Today, it was Warm Companion. How aptly named. how did you like it?

I haven't worn it yet, and while I'm sure I'll be able to rock it alone, I know it'll look beautiful layered over other lippies.

Or we may be on the new show, Make-Up Hoarders...

I'm in... i still have an eyeshadow i bought in 1962...

 

[lilinah]

I'm already beginning to show "skippers remorse" but luckily it's still available..
with that being said I only can afford to get one more product because I'm broke lol (+ gotta start saving for Archie's collection)

I can't decide between Hot chocolate lipstick, or Amber Glow MB...

my fellow Specktrettes, which of the two would you choose?

Are you more of a lipstick gal or a blush gal?

Me, i wear blush; but if i'm only putting on one thing, it's likely to be lipstick. Blush only goes on when i do a full face.

So, as it was inscribed on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, "Know thyself". Which are you more likely to use?

Me too! I like the control i get with the 188, so i can get that color JUST exactly where i want it. I'm not a fluff-it all-over-my-face kinda blush guy. Most so-called blush brushes are way too big for me.

Before i got the 188 i was using a very soft fluffy angled eye shadow brush (!!), then buffing the blush and/or highlight and/or contour with my powder blush to blend it (that way, no color streaks).

I luuuuv my MAC 188.

I will have to say a non-skunk brush works very well on AG and AB. A plain old 129 seems to buff in the sheen with less swirling needed. It looks good either way, just more on the satin end of things with the 129 and more of a highlighted finish with the 188.

I really would love a mac 165. Why didn't mac repromote it? I heard that one got it in a cco but mine does not have it.

get both.....I am crazy for both lipsticks and blushes so I had to have 3 lippies and the Amber Glow.

Hi! I need my Woc NC50/55 help, would the Apres Chic mineralize blush in Alpine Bronze be a good choice or not for my skin tone?

 

[MACJunkie85]

I am in LOVE with SR and PP! I am so glad I got them! I think SR is slowly replacing ES as my favorite MSF.

Silver Birch if you want something versatile that can go simple for day or very metallic and vampy for a light smokey nighttime look.

Ice for a perfect NW10 shimmery sparkly nude (though you get the same color but with extra glitter bits if you buy Light Touch PP, which is perm)

Seriously liba, your posts send me straight to the nearest Mac counter.....off I go to get Silver Birch

She did the same thing to me with Amber Glow, but I am glad she did, I love it. Thank you LIBA!

Everyone needs Haute Altitude - it's NOTHING like Mehr on me, and it's so so pretty!

It sounds gorgeous!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE AC lipstick

Its like Strawberry Jam all over my lips

The texture is divine

Still waiting for mine to arrive but for sure I'll think "Strawberry Jam" when I try it out

 

[Medgal07]

I've bought almost every new MAC brush that's come out in the past 2 years, and there's only been one that I've regretted (the 234 - I have no clue what to use it for!) I'll think about it...

I use my 234 almost daily for blending, especially the crease & above. It's the clean one that I reach for to pull everything together.
