Glad it worked out for you! I was a little worried when the other ladies said it was giving off ash so ill just have to see how it works for me. I'll still like two shades darker than you but I plan to use it lightly with a fan or blending brush.

Should I buy the blushes or backups of Forever Marilyn?
I know I should get more b/u as I have a ridiculous number of blushes, but they are my Achilles heel...

If the BP is a MUST-HAVE HG item for you, I'd go for that! TPC is already a repromote, so you may be able to track that down in the future in regular packaging. And Legendary doesn't seem so unique that we haven't seen variations of it before and will continue to in the future. There will ALWAYS be new pretty blushes, but a HG BP is a little harder to come by.

Thanks for the advice! I'm going to order a couple more when it's still available :)

I'd get both and skip another collection. It's easier for me to skip entire collections, but stock up on releases that fit my complexion. You don't need to BU the blushes, but I'd BU the BP, especially if you wear it all-over.

I'm so tempted to go to Mac tomorrow and try to get backup on the lipsticks....... If they still have them if not, maybe pick up the lip liners.

Amazingly Gorgeous dear! The BP looks fabulous on you.

I talked with a MAC artist this morning about the BP & it can work on WOC you just have to use the right brush & do a sheer kinda highlight with it.

It was like playing a make-up version of Russian Roulette ordering the same things from both Macy's and Nordies just in case one of them cancelled (which has happened TWICE to me) and after all the madness ending up with doubles of the eyeshadows and Phiff ... but the lipsticks not so lucky

Yeah but the lipsticks and blushes are not on the site. (On my end maybe I should switch to the regular site) I'm able to add anything to my bag just not what I want lol. Are the lipsticks and blushes showing up but won't let you add?

They haven't been on the site since yesterday morning. They were there briefly yesterday and then disappeared. Then they came back for another 5 minutes and disappeared. That happened several times until they stopped showing up at all. But I couldn't add anything to my cart each time that they did appear. I was glued to the computer yesterday and refreshed constantly. I never saw a moment where I could order the lipsticks.

What's the right brush? I should be able to finally check out the Beauty Powder for myself today.

Ok, I waited to do my review on the BP until I secured several backups for myself first

The Beauty Powder is so beautiful on that I BU many times. It makes my skin look insanely flawless. It gives my face a beautiful subtle glow, the peach tone corrected anything & everything as Liba described before. I swept it under my eyes & over my eyelids & it corrected the redness, blue & darkness. It is the correcting version of Elude. I seriously felt like it gave me movie star flawless skin

I never ever want to be without it & will most likely just replace foundation with this. It even looked flawless in the review mirror in daylight, which is always a good test ;)

A lot of the bloggers got it wrong wrong wrong on this one. Maybe its because they are not artists that they didn't understand the application/use of it. I probably would have purchased a bunch of them in the beginning had I not listened to the reviews other than Libas.

I'd like to wait for the BP I've ordered to come and see what it's like and then be able to BU if I want but I don't think that's gonna work in this case! I think I'll just have to take my chances and continue to love other highlighters. I was actually about to order Benefit's Watt's Up but took it out of my cart to make way for Marilyn

What's the opinion on the BP with NC complexions around here?

I'm wondering if it would work on me. (NC20 here.)
