Glad you liked your makeover

For the cream bronzer I do not have the brush-hair problem, but I have it with my cremeblush

Back then it seemed to be a general problem.
As a brush I am using the 130 and like it a lot. Also tried the 167, but for me it was not dense enough and I did not get any product on the brush.

Today, I wore Float on By on my upper lash line, and it stayed beautiful all day. Just sayin'

awesome! i figured i'd need to get that brush. i've been wanting it forever.

i wish i'd gotten the cremeblushes cuz summer i love creamy products. simple cream shadows and creamy face stuff is just easier to me for some reason!

I used float on by for the last 2 days, and It stayed on verrry well. So well I had to wash my face twice and use makeup remover to get it off. lol. It's such a beautiful color, so I didn't mind.

I am really happy I did, sometimes powder looks weird on my dry skin.
Lucky you the brush is perm in the US

I thought the 130 brush was permanent everywhere.

Could be, just checked online and it is not labeled as LE any more. But who knows

Last night, I had a dream about Lustre Drops, bright coral, a darker pink and a lavender/purple, all with a bit of golden shimmer.

Funny,

In the past I didn't usually pay much attention to MAC's LE collections.

In fact, I used to pass them by. I disliked LE products, felt the entire concept was unfair.

The first one that really got my attention was Style Black. I loved that collection.

Now TTB has gotten my absolute attention for summer. I adore it! I made off with more products than I intended and even managed to get my sister interested.

So, while playing around with Shimmermoss (the pan version, not the LE packaging) I discovered that this shadow loves Delft PP. Gorgeous!

I'm NC45/50 for reference. I tried Shimmermoss over a slew of PP and Paints and Delft is it!

I enjoy mixing and layering and playing around with my makeup. Now I need to come up with more combos. I believe I may actually reach pan on this shadow by the end of the summer.

Vanilla pigment on the lid
Sand&Sun in the crease
Firecracker on the outer corner
Float on By top lash

Yikes that is a bad reaction. Mine isn't quite that bad since my start sometimes by late, late evening and then the next day. Mine is always both eyes and yes I"ve had to use a warm cloth too

. I'm sorry you have the problem with purple liners too

. I think I'd die if I couldnt wear purple liners. I hope as quickly as we got this allergy that it some day soon goes away!

I wore the new Opulash for the first time yesterday. Well, it definitely made my lashes long but not as vavoom as my beloved Diorshow waterproof. The brush size didn't bother me because I'm used to the bigger wand. The brush tip did do a great job finding every little lash in the corners & lower lash line. A big plus is that it really really stays, no smudging after awhile.
I hated the "pilling" it does when you take it off, but it does come off fairly easily. I will stay with the Dior & probably just use this for everyday wear.

Yesterday I wore Solar White, Flip and Humid together, with some Rosemary and Thyme thrown in there. It looked gorgeous! I also wore Beach Bronze cream bronzer, which is seriously my new favorite product. It looks glowy and natural, but adds a lot of bronze to my NW20 skin!
I wore Kumquat from SCF on my lips and Ripe Peach blush too!

I've been told by the MA's here that it is going to stay on as a perm brush.

Oh No!

I hope one turns up somewhere for you. If I would have known yesterday - I could have picked one up for you.

So I am still waiting to see today if Marine Life is in my order or not. I ordered it and it was in stock on the site, and it's still showing in my orders. I emailed mac and I got this response..'

"Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to email us at M.A.C Cosmetics Online.

Unfortunately, Marine Life High Light Powder was a limited edition item
and we no longer have any stock remaining. We apologize for any
inconvenience. You will receive the remainder of your order in
approximately 1-2 business days."

I gave her the order number to check and got that response. So it sounds like it's not coming, but like I said still showing in the order details on the site. Who knows what happened. We should see soon, if it comes today, which it should!

 

[LMD84]

mac should start working over time to make more marine life's for you guys! and i know this sounds crazy but because the damn thing is so 'wanted' i feel like i want one too! i know i don't really because i'm happy with all my other cheek products... the hype is just getting to me!
