So did you return sucks ass or fashion patch is in addition to suck ass assemblage?

This collection is slowly assaulting our wallets it keeps coming back for our cash.

I got Girlish Romp in the mail yesterday and tried doing a look with it. The peach color showed up exactly like the white/yellow color so I added Paradisco over it. Now I add the pink color and try to make it more pigmented, then add purple to my crease...that wasn't working, the more stuff I added, the less pigmented it became. I tried adding Creme De Violet, Lotusland, Stylin...WTF?? Maybe after I buy Eccentricity, the dark purple in that will work out.

Okay guys. I hardly spend money on makeup anymore...

I need help narrowing down my list. Can someone help me?

I want:
Girlish Romp, Odd Bits, and Eccentricity MES (and the BLUE from Fashion Patch, if anyone has a dupe for that)

Color Crafted, Madly Creative, and Made with Love lipsticks

Eclectic Edge lipglass

Sunny by Nature MSF?

Warm Blend MSF

Style Demon blush

Now I cant go crazy because Im broke but maybe if I spend 50 now, and 50 in 2 weeks when I get paid again (if theres anything left!)

Can yall tell me what is a necessity, and what I can scratch off the list????

Ladies, I've never used a bronzer in my life, I am chinese and an NC25, will bronzers work for me? I got Cheeky bronze from reading all the reviews and it seems it's a subtle bronze color....now I am worried it will be too strong on me? Btw, I ordered it sight unseen! Eep!

You should get Eclectic Edge, Madly Creative, and Style Demon (TOTAL=$53.00) so that you can save money. You can get the rest of what you want when you get paid next time. That's what I'm doing.

The MSF's will sell out far quicker than the lipglosses and lipsticks....I would get a MSF far quicker than I would get a l/g and l/s anyday...But that is IMO...But you should get the items you really want the most 1st ...then if the others are still there then good but at least you will have the most wanted items

This has been bothering me since I went to see the collection yesterday!.

I took a look at Colour Crafted l/s in store and it was the only lipstick that really hit me, but I didn't purchase. I already have Snob and Angel as far as the pink lipsticks go, but that's it. I've always avoided them because my hair is a very bright red.

I'm NW15. For ref, Snob is actually extremely flattering on me (as well as Angel). I have pigmented lips.

I never tried Colour Crafted on, but was wondering whether it's too warmtoned for me?. Should I forget about it or is it something to have?. I certainly don't want the "Saint Germain" look, which is the majority of my worries, but am kind of drawn to how Colour Crafted is such a feminine, girly looking pink.

If anyone knows of any swatches on actual lips with my skintone, I'd really appreciate it.

Girl I agree, Suzanne Malveaux is gorgeous. We'll have to duke it out in our next life to see who gets to be her.

Yeah I have Gentle, Love Thing, Merrily and Pleasantry. Is it really similar enough to those to not get it?

The problem is I want them all.

Mostly the eyeshadows, but.....I dunno. I dunno if I should get all THREE MES I want, that seems like Im overdoing it, but they are so pretty. Tish what do u think of Sunny by Nature vs. Warm...Blend? I have Brunette, and Eversun and Refined Golden, as far as brown/warm cheek products go (i saw the swatches, but im still lost). Refined Golden is terrible, because it doesnt show up on me as far as I remember. Can u tell me the difference between SBN and Warm Blend? TIA

Yeah, your right. I forgot that the MSFs will sell out quicker than the lipsticks and the marbelized lipglasses. I think the MSFs will be my top priority to get.

I'm NW15. From what I can remember, swatched next to Colour Crafted, Snob was much more mauvey and a tinge darker. For ref, Snob is actually extremely flattering on me (as well as Angel). I have pigmented lips.

Erin is your exact tone NW15 and this is Colour Crafted l/s on her....

To me it is a cross between St Germain and Snob...

SBN is more matte and is really just a great great bronzer if nothing else....almost NO shimmer what so ever.....It is nothing like Refined Golden it is beautiful....It is in the family of Eversun .. This shows up great...unlike Refined Golden....an be worn solo

Warm Blend has a bit more shimmer and it is a warm bronzey brown gold ...can be worn as a blush or a great highlighter....It is in the same family as So Ceylon but prettier...There are face swatches in the CC Swatch thread...

I like WB the best...But I like SNB as well...so Hell I am useless I know....

Ahh, thank you for that.

Hmm, I'm not so sure now. I think part of my lemming is that I just love the colour itself -- not thinking of how it'll look with other things or the overall picture!.

I don't think Cheeky Bronze will work as a bronzer for you, it is far too light and has way too much sheen (I personally think bronzers should be more matte). Have you tried Refined Golden bronzer? I'm NC35 (just slightly tanner than you) and I love it.

But don't worry, I'm sure Cheeky Bronze will look fab on you nonetheless, just that it's not going to be bronzer material.

But I called dibs on being her in the next life. you can be whats her name O'Brien.

I have read that it looks a lot like merrily but with less shimmer...cant remember exactly where since i was researching it so aggressively...I read everything...everywhere!
heres what Temptalia had to say, with swatches:

and here are the ones you already have:

MAC Sonic Chic Mineralize Blushes Swatches and Photos (nb: all of these are still on MAC's website except merrily)

Get eclectic edge for sure, then warm blend (it is also good for eyeshadow). I didn't find any of the lipsticks all that unique though they are pretty. I agree with tish that the msf's will go first.

Yay CAM is back! Haven't seen you around in ages!

I would say get Warm Blend or Sunny By Nature, whichever you like better between the two, then get Eclectic Edge because it's more unique.
Or if you end up liking both MSFs, get those 2 first, since altogether the 2 MSFs will cost you around 50.
