Another thing...just rinse off the applicator sponge. It should take off the funbathing shade

I have Fleur Power but I don't use it much.

It is pretty but I guess it's not an everyday color for me. It can look really dramatic if worn heavily; I once put it on for my performance. It also doesn't help that it's kind of a cross between pink and peach (more pink-coral actually), so when I'm in the mood for a peach blush I reach for peach colors and when I'm in the mood for a pink blush I reach for the pinks... I just never reach for the in-between color.

I'm sure we won't regret our decision to skip Hipness for Marine Life. In fact my MA even told me not to get Hipness, 'cause she said it looks pretty but it's not extraordinary.

i agree with using a lip brush with the gloss. just spread some gloss onto the brush.

then apply! this is one of the main reasons why i don't layer gloss over lippie - for the most part anyways! i hate messing up the gloss brush!

Thanks ladies!! I tried sticking my brush in the container itself, never thought about using the applicator to put the gloss on the brush, duh

why didn't I think of that

Weekend creme bronzer broke me out....BOOOO!!!! it's ok though, since I couldn't really see it when I applied it.

hee hee! it's ok.... i used to put gloss on the back of my hand and use a finger to dab on my lips... and that is when i owned a lip brush!

it just occured to me one day using the brush would be better and less messy!

 

[RandomnessWithK]

okay everyone - i can't seem to find it anywhere..

if you have marine life - is it safe to say you can skip hipness blush?

or what are some hipness blush dupes? tytyty!

 

[Lisianthus]

Easy Lounger is so gorgeous in the tube but I wish it were more pigmented. The colour just disappears on my lips. The silver sparkles are its saving grace. I still want a back up though.

*tip*
next trip to the MAC counter ask the artist for a few extra lip wands

I always keep a few in my personal kit so I don't end up mixing the colors, I ruined my Sugar rimmed dazzle glass doing that , eesh

 

[elegant-one]

wow - so both lip pencils are sold out!

and, my beloved Lazy Day (cause I bought all of the rest of them)

jk

 

[shontay07108]

Well, I was playing with my stash this morning and I decided against Beachbound. I took Sunsational and put Flurry of Fun over it and it's just as amazing. So, there ya go.

You don't use Fleur Power much? Hmm. If it's really dramatic, I understand that since I don't use my Dollymix (my dramatic color) often either. Thank you, Winnie.

"in-between color" Hehe.

You have very honest MA, Winnie. My MA doesn't say which one I should not buy or anything, but it may not be so hard to read her mind. Once I told her that I want a certain lip stick, and she repeated "This? This?" I thought that was pretty funny.

I'm soo happy I decided to get Lazy Day (my MAC package today), despite what the MA said about it not being the best for my skin tone! I like it! I can't wait to wear it!

I do the exact same thing except I use lip brush instead of a finger. I don't want to mix lip gloss colors. Glad to know that I'm not the only one. Hehe.

Sushi~Flower that is so pretty look! I think blue-eyed gals can totally rock blues!

About the Fleur Power talk, that is one of my favorite blushes from Mac, it gives such a nice flush and healthy look, it works wonders for me!

This is true

...it's just that if you really want those puppies to POP blue, the colors to shoot for run in the orange, coral and rust colors. Blues, teals and greens are still my fav

despite what color theory says. Thanks!

 

[InspiredBlue]

Sushi~Flower, that beach looks amazing. My first reaction was that I thought it was a back drop

it just looks unreal
