Ahhhhh...lovely I'm sure. Thanks
Thank you.It will look lovely on you! What else do you have your eye on?
Well, its kinda nice that you get to see pics & swatches ahead of time. Hopefully you will catch it early. Enjoy!
OMG - I LOVE that "Snuggly & Lush"! That scarf is seriously out of controlAww, I was thinking that it would pair up nicely with Poised as I was ordering it.
Ahhhhh...lovely I'm sure. Thanks
I'd love to get a lot more from Apres Chic, but I'm low on funds. I'm still debating on getting Silver Birch MES.
And then there's the Chanel spring collection coming out, too...

I feel that way about the 187, so I guess I need to add the 188 to my list.

Liba, you sold me on this one and it was nowhere near my list. Once you gave the 'similar magic to FM' speech I knew I had to have it. (To go with my ridiculous number of blushes). I convinced myself that it will be a natural highlight/blush.

Ooh! I ordered both. I'm hoping Poised will arrive Monday before the holiday - I'll make sure to try them together.

Loving the dark hair on you - gorgeous!SR on my cheeks
Just Wonderful l/l w/ HC on my lips (GORGEOUS combo)
Eyes: Ice Inner Corner, Mossy Green Color Tattoo on the outer 3/4 of lid w/ SB on top (LOVE LOVE LOVE this pairing!), UD's Naked to blend out my crease, UD's Buck to deepen crease and outer v, UD's Virgin to highlight browbone
Sorry for the crappy iPhone Pic quality...
That's how Hot Chocolate looks on me too. I'll have to try it with Spice liner - I bought Morning Coffee to go with it. I think it would look different with Burgandy liner too. I love chameleon lippies.

Looks very similar on me - our skin tone is very close. I love it! It looks far more shimmery when heavily swatched than it does lightly applied.Stereo Rose on NC20

I hope you like it! I'm going to the mall tomorrow to get my BU. It's actually different from Glamourdaze on me, but I love it. I don't feel like ordering it online. I want instant gratification. I'm going to get Fireside MES while I'm there. Ice and Silver Birch will have to wait until January. I'm still debating an Apres Chic BU. I wore it today with Stereo Rose and really like it, but don't know if I need to back it up. It's a more opaque Fire Sign on me and I have 2 of those.

I've racked my brain, but I can't figure out FM. What does it mean?Would you want something less white and peachy like FM and more ivory + nude/apricot? It does the same sort of thing on me as FM, but less pale and retro and more natural looking, also with more sheen than something like Elude, but less than a lot of MSFs. It's really good at getting rid of freckles and unevenness and dullness. I know Mac-Guy was feeling like it came out with an orange cast on him, so if you're NW, you probably will want to test it - it may bring out the apricot in it more. It's one of the best no-makeup look face products of the whole year for me, maybe the best, though! I love it and am actually considering a BU, which I NEVER do with blush and highlighters, but have done with Elude and FM. Like I was saying before, I wouldn't want to use it over foundation - it's more for a very fresh faced, natural look.
It works great under the eyes the way Elude does, btw. I know you like using Elude that way...
I will definitely take a before and after picture of it on a day I don't have to use flash, like today.
EDIT: Since people are comparing it to Light Year, it's got more coverage than a single layer of LY and is less powdery - more melt-into-your-skin. I don't think it'd be good all over the face like MSFs, it's more for the cheeks and a touch on the nose perhaps, because of the type of sheen it has. Even with more coverage, I think it winds up looking more natural than LY. I definitely like LY, but AG I loooooooove.
BTW - I tried Fireside with Winter's Pursuit and it looked really good. I keep confusing Winter's Pursuit because I think Fireside is a better name for it. I would think the orangey coppery one would be called Fireside but it's not. But I put Winter's Pursuit all over the lid, Fireside in the outer V and Ice in the inner corner.

If everything is still available on Thursday I am going to get another SR and PP. I love them. I also might pick up HC and AB. I am really wondering how AB blush will look on me.

I think it's the Forever Marilyn Beauty Powder. That's why I have to write the names out. I get confused by all of the abbreviations and forget what we're talking about.

ok so I got it. LOL How should I wear it? Under my eyes and on my cheeks only?Would you want something less white and peachy like FM and more ivory + nude/apricot?

I'm considering a backup of HC. I've been seeing a lot of taupe, nude, mauve lips on tv and in magazines lately. I love what I see out there, so hopefully I'll get the same effect.
I fought HC and HC won!
My gorgeous friend! Love HC on you!
