Oh GOD! Don't even say that! I will cry and curse and throw things!Wow! I am shocked that this collection has so many complaints. Glad I'm skipping it. All I have to say is MAC better not screw up the Marilyn collection. I will be so PISSED if they do.

Thanks for this info. I got Force of Love lipstick (Chenman coll.), and while i've worn it a few times, i think i look like a cross between Bozo the Clown and a bag lady. I'm fine wearing green, teal, sapphire, blue-violet, mauve, plum or brown l/s, but i'm not a BRIGHT lipstick wearer normally (i do find the l/g more wearable). So i decided to try to change my attitude and i'm just not feelin' it. I tried Beet with FoL, but wasn't crazy for the result. I have a couple brown liners - Whirl, and some non-MAC - and I'll give 'em a... uh... whirl. ;-p

I also used the peach shadow, the cranberry liner and Cranberry shadow on my lower lash line as well. This look didn't take long to do. I didn't do anything special or magical... I simply used a base and a 217 brush. Again: my intent is not to sell you the product but to PROVE that these do work without putting in "extra" effort... Are these a must-have? Nope. But Beth Mask is a product that can be used for those days you don't have time to do fancy looks... My point is just take reviews with a grain of salt. Some (not all) bloggers who review products have no clue what they're doing or what they're talking about. I had zero issues with Beth Mask.
Loverush blush on the cheeks and Pillow Talk lipstick on the lips
I snipped off the photos, but you look lovely. You have such great skill with your eyes.

I liked the way Strada looked when i tested it, but didn't both to pick up the refill in a near-by MAC Pro shop. Now you're making me want to get Powder To The People after all! You sneaky enabler, you

I only love actual paints better than pots. LM eye basics are pretty good too. I use to love UDPP but these products are much better and UDPP creases on me, these don't.Ip/p as a base.
Well, I said I was skipping, but somehow YPA ended up in my cart with the Sailor restock. I realized I don't have a nice neutralish light pink in the PL formula.

You're welcome. =) The peach shadow is softer than the burgundy / cranberry liner. BUT to soften cream products all you have to do is warm the product up a little bit on the back of your hand.. And it will glide like a dream.. It's not a must have, but it's a nice product to have... easy for quick looks.So glad you posted that. Yes, there are days when I want to just go straight out of the tube on everything and don't want to work, but most of the time, if l love a color, I will figure out a way to make it work. That combo in Beth Mask looks great the way you applied it, you are making me want to get it. I actually really like the grease sticks, maybe I am one of the few. I can't deal with it if its too dry and draggy, but too greasy I can put some powder on top of it and tame the grease, as long as I have a good no slip base on underneath. Occasionally, if I don't mind a little slip, I will use the grease stick as a base, just with a nonslip something underneath but I love the colors. And of course, set that puppy with a powder product. They make good bases for glittery stuff you don't want migrating.

The only issue I have with paints is the packaging and how one might end up wasting product (inevitable but very annoying).So glad you posted that.

I got my order today.
I got Dear Diary and YPA. They both look really pretty. Haven't tested them yet as I'm sick. Dear Diary looks really bright! But, I like that. The packaging of them feels really nice. These are my first Pro Longwear Lipcremes. I'm curious how Booyah! would look but am not sure. I was a NC20 last I checked. I wonder if I should get matched again tho as it's been awhile.
As for Dear Diary selling out, I noticed that yesterday. Kinda neat to have a sold out lippie. I'm usually late to the party lol and miss out. Still have skippers remorse about WMS.

Oh jeeze! He killed me! Loved that he explained the different uses for TTP. I laughed out loud when he was talking about Showgirls, makes perfect sense!
