Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Love the look you posted, Heiaken! Very pretty!

I'm still thrilled with my VV goodies. Have no interest in going back for anything else either.

Lmao! I dont really wear l/s,but that was the only one I even considered,since I like purples. The rest look like they'd give you "crackhead lips" but might go back & get the magic cooling powder & l/g. I was too tired last night to play or put away my other goodies.

Shontay, I felt the same way but a few months ago I was able to pick up the Clarisonic Plus (with the body brush and cleanser kit) on QVC for an insanely good price and on flex pay (figured I could work the $30/month payments). Now that I have been using it on a regular basis I can tell you that it is worth every penny. I use far fewer products and the ones I do use do a better job. I will be 45 in December and I am told that I look like I am 30. My pores are virtually invisible. The body brush works miracles on the neck, hands, heels and elbows. If my house caught fire I would grab the dog and the Clarisonic, thats how much I love this thing.

Really! I have been pondering that thing. The only reason I didn't is because I read that it could cause vein breakage under the skin

but I don't know if that is really true. hmmm...

I did alot of research on this one since I have rosacea and extremely sensitive skin. I had always heard I should NEVER exfoliate or use scrubs or peels. Now I know that is ridiculous.

My Clarisonic came with 3 different brushes for the face. Normal, sensitive and gentle. I use the sensitive brush on mine ( the softest one is the gentle) with the lowest speed for 1 minute. No problems whatsoever.

Honestly, I think you will love it. I use it with my Shiseido cleanser (although you can use any cleanser) followed by my Chanel s/s and moisturizer. Heaven!

Back on topic: I love everything I bought and am fighting the urge to pick up more. I was going to try and find OSF but think I will wait for the holiday collection instead. One of the face kits has that and Dame blush in it (another item on my wish list). After seeing the info on TT and Chanel and Nars holiday I need to go on a no buy and seriously budget.

My daughter Victoria is 20 and a MAC addict. She has never worn anything else. She is NW15 with blonde hair and blue eyes. She resembles a walking, talking Barbie doll. She did a look last night that was amazing. Smokey eye with SWD and Feline and nude lips with IB and Resort Life. I will see if she will let me post a pic.

LUCKY! In the U.S we can't B2m for any special packaging :/

Jennifer Hudson looks great, I'm still trying to adjust to her crazy weight loss, it looks off to me, I think it's because of her head. But her bod is amazing.

Can't remember all the products but the main ones are: My Dark Magic mes (both sides) Her Alter Image e/s Blacktrack fluidline Creme Cup l/s Bite of an Apple blush Tinted moisturizer, a touch of concealer The liquid powder! It felt so cool! Attachment 11744Attachment 11745

Your pictures have made me want My Dark Magic and Bite of an Apple now! Gorgeous!

Echoing the love for the Clarisonic. I've been using mine for just over a month now and my skin looks supreme. I use a sensitive head on low speed with either my Mario Badescu enzyme cleansing gel (non-foaming very gentle AHA) for daily cleaning, or Mario's foaming glycolic wash if I really want to get the week out of my skin.

My skin is tissue thin and wildly reactive to manual stimulation and heat (I'm one of those poor souls who gets mosquito bite-like welts across their chest, shoulders and back in tepid water, let alone hot), but my skin has been great with the Clarisonic. Once that initial purge was over, that is. I looked like a teenage boy for the first week

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

This is totally making me re-think my decision to not get a Clarisonic...

Wow - SOLD! Thanks for that. My skin is very thin as well...in more ways than one

I don't even know what it is exactly and these ladies make me want it!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I did green eyes and SP on my lips today..the mixed it lightly with Ruby Woo. More raspberry!

Was going to get TT but decided to color my hair red again instead. Maybe they will re-release TT again someday in another collection..

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Another rave for the Clarisonic! My hubby bought it for me as a mother's day gift and I really love it. I use the gentlest head and lowest setting with my Paula's Choice cleanser and although it hasn't been a miracle cure for my skin problems (I have sensitive skin and am very breakout prone), my skin feels so clean and soft afterwards. I also only use mine every other day or so - since I've read that using it too much isn't very good for the skin.

Back on topic, I am wearing a very sheered out wash of Toxic Tale and it is beautiful! A really pretty hot coral pink. I was so afraid of this color!!
I keep looking at myself in the mirror to make sure I actually like it and that it looks okay. I kind of wish it were a cremesheen or amplified finish, but I'm surprisingly liking the color.
I think it is pulling a little more pink on me, probably because I used a light hand (and put the lippie on over some lip balm). I'll have to try a heavier application later, see if I can pull a bit more of the orange out.

I'm wearing NARS Orgasm blush with it and that combo on the cheeks and lips is pretty - it looks SO summery!

yeah her figure is amazing! however i think she was still pretty before. i feel she is a little too slim for my liking - but she has done so much work and it really has paid off for her

and drat you guys making me want a clarisonic! they're really pricey in the uk!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Another plug for the clarisonic.

I got mine 2 years ago during the Sephora F&F sale. If I go a couple of days without using it, my skin feels not nearly as smooth.
And, makeup isn't as smooth if I skip several days. I've use various exfoliaters (Kate Summerville, philosophy, and right now really liking Kate Summerville once a week), but I find the Clarisonic just does something differnet than exfoliators.
I got one for my mom for her birthday and she loves it now.
(QVC is where I got that one, and they have ez pay every now and then)

anywhoos...
I have a dinner tonight, and I'm wishing I had my MES to wear. they won't be here til Tues. I think I'm going to try the Vainglorious over GPS tonight instead. Hmm.

After all my orders, it's going to be easier to list what I didn't get from this collection. I'm not regretting either. I'm happy as can be with what I have so far, and excited for what's coming.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Briar Rose was the only item I picked up from this collection. It's my first beauty powder ever. It's so beautiful and I'm so in love with it

do you use it for sculpting or as a blush?
