At least you hopefully don't have your credit card number memorized. Heh.
Seriously? Avoid the pigment until after you take everything else. Plus, you're really iffy on it right now. Shopaholism is hard to kick, I know a lot of us get that. If you decide you absolutely must have it, get a sample. I know, samples suck, but at the same time, it satisfies the shopping need, won't break the bank and lets you figure out how much you like it and will realistically use it.

I agree with Samantha about getting some samples. It will cost a lot less and you can try them out before you buy a whole jar. I love MAC so much but it isn't worth going broke over. It took me a bit to realize that but it is so true.

They are a highlighter, bronzer, blush...depending on the colour, they can be worn to amplify any look, or just worn alone. Northern Light is an amazing colour that is a bronzer, and Light Flush all over the face is really nice. I love them to death. Light Flush is really nice because it isn't overly glittery-Northern Light has a good amount of glitter in it but it is one thing I cannot live without. You can bet your bottom dollar I WILL be getting two of both Petticoat and So Ceylon, and then one Gold Deposit and Soft & Gentle. I am SO glad Gold Deposit is perm!

I think the key thing to MSFs which earns them so much love is the fact that some of them can simply make you glow. Also, they are incredibly versatile and essentially anyone can find a way to use each and every one of them.
Lightscapade and Shimpagne are probably my favourites. Lightscapade is absolutely my favourite if I can only pick one. I have 12 of 18 currently existing shades. I will have 15 of 19 when stuff gets released come October. They're pretty to look at.
My two least favourites that I have are probably warmed (quite orange on me) and Naked You (holy cheese glitter bomb!).
Edit: I also use Porcelain Pink and Light Flush quite a bit. Glissade is pretty. New Vegas is fun, but not something I reach for a lot, as I'm just not a huge person for gold, and it's a yellowy golden colour. Petticoat is pretty neat, but needs to be applied lightly for the fair folk, and shooting star is definitely a bronzer for me. Northern Lights is darker, too, and more bronzery for me. Gold Spill is ok, but not super remarkable for me.
Honestly, they're all pretty neat and serve their purpose upon occasion, but if I was going to be sensible and pick just a few, I'd choose Lightscapade, Shimpagne, Porcelain Pink, Light Flush, the new Soft & Gentle and a darker one for a contouring/bronzer type dealy.

Ah, contouring. The one thing I totally cannot do, besides a smokey eye. Seriously, I can't get it where I want it so sometimes I just feel like slapping on Belightful and Dancing Light and calling it good. However, without my Northern Light, Spaced Out, and so forth, I don't really feel human.
Hope everybody enjoys their holiday...I am enjoying it by working! Yay Manish money! Figure with 14.5 hours of holiday/OT pay, I can get my stuff and still have cash to put towards Christmas. I have to do Christmas big, however I do get big stuff too, so all it evens out.
Oh, an update on LacquerGate: I went into my usual Starbucks before work yesterday and was chatting with the partners there like always, and when I told them about what the deal is, they were like "HOW DARE THEY!".

I wore the Gunmetal with CCB Root as a base then Mega-Rich and GM at corners & slightly above crease.
Gunmetal has a slight blueish cast to it & some shimmer. The consistency is great.
I just got BB Smoke - a little bit of a black grey but not over the top black, but deep enough grey.

I am! as much as one can but I have actually been in such a cleaning/tidying mood today. It probably does partly stem from neglecting cleaning up around here when studying, but now i'm all guns blazing so am wanting to tackle my room, the bathroom towels/mats in addition to all i've done today. oh plus my brushes need a serious clean, so Ill do that today.
Next weekend I plan on doing more cleaning (the actual bathroom not just accessories) and then I want to reorganize my makeup! somehow, we'll see what plans end up popping up. For the room that is used as an office, I'm wanting to make a custom desk. Basically it would be just a continuous workspace around the room (its a small room though) considering how crafty my mom is, and then id have some space for my makeup, computer, scrapbooking/jewelry making.
now you may ask, has Hannah skilled at making something custom wood designed like a desk? no, no, please don't think that. It is partly due to the HGTV that seems to constantly be on, plus my mom's creativity perhaps finally flowing through my brain, that I have these plans in my head. To translate them into reality? Probably more than a weekend project. But I will try and sketch out something, b/c these two desks we have here just don't cut it (my keyboard is in a constant struggle with my eyeshadow pots, brushes, and paint pots for space).
but they make it look so easy, no? Get some wood, cut and sand, paint/lacquer and screw together. lol I think I'll need to be doing some kind of research!

As a matter of fact, karlasugar has a blog that has awsome swatches on her skin - I think she's fairly light. And, the last I was there, she had a bunch of BB shadows swatched all the way up her arm
I'd have to check to see what the url is exactly - something like - karlasugar.blog.com ??? Ack, I can't remember. Maybe just google karla sugar BB swatches & it should come up.
Haha, i've been a cleaning maniac too this weekend...drawers, bathrooms, bedrooms etc.
plus, I did my business work stuff
DH cooked turkey sausages on the grill so I didn't have to cook

Does anyone else really want to slap the few people who have been digging up threads from 2005/early 2006 that are now irrelevant? Things like people asking for time-related recommendations and the like, who, if they are still around, really aren't going to care about someone's rec today since they needed it years ago?!
UGH.
UGH.

Well, some threads of that age could potentially bear some relevance today. Time-specific recommendation threads and really old haul threads, however, might as well be dead - they'd save a bunch of server space keeping it cleaned up like that, too!
