MAC one? That's one I'm interested in trying out. Buy it! It'll look gorgeous on you.

I got the lightest color in the maybelline foundation and it's a tad pink so putting the diffused light ambient powder really helps make it less pink for me. Walgreens and cvs have a great return policy and I've returned a few drugstore foundations trying to find the perfect match. I don't feel as bad doing it with drugstore than foundations from sephora which is why I haven't gone high end yet. I got a sample of the becca one from sephora! And it cosmetics from ulta! I haven't used any mac primers either.

Lol waiting in your cart? Still? or did you buy it now lol

Still in the cart... I fell asleep. I'll probably order it tonight but want to find something else to send with it!

It depends on where you're gonna use it. Under the eye? Radiant Rose. Anywhere else? Light Boost. You just gotta find the right method that works for you. And start with an eyeshadow that's a piece of shit! That way if you ruin it you won't care! :haha: MM is a medium-full, natural-matte finish foundation. If you want coverage, but not matte, go with studio sculpt. It's medium-full, natural-satin finish. Awww you're too sweet You too [@]Whitneyallison[/@]. Since you're both looking for a poor filler, I've got one for you, and it works as a primer too! Monistat chaffing gel. Don't laugh! Just get it! Get it!!! :haha:

I've heard about the Monistat gel. I'll have to give it a go haha. How's the lasting power for studio sculpt?

I think I'm most likely the lightest shade of every foundation. I think I will have to grab one the next time they are on sale or I have a coupon. Drugstore foundation is more expensive than it used to be. I'd rather return drugstore over high end. I prefer to get samples of high end stuff before I buy even though the MUA sometimes try to pressure me to buy them right then and there. That's a waste if I don't like it and they throw it out.
