Erine, where are all the regulars? I feel like I have not seen many of the people who are normally around. It's weird.

Probably sleeping, like smart people! :sigh:

Probably sleeping, like smart people!

Well, I meant for the past few days.... but I will agree to that. I was up til 2 am and then at 5:30 I got up to check and have not been back to bed yet. I am going to stay up til 7 and see if it launches and then I'm gonna have to go back to bed. I am tired as hell. Between the Holidays and stalking this collection for days I have not had a decent nights sleep all week. I have been on this thread checking and stalking and I feel like a bunch of regular people have not been around at all.

Nylon has jumped into my cart! I need to check out now or more stuff might accidentally jump in! Like harmony maybe? Would that be a good countour shade for me?

So what's the consensus on these split fiber brushes? I've seen reviews that say they aren't a must have. So what brushes are you guys using to apply the EDSFs?

 

[iheartangE]

@GoldenGirl I use the Split Fibre brushes for liquid foundation, mostly. Synthetic side to apply and the natural side to buff out any streaking. It's wonderful! For the EDSF I prefer a 188 brush or 116

I have to be up for work at 4 am…looks like I'll be ordering then, if it's up yet. I can't keep playing the stalking game, lol!

I've been leaning toward a mostly black wardrobe, but I keep spending all my excess cash on makeup smh. hboy: I'm a pretty casual dresser for the most part, so I think sometimes it looks odd when I'm wearing a "glam" look with a graphic tee and flip-flops. Even I recognize it! GL to all who are stalking. I'll be checking in periodically, but at this rate I think I'm going to brave Macy's (like this wasn't my original plan this whole time!). I just think seeing the products in person will help me be more selective and cutthroat. Hope everyone had a lovely day

I feel like Amorous Alloy and Our Secret are both deep rust/burgundy and I don't need both. Which would you get?

 

[Monsy]

I prefer Superb over S&G. I actually don't think I've even worn S&G, even tho i have it

I use it in my kit a lot tho!

i hit a pan on mine

I dunno where they disappeared to!

Do not contour with a blush, or a bronzer. I can't stress this enough! They aren't the right colour to contour with. You wanna use a product specifically made for contouring, like mac's sculpting powders.

I use the 188 or the 159.

me too...big time

Same here.....I loveeeeeeeee blushes

 

[MACina]

I always learn so much from your posts. Thanks for helping us all out!

...I sooooooo agree!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[KrystalAnne]

Suddenly I want Autoerotique again. But, I need to resist!

I'm expecting FP, Superb &It's Physical.

And on a side note: YAY! I got Tan, Rose, &Naked pigments for xmas! So excited to play with them!

 

[MACina]

Pretty much. I'll wear jeans, but almost always a black top. If I'm doing makeup I'm almost always head to toe black. 6+ years of a solid black wardrobe makes it hard to stray from black when you're shopping. I wear my colour in my makeup. Plus it makes shopping for clothes a lot easier! And i like black, so i don't mind.

Exactly....I am almost always wearing black too.I think that Jeans are my only "non black" clothes

Only at the gym I am wearing other colors

 

[erine1881]

Wow, Erin.....thank you soooooooooooooooooooooo much for this :urock: Super,super helpful :bigthumb:

Sure thing love! The longer i wait for this to launch, the more I'm wavering on it too. Only because i really don't need another blush. I mean i could use another blush, but the fact that i don't depot these, and that they're freefloating is what's really stopping me. I like my blushes in palettes. Plus it'll save me some money.

Thanks! I remember watching someone on youtube using it, lol, that's why I asked! Which shade should I get if I were to order the sculpting powder?

That's true. All of these blushes in the compacts take up a lot of space. In fact, I think I may order another palette to depot some of my blushes to create some more space. Plus, I feel like depotting something....

Honestly, like you said before, Autoerotique doesn't look like a must have but it sure is pretty. Anything pretty tempts me, even if I already have something similar. Personally, I could use some more shadows rather than blushes so I think that's my sign to pass on it and go for something else.

I wonder if I should get Steel Kiss...

Pretty? Yes. Necessary? No. Just FP for me! Money saved! Now, what to spend that saved money on...? :haha:

I can't stress enough how excited I am about this collection... I absolutely love extra dimension, especially the skinfinishes, soooo freakin pretty, favorite highlighter of mine EVER. (in love with Definitely Defined - and I ordered Superb and Fairly precious but to be honest I'd love to get Magnetic Appeal as well hehe)
