like Katia this collection for the most part either wouldn't work for me (lip stuff) or i just don't need/ want it (eye stuff!) different strokes for different folks right?!

Ok, cool! So, you can get that Mineralize All-Over Lotion anytime. I might purchase one sometime soon. If any of you bought this lotion, how is it?

I bought it and raved about it few pages back. I have been mixing it with my foundation now a few times and I really like it! On skin it feels light and soft and it absorbs quickly. It's not greasy. It leaves a beautiful glow on skin (there is no glitter/shimmer in the lotion itself, only the result is glowy)! I'm defenately going to buy more of these, I'm happy that it's permanent now.

Yay, I love Dezi. She is who convinced me to get Modelette, cuz I could see it applied on darker tone.


I wasn't correcting you on modellete, I was agreeing that someone said it looked similiar to a permanent color. I am sorry if I said it wrong, I wasn't being mouthy.

I may go back and get Feeling Dreamy lip glass since it's such a pretty shade and also Cuddle and Nurture are calling my name but I'm trying to resist them since I don't use the other 2 shadesticks I own that often. What do you guys think? Should I get them or not?

If you don't use the shadesticks you have, you probably won't use these ones either. Save money and pass on 'em!

Thanks, you've made it easier for me to get over the lemming. But....
Now I'm curious about the mineralize lotion. Do any of you ladies who have purchased it have combo-acne prone-sensitive skin? Would you suggest I get it? I'm looking for a new moisturizer so the info would be great. TIA

Awesome! I will purchase that sometime soon and try it with foundation.

I had a really busy day and couldn't share my recent W&C goodies with you all until now.

Yesterday I spend the whole day shopping for my dad and between shops I hit my Pro. Everything was still there so I got to play with everything!!! I was so lucky because it was released on friday, I hardly believe it was still everything there! Usually everything goes really fast during the first two days, anyway I was still in hopes because it'll hit counters next week, but you know me I get impatient when it comes to cosmetics...

By Candlelight is just amazing, i really have no words!!

I wore it yesterday (i couldn't resist) and today. Lou and Bianca are so right, it gives the most gorgeous glow and as an eye shadow is just precious!

The eye shadows (Chamomile, Mulled Cider and Modelette), which I was really excited for turned to be

in person, at least to me. Very poor pigmentation, definitely not worthy. In contrast, the shadesticks which I was very doubtful for, really excited me. Maybe I won't use them as frequently, but I'm so in love with the shades. I got them due to pure lust! I know they'll make me happy even if I only swatch them on my hand from time to time!!

I was sure to get Dim the lights, but I had very similar nailpolishes that I just couldn't justify getting it when I'm trying to stock in piggies before they change size in here. Also I kept thinking in Spring Colour Forecast and Chanel Les Impressions.

Anyway I had the most fun!!

So I ended with:

By Candlelight MSF
2N l/s
Cuddle Shadestick,
Nurture Shadestick,
Warm & Cozy Shadestick,
Relaxed Shadestick.

Plus, Gold and Rose Gold piggies came home with me instead the eyeshadows!!!

I have a sample and will buy it. It is very nice on the skin and lets my concealer go on my winter-dry skin a lot better. And the concealer stays put and does not look cakey. Like it, although it is really expensive I think.

Ack, what she said. Nice, glowy skin, no sparkles.

I have sensitive skin, and so far no issues etc. But maybe you can get a sample before you buy it and give it a try?

I am SO late to this party, but after seeing a FOTD on LJ, I think I need Cuddle Shadestick. I only ever had Sea Me, and sold it cause I didn't use it. I think that was more because of the color, rather than the fact that it was a shadestick. I didn't read back in the thread, but are there any Cuddle lovers? Do I need it? I should say that I primarily wear very light colors on my lids. Usually Vanilla e/s or pigment. Has anyone tried this blended as a cheek highlight?

 

[TeresitaMC]

I don't have it but I swatched it and it is so smooth and gorgeous looking, too! If I wore light lid colours often, I would have picked it up, definitely.
It went on my list after I swatched it but I realized 3 shadesticks is too much ($) for me so I am sticking to Relaxed and Nurture. Anyone else have Cuddle that could help Audrey further?

Wow, based on swatches I thought Chamomile was very pigmented

. I'm fond of this colour but have something similar.
Can you, or anyone, confirm it's pigmentation/payoff

? Thank you!

Thanks so much for the info and here in Mexico they don't give samples of products, which is just dumb

I'll go and have a look at it again.

 

[bgajon]

Today I used Relaxed as a liner and I lightly smudged it as some of you ladies here used it. It gave me a super easy smokey eye that I LOVE!! The texture of this shade stick is amazing, I love it.

I have cuddle and I must say I love it. It's basically a light yellow gold, a bit more yellow than dreammaker e/s. I think it'll make an amazing base or a great tearduct highlighter. Also I find these shadesticks,at least the ones I've got, very creamy and easy blendable. Whether it's a must have or not, I don't dare to say. To me, make up is about love and lust,... if it makes my hearth beat, I pick it. I don't keep in mind if it's going to be useful or not.

I hope I was of any help

I expected Chamomile to replace my HG highlighter, Chanel Ylang Ombre Unique, long discontinued. Ylang is so creamy, pigmented, easy blendable and with a golden undertone (not at all glittery) that I adore. To me it is pure perfection so I had high hopes on Chamomile. Maybe my mistake was to swatch it first and once I found it not at all comparable to Ylang I lost interest in the other eyeshadows.

Just my opinion, but I hope I was of any help to you too.

I got my box on Tuesday!!!

i absolutely LOVE everything i got and i'm planning to do more damage

Dim the Lights nail lacquer is the bomb!! I've been searching for a nice chocolate brown nail polish and the fact that buying this sight unseen was scaring me because i'm picky when it comes to nail polish. I love it, it's the perfect shade.

I love Modellete and Mulled cider as well. I already have embark so i passed and i have lots of other hightlighter shades and passed on chamomile too. Modelete is the perfect skin colour es on me.
Modelete (lid), Mulled cider (crease), embark (outer corner) :up: Perfect neutral look.

I got both msf's and love them too!!

I also got warm n cosy shadestick, warm me up lippy and 2n lipglass.

I love my haul
