No I don't have Mounia, Taj Mahal and Gina yet. I will get them sometime soon though.

I have collected make up for ages and none of my items have gone bad!!

Call me nuts, but when I left home for graduate school, my whole make up collection went with me!!

Yes, my nailpolishes too!!

Of course, it was way smaller than now... but it was 2-3 carry ons with carefully wrapped and packed items!!!

I love In The Buff! I've been wearing it for 5 weeks straight....I just don't want to wear any other colors on my fingernails since I first tried it out. It looks great with a medium length almond shaped nail. I've got a lot of khaki green and grey clothes so it matches really well.

I'll probably switch colors once it's fall, but for the summer I'm gonna stick with ITB.

Float on By is really lovely.

I'm glad I got it.

Not sure why I did my makeup this morning though, I'm going camping for the weekend (still taking my makeup bag- where am I going to find a mirror?)

Hope you're having fun camping! I love camping, too!

I'm sure you're looking fab out there.

Jumping back on here to share in the Float on By love--I wore it yesterday with Rated "R" (in place of Sweet & Punchy) patted over it and smudged together. So simple and pretty!

There is no freaking way my whole makeup collection can come along with me - I just have too damn much (MAC + nail polishes + perfumes). Besides, I wouldn't want to risk any of the MSFs breaking during transit. Maybe I'll figure something out. But then I'll want all my clothes/shoes/bags/accessories there too, as well as my beloved bed... Sigh. I just cannot live without variety.

Me neither!!

Don't worry, you'll figure something out!!

I always bubblewrap everything and never had a problem!!

Yes, I know I can always bubblewrap them, but I have too much stuff to even bubblewrap each and every single one of them (and the wrappings will make the items bulky which then takes up a lot more space).

Kisses to you too!

I have moved twice in the past 3 years for school. Everything was bubble wrapped. Yes it took a lot of time and space but atleast i had the peace of mind that nothing broke

Galaxy cream eyeshadow over the lid (any other mute grey on crease and outer corner if desired) and Float on By in the upper lash line, a bit blended into the lid ... just gorgeus!!!

So ticked about Flurry of Fun. After scheming on it and finally finding one that wasn't sold out on the Nordie's site, I ordered it and in my excitement, left an old shipping address. So of course the package was returned and Nordies lost the return (or claim they did) and no Flurry of Fun for me.

I am bummed. Maybe I can try to create my own by adding some reflects teal glitter into a tangerine lippy. Any ideas for dupes of the background color?

of course its my own fault for being a bimbo, but what can I do?

Oh, that's too bad!

I think a couple stores/counters around here actually have Flurry of Fun still, at least last time I checked. I have been debating for so long about whether or not to get it but only have one set of stuff to B2M at the moment. Lol I'm so conflicted about how to use it!

did you miss all the discussion about marine life?

i doubt you'd still be able to find it. everyone was going crazy about it , so it sold out in hours on the first day of release.

Im NC 42 and I dont like how they look on me I have tried lightly lining my lips with them, lightly filling my lips in then putting a gloss , using them with a nude lip, tried putting them over a clear lip gloss and tried mixing them with no luck finding a way to use them Any idea other than what I've tried? Id hate to see them go to waste. Thanks

i don't know if you have any of the other lip products from this collection, but i like 'temperature rising' under lipsticks like 'fun bathing' or 'thrills' to change their tone a little, without going ott orange.

i don't have 'life's a breeze' so not sure what to suggest there.

This

I love mine although the name is a little misleading since it's more a blush than a highlighting powder, but if you can find one I recommend getting it
