Why oh why did I check this out in store today? I b2m for Toxic Tale and left with Red Alert and Strike while Haute and I will never wear Strike While Haute.....

 

[Odelia]

  That's too bad.  They should've made it a Satin or VP.

Absolutely agree! It's such a gorgeous color, but it seemed really dry. Oh well, money saved!

Boo! That's too bad Indeed, it's such a pretty colour. Thanks for confirming the crummy Lustre nature Like Naynadine said, Lustre's are usually let downs :crybaby:

My place has crappy lighting but here I am in Toxic Tale! I dig it! I think I'm goong to wear it out tomorrow

Bought the three e/s, toxic tale and the beauty powder at the Union Square store. Nothing was sold out. I can use the bp as blush since I'm very fair. And I b2m for the l/s, no problem.

So what did you think of the BP??????????????????????

Did you get anything from Prabal?

ompom: :frenz: So what did you think of the BP?????????????????????? :haha: :kissy:   Did you get anything from Prabal?

I almost always like the bp's, it's a very pale soft peachy-pink, nice texture, with a little contour, I'm going to try it as blush, they usually turn a bit darker on me. :bigstar: Prabal, yes, I picked up Light English Red, both gloss and l/s, I love them on together. Also Cinder e/s set, goes on beautifully. What goodies did you get? :eyelove:

 

[stephshopaholic]

I want Toxic Tale but my store never seems to have a lot of stock so I'm hoping it'll launch online soon.

 

[iqaganda]

Any difference between the toxic tale vv and the new toxic tale?

It's all set to go, so it should be online soon.

Like i said, not red at all

 

[mel33t]

I went to the Union Square store last night and picked up Red Alert. Almost got the Dazzle Glass... But didn't. Saw the Prabal stuff and wow :eyelove:

 

[Anaphora]

I kind of want the beauty powder, but am unsure how to use it. If it's just to highlight, I have plenty of things that can do that. If it's a nice setting powder with a little luminosity I would definitely be down.

 

[Dolly Snow]

Like i said, not red at all

disappointed

hmm, not exactly. You mean when I listed/compared the use of different powders?

Beauty Powders are mostly for subtle skin enhancement. Very finely milled powders, they usually create a soft focus skin tone evening effect. They are different than setting powders which are usually completely transparent matte.



I found it... iT was in the Archie girls thread....

I'm going to try to take a stab at some explanation of the different powders. Maybe MAC-Guy could do a much better job than me in offering explanation if he wants. He is certainly amazingly knowledgeable! Or anyone else.

With all the different powders, they each kind of have their own task. Of course it will depend on personal preference, but in general:

Pearlmattes are very finely milled, some beautiful pearl base which helps soft focus the skin, some skin correcting color. Can be a light blush, but in general a light veil over the skin. Think of it as a beautiful silk stocking over the skin, you can still see the skin but now it has this slight very sheer soft covering.

Highlighters - Generally, they add a soft sheen with light reflections in them making the skin look lifted & lovely.They are wonderful when used in a "c" around the outer part of the eye area. Chanel's highlighters are almost too gorgeous looking in the pan to even use, but theirs are very very light, sheer barely-there accents. Other highlighters can be middle of the road white/yellow/champagne/pink cast light enhancers for the skin. Then there are the "workhorse" highlighters, they are a bit heavier but they camouflage, cover redness, spot correct, help dark circles, deep wrinkles/recesses in the skin. I use Laura Geller's baked highlighter with this awesome paddle applicator - its a major workhorse highlighter & I absolutely LOVE it! Watch the video: http://www.qvc.com/Laura-Geller-Supersized-Baked-Split-Highlighter-w-Applicator.product.A218581.html?sc=A218581-Zone&cm_scid=zone&cm_sp=MERCHZONE-_-Featured:+Best+Sellers-_-1

Beauty Powders are usually very soft finely milled & are skin-enhancing barely there second skin powders. Just a nice soft boost with some subtle hint of color.

Powders like the new NARS Reflecting Powders are strictly for light reflection on the skin giving your face a soft-focus, veiled complexion, flawless skin appearance. They are extremely light weight soft barely there powders with no color. Great for photographs

There are high-tech kind of powders like MAC's Elude. Extremely finely milled, It enhances the complexion while offering an edgey tonal whitening and extreme flawless veiling of the complexion.

Skinfinishes - like the mineral skinfinishes are powders that you buff into the skin, having more color but also highlight with more of a metallic or pearl sheen.

Contour Powders - they are like Spanx in powder form, creating visual angles, sucking things in, thinning planes of the face out, making other features stand out more.

Then there are the general powders of medium softness & opacity that you fluff over the face that can offer any number of face coverages.

All general & by no means complete, but its been asked a bit so I thought this might serve as a general over-view

Oh WOW!

Loving all the pics of TT as this is the only thing I picked up from this collection

Boo! That's too bad Indeed, it's such a pretty colour. Thanks for confirming the crummy Lustre nature Like Naynadine said, Lustre's are usually let downs :crybaby:

Not sure if I just lucked out, but I picked up Give Me Fire e/s on the rec of the MUA, and it's very buttery! More like a VP than a typical lustre, which I normally steer clear of. Gorgeous colour too.

Good to hear! Perhaps the tester that I tried was a dud---shoot! So hard to know! Glad that yours is buttery
