Saw the Sin blush in swatches, I wonder how that compares to the darker side of MAC's Azela Blossom. Don't suppose anyone has both to swatch?

Spob (head of product development, I think) and Lucy from the Trafford Centre counter (short, dark hair) came into college yesterday to give us a presentation/ demo. They were both really lovely, passionate about the brand and very knowledgeable about the industry.

Spob explained how literally everything has been designed with the MUA in mind, but packaged in an 'average consumer' friendly way, (in Spob's words, 'It might be a lipstick, but you can use it on your eyes, cheeks, body - it's just been packed like this for the consumer').

Did you know that the packaging never has sharp edges, so it's comfier for an MUA to handle? AND their face powders were sent back to the manufacturer 37 times to keep getting them milled even finer (the last time the manufacturer said 'Any finer, and there will be nothing left.')

ANYWAY. What I really came to say was that soon they will be releasing student kits. From what I saw (and remember!) they contain -

4 x liquid foundation
2 x loose powders
6 x blush (powder and creme)
8 x lipstick
5 x pencils
1 x primer
2 x loose pigments
12 x eyeshadows

I think Spob is still playing with what to put in them though.

Also, there will be more foundation colours coming out - mainly those with golden undertones.

Wow lynne you lucky gal! Thanks sooo much for this. Isnt Miss Box such an inspiration? I love her skeleton hand clips.

Does anybody know the exact release date for body electrics yet?

 

[Steel Magnolia]

Ps. does anyone know how the sealing gel compares to MAC's water based mixing medium? Is it worth investing in?

I prefer illamasqua's sealing gel to water based mixing medium to be honest. I know you get much more product with mixing medium but i find the sealing gel easier to work with and it's a dream with their eyebrow cakes.

Hey guys I had a little haul today. Is it bad that the counter manager knows me by name lol?!

I got... Light liquid foundation in LF135 (a PERFECT match for me - lighter and yellower than NC15)
Matte primer
Satin primer
Loose powder in LP115 (Im addicted to the loose powders)
Powder brush
Highlighter brush. (This is my 51st high quality mu brush! Madness for a 17 year old lol..)

I havent had much of a chance to play with the products yet but when I do, Ill let y'all know what I think of them. I was so plesantly suprised by the sheer softness and high quality of the brushes. Unreal as they dont actually feel synthetic at all!

One thing I agree with is that you HAVE to give the foundation and the primers a good shake before use as they can separate. So far they're pretty nice though. The light liquid foundation is basically a nice little step up from a tinted moisturiser and is lovely for sheering down the rich liquid foundation.

If anybody has any questions, feel free to ask!

Im gonna post the entire pricelist in euros below if thats ok - you british gals are sooo lucky the prices are on the site haha!

Yup! Which one do you want?

 

[Winthrop44]

^^ I've found everything but the Light Liquid on Makeup Alley and/or Sephora (and they are all out for my sensitive skin for one reason or another

), so if you have the Light it would be wonderful!!!
