So....that's not true lol. I got the pearlmatte and you have to use the fresco rose paint pot to get the colors to show up. It's okay. |

I know that B2M varies from store to store, but sometimes they don't let you do it if it's not a lipglass or a regular shadow (once I tried to B2M for a pan shadow which is cheaper than the pot and I couldn't). Usually for my locations, you can B2M for LE collections only if nothing about the packaging or presentation of the product is different.

I love blush so much I can't believe I have yet to get a cream blush. New formula = heaven sent (at least so I've heard).

I purchased the Optimistic Orange since I did not receive it in gratis... However I did get in gratis Resort Life lip gelee and Florida I believe... Not too impressed with the glittery lip gelees either, but when women come up to the counter they are falling in love with them. I also got the pearlmatte shadow in gratis, and will probably give that away because I do not like the pasty looking colors...
But the All Ages collection took my money... All's Good is one of the best blushes we have came out with yet. I got everything from the WOC side of the collection and got all the lip products period... I also made samples of the pigment at the counter, and I like them...

I pretty much plan to get all the shadows from All Ages except for Showstopper because I have it already and love. Its a great color for the crease or outer V. I reach for it often
Passing on the pigments because they didnt jump out at me.
Question about Banshee eye shadow. Are there any dupes that you know of? I don't really like lustres and will pass if there is a dupe. I heard that Style Snob might be similar. Anyone know?

And So Sweet, So Easy did nothing for me. I probably will go back and get the Pearlmatte Face Powder. I decided not to get anything from the All Ages/Races/Sexes collection yesterday, I want to think about exactly what I need. Right now, the only things that caught my eye were Empowered l/s, Liquer l/g and Spirit & Soul l/g |

glad you found it helpful. i seriously underestimated the Love Lace collection. Hypnotizing is also a very beautiful color from this collection.
i ended up getting several things from the All Ages/Races/Sexes. again i underestimated this collection. i really wasn't feeling the eyeshadows from the collection until my favorite MUA at the Nordies counter did a look for me with them. don't sleep on these colors...they are FABULOUS!
i wound up getting all the shadows except Showstopper cuz i've got a lot of browns like it already. i also picked up Myself l/s, Equality l/s, Empowered l/s, Liquer l/g, Glamour For All l/g and All's Good bpb.

Banshee is more mauve/pinkish and has silver glitter (it's not a glitter bomb though, the glitter is really small). Style Snob is more brown and there is no glitter in it.

I got optimistic orange which I'm totally in love with, I plan to go back for Florida and Joie-De-Vie. I'm also going to pick up comfort because of all the good reviews on here. It'll be my first MSF so i'm excited!! I previously got All's Good beauty powder but ended up finding that it didn't do anything for my skintone NC40..so I returned it..

What are you guys using to apply the creme blushes? If you are using a brush, which one? Thanks.

I apply the product with my fingers first and then blend it out with a brush (I use either the 109 or the 168). I prefer to do it that way because when I apply with my fingers alone, the product doesn't really show up on my cheeks....and if I dip the brush directly into the blush, those little black specks show up which I can't stand lol
I ended up buying Joie-de-Vivre and Optimisticly Orange blushes. I want Florida too, but I have Azalea. Does anyone know if these two are very similar?? I need one of ya'll to talk me outta going back to MAC tomorrow lol!!
I also got Banshee e/s. It's really pretty on top of Red Velvet s/s and Heritage Rouge p/g in the crease.

So far I've been circling Optimistic Orange like a bird of prey, should I get it if i have Devil already? I mean it's a cream that gives a natural flush...? And Florida too!? I have Azalea already.

i've been debating the same thing.
i originally passed on Optimistic Orange because i have NARS Taj Mahal & MAC Devil; now i'm rethinking it. an MUA used it on me and it is a more natural flush, more like MAC Cantaloupe.
i have both Azalea & Florida. Florida is definitely more natural

What do u NW45 ladies think about 5N lipstick...I like it alot, I think it might be the plummy/pinky version to Touch lipstick which I like alot
It looks just like my bottom lip colour but better
Just wanted to know if i shud grab a bunch since I wasnt really into MAC when the N collection was launched and 5N made its first debut lol...Cuz I think it might become my everyday lippie since its so natural and Im tryin to phase more than just Chapstick into my daily routine as thats the only thing I wear to school lol The weekends are my makeup days
