Here's my rough draft of Deep Mink and Sable Smoke! im about an NC42 for reference (nars tahoe, med-drk complexion) I also threw in Pink Guilt and i must say...i am NOT a gloss gal at all but this is definitely a unique shade i've yet to come across and im sure will be the only gloss from TF i'll own lol. it's nice and thick yet not too tacky (like saaaay mac lipglass) where its still comfortable on the lips and with it being thick it helps my lips last longer!! i only apply gloss in the CENTER of my lips only and blend outwards with my finger (no rhyme or reason just habit i made up)


Deep Mink with Pink Guilt is the PERFECT combo!! i came across this from YT when i was lookin up which shades to grab and DM is my first TF lippie. i aint gonna lie...i felt dumb as shyt for splurging $47 for a freaking lipgloss but im glad i did becuz like i said its unique and as meddy says (dmn u for always being right) it's the perfect gloss to top off ANY nude/neutral lip.


Sable Smoke is my baaaaaaby!!! omg i done wore the TF off it already becuz i reach for it so much. it's a nude lip i cant explain and its like no other nude i have (no matter what dupes u might come across). it's so nice n creamy and i feel so grown n luscious when i wear it. i wear it alone and no gloss but here i paired it with PG at the bottom. I am quite sure i will finish this tube by the end of the year and repurchase all over again!!

So there's my shhhhpill on these 2!! i pair mac cork with SS and i like to do a chocolate liner with DM but mainly the outer corners of my lip cuz i dnt want it to ever take away from the gorgeous shade that DM is!! When i do a full look with these 2 again i'll post it in here or hopefully my blog should be up **crosses fingers** cuz im shooting for a deadline by the end of this month!! my next shades i wanna get is blush nude and what did i say...pink dusk, only becuz i know when folks searchin they go for the "safe" neutral colors to invest in first but huuuuntttty ooooh let me show yall when i wore FLAME this weekend....



any kind of red makes me feel grown women but its just somethin about TF lippies that screeeeeeam not just grown but sophisticated grown! it literally transforms my whole being lol and then i be feeling all above n bougie like when im out n about just thinkin "dmn my lipstick alone cost more than that shirt"

BUT YEA so im slowly but surely expanding my lippies and since im more for color than not this is my first colored TF!! i got MR on the way courtesy of Lisa..where u at giiiiirl

and lookin fwd to adding electric pink and black dahlila too!! For TF newbies...WE (cuz im still new) should invest in a good neutral, pinky and POP shade.

P.S. i'll leave yall wit a pic of mason too for yall viewing pleasure lol. we went to a mother/son dance and he STAYED on the dancefloor doin that whip n naenae dance hahaha!!

^^^Awww, he's adorable!! How fun to have a mother son dance. you guys match too.

I NEED Flame in my life! Its insanely gorgeous on you. And, now I want Sable Smoke too. And I still need to get Nude Vanille. I have a Nordies note but I can't figure out what to get with it because I want everything

Your makeup is so gorgeous.

Kiki you are one beautiful potty--mouthed woman & I adore you!!!! You really rock neutral and color really, really well. Your makeup is flawless. I'm glad you're
enjoying quality over quantity and you're appreciating the way luxurious products can be transforming, from the inside out. Your little guy is looking pretty fly too!!!!
The two of you are just adorable!

If you're thinking pink, check out Pink Tease & Pussycat!!!

Did you notice how quickly I switched up? First I was going to wait for the anniversary sale and then 5-10" later, I'm probably not going to wait. Lol.

Uh-oh is right! Lol! That sounds like a great look.

 

[Medgal07]

VV arrives Thursday. I hope I love it. Nothing like having a package waiting you

OMGosh we are definitely without a doubt ..no question...I've been collecting Christmas ornaments for over 30 years too!!!

I've posted a few pics of my tree here at Christmas time. It's one of the best most endearing items to collect imho. I love pulling them out every year. I want to go to the Christmas Mouse shop

It's getting harder to store them all.

I LOVED your gorgeous tree!!!! In addition to a ton of ornaments, I also purchased 6 more spinners----they're motorized spindles to which you attache ornaments and
the ornaments twirl. We have a revolving tree stand and it's awesome seeing the ornaments twirl in one direction and the tree rotate slowly in the other. The SAs at
the CM were so sweet. They have numerous decorated trees throughout the store, and even allow you to remove ornaments from them if you see something you
really like. I also collect snow globes and picked up another one. Unfortunately there are no stores in our region so we only get to go when we travel to Virginia &
even further south. They have a web site but I need to see and touch the ornaments, and online pics just don't do them justice.

The container store had really nice ornament storage boxes that hold quite a few ornaments. I hope they still have them because I'll definitely need more.

I can't wait to hear what you think of Velvet Violet. Mine arrives on Friday.

I noticed Meka!!!

 

[meka72]

I think I used the cranberry shade on my lid, glittery shade in the tear duct area, the lightest shade as a highlight with the glitter shade on top. And Mac brown script in the crease.

tell me what you used and where.  LOL no I didn't put in anything yet..   

 

[elegant-one]

I cannot decide on which TF ls to get next. Flame or Nude Vanille

Love the rotating tree stand so much!!! I have a vintage one that plays Christmas music but we don't use it. Yes, just like you, I have to touch them too lol!

AND...I collect Snow Globes too

The kids gave me the sweetest one with an adorable bunny in it! Snow Globes are the sweetest things EVER!

We better check our DNA because I think its REAL Sis

 

[meka72]

You are too much! Lol. But you look good though girl. Sable Smoke looks great on you but is not a color that would look good on me. I cannot look like Tyrone Biggums! I considered getting Flame given my love of reds. Is Flame orange-red or red? I received samples of the Traceless foundation and I hope that I don't like it. Please don't let me like it, Makeup Gods! So Rose Soleil, Velvet Violet and Flame are on my list for sure. Btw, you and Mason look so cute together. I didn't want a son because boys misbehaved. I ended up with a lunatic daughter who give any boy a run for his money. lol.

Based on your dilemma, I pulled out all three quads and conclude, the first top shadows in Seductive Rose are very similar. There's a slight difference in the formula
but when swatched, the pale pink and the deeper pink shimmer look very close in color---but not finish, The purple shimmer shade, left bottom looks much lighter
when swatched then it does in the compact. The shimmer makes it appear very pale and the deep burgundy swatches true to its appearance. I love Cognac Sable
because of the colors and probably get more use out of it solely for that reason. I often use CS and CM together but Cocoa Mirage is a go-to neutral palette for me.
The choice about which to purchase must be your own, but I hope this has in some way helped you get closer to a decision.

Me too Ash---just something about that color combo!!!! That sounds like a really pretty look!!!

Yes. Someone else mentioned that a while back. I need to look into that!!!

I love the bronzer brush but it's the size of a cat!!! I don't think my face is particularly small, but the brush is so big that I have to use it w/care to avoid bronzing
unintended areas.

The cheek brush makes any and every blush work like a charm-------a real must have IMHO.

Yes---you were the one Lauren!!!! I need to look into this!!!!`

I swatched the shades to which you refer----the burgundy in Dior Trafalgar and TF Cognac Sable, and the Trafalgar burgundy shade is warmer and deeper than than
the TF one which is cool & blackened w/very minute shimmer.


You don't want too much do you Kiki?

Frankly, you'll look amazing in all of the above, so just pick one!!!

Welcome Back!

Thank you so much for pulling out the quads and doing such a detailed assessment! I really appreciate it. I actually ordered Seductive Rose yesterday and the Negligee lippie for my mom. I really wanted Seductive Rose and I would get it sooner or later. I've just been craving something purple-ish for quite some time and couldn't find anything really appealing except for this palette. I almost got Cognac Sable but I thought that the shade in Trafalgar would possibly be a dupe so I held off on that one. Thank you for doing a the comparison. I think I'm going to order it as soon as I feel I need new eyeshadows... because I have recently added a lot of new ones and need to use them until I feel like I need some new inspiration.

 

[KiKi Kontour]

Thanx Laydeeeeez!!

Meka Flame is an orange red which reminds me of mac so chaud. i praaayed to have my boy first cuz if i had a girl i wouldn't be in this TF thread but more like colour pop!!! he's the typical boy but trust and believe if he does misbehave i taps dat azz cuz this mama dont play that

 

[Medgal07]

I cannot decide on which TF ls to get next. Flame or Nude Vanille

I vote for Flame next, for summer----and it'll look perfect w/your eyes & hair!!!!!

 

[Medgal07]

Love the rotating tree stand so much!!! I have a vintage one that plays Christmas music but we don't use it. So awesome!!!!! Yes, just like you, I have to touch them too lol!

AND...I collect Snow Globes too

The kids gave me the sweetest one with an adorable bunny in it! Snow Globes are the sweetest things EVER! I have a few spring ones w/birds and flowers. Love them so much!!!

We better check our DNA because I think its REAL Sis

I'm telling you it has to be real!!!!!

Flame would look awesome on you Meka!!! Ot's a beautiful orange-red. Great choices!!! Me too Meka but she
turned human at some point and is both likable & lovable, educated, healthy, gainfully employed and lives in &
owns her own house. Hang in there! The best is yet to come!!!

Thanks Mango!!! I hope you love SR and your mom enjoys Negligee. Looking forward to hearing what you
and mom think!

 

[Bronwyn]

I would swim in a pool of it, it if I could

​I almost purchased Velvet Orchid fragrance but it's too strong for me. I'm definitely getting Jasmine Rouge----that is
heaven to me. I LOVE that fragrance!

BEAUTIFUL Bronwyn. Glad you're enjoying it....and the adult glitter. It really is amazing!!!!

I agree Ash, the shade that appears purple in the quad does not translate as such on the skin---it's so much lighter than what it appears. Cocoa Mirage is
predominantly matte, but the brown on the bottom left has a VERY small amount of micro shimmer. It's so fine you could miss it---well, apparently you did. it really is
barely visible with the naked eye Cognac Sable is my fav of the three.

I just got MR at a CCO and I'm so looking forward to wearing it!!!!!

I'm determined to try the foundation before year-end! I need to use up so many others.

Oh my gosh-----a trusted friend suggested Toffee to me as well. Did you try it Pretty?

You're correct Mango. I just confirmed that today when I pulled it out for one of your other posts.

Mango is correct---the bottom left brown e/s has a wee bit of sparkle to it. Oh that's just wrong. I'm really sorry that happened to you. I can't believe the beast had the
gaul to wear it around you

it is awkward to open but I've gotten the hang of it. Thank you it is. The palette feels very fancy applied so it's not an everyday one for me
