I will for sure have the tutorial in my blog, then I will post it on the FOTD!! What do you all think?? Haha

It's a custom purchase. Girls on here offer to buy someone else something that they can't get locally, a price is set, paid and then the item is bought and shipped.
This was my third CP, they're fun! I can only get things at retail here, but seeing as how I live in a place that is in the middle of nowhere, things don't sell out as fast. So if someone can't get something locally and are willing to pay the retail price, the tax and the shipping, I'll buy it and send it off to them. I don't make anything off of it, in fact I generally lose a couple on shipping, but that's not the point, I just like making somebody a little bit happier because they got that one item they thought they would never get, ya know?
A lot of girls can get stuff cheaper from CCOs and thus do a lot of CPs, so obviously that is the preferred route. But if there are no other cheaper options, then I'm willing to do it.
PS the cakeshop look is awesome! I dont have cakeshop but i have greenstroke and aquavert and can't make them work to save my life, arghs. LOL at the lip look!
PPS Magnetique l/g from the RR line is a perfect match for Sweet Thing l/s, I discovered today.

What did you use on your eyes? I like it.
Some girls said the Cakeshop does not have the best consistency. How is yours?

Hi For my eyes, I used...
Eyes:
MAC Shadestick in Cakeshop as a base
Coastal Scents Shimmer Green in inner corner- Dupe for Aquavert
MUFE Diamond Shimmer shadow in 310 on outer 2/3 of eye
NARS Nightporter in outer V
MAC pigment in Platinum on the middle of my lid for a POP!
MAC pigment in Deep Blue Green
MAC Black tied in very outer V to deepen further
MAC Brule as a Highlight and to blend
MAC Solar White under brow highlight
MAC Liquid Last in Black
YSL Faux Cils Black Mascara
I have full step by step on my blog if you are interested in that.
The texture of my cakeshop is okay, you know I am not totally in love with head over heels with the shadesticks. I feel they aren't as creamy and buttery as they should be (and I double click them closed everytime
)

I bought Butternutty and Cakeshop, and while the staying power & the colours are amazing, I hate the fact that they tug my eyelids. IMO paint points are much creamier and thus easier to work with.
For me, the 2 standout products from this collection are Perfect Topping and Lollipop Loving
Apart from using PT as a blush or a highlighter, it's also a great eyeshadow - the coral/peachy part + Perky pp is a match made in heaven & the white/chapagne and rose/lavender veins can easily be used as dupes for some other highlight and light pinkish/violet shades - especially if someone is trying to save on SS and Rose Romance shadows.

Sigh I'm still not loving Lollipop Loving so much.
I hope I'm not the only one.

^^ I really disliked LL until I tried it with a pink liner underneath, now it's a really pretty color

I agree as well, i find it a tad boring, nothing stand out. I think if the duochrome was stronger it would be better

I personally love the corally, peachy, pinky colour. Still, it has to be taken into account that my lips are not very pigmented. Several people have complained that the colour simply disappears. The duochrome is also quite sufficient IMO - my sis commented on how cool my lipstick was and that it looked as if there was a greenish glaze on top... so yeah, definitely evident enough
My only complaint would be htat LL appears slightly drying - I really have to condition my lips thoroughly before applying, otherwise I'm left with nasty dry patches and chipped lips. Yuck. Not a pretty at all
