THIS! My boyfriend has three cars and he's constantly saying to me "Do you need another MAC lippy or MSF?" (bear in mind he bought me Lightscapade last week as a surprise and said "I told the girl you were translucently pale and she suggested this one") I don't say anything now I just point to the garage!
Oh the day mine buys me anything from MAC of his own volition, I think I will be happier than if I had received a marriage proposal lol.

Was just about to point this out. The bad part of being a pro is you don't get the free shipping perk on a small haul (and you only get it on "big" hauls 3 times)...then again that 40% discount is worth the small price of paying shipping lol (unless your shipping is more than your discount...in that case I'd say skip the discount and just pay retail....or use it as an excuse to add a little more to your order lol)

Normally i always go to the store to handpick my msf's with mineralize collections, but since i can't get to the store tomorrow i had to order online. I was kinda worried my Rio would be too brown/ Adored wouldn't be coral enough, but luckily they turned out exactly how i wanted em to be

I also bought the 159 brush, can't wait to try it :)
Your Adored looks really corally and pigmented, nice one!

Can anyone tell me if the 159 brush will be permanent also in Europe? and why it costs so much in Germany?? I've looked at all the european prices and I still don't know how much it costs here in Italy ahah

Update on my real life makeup friend who was stuck in the 90's matte makeup style:

We got together yesterday with plenty of time to play with hair and MU. I showed her all my favorite, modern makeup crushes, like Elude, Forever Marilyn BP, and the new MSFs. She'd never seen anything like any of them. I gave her some Adored along her cheekbones and the difference was huge, even though it was just a subtle change. She's officially converted!

I also did her eye makeup, which I was a little nervous about, because I never get to play around on other people, only myself. She already had on a dark grey contoured shadow, so I gave her a touch of the black Crushed Metal pigment from a couple holidays ago, just on the lids, with some silver CMP dabbed in the center of the eyelid and blended and it looked really fantastic on her. Really accentuated her eyes! We slapped on some big old, 60's style fake lashes too.

She wanted soft pink lipstick so I suggested Hip 'n Happy lip pencil all over, with Double Spin on top (she liked Venus too, but I thought it wasn't quite "party time" enough for her outfit and eye makeup). She's got quite thin lips, but this made them look much fuller.

She kept telling me how everyone at the parties we went to were complimenting her makeup, so that was pretty awesome. I thought I was going to mess up and smudge eye shadow all over her face. :D

I used that violet pink Electric Cool shadow from last summer all over my lid as a base for Tropica and holy moley, that is an excellent duo. I put a touch of Zestful near the tear ducts and very very lightly swept above the crease, but not all the way up to the brows, with Night Trail plw liner in the water lines and it was a gorgeous look that lasted all day and night. Those Electric Cool shadows were really excellent. I hope the day comes when they bring them back (although I'm not holding my breath). One of my favorite MAC eye shadow formulas, especially the non-sparkly ones like Infra Violet and the coral color. Is there another brand that does something like them?

I finished my look with Rio on top of some Fiery Impact EDB - that was a good combo for toning down the warmth in Fiery Impact just a smidge. Then I went for Ronnie Red on the lips. Love Goddess might have been a better choice, but I didn't want to dig around for my tube and Ronnie Red was right there. It was a lot of color in this look - but hey, it's a party and it photographed well!

I received my 159 brush today and I was surprised how small it was. It picked up loads of powder with the MES's from this collection and made them messy. I don't think its worth getting if its really expensive over there. I'd stick to the 187.

Does anyone know if the patterns in mes's change as you use them? Does that make sense? I'm not too happy with the patterns I got.

As you use them the layers will change. This is normal. Are you not happy with how they appeared when they arrived or are you not happy with the way it looks after use? A lot of people prefer going to a counter so they can pick the pattern that appeals to them the most...
