Is it just me or does Pink Cult appear darker on the face than in the pan? Perhaps I was expecting something more sheer since I tend to wear mineralize blushes and beauty powders (I'm an N15).

I haven't tried it yet, I am about the same skintone (neutral) so I would have to test it out and see for myself, but I feel that the darkness may be in part to its matte finish. Mattes don't reflect as much light as a Satin or a Sheertone blush.

I always found that it looked ruddy on me, even when it was originally launched. Pink Tea from TC looks more like I expected Pink Cult to look.

AY! I wanted a backup how much for though?
If anyone is looking for WMS I have a brand new one. I was going to give it to my friend for her bday and she's now saying she won't be able to rock the color. I'd rather sell to someone who was looking for it vs returning it and it getting destroyed

I'm going to try Star Quality over FOL and VGN. SQ is so beautiful. It's the Narcissus of Reel Sexy.

I didn't expect to love Pink Popcorn so much, but I do! It definitely pulls more pink on me, but it's like a meant for my lips pink. And it leaves a nice flush of color after it's been on for a while. It deserves a BU.
I completely agree. It's gorgeous. I see the purple on me, just the right blend. I rarely back up, but I think I will with this one. It's wearable day and night

Picked up Hyacinth eye kohl today, last one at my counter. I had put the navy liner from Hey, Sailor! on my wish list but decided on Hyacinth instead.

I did....LOVED it! It didn't look like Violetta which is good. Somehow the combo still looks very purple, still pretty bold. It actually reminds me of OCC's lip tar in Hoochie.

Yay, this confirms my urges to hunt down Heroine. I sound like a heroin junkie, huh?

I thought i was going to skip this collection, but i went into mac today and i saw Magenta blush OMG what a beauty. I swatched it and it was so awesome. I just had to have it.

The mua told me they had 1 watch me simmer and 1 heroine left and i was about to get them but i knew i wouldnt really wear them so id rather they end up getting bought by someone who would love them more than me lol

If you ever wished you could put Industrial in your waterline, now you can have a similar effect at last, I'm getting Hyacinth and Resort too - when you wear them all mixed together, you get a really beautiful color with tons of depth. Very happy to see some nice colored eye kohls again.


Late to the party but I'm so glad you posted this as I thought about skipping Heirloom at first. I love the combo of Heirloom on the waterline with Industrial on the lower lashline and smduged a bit. I wore that along with a simple black winged eyeliner with neutral shadow on top and Immortal Flower blush last Saturday, it looked so fresh and springy. I also found Heirloom & Industrial really made my light brown/hazel-ish eyes look amazing, even when I was wearing glasses. Love it so much that I got 3 of the eye khol pencils.
