That was funny Anneri. I think I heard a villainous laugh with that too.Hah, my work is done (and Calla's, and everybody else's!)! What else did you get Med?
Also, a big hug for you - I'm so sorry for your loss. Sounds like she was a very special lady!
I'm in the process of doing my MU, will report back later!

I'm just hoping it's not a dupe or repackaging of 'Tease,' a very pretty pink EL gelee with the exact same design. I hope it arrives today---if it does I'll post pics.

In fact I purchased it not so long ago, part of " A Fantasy of Flowers ", I also have Azalea in the Afternoon, love both ! They brighten my face ( I wanted to skip but I caved and well very glad I did !)
Thank you, yes the Bourjois Velvet Edition are great, I hope you will get them in the US, worth purchasing really. Compared to Dior fluid sticks, they are matte but they wear quite long even after a meal, they are impressive ( drying though, sometimes very drying depending on the lips ).
Thank you Medgal !

Thank you, I use very simple combos, IRL I use 2 or 3 makeup products to the maximum, that's why lol.

That sounds gorgeous. I'm also lusting over the Guerlain lippie. I have a little list I plan to take with me when I'll be at the airport next time - those Guerlain prices are a bit too steep for me when they're not duty free! The prices are steep but oh what a formula. I think the cost is attributable to the ridiculously heavy packaging and double mirrors. It's heavier than Hub's swiss army knife.
Hi Dominique! Thank you!
If I had known that earlier! I sold my MM a few weeks ago to a very sweet lady here on Specktra. But of course you'd have had first dibs! (Btw, if you want to try those e/s, I've still some samples. Shoot me a PM if you're interested! Their formula is awesome.) That's so sweet of you. I think 3 MMs in one's lifetime is plenty. I have to force myself to use my other highlighters
though because reaching for the Els, especially MM is a no brainer for me---they just work!
Yeah, EL. I worked in their German HQ. It was an experience and fun while it lasted, but I was happy when I left too. I left with bags full of MU though!What an awesome, fun job--to
be surrounded by beautiful items to which you're addicted
Whoa. That's an awesome red.
Thank you Calla!Looking forward to hearing about your look with Shameless then!
Revlon is no longer available over here, so I got incredibly lucky when a friend of mine gave me hers she didn't like after all after getting it in the US.
I can totally relate to that. I'm not big on the 'only empasize one area of the face' look. Whenever I do that, I feel like I'm wearing not a finished look. I remember when I tried the Iris Apfel lippies in store, the best MUA I ever met was bored and decided to make me up with the lippies as the focal point. He explained to me that whenever I wear them, I'm to wear a blush in the same cololur family and paired Frankly Scarlett with a mix of Pink Pigean and Scarlet Ibis. I was terrified at first, but it looked really great. Of course you don't want clown cheeks either, but a well-balanced application. But it works. I hesitated to use Tom Ford's Narcissist blush with yesterday's bright lippie, but it just worked---very small amt, well blended of course
I wish I was young enough/had perfect skin to rock these red lips and mascara looks, but sadly, I can't. It just doesn't look right.
And thank you! S&TO was one of the best regular e/s Mac came out with in a long time IMO!

I'm going to focus on that approach for the summer Dominique. I have way to much product to sustain that w/o major guilt but I'm trying it for really hot days.

Thank you Calla, here it is again just to show you. It's sooo bright. But I tried to apply another one and it applied very unevenly for some reason. The texture is awesome but really very dry.

My approach is low makeup, euh very low in fact. Using many products ( concealer, powder etc.. ) leads to beautiful makeups, mine are far from being perfect but the challenge ( Bright colours ) is really great thus I can swatch my lipsticks

Oh no Medgal! I'm so sorry to hear of your family's loss. Your family was really blessed to have had someone like that in your lives.

Tried to capture the brightness of this lipstick/lip gloss combo but I couldn't capture it. Maybe I will do a hand swatch later. Here's my look today
