my MA Carina is soooo sweet!! i told her the whole deal with my card when i went in today to take a look at the Starflash Shadows and she's like here i'll give you a pigment sample and i got a sample of Circa Plum which is the pigment that i didn't get.

Yay!!! This is my first brush set also. You will love it. What colour are you getting?

 

[ckara]

Boston/Eastern MA babes! The MAC counter at Macy's in Downtown Crossing is going to be getting stuff in some of the Colour Form stuff because apparently it isn't selling that well or whatever. They won't be getting in brush sets. Check it out.

I just got my green brush set

I wanted to get the purple one at first. I never really saw the real thing.. but yesterday when I went to the Bay here, and I saw the bright green text on the brushes and I fell so in love with it..
So I got the green one instead and am loving the packaging.. the color's so beautiful

I am glad you like it. I love the big make up bag, its fitting so much stuff.

Alright, I need some help/input on the richmetal highlighters...

I wore Dark Influence yesterday as a base under Circa Plum pigment. And OMG, it creased beyond belief!!

I mean... REALLY really bad. It also made my eyelids look oily by the end of the day. Its such a beautiful color & really made Circa Plum pop, but I'm scared to use it again. I looked like such a oily creasy mess half way through the day.

So... my question is, are you ladies who got the RMHs using them as bases or over another base (UDPP? Paint Pot? Paint? Shadestick?) and what has your experience been with them thus far?

The only thing I used under the RMH is my BE bisque powder. But, I don't have problems with anything creasing. Thats too bad

I know, I was really disappointed! I was hoping Dark Influence would be the perfect purple base.

I guess I will try: a) using UDPP underneath or b) dusting some mattifying powder on my lids before using it. Its weird because I don't have oily lids; if anything, I have dry lids.

I am still on the fence about Female, I think it is a GORGEOUS color. But it has just sat there is my drawer since I bought it, I have only swatched it 2x on my hand. I just don't see myself using it.

I want the advanced set in purple and the basic set (in red).

Female is soooo pretty in the pot, but when I swatched it, it turned green on me, weird.

 

[abbyquack]

ok so this is super late i know, but i just got 2 of 3 things in the mail from colour forms! yay!

i got the purple brush set, and the brushes are way nice, they all feel soft and new! I think since my larger brushes are getting so old and used, it's nice to see new ones!! I will be using my SE 212 a lot since my normal size one is kind of beat up! The ONLY one that isn't as nice as I expected is the 187 SE. It doesn't look or feel like my full size one, the hairs feel and look like crappy synthetic version! It's kind of disappointing but I think it will achieve the same end.

I also got Pop Circle which is quite a pretty pink, with a mauve tint to it. I have never used a lustre before but this one has proved to be pretty good in color pay off.

On an OT note, I also got the Smashbox brush set, and I think I am even more excited about it than the MAC one! They are three useful brushes that are somewhat different from any MAC designs, and good quality to suit.

Happy day!!

I wanted to look at that color when I was at Nordies but forgot. Now I'm glad that I didn't get it.

Yeah, I would use UDPP underneath, it will help a lot.

 

[garnetmoon]

i really want to place my Colourforms order but i'm still on the fence about whether or not i need 2 each of Pop Circle & Inner Hue lippies.

It would help a lot if someone could tell me:
~How does Pop Circle compare to Too Fab from Dresscamp?

~And how does Inner Hue compare to Strawbaby from Fafi (like does it have the same base color w/o the glitter in Strawbaby)?

TIA!!!!
