MAC Warm & Cozy Collection

[Susanne]

I got today

MSF By Candlelight
n/p Dim The Lights
lip conditioner Feelin' Good
l/g Feeling Dreamy

.... and ... as a positive surprise

the care blend essential oil! I have combination skin in fall and oily skin in summer.
Now in winter it is just dry. But still has breakouts

This oil is AMAZING. I mixed it with my foundation - my skin looks healthy and rich again.

I will test the oil a few more days!

^Isn't it nice! I love that stuff, I actually have oily skin year round but sometimes my foundation looks too 'dry' or too matte and this stuff makes it look so much better! Studio Sculpt looks frickin amazing with this!

Hmmm, I might have to check out the oil. I have combo skin, but mostly dry. Susanne PLEASE post how your skin reacts to it!

Haven't actually worn the shadows yet, but I found all of them (except Embark) to be fairly pigmented when swatched on the back of my hand.

I'm wearing Dim the Lights on my nails today and i am LOVING it! It's the perfect chocolate brown nail polish ever.

I recently purchased the Warm Me Up lipstick & I think there's something wrong. I've seen all the swatches & it looked great. I even saw some on temptalia's lip & it looked like the perfect neutral color (i've got the same tones & coloring).

Well, I just got around today to use it & I was extremely disappointed. It completely washed me out!! I looked like I was sick. I don't understand, I even tried pairing it w/ two diff glosses (stila's kitten, lip fusion's bare) - but still no improvement.

does anyone have any suggestions? The reason I purchased it was to make a neutral lip look, not pale. I really don't like light colored lips. Please help

Yes, I will for sure during the next weeks!
I woke up this morning, without any breakouts, but my skin is as soft as it hasn't been during the last weeks.

great stuff! i'm too scared to try the oil though. i used to get terrible acne and only over the past 6 months it seems to have settled. so i'm scared to try new things on my face in case it flares up again!

So did I! But I totally trust my MA. She would not sell me anything she would not be convinced of for oily skin.

Yes, I am really glad to have her. She has become a friend in the meanwhile.

I am sorry that Warm Me Up isn't working for you.

My lips have almost no pigmentation and I am on a lipstick and lipglass no-buy so I haven't bought Warm Me Up.

Do you have pigmented lips and have you tried it with a lipstain or lipliner under it?

Ok, a story for you. As you know I am wearing the Care Blend Essential Oil since yesterday.

My boyfriend said today: What has happened to your face skin? It looks so different, not dry anymore? What did you apply?

He usually never comments on things like that! All I know is he likes Viva Glam I lipstick.

But I think I have made a lucky catch so far

Hubby almost never compliments my make up but smiles in a distinctive way when he looks at it!!!
