Anyone have any thoughts on the 128 brush? I was eyeing it but felt unsure...

I know some don't like it, but I really do. I love it for the EDSF and i hear it's great for liquid foundation too.

and for cream blushes

i have that 128 and i honestly dont like it.. i have used it maybe twice with cream bronzers but it tends to just make a streak on my face thats hard to blend..

Went back bought Pleasure Model.

 

[elegant-one]

Picked up autoerotique edb. Also morning rose which I wasn't going to get but tried on. It is this gorgeous healthy pink lipstick.

Sounds perfect! So what did you think of the AE blush?

 

[Dolly Snow]

So there has been a debacle in my head between magnetic appeal vs double definition and with pleasure model and BGGG. So before work (and because I'm a royal pain in the ass when I get obsessed with stuf like this) I stopped by macys with my dupes to check this out. Swatches are: Upper is BGGG Upper left is Lovejoy, next is PM Bottoom left is MA, bottom right is DD (both sides swirled together). In the middle and next to the PM swatch is both sides of double definition (light and dark)

Yes there's a ton of pics but I took different lightings into consideration. My veredict: Pm: it's def NOT te same as BGGG, while Riris blush is orangier and powderier (still love it) PM is it's fraternal twin upgraded version: better texture, stronger pigmentation, a bit "burnt"more than BGGG, metallic.. While Lovejoy (far left) was on the shimmery and darker /deeper side. If this was Star Wars, BGGG would be LEIa, PM would be Luke and Lovejoy would be vader... Nah... maybe not vader maybe obi wan.. Def a stronger color, same family but different. Ok I'm goin on a tangent. MA: very similar, not the same, MA is rosier and closer to the dark side of DD, similar enough that I didn't get it just cause the differences can only be seen at angles and on different lighting.

I agree with your thoughts on PM. Def better!

Made it home with my goodies.

Now I'm waiting for UPS to deliver my second batch.

Perfect. It's a gorgeous flush of color. On me it is a coral color. I am in love .

 

[bobbiedoll03]

Pm and MA for me

Perfect. It's a gorgeous flush of color. On me it is a coral color. I am in love .

Swatch pleaaaase !! I can't decide whether I should cross it off my list lol

 

[Monsy]

FP-on me, UGLY!!! It turned an ugly orange gold mess! Not a pretty peach at all! Pass!!! So glad i was able to swatch this before it launched online!

oh no

 

[Icecaramellatte]

here are the swatches of Sensual Sparks that I quickly took. This sort of reminds me of Siss but Siss is more chalky looking on me and from what I remember Siss has more yellow in it. With Sensual Sparks I need to wear a liner though because i feel like the definition of my lips get lost with this color. Which is good because thats the nude I always wanted lol. This is the type of nude rihanna should have came out with for her last collection.
And also Sensual Sparks + Hug me = a nice glossy pinky nude






*don't mind Hautecore. I was going to throw in that swatch in the same blog post lmao

I'm waiting for the ita brush to come back too! Do u have any idea when it might be back? It's sold out everywhere!

I have racked my brain. What is ITA brush?

Orange gold sounds really good to me. I understand it's not what you wanted though. I really liked FP. I didn't want to sing its praises yet since I tried it on a bare face. I want to wait until I tried with a full face on. I did pair FP with Autoerotique and Magnetic Appeal with Pleasure Model and really liked the look.

What do you think of Stone liner with Steel Kiss lipglass?

My haul smallest ever consists of MA , PM , AA, HB. Everything appears to be really subtle on me . AA ES surprisingly is my favorite item overall. Stopped by the Nars counter and got the Pro Prime Smudge Proof ES Base . I wasn't overwhelmed as I thought I would be initially. The Nars primer substituted for a blush or back up item I didn't get .

 

[bobbiedoll03]

Are there any less expensive brushes out there that work great with EDSB and EDSF?

Sorry, everything didn't work out. I know you were really excited about this collection. But you still have a nice size haul there and some great items. I have a feeling there is lots coming. We haven't heard too much about upcoming collections yet and I know the big spring collection for the past couple of years has come in early Feb. once even on my birthday!

I decided to knock Morning Rose off the list and only got Autoerotique, Hell Bound, and Carnal Instinct. Gonna wear the blush with one of the PC lippies tonight.

I haven't tried them with the EDSB or EDSF but have you tried any Real Technique brushes?

 

[BrinaBoo10]

How did I end up with 7 items total - my original list was three things!? MA EDSF, two blushes (A and PM), two eyeshadows (AA and SD), one lipstick (SS) and one lipglass (SK). Now I am officially off to the low buy thread for 2014 support.

 

[Serenityy]

Went in store and only got two items for me. Just Fairly Precious and Morning Rose. Loving Morning Rose the most. I originally wanted to buy Magnetic Appeal but did not like it at all on me. I did good today, Team Low Buy will be proud of me lol. I even resisted backing up Instigator from the Punk Couture collection. Today was liberating lol!
