I think MM ranks up there as one of my favorite collections this year.

I liked Iris Apfel too - for the gorgeous shades and lovely matte textures (right down my alley!)

Anyone still looking for FM? I'm at ATL airport and the counter her has six available, which they're currently holding for me. Let me know ASAP, preferably within the next hour.

I am loving The Perfect Cheek! At first I thought it was going to be too light for my skintone but it turns out that it's not! I really like it and I have layered it with Small Vanity blush. Both of them are so perfect together!

Hmmm, thanks Glam. I haven't opened my TPC yet b/c I thought it was too light. I may have to try that. Does it matter which blush you apply first? Do you wear one more as a highlight or do you just literally apply them on top of each other? I'm makeup illiterate.

I am wearing TPC right now and loving it. Really I would never have gone for it if not for MM coll frenzy.

I am having skippers remorse on the cream colored shadow but my own fault. I did buy it and then returned cus it was so hard and fall out-ish but I am doing the nude eye a lot right now and it would have been good. My favorite nude look right now is Smashbox Credit with Vibe in crease and both of those are DC and I am at pan with Credit. I am trying to find a good substitute for it when it comes out and who would have thunk it would be so hard?

I think this coll was the winningest for me this year. All the red lippies are wonderful. Even Zen and SI look good although normally I would not wear them. The BP is amazing as all the pale gals have attested to. This and the holiday Chanel were the two colls I purchased the most products out of and I don't regret a single penny which tends to happen sometimes when the next best thing comes out.

You wouldn't think so if you saw me, but I'm very limited as far as what I can do. I've perfected 2-3 easy looks for myself, but they are just daytime/professional looks. I don't tend to experiment. I've been complimented on those looks before though. I wore the same blush for 10 years straight (NARS Outlaw but didn't wear it regularly until 1.5 years ago) and wore only lip balm on my lips until this summer; occasionally lip gloss. Strangely, a couple of women in the office have asked me to put makeup on them for award banquets. (I'm known as fashionable in the office, but not sure what that's got to do with makeup.) The last woman I did got complimented on her makeup at the event. She showed up in my office with two foundations - 1 the lightest, 1 the darkest shade - and I had to custom mix her color and apply with my fingers. She also had a huge Walgreens-type eye makeup set brand new in package. It was a mess, but I worked it out even using an eye shadow as blush. Up until the last few months, I didn't wear much makeup to work and tend to keep it very neutral and natural when I do. If I wore makeup it was 2-3x max/week.

I think b/c I dress well people always assumed I was much more into makeup than I was. The woman down the hall from me wears Mary Kay products and draws on her eyebrows. I would have assumed she'd be who you think of when you think makeup since you certainly see it on her face.

My goal has always been to look naturally pretty not made up, but over the summer I decided to wear a little more. Get daring. Wear lipstick. Buy turquoise eye shadow (that I've failed to pull off yet.) That's why I'm always asking questions.

I apply TPC first then SV after that and used Superb EDSF as highlight. I just lightly dust both of them on if I want to add a bit more. Do try it out!

Funny you say this. I am know as "the fashionable one" in the office too and I too recently got into make up!! All I was used to was BE, gloss and mascara until a few months ago. I love how you can use makeup to make yourself look better and still look natural and fresh not like the lady down your hall.

Now I feel so good when I open my makeup drawer to make myself pretty every morning. Thank you Specktra! LOL
