what should i get first? (i have 1 back2mac item i can get.. thinking about getting all that glitters?) ..

any suggestions?

and i'm freakin' lemming the 109 brush like crazy! AHHHH helpie?

 

[Junkie]

You need more purples up in that list!

I'd say Nocturnelle, Parfait Amour, Plum Dressing FTW!

Then Steamy and Antiqued

I'm also partial to Pinch Me...I'm lemming that too!

And if you get the 187, that'll be around your budget.

 

[purrtykitty]

For everyday looks, I'd go with:

Blackberry e/s
Sushi Flower e/s
Antiqued e/s
Dainty MB
Springsheen Blush

I think the 187 is a must, but you might try looking at a CCO, if you have one near. I got mine at one, and I try to get as many brushes there as possible. The face brushes, especially are kinda expensive, and I try to save where I can.

 

[RandomnessWithK]

i unfortunately do not have a CCO near me (closest one is about 3-4 hours away!)

okay so for sure i should get the 187 brush (I am currently using the MAC face & body liquid foundation and loving it - just don't have something that great to put it on lol - the girl at mac used a 109 on me to apply it and was just in love with how she applied it- hence why i put it on the list..)

oh and just a quick question - i dont have a bronzer (well just one from elf) but was wondering what bronzer would be good for my skin tone (Nc35)

 

[purrtykitty]

The 187 is a great multi-purpose blush. A lot of people use it for foundation, I mostly use it for bright blushes.

I don't know much about bronzers, but I think you're looking for Golden. A lot of the pale ladies and gents use Refined Golden which is a tad lighter. You'll probably want to try the bronzer on, though to make sure you get the right match.

 

[Junkie]

Cheeky Bronze MSF might work really well for you. Its a bit too dark for me, but you're two levels higher in MAC foundation, so it'll probably look more natural. And you can use it lightly on your chest and arms too if you wanted. I do that with my gold pigments

 

[dietcokeg]

your life will not be complete without the 187!!

 

[LindaP]

Trace Gold is a great blush, can be used as a bronzer since summer's not too far ahead.

 

[obscuria]

Springsheen is currently my favorite blush, so get that!

 

[RandomnessWithK]

thanks everyone!

so for sure, i know i'm getting (the empty 15 eyeshadow palette and the empty 6 blush palette) the 187 brush, i'm undecided with trace gold, pinch me & springsheen blush..

as for eyeshadows.. not sure really which to get first! AHH!

so i think i like nocturnelle, parfait amour, plum dressing, antiqued and sushiflower.. heck maybe even coppering lol!

 

[Junkie]

Coppering is very pretty too!

I promise Plum Dressing will be a fave of yours! It was my HG eyeshadow for the longest time...I used it almost everyday!

 

[RandomnessWithK]

thank hun! i'm for sure dead on getting that 187 brush (or 188? lol AHH!)

i'm undecided with Cheeky Bronze MSF or trace gold, pinch me & springsheen blush.. so big hmmm

as for eyeshadows.. i think for sure i'll get plum dressing... but hmmm what else?! nocturnelle... i want something that i know i'll use for everyday at least for now while i'm still saving more money!

 

[RandomnessWithK]

okay - thanks to an awesome member on here, i was able to purchase a few of the colors suggested (nocturnelle, parfait amour, sushi flower) to name a few..

so i updated my "already have" list and also my "want list" lol..

im just unsure now about the 187 brush, since i have a sonia kashuk duo fiber brush.. is it reaaaally necessary? (just thinking maybe instead of the brush i can get more blushes/eyeshadows) lol..

AHHH! lol choices choices!

 

[RandomnessWithK]

okay so i ended up going last night...

and so i already bought the 15 empty palette.. but my collection is still ever growing.. they were sold out of a lot of the colors i wanted.. so i only ended up with 5 shadows (club, blackberry, coppering, plum dressing, vibrant grape and one blush which was springsheen)...

i really wanted antiqued, expensive pink, hepcat, and hot hot hot and perky but they were sold out.. boo so i'll have to add those to my ISO list..

 

[RandomnessWithK]

OKAY update 3/18

i updated my already have/want list..

i have 1 set of b2m and not sure what to get from the list first..

i feel like i have a bunch of dark colors mostly? what do you think i should get?

been really lemming all that glitters - but if i already have something similar.. what to get?
