Haha, if I could 'de-sparkle' items...I would buy a bunch of MoonRiver and 'de-sparkle' them to make them look like PT

If there was such a thing, I bet there's a lot of things we all want to de-sparkle a bit.

Really? That is great to know- I have always wondered about the 188 but someone usually contacts me and tells me that theirs gets all splayed out and I would be better off staying with the 187.

since I never get to see MAC in person, I never get to see for myself.

Exactly Tish! Lipstick can withstand alot! Just like when my lipstick breaks. I melt them in the microwave and put them in the little sample jars. When they harden they are good as new... There is a tut or thread on here regarding how to do that too...

I have both MSFs- I do not use foundation, I use MSFs instead (only the colored ones not the natural ones).

I bought each because they are wonderful highlighters- perfect finish for makeup.

Because I change my palette all of the time from warm to cool, I can use both of them. My Perfect Topping does not have a whole lot of lavender pink so it is a combo peach pink and is gorgeous. Refined is a lovely golden splash of peach which I love for warm finishes.

I am NW25 but I change my hair, eyecolor, skin, and outfits to crossover to any palette from autumn to spring to summer to winter.

Got my Red Velvet & Saint Germain. Both are so pretty.

I used Red Velvet up to crease then in crease and on out to corner I used Gilded Ash, lined with a smokey gray liner. Very pretty and wearable for me that way.

Saint Germain is such a pretty pink - however, I must say that I only use one very light application & smoosh my lips together

Boy is it ever smoooooth & creamy!

Snowscene & Fashion Scoop look pretty over SG

Purrtykitty - now I know why you loved this color so much

Thanks Tish! I will try that one day with one of my MAC lipsticks.

Is Bubbles like Sunsonic from NSF?

 

[TISH1124]

^^^ Nope I think Supersonic was like a light Gold color...this is more white/pearl

hmm weird. B/c thats what Sunsonic looks on me, a white/gold pearl color.

 

[TISH1124]

I don't see any Gold in Bubbles is what I am saying...not on me

 

[abbyquack]

I swatched Sunsonic next to Bubbles in the swatch forum..it's not that good of a pic, I know. But basically no they are not alike. Sunsonic is way gold compared to Bubbles.

 

[TISH1124]

^^^ Thanks....I was trying to explain that in my none explanatory manner LOL

OMG that just breaks my heart!

I'm sorry for your lost.

AH! I got my goodies in the mail yesterday and was very excited. Here are my thoughts, and for the record I am Light/N3/NW15 in various MAC powders. The point is, I am a pasty Canadian.

Bubbles: Opaque white with purple/blue/pink irredescence, at least that's how it shows up on me. A little blotchy as previously mentioned, so I think I may try a base next time. I love pale, sometimes deathly lips so I'm a fan of Bubbles. I wore it today under Pleasure Principle d/g and it looked gorgeous!

Lollipop Loving: Very gorgeous, the perfect pinky/peach shade. The green duochrome wasn't as obvious as I was hoping it to be, however I am still glad I ordered two of them. I think this will become a spring/summer staple. I can't wait to try it with my Springbean l/g.

Perfect Topping: The one I received did not have a whole ton of the lavender, but it is still beautiful. I can wear it as a very sheer blush and it shows up as sort of a mauvy-peach on my face. It also looks great over Tippy blush. I don't find this too similar to Petticoat.

Refined: I think I may actually like Refined more than PF. It gives me a super pretty peachy-coral-gold glow, sort of ethereal looking. I think this is going to be gorgeous for the summer. I am looking forward to trying it over my Devil blush, I think that combo would be hot and maybe tone the orange down a bit.

dang it! red velvet creased on me! its weird, usually paintpots don't. i put bare study, then red velvet, then some dear cupcake and grand entrance.

next time i wear red velvet, ill try it on its own. but *sigh* I'm staying away from shadesticks for the time being.

Dear Cupcake over a pink base makes an effing amazing eye!!

^^^You are so dang adorable, H.

I just wiped off my Bubbles to try this combo. My verdict is that is does help bring out the green duochrome a -bit- more, but not a ton. It looks more gold than green overall, I think. Although I do have really crappy lighting and it is not so nice outside, but I think in the sun, or heck even a well lit area, you might notice the green more.
