It would be lovely as an eyeliner for the waterline. But you can use it any way you'd want.
Mousy I missed you! Glad you are recovering :hug:
it's not that light, it's my favorite Mac pencil, I use it for my brows, lip liner and as an eye pencil.

Thanks!glad your recovery is going well!
i might get touch the earth from this collection, but i'll probably just wait till it's at the store since i have a few lipsticks bought recently that still need attention in the meantime.
what's NG? i was looking through the colour collection threads trying to figure it out...i'm a bit out of the loop lately!

Thank you!I'm glad you're doing well, mousygiggles. Prayers to you.
My most loved collections and face and eye products were always mineralized ones. I am sad to say I'm completely skipping this release and not even going to look at it in the store.
Once again, the MSFs are not for cool toned me, the MES seem to be way too glittery yet again, and ditto for the blushes.
Please Yourself would have been a great MB for me color wise, but the glitter killed it for me. I don't mind shimmer, I don't even mind a little glitter. I've had to be more careful about it in ES due to eye irritation over the last few months, but I can still handle it on my face. This is just overkill though. It reminds me of the new perm pink MB blush (name escapes me) that I bought over the summer that was also a glitter fiesta. Somehow, this seems even more glittery.
As for the MES, I will just resume dreaming of the days of MES ala Golden Gaze in all its buttery smooth goodness. They have yet to make one with a texture I like as much as that one in 2 and a half years now.

Well, I LOVE the pink blush shimmer & all
Its basically Nars Adelaide illuminator in blush form. Its SUPER pretty on. I used my finger & buffed out the shimmer on the top of the blush itself, then I applied it on the apples of my cheeks & blended it out. I then took a tissue & lighty buffed away the surface shimmer. Its very pigmented so you only need a little bit. Its VERY soft & blendable. SO pretty on. The shimmer is even similar to Nars Adelaide so I didn't mind how it looks on.
Force of Nature while not super pigmented you can build it up, & the texture is very smooth. One shade is a light medium brown taupe, the other shade is a really pretty medium darker brown. While it does have shimmer, it was still nice on the lid, not obnoxious glitter.
Oh, & the pencil is a deep brown

I have lightscapade from a 2010 fall collection and the original perfect topping from sugar sweet (im on to my back up now)
im not sure if these new ones are worth picking up they look different from the 2 I have.. I guess Ill swatch and go from there.

I decided to only get Perfect Topping. Nothing else spoke to me.

i didn't have either so i got both but the pattern its really pretty so that made the decision of getting both easy. As i was opening the box i was like please have nice veins.
