So use as little alcohol as possible or better yet before using any first try just moving your paring knife back and forth under the pan to loosen it without using any alcohol at all. HTH!

I love and use this method!

Sometimes alcohol isn't necessary for me to depot my babies!

Also you can use a nail file-they're really thin sometimes and won't necessarily give you the potentially worst puncture wound you've ever had.

like someone else answered earlier, no and no!

i kinda agree with kiss. the colour is gorgeous, but it does take a bit more work than others do to show up.

i love it on darker skin. not so much on caspers like myself.

PS. since the pro/employee discount doesn't apply to this collection :shedevil: (because its a copyright collection), then b2m won't apply either. just an fyi.

Ah, so I better get everything and anything I could ever want from this collection now. Gone But Not Forgotten could not get anything from HK and told me it was a licensing thing. I didn't understand. SOB

MAC's going to hell in a hand basket! Is there a new director of a marketing department at Estee!?
New statics person!?

I don't like how they're screwing with good things (palettes, pigments,etc).

NC45. Ember Glow is gorgeous. It can be sheered out or layered to get the color in the tube and it doesn't look jarring at all. It's lovely.

Good thing for me, I pay no mind to seasons when it comes to makeup and clothing colors. I'm a rebel.

 

[Goat Goat Etc.]

^Agreed. Season means nothing. I'm rocking Faultlessly F/w l/s Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.

Edit: I'll glow while having a dark-heavy cupid's bow!

Now you're my kinda chick!

Since A Different Groove is the bastard child of this collection, I will stan even harder for it and take it in and nurse it along with my beloved Violet Trance.

Behold the sexy of ADG. I had been wearing it all day and I never touched it up, but the sexy remains.

 

[panther27]

Yeah about the licensing thing,the reason being is that with this collection,HK,etc.,it is some kind of contract with the brand that collection can be only out for a certain time,then it has to be pulled off the shelf.Same thing with the posters and displayers at stores and counters,those have to be taken down at a certain date due to the licensing.

Yeah I can imagine they (who has the license) wants to make the most money they can right then and there. Rather than get theirs gradually as the collection becomes older.

Those kind of collections turn on the "impulse" switch for a buyer. Once it's gone, it's gone so I better get it now kinda thing.

Wow, that's silly of me. I just realized I have Florabundance l/g and by all means I really shouldn't be afraid.

The things we forgot we bought, tsk, tsk, tsk. lol

Edit: *B2M's for Ember Glow*

A Different Groove l/g look stunning on you Shontay! I'm debating if I want to skip Bough Grey e/s as well as both of the Beauty Powders in this collection.

 

[abbyquack]

Shontay you are so pretty!

And A Different Groove looks soooo tempting! I have been eyeing it a little, I think it would add some fun dimension to any of the new l/s.

 

[shonntew]

any personal pics of the makeup bags?

I think the trick with UDDP is to apply a tiny tiny bit. Sometimes I accidently over apply it and it is very hard to blend. I was so happy that Sephora came out so I finally got my hands on this product. It makes shadows last all day.

Can I ask where you buy the new pans??? I have a few pigments that I'd like to press. TIA!

If it will look like that on me as it does on Shontay I'm sold!!!

[macaddict83]

Was going to buy everything online, but decided to wait until Thurs. to make sure that the stuff in my cart will actually look good on me. I did order a medium make-up bag though. Although I have not received a confirmation email. IDK what is going on. Wanted to make sure I got a bag in case the store I go to on Thurs. is sold out by the time I get there.

BTW- I have ordered pans off evilbay before.
