no prob

i checked the status of my order last night and it said "shipped" but it's not here yet

why did my manager have to give me a 12-9 shift? :'( hopefully she sends me home early *crosses fingers*

I am really really debating if I should get petticoat before I test it in person. i got Light Flush before and I don't love it since it really doesn't show up on me but peachy color sheen. I only use it as highlighter and it is not the best highlighter(I have my HG Shimmpagne). Petticoat looks pretty but I wonder if it is dark enough for me to use it as blush (I'm NC35-40). What do you think?

 

[blindpassion]

prices are getting expensive in Canada

I bought Petticoat and two dazzleglasses and it was 84 DOLLARS!?!?! ouch

my wallet hurts~!!!


edit: it was actually 80.64... but still!!!!

 

[civicbabe627]

$84?!?! It would be $60 in the U.S.

I'm glad I don't live in Canada. Geeeez.

Thanks for the info about Hef and the girls, too! It's sad... it won't be the same without them, but I guess at some point you just have to move on. The girls got plenty of fame, and they will always be known as The Girl's Next Door to me. There is no replacement for them. Ah well!

hmm

I got mine in the mail today- i got the 181-- which.. is REALLY SMALL.. i mean.. REALLY SMALL.. like the size of my thumb in length... i was really suprised. for $30.00 i didnt excpect it to be so little.....

I do like it though-- it applied my devil blush today REALLY REALLY well.

Sheerbronze- Its... not sheer. JUST BRONZE. EXTREAMLY bronze. I didnt think it was going to be so dark-- and its nooooot a lot of product AT ALL... over all I was a little dissapointed with the sizes for $50.00 all together...

I do like it as a product though- im going to have to wait until im a little tanner to use it on a regular basis.. but it will be a GORGEOUS highlighter for those of us who are darker! Im considering getting Silver Aura because I think that will be GORGEOUS for the color I am right now...

I got Petticoat, soft and gentle and so ceylon and I love them! They are a lot of fun!

Thats how I felt. I knew itd be small but damn. Well I havent used it yet but I am getting ready to...we will see. Im sure itll be lovely.

Off to use my 181 to try petticoat as a blush

 

[Winthrop44]

^^ It looks bigger once you wash it.

 

[Shadowy Lady]

did anybody else get Lucent? thoughts?

It was the only other product that caught my eyes beasides Petticoat and they're the only two I got.

 

[trojanchick99]

So, I have a $25 gift card to Macy's and 15% coupon from Saks. I am ready to haul this weekend.

I'm getting So Ceylon, Petticoat and either Heat/Element or Engaging. I will try to resist getting any more.

That's mostly why I haven't bought it yet, because it seems so small.

I think it is more that I want to have every MSF and not because I would ever use it.

Dude, get So Ceylon! On the hand, it was meh, but I bought it anyway. Then I brought it home and put some on my lighter than NW15 cheeks and really liked it! The rosiness of it works well with my pink undertones, unlike the wretched Warmed people compare it to. It will be something I abuse in the summer as a blush, for sure, as it gives a lovely warmth to my face.

I love Lucent as a highlighter over my blush! I got Beauty Powder Loose in Natural Flare last December and Lucent is a great alternative for me

 

[MacMe4ever]

I have seen the many many swatches for Petticoat.. and I'm convinced I want one

... BUT I want to know how it looks on nw45/nw50 skin complexions before I purchase it. And also.. I think I want So Ceylon or Lucent... any suggestions?

 

[Leilani78]

Holy Crap! So Ceylon is BEAUTIFUL on my NC42/NW40 skin. It really gives me this natural glow. I like it better than Sunbasque, which can make me look sunburned at times. haha.
I also checked out Petticoat. It's so beautiful in the pan, but on my skin it just looks like a darker version of Light Flush (metallic and pink). As much as I wanted it, I passed.
Soft & Gentle looks like a great highlighter, but I passed since it's permanent. It on my hand it looked like a very pretty champagne color.

i got mine today too and in Canada we pay $36 for it :'(

i dropped by a MAC counter on my break and swatched soft and gentle and so ceylon. i think soft and gentle is prettier than shimpagne and i loved how so ceylon looked so after work i dropped by a f/s store and picked it up along with rougemarie nail lacquer ;P so much for trying to save money ..

 

[MrsRjizzle]

They added a bunch more mes to the mineralize tab online. a bunch of ones from electroflash!! yippeee... they are showing as limited

Haha, like the So Ceylon I so wasn't supposed to buy! But that'll be it, since Soft and Gentle will be perm. I like it much more than Shimpagne but I am afraid it'll turn my large pores into craters too.

I tried out a simple look today with SC on the lids and cheeks and really liked how it gave a rosy fall look, if that makes any sense. =P I'm frowning at my Shooting Star now and wondering why it's in my collection.

yeah, i think that's it for me for this collection too. i'm not going to get soft and gentle because i know i won't use it a lot.

i can't wait to try out my new MSFs ;P

I checked out So Ceylon today. It's different than the one I got from High Tea. This one sparkles alot. It's not frosty but has a soft sparkle and my other one is more of a satin finish.
