Building my Collection (Slow but sure...)

Here's a few things I've gotten recently:

This was my first major MAC purchase (4/1/07), though it's not really THAT much -- lipglass in 'Corps-de-Ballet', lipstick in 'Mocha', and paint in 'Bare Canvas'.

I also got the Ballonacy Quad, the Danse Quad, the 219 pencil brush and the 224 blending brush, but I don't have pictures of those.

... and tonight's haul, which is considerably more interesting ...

I decided to go in and have a MA help me pick a foundation and concealer. I've never been ANY good with base makeup (picking colors nor applying it)! The MA picked NW20 for me and applied it using the 187 duo brush -- I was really pleased with the results! She insisted that my skin was nice (something I've always been very self-concious about, ha ha) and there was no need for me to buy concealer. So instead, I splurged on another brush, eyeshadows, blush, and lipglass...

Select SPF 15 foundation (NW20), Powder blush in 'Margin', Viva Glam V lipglass, eyeshadows ('Mulch', 'Amber Lights', and 'Expensive Pink'), and the 187 and 129 brushes.

I wanted to get the NW20 powder too, but they were all out.

Here's a couple of pics of the foundation, powder, blush, and Viva Glam V lipglass (no eye makeup in these pics).

PLEASE excuse my crazy eyebrows LOL. I just moved and I haven't found a new salon to get them waxed/shaped yet... I'm on a mission to get that done this weekend! Eeeep.

I've been eyeing up margin blush for a while and all the e/s's you got! Will have to stop by my counter now, haha.

Have you tryed applying the foundation yourself with the #187 yet?

Im thinking of changing back to Liquid foundation and using that brush, but I've never been good at applying liquid ones, I can never seem to blend it round my nose etc properly

I tried using the Select SPF this morning with the 187 brush... and I couldn't be happier!! I've NEVER been able to apply liquid foundation correctly and I'd always given up on it and gone back to powder -- this brush makes it SO much easier to blend than using fingers or a sponge.
