Sun-rush is great for a glow with the tinted moisturiser MAC does as it runs a little matte. I add a little to it or use it as a highlight on my cheeks for a summer glow.

If I worked in Boots I would be in BIG trouble. I would get the sack within a week as I would spend the whole day looking and playing with their products!

They also do a delicious coconut and almond body butter do they not? I was salivating over that yesterday. I love Boots!

That's exactly what my MUA told me.

She also said that you can mix your pigments into them to make cool bases for the eyes or cream liners.

I tried the drops when they came out with Style Warriors and they didn't do a thing for me. I will give it another go, though. Maybe I should try the pink one? I was kind of a rookie then so I hope playing around with makeup and becoming more comfortable will help me make this work now.

 

[meToo]

with lustre drops, what if you wear a powder foundation? can you just swipe a little on your cheeks or something like you would strobe cream?

I honestly love putting Hawaiian Tropic suntan oil on me in the summer! It gives me that awesome shiny look to my legs & the smell isn't too over powering, it's just right! Plus I get a nice tan from it too.

But I am a Cali girl...

I think this will work fine, too.

i got both the coconut and yogurt one yesterday! OMG they smell out fo this world... the guys at work were sniffing them and now want them too!

I mixed Pink Rebel lustre drops into my foundation yesterday and it looked so nice and glowy! I kept seeing that ad with Jessica Biel for the Revlon pink face highlighter cream or whatever that is, so I used Pink Rebel to convince myself that I don't need the Revlon one! LOL.

 

[shontay07108]

I think I'll buy Pink Rebel. It seems gold highlighters just blend right into me and I can't see an ounce of difference. Now I'm excited for it. I know it will sell out ASAP.

I don't really consider coconut food, more like a desert drink hehe. The smell makes me envision sipping pina coladas on a tropical beach which is also why I love it.

There are different coconut smells out there though, and not all are good.
The suntan coconut smell is not my thing, I can always smell if someone is wearing it. I wear it myself from time to time but for the smell.

I looove desert smells though, like cupcakes and other sweet things, but I agree some of them can be annoyingly sweet. You just have to find a perfectly balanced one... I have a sweet perfume tooth.

I love the Pink Rebel Lustre Drops they are perfect for the J Lo glowy look. I'll be getting the Sun Rush ones from this collection.

I am wondering about the Cream Bronzer. I've never used a cream bronzer before. What do you do with it? Can you add it to your winter foundation to darken it up a bit? Does it have a shimmer to it? It seems like a great product, but I'm just not sure what I could do with it. Thanks for your help

 

[clslvr6spd]

I have Sun Rush from SW & I love it. I am going to get Pink Rebel this time around, hopefully it wont be too pink on my skin! It looks gorgeous though!

 

[Susanne]

Ok, I think I will get Pink Rebel as well

 

[Pinky & Poodle]

Pink Rebel is on my list as well.

Finding new ways to use pink, is sort of a hobby of mine

I don't know about these new Mac bronzers, but I have a Chanel cream bronzer. It is very nice product as it is the first one I've found to be natural and light enough even for the palest skintones. I use it to contour or instead of blush. You can also spread it to your whole face, cleavage etc. like a foudation and it does not look orange or fake. Brilliant! Add some Sun Rush to the high planes of your face and you have a glowing summer look ready for the beach!

I'm very exicted about the body oil! I hope that it will be great! That's the number one product on my list.

Am I the only one who finds it odd to wear make up to the beach?

 

[shontay07108]

Only a complete diva would wear makeup to the beach. And I would be that diva!

I can't swim, I'm afraid of water

silly me.

I go to the beach to tan and play volleyball so it's alright to wear makeup... but I prefer not to! I just wear eyeliner and mascara
