I have been using this as my "health dose" in my recovery from a bad cold -- and most people don't know I am even sick since I use this and it makes me look like I got just a tiny bit of sun! Also, don't be concerned about it making you break out -- I can still get a small blemish from a heavy, oil or silicone product, but this is so light and sheer it has not caused any blemishes at all -- love it!

Sorry about your unemployment. I have been unemployed for a year as of last Friday but thankfully I worked at that last place for 3 yrs so I was able to get benefits. I just had to file a new claim and I have no idea how long this one lasts and I have only one possible job in site. Other then that this whole past year has been only a few interviews and no offers for jobs at all. The one place I applied to for an admin position had 195 applicants! Its terrible out there. I hope you can someway get the cash so you can get what you need. I know how you feel for sure. I sold some of my things at a yard sale this weekend and made a little cash so I can buy stuff from this collection. Also over the past year I've sold things on ebay and Craigslist so try those too. Craigslist doesnt charge so try that first. Hunt around the house and maybe you can find some other things you might be able to sell. That's what I did. Good luck!

One wearing a bikini

If you are interested I can make a swatch for you when I get home.

 

[Flaminbird]

I called my local store and there are no stores in the DC/VA area having the unveiling party.

 

[Enchantedcameo]

I saw these lovely things in our drawers at work but didn't get a chance to swatch will do on Thursday when i work again.

Hearing your story really touched me. I hope everything thing works out. Keep your head up and remember that good things come to those who persevere. Don't let the actions of others rain on your parade and having you doubting yourself. Be strong and know that you've got your on back and when it seems that noone else does.

Darn Richmond is 1.5 hours away from me

. Arrgghhhh....too far for me to drive. Thanks for letting me know though. I wish I was closer!!!!

Can anyone compare Shimmermoss to Mutiny pigment?

Karlasugar said cream bronzers are both sparkly. Should I go for the softer Golden powder bronzer?

But sparkly cream bronzer sounds tempting, too.

 

[chickatthegym]

Mutiny is much much lighter than Shimmermoss but I don't have shimmermoss to compare because I have UD Shattered, which temptalia said is the closest dupe. So I don't think I am going to get Shimmermoss...

 

[peachsuns]

Thank you chickatthegym!
I'm always attracted to those sparkly light blue kind of shade.
And I know those are not the colors I use everyday.

Maybe I've been hypnotized by MAC.

One more week to think about it.

 

[chickatthegym]

^You're welcome

I know what you mean! I LOVE blues and teals but find that I do not wear them that much and I have too many. I was glad that Temptalia mentioned Shattered being so close to Shimmermoss because I can pass on that one.

I am going to the preview party tonight!!! I am bringing Sharp to compare to Sweet & Punchy

That was the other one I haven't figured out yet... does anyone know how they compare?

YW and good luck with selling some stuff. I havent been able to get what stuff is worth but like I figure $1-$5 is better then nothing. I know I never find the deals people got from my yard sale

I like the bikini idea!

As for the swatch, I've already decided on the both lazy day and life's a breeze so don't need any more convincing, but thanks!
