I tried Crazy Haute today. It is really pigmented, and I didn't even put that much on! It had more colour than a lot of lustres I have tried in that colour range, it's really like a liquid lipstick!

I tried CB today, and it wasn't a glitterbomb at all, wasn't even overly shimmery, not like the MB's.

Katie, I can only use glissade as a highlight, but CB i can use as a light blush. I also find that CB is a straight up peachy/bronze colour, not much pink in it, whereas glissade (iirc) is more a peachy/pinky colour. Also, CB definitely does not have glitter chunks in it.

Scotch tape! Use the tape to get rid of the fall out, it's super quick and easy!

Alright, so I realized today what a huge collection this really is! I feel like I have purchased far too much and really, there are many, many items that I did skip! And I just have to accept that every summer, I will go nuts with the mineralized collection! I did last year after saying I wasn't going to go crazy, and I did it again!!!

So I added to my already far too long of a list a few more items today. I got Crazy Haute, Eclectic Edge, Odd Bits MES (the MA said it was gorgeous, don't need to tell me twice!) and the 131. There were only 3 131's left.

So I have proposed to DH that I will go on a no-buy, but I will allow myself mineralized products. He wants it in writing, lol!

I Agree!!! I almost wanted to Bu this one too..but since I am on a no bu I didn't ....POOOO

Are any of the MBs similar to Stereo Rose?

My Stereo Rose hit pan over a year ago and I've let the tag end of it just sit in my makeup drawer while I find a similarly sheen-y coral.

Ya, I'm not really big on back-ups either, because i have yet to hit pan on anything. So many many times I get really excited about a product, declare I'm going to back it up but never do. I always remind myself about the inventive eyes quad, which i adored when it came out. I still have a brand new inventive eyes quad in a box! I love it, but have far too many other eyeshadows that I don't get that much use out of any one item! The only other items I have backed-up were Solar White (a no brainer and one I will definitely get to eventually!) and Et Tu Bouquet (this i regret, but at least I got it %25 off!). As for SNB, dunno, it just looked so darn flattering and natural on, i couldn't bare the thought of being without it (what if one of my little monkey's got their hands on it, and crash?!) It's more like an insurance policy!

I hardly ever buy back ups for this same reason, but this one i just fell in love with and i cant bare the thought of oneday runnig out of it! I been wearing it everyday since i go it.

maybe ill pump ma brakes for a min a wait to see if the initial hype for the collection dies down then check back an see if i REALLY need it or not....
thanks for the reality check

 

[TISH1124]

I really like it too and I have just been wearing it solo with no blush at all...But No BU's we can do it....can't we ????

I bought trimming talk and the 226 brush. Trimming Talk is hot! I wore purple rite today and all the chicks in sephora AND mac were like "what's that! You look awesome". I feel so good when MA's tell me that. They thought I was wearing plum dandy. Lol I had to scoop up the 226. I go for stretches without doing shadow, but I'll try to stop. I had to get this brush because it looks so handy. Besides I have too many mufe shadows not to wear them often.

I'm loving Trimming Talk too! It reminds me of a more wearable Rocking Chick. I need to do a comparison swatch

I will try to post one later.........

thankfully there haven't been too many repeat questions! although all these comparison questions are getting a bit outta control!

your powder should always be the same colour as your foundation (or as close as possible)!

you're right neon. when i swatched it that's the first thing i thought. i just forgot to mention it when i posted the swatches.

MSF and MSFN are two completely different products. sounds like you're allergic to MSFs.

Cheeky Bronze, Glissade, Rocking Chick, Trimming Talk




Cheeky Bronze is more of a golden peach where glissade is more of a champagne peach. Cheeky bronze is darker and is less gritty.

I think trimming talk is a great option if you missed out on rocking chick. Trimming talk is less metallic but more glossy and it is a slightly more magenta pink. Both are gorgeous!!!

 

[darkishstar]

I haven't gone through anything yet either!
So no back-ups for me. And my buying is finally coming to an end too. I've also stopped with the creamier products, like lippies, powders will last me, but man, the lippies are killing me!

Because there's always something new and pretty coming out!

 

[omgitzstephanie]

If you guys get a BU of Sunny By Nature, I will too!

Thats a good excuse, is it not?

 

[TISH1124]

^^ I'm not gonna.....something else will come out in a few collections that I will like just as well..plus I have never used up a MSF ever

 

[omgitzstephanie]

True.. It's not like we're ever gonna hit pan on a MSF right?


Hopefully..

 

[dreamiez]

I'm wondering.

how does the MAC 131 compares to MAC 187 and 188?

is the shape and size of 131 similar to that of 129?

thanks!

I'm just thinking Daft Pink as i don't really have anything too similar and Hand Finish because of the raves and also the way it looks on Ernie. However saying all this i'm completely undecided :S. I have msfs like Petticoat,Porcelain Pink, Light Flush, Blonde and Redhead. I have no mineral blushes but blushes i have include ones like Fun and Games, Tippy,On a mission, Sunbasque, Dollymix, and Coygirl. MES i think i'll skip because i depot my shadows so the ones i have already get left out. Lippies the ones i want are sold out here (Color crafted and made with love) and the lipglasses don't interest me atm. Woooo that was a long post

I agree, everything always looks gorgeous on Ernie.
So then we are about the same skin tone. From the colours you already have, Cheeky Bronze would make a nice additions if you like colours like this.
Smooth Merge is really nice, but pretty close in colours to Petticoat and Blonde, so if you want a reason to skip it, there you are

Daft Pink I would say at least looks very close to Dollymix (don't own it), so maybe Hand-Finish would be a better choice? Although it is a bit on the lighter side, but gorgeous nonetheless.
And Style Demon looks very pretty, but I think it depends if you want to have a blush you have to be careful when applying and taking the time to do that.
Too bad Made With Love is already sold out on the UK site, because it is freaking gorgeous, MLBmorecoral for me.
Did that help?
