Magenta,

Thanks for posting!!! I love that look. Your skin looks good - you are young though!

Take care of it now and you will reap rewards later!

I got a sample of it. But I honestly didn't think it was worth the money. It all depends on your skin and if you are prone to breakouts. I felt it was something I can replace with another scrub. Not gonna lie it felt nice but it didn't convince me.
I never got around to trying the VAE .. I fear it to be a bit too harsh for my dry, sensitive skin

Might still ask a sample of it next time i visit the store, i still remain curious about this product :)

Helloooo Ladies!! I haven't really been on here since my sister and and a ton of kids came to visit and vacation with us.... anyways I wanted to share with you guys that I finally caved in and got Magnetic Attraction and I am glad I did, I got to pick my own swirl and I picked one with less of the gold and I am in love!! I also got a backup for my Stratus since my sister decided to take my original backup oh and I wanted to share my new pride and joy I know its not MAC but I love it so much I had to take a pic of it accompanied by my beautiful swirls!!

Makeup is good but skincare is better! As I have gotten older my skin has changed and it can't handle just any old routine, i.e. wash with dove soap and slap any old moisturizer on it and go. I have a routine in place and it makes a difference. My skin looks good under my m/u and I find that I need less of it. All I want now is a Clarisonic and I'm saving for one of those. It may go on my Christmas list but I want the new Coach Legacy Duffle or Madison. Everything I want is expensive! :)
It is always good to take care of our skin. The biggest problem I have is that I have sensitive skin and not everything works for me. It's almost as if the less I do the better because when I do too much I break out. I can never imagine using a clarisonic on my skin lol. But there is something out there for everyone. Wait to get the Mia when sephora has their friends and family sale in November. Mascara- I've been using the tarte Amazonian clay, the wood tube And my all time favorite for 6 years... Avon super extend mascara. Avon actually makes really good mascaras by the way. Gave a tube to my mom and she said that the ladies at work thought she had lash extensions. Really recommend it.

It's a good ides to get a sample. I too have sensitive skin and it didn't completely work for me. It's not a bad product though you should try it see how you like it. I'm curious why ppl haven't given it any love too.

Re-stocking is good! That means folks can buy more!

The only thing that is still sold out is Supernova blush.

I see none of the lipsticks have sold out.

I didn't purchase any because I don't like the finishes.

My favs. are Satins, Mattes, Mattenes, Amplified, and Pro Longwear.

Not a fan of Frosts, Lustres, Cremesheens, and glossy l/s in general.

No one is giving the Volcanic Ash any love.

I used it for the 3rd time last night and I swear it is the best scrub I have ever used!

I can't get enough of it!
You know I got this and it just didn't work for me, I think that because I am in FL right now my pores are clogging much more easily and I was breaking out so I got the VAE soon as it came out but it just didn't clean my face good enough so I decided to try Origins modern friction because some one on this thread recommended it and wow! It is amazing, my face feels so clean and no more breakouts! I am saving the VAE for when I am back up north in the cold I think it would work just fine as a daily cleanser I just don't think its strong enough to be a deep exfoliator.

While moseying @ Nordies I noticed they had LY msf in stock.

So I purchased it.

I was going to use my Nordstrom's note but I decided to hang on to it for a while.

I wonder if it is really in stock or will I get an order cancellation???

Hmmmmm. We'll see!
I ordered my back up of light year from the nordstrom site, so your order is probably safe


It is crazy how differently products swatch based on the swirls you get.



The colors they swatch.
They're a bit darker in real life and more intense (flash washed out the color)

but as you can see, the left is such a beautiful cherry/berry color (with predominantly purple sparkle which you can't really see). The right one is this coppery/rusty orange with gold as the predominant sparkle!! crazy!

I LOVE that color for eyeshadow. It's soo pretty.
That's funny they do have similar shaped swirls. Didn't even notice lol.

I know what you mean!! Now I'm sitting here thinking I should order one of the site and see if I get one with even more of that beautiful berry and much less gold!
That's how they get us right lol. Make a product that can be so different depending on what you get. No wonder some ppl bought up to 4 backups of some of these products. :bump:

Here are my pics using Earthshine as an eyeshadow.

I wore the gold in the lid the burgundy in the crease and mystery in the outer v.
I wore light year as a blush. I really like the look. It can be used for everyday.





These were taken with my ipad so the colors are kind of washed out ;(, but hopefully you get a general idea.
By the way magenta924 this look its awesome! I love it, I haven't tried my Earthshine as a shadow yet but after seeing your look I am definitely going to try it out and by the way what lipstick did u wear with this look? I think Venus would be perfect!

I got 3 BUs of Star Wonder and Light Year, but I'm almost contemplating a fourth BU for LY! I'm obsessed with it, even more than Lightscapade (though using the two together for one look is awesome, too!). Light Year goes with eeeverythinggggg!

Your FOTD is gorgeous Magenta! Flawless! Please please pleeease keep them coming!

Thank you, you should try it. It's nice to be able to use these products differently. Well to be honest, I didn't buy any lipstick for the collection because I really don't like the finishes I didn't even bother trying them on. But, I have heard a lot of nice things about Venus and the swatches looked nice. I used Honeylove or Innocence beware. Can't remember and in the pics it was worn off. What finish is Venus a lustre?

Thank you, I appreciate that. I sure will keep them coming lol. I remember your post with your BUs:eyelove:. SW & LY are really nice products. Question, do you just use LY as a blush/highlighter or do you use it all over the face?

I'm SOOOOOOOO obsessed with Light Year too. I only bought one back up (but I NEVER backup anything) and am contemplating getting a second back up. It's just perfection in a pan. I think I'm heading to the mall on Friday, so if I find a MAC with some in stock, and can hand pick one more, I might just cave if there is a beautiful swirl.

And to comment on the difference swirls make, I almost didn't get CoU because in the store I went to had it had this gigantic orange swirl, and that one just showed up so, so orange on me, so I passed. But I wanted the whole MSF collection, and it kept bugging me so I ended up ordering it, and the one I ordered has a bunch of gold between the swirls, and not much of the darker orange swirl, and it is beautiful!! Shows up like a lighter version of NARS Luster on my cheek.
