I would like to own the compacts but the bronzers are so lack luster to me. I wish I could pop out the covergirl bronzer in ebony bronze and place it in the compact. If that could happen....I would jump on them!!! lol

Indeed you could do that. I believe the pans are standard size.

Thank you. I agree... such a beautiful peach. I think a lot of people get a little intimidated by the pan color, but most blushes that say they are peach don't actually turn peach on me. They just look pink.

Prescriptives used to do that. They could blend powders or liquids, whichever the customer preferred. They had their cosmetic collections organized by skin tones, which was innovative back then.

Then Estee Lauder (which owns Px) pulled them off the market. There was enough ruckus that Px is back, but on-line only. They will still blend for those whose mixes were recorded. I didn't wear foundation much then -- i wish i'd had it done. Now they're offering to do something like that again for new people, via photos and on-line consultations (with video i think). But since it's on-line only, i'd be a bit skeptical that they could make a perfect match :-(

I should look into this. I had a custom blend before but I just assumed they would not have the info as it was so long ago. I got it at Bergdorf's. I just figured they wouldn't have info from Bergdorf's but maybe it was a company system. Hmm. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Oh by the way. I have the split fiber brush and it is very nice. I used it on a light blush and it applied just ok. I think this one is better for bright pigmented blushes. The eye shadow brush did not wow me. I don't usually go for those small eye brushes anyway. I have a 239 but rarely use it. I think I just got it because it was new and I figured I'd like the special packaging. Well no, now that I think of it, I bought it because everything else was sold out on launch day. I don't know if I really like the special packaging on the brushes. They just kind of look like the small SE color ones. I don't think the packaging looks as fabulous in the wooden handles and pencils. So if you wanted it and didn't get it, I'm sure it will come out again in regular packaging.

Exactly! I have the same problem with other blushes that claim to be peach. Gina is my only true peach and thats why I love it so much! Besides it blends like a dream! Ugh love it so much lol!

Excuse the hair, it's 90-something and windy outside, so it was going all sorts of different directions and into my lipgloss. This is LL with Delphic in the crease, Delphic and I believe Luminoso from Milani on the cheeks, EO with WD on top. Oh yeah, BB brow set to calm my "we need to be waxed" eyebrows.

I'm sitting here staring at my lovelies and I'm debating whether to throw away the boxes or not. I feel like when I keep the boxes, I'm hoarding lol. Mom looks at me and is like "You're worried about hoarding a lipstick box when you have a huge container of lipsticks already???" LOL! needless to say, I'm keeping the packaging. For the lipstick at least, maybe not for the liner.

I just ordered it off of Nordstroms online! I took the plunge because I had a gift card that has been sitting in my wallet since Christmas! I can't wait to get it and try it on. I use ebates for the first time too. I've had it but always forget about it. I don't think they give cash back for the gift card portion though. Do you (or anyone else) know if you can get cash back somehow if you forgot to use it? I ordered something from Nordstrom a couple weeks ago and completely forgot about ebates. I rarely order online so I'm not used to using ebates regularly.

Unfortunately if you forget to go through ebates first, you can't get cash back after a purchase is already made :(
