Do all of MUFE's eyeshadows stain like #92 does?
Just got it a few days ago. While the color is amazing it stains like no eyeshadow I have ever used. It's ok for me with an unusual color like that purple, but for everyday black I might be better of getting something that isn't such a hassle to get off!

USA is a better source for a CP I think

Thanks Miss Alpha, that's a good idea! I'll wait until payday and post a thread in the CP forum.

I'm not even sure 100% if it's the right color so I'll prolly have to shell out for 2 bottles and swap the other so I hope it's worth it!!

It's so hard to get MUFE here it's unreal!! At least I can get the Lift concealer and shadows so that's one thing. I am lemming their matte orange coral badly after seeing a FOTD!

#75 also stains
The matte, really pink/red/purple ones stains...
They were supposed to change the formula, I don't know if they did, as I still use my old #92 and #75 (bought more than 2 years ago).

I'm trying to decide which colour primer I should get. I can't choose between the pink and the blue. I just want something that will brighten my face, I'm PPP. Any suggestions?

What do you mean about a color primer?
For the eyes???
What products are you talking about (pink and blue)?

As for me, my e/s base is #12 from the concealer palette.
Stays all day/night long

 

[Septemba]

I mean the HD Microperfecting Primer

^ My mom uses the blue and its great for illuminating the skin

 

[Septemba]

Thanks, bp!

 

[Girl about town]

i use the blue primer and i really like it, it really evens out my skintone!! i think i'll try the green one next though!!

 

[Willa]

I use the white one, it's great when you have dry skin
The green one is to use with parsimony

Reviews of 100% Silica Powder...

(not powders containing silica or pressed powders)

This is an FYI:



It seems like silica is a stubborn little sucker that sticks to human lung tissues quite well...provided the exposure limit info I've posted, and the lack of knowledge on its elimination half life & mechanism, it's better to stay away from it...yes dusting one's face every morning for 5mins may seem minute, but the toxic exposure is only 0.1mg-10mg/m3, the volume is only a cube of 1 meter edge, which is likely the volume that we get surround by the powder during application.


I also looked at the MSDS silica sheet from CS, and the exposure level that they've listed from OSHA, PEL & TLV (short for permissible, threshhold exposure levels) for a TWA (time weighted average, ~8hrs/day), is 6mg - 10mg/m3, while to cause silicosis via chronic expos. merely req. 0.1mg/m3. Given that little amount of silica in a volume of a cube with 1 meter edges, I would stay away from silica all together, regardless of the brand.

Dilemma!!

How do you get your MUFE eye shadows out of your palette?? I have a 10 pan one and I want to check the shade # on one of them. I'm scared I'm going to f--k it up or get it all over my hands. Its really stuck in there!

Any suggestions?

 

[Ikara]

I press the side of the cardboard next to the pan and pull the pan up with my nail, if that doesn't work just find something really thin and tiny to squeeze next to it.

 

[Willa]

I use my nail limer (a thin and pointed shaped one)

 

[LatinaRose]

Thanks for your tips. I did manage to get it out by using a nail thingie pressed against the side. It wasn't easy and once it popped out, I ended up dragging my hand across the palette from the pressure. Ooops! Although all the colors looked quite pretty the way they ended up on my hand lol.

Thanks again!

Yesterday I went to a MUFE store and they had all HD shades (hopefully cuz 117 is not on their site!) and I also got the glossy full couleur collection.
There are new spring shades available! but I didn't see any special collection pack. 6,7,8,9&10 sephora carries them all except from the 9, pastel mauve

So... they already are available or in Spain it works different hehehe

Any fans of MUFE's lipglosses and lippies? Any recs? I've never tried their lip stuff before but I'm thinking about a mini haul this week.

 

[Ikara]

I have one lipstick and just bought glossy full couleur yesterday so I'll have to try them a bit...

Lipsticks... are fine, as good as mac

Lipglosses... I just have glossy full, it does smooth out lips, they are minty plus you get x2 the amount in one tube. The color goes on really sheer and they are not sticky. I'll try to swatch them asap.
MzzRach swatched some of the super lip gloss at the MUFE swatches thread, maybe she could tell you more about them.

 

[MetteLine]

Maybe this has been asked allready, but I'll try anyway.

Does anybody know, if there are any online shops, who sells MUFE, that ship to Europe (Denmark)?

I'm a huge fan of the Super Lip Gloss - great colours and wears like iron. Very sticky though, so if you cannot stand any stickiness, this gloss is not for you. I posted a bunch of swatches in the swatch thread - it's about halfway down the page:
