Nothing for like 2 months. I need a MAC detox.

I don't think they look that similar. You need to stay away from the temptations until you've bought your books missy! Sorry to be an anti-enabler, but as someone who has stressed about the tuition and the book buying, etc., I wish I had an anti-enabler with me as I have no spending will power (I think I am one of those people who really should freeze her credit card in a block of ice sometimes)

sunpepper to me is so not like copperbeam.....I apologize that I do not have very good descriptive skills but here goes: sunpepper--hot brown/gold/bronzey kind of duo (I think more than duo but thats just me) chrome shadow. HOT! (think like pink pearl, old gold, blue brown, etc with the multi colour type effect). Copperbeam is mostly just brownish/coppery.

I so prefer sunpepper but thats just me.

So I haven't seen the MSFs before, are they like a blush? How do you use them? Everyone raves so I am curious about them, like I need more lemmings

I can thank one or two posts and then I get a message when I do it again that I'm not authorized to access that page. WTF? So to all my bimbos, I thank you all!

I have Vintage Gold in my shopping bag lol

. I am debating whether I should get Copperbeam. It looks sooo pretty, but I don't know if it will be another piggie that is so nice in the jar but I never use *ehem Azreal Blue*. Can someone please tell me cause I'm sick of making tough choices lol. I know I should save my money but I am a shopaholic.

I know, I am guilty as charged

. I swear I need to cut my credit card up sometimes, its awful. I am going to be good, I did set aside money for books already

. But of course now I am going to use my damn credit card again. Oh God I need to stop looking at the MAC site and finding stuff I want. I have to ban myself because it is getting out of control.

Copperbeam actually looks really pretty. But if you don't really gravitate towards warm colours, I'd skip this for now. If I read it right on the Overrich thread, this one will be permanent through the Pro store, so you can always order it later on.

As for sunpepper, i think it's one of the pigments with the duochrome effect. Hannah, why do I remember this one have a green duochrome to it? Am I thinking of the same colour?

I have a tiny vial of Sunpepper from last years holiday collection. I totally forgot that I had it lol. I am wondering if I should just skip Copperbeam, even thought I know they are different. Hmmm

. Sunpepper is sooooo pretty

 

[kobri]

I keep thinking that Copperbeam is like Gold Stroke.

 

[gigglegirl]

MSFs:
i use them (ie like light flush) on my cheeks over my blush, as a highlighter. some are darker (like warmed) so I have to watch and make sure I put it on lightly. others are what many refer to as glitter bombs (new vegas from personal experience comes to mind, pretty much just looks like glitter on my face)

A new msf in Oct sounds nice and I'll prob buy it, b/c for me a pinky one is much better than a golder/brown one. honestly though I think Ill get just that one, then with Light Flush and Warmed I think Ill be done.

 

[gigglegirl]

oh yeah sunpepper does have a bit of green in it.

does anyone here like old gold? i'm tempted but it looked quite yellowy slight green. debating....lol.

i wish i had a full size sunpepper and not copperbeam---copperbeam all over lid is quite dark. Sunpepper though all over lid is awesome fun!

Ok I know you all are going to throw things at me but I don't like MSF at all. The only two that I have are Lightly Flushed, I think thats the name, and Warmed. Ok maybe because I have oily skin, but these look so shiny and greasy on my cheeks. The colors are not natural, like my Lightly Flushed, Light Flush, something like that lol, it's like a orange, shrimpy shiny color, So not cute. And the warmed looked orange on me. Could be just me, but I haven"t used them more than once each.

I was just going to post this as well! I also find MSF's mostly useful as highlighters. Depends on the colour though. Some are a bit more pigmented, so they can be used as blush on paler skintones. Some give a nice glow or sheen, others are really shimmery, light Shimpagne, which I would personally reserve more for evenings out. They are really nice topped over blush as Hannah mentioned. And they're quite big, so one would last a very long time unless you were to use it daily.

I love old gold! If I were you I would try to get a sample to try it and see if you will like it. I wear it over a dark base (like black eyeliner) and it turns a really pretty mermaidy emerald green. On it's own I find it has a redish brown tinge in some lights that is not what I want once I see the green duochrome possibilities. Now, the one time I wore it over the whole lid ontop of blacktrack my brother asked me if it was goth day at work and well it was pretty severe for me, so I stick with it as a liner over blacktrack for now, tis gorgeous!

 

[gigglegirl]

the only other thing i am thinking of getting is bobbi brown gunmetal e/s.....but the 27 price tag scares me. but i freaking LOVE greys.....lol I will prob check it out this week.

Like Nora and Hannah said MSF make great highlighters. I mostly use them as highlighters especially petticoat and lightscapade. I have been using petticoat mixed with pleasantry mineralize blush and it makes the perfect shimmery pink. I also use shimpagne and lightscapade as all over for certain looks. Kelly you should get at least one MSF when they come back in October. Did I creat a new lemming for you!?! Watch out though because MSFs can be addicting!

I really need to get old gold! That sounds gorgeous Kelly!

I am going to see Death Cab for Cutie tomorrow at Bumbershoot (local music festival) tomorrow. I adore them and like I said before I just hope that it doesn't rain.

 

[BrokefromMAC]

Ok one last quick question about Copperbeam. Is it close to Copppering eyeshadow at all? I have that already

.

I've given up on BB and other brands that are far too expensive in Canada considering how close our dollar is.

This includes NARS and Laura Mercier. I'm even getting a little annoyed these days at how much MAC has gone up over the last few years. Wow, I sound grumpy... sorry!

 

[stv578]

Well ladies, I'm off to bed! Hope you all have a great holiday tomorrow.

Hannah, I think I'll give Sunpepper a try tomorrow since you seem to like it so much! I picked this up at the EL Warehouse sale last December for $9 and have yet to try it!
