I love Blackfire. I like that the glitter is understated. If you are looking for a glittery gloss this is not for you, but it is pretty layered over most bold lipsticks.

I have the same problem with most blue e/s. It never really looks quite right on me, but I keep trying anyway!
Still loving Style Black, it was a dream collection for me!
Cinderfella remains my favorite MES of the bunch, it's just all kinds of awesome!! I'm not usually an MES fan at all, but the 3 I picked up from Style Black have a special place in my heart! I did end up gifting my backups to a friend though. As much as I love them, I won't wear them enough to need backups. The GPS needs to become perm and I'm loving Night Violet sheered out (
) with Blackfire over it!
Add to all of that my obsession with the VAE and VATM...I love Style Black!

Is it strange that the VAM caused me to break out but not the VAE? In 2 days I've had 4 HUGE pimples....
Luckily I only have 3 backups of VAM....I guess I can buy more VAE

Not strange at all! I had the same problem with VATM breaking me out for the first two times I used it but the break out stopped happening when I used it for the 3rd time. I think your skin might just need time getting used to it.

i was complaining the other day that it left my skin SUPER oily. and it's impossible to rinse off clean. my face looked clean, but 3 cotton balls later, it's still gray. way too much oil in the mask if you read the ingredient list. people would probably get the same result with pure cold pressed vege oil

I finally pulled out the mask and used it for the first time today.
Can someone remind me what its supposed do? I'm not trying to be funny I just didnt get it. So it heats up a little....and then what?
I didnt feel any extra moisture or softness after rinsing it off. I read the back of the tube and it didnt really say what its supposed to do. Is it just a purifying mask thats supposed to get rid of impurities?
I'm gonna use this one more time and if I don't turn flips then its going bye bye. I have too many skin care products and if I can't justify why I need it..out she goes. Just my experience.
I'm glad its working for a bunch of you though

^^As per Erine here's what the mask will do...
[FONT="]"The mask will warm up the skin, which will help open up your pores and remove the blackheads. Help controls oil.'

I still haven't hauled on Style Black! Can you believe it? I'm sad that VATM is sold out online again and I was going to get it. I'm hoping to get it at the MAC store this weekend. Also, for the MES, I might end up with two that I originally want: Young Punk and Cinderfella. Other than that, I'll end up getting Blue Flame and Gilt By Association MES too.

Since early on I learned that hot water (before and/or while you wash your face) opens up your pores, while cold water (when you rinse your face wash off) closes your pores. I have always followed that rule. Though VAE & VATM say to rinse with warm water. I believe it's to help remove the product off your face since it is black in colour. What I do though is rinse again, once everything is off, with cool water.
Anyone do or thought the same?

my derm told me that's not true. pores don't open or close. they are not doors. but warmer water does increase circulation. the extra blood flow can flush out the toxins accumulated in your body and bring oxygen to the surface of the skin. it has nothing to do with pores. and it will need more than a few minutes (like the mask) for the process to make a difference, so a sauna or warm bath or even physical exercise would do the same thing for your. also, don't use HOT water as it can aggravate rosacea and encourage oil production (i have VERY oily skin, so that's bad for me).
