Style Black questions and thoughts

[Jade M]

Don't go Sunday - you'll be disappointed ... Monday is the release day nationally

I've had internet issues for the last week, so haven't been able to access this - all fixed now.

I tried the thermal mask tonight (I got my training gratis yesterday) and my skin feels soooo soft, might be my new love seeing as though my Bliss Triple Oxygen mask is almost empty!

^^ Hehe, thanks Jade. I can't get to the store on Mondays, so my MUA let me have an early dip.

I normally use Biore warm/thermal mask and my skin literally falls off.. Can't wait for MAC VA!!

You can B2M for the lippie as it isn't special packaging.

Ok cool. Please do your MUA a favour and don't post that she's letting you do that. We got in trouble recently for doing the same for a customer with a recent collection

We were just being nice, but I can see how it isn't fair for everyone else, in case they miss out.

I hope you love the products though - they are amazing

Make sure you snap up a greasepaint stick and layer the min eye shadow over it!

Yeah I know.. She told me her store got in trouble for the same reason!

I'm heading in Moday after work and something tells me I'll be walking away with

Grease Paint Stick
Midnight Media Mattene (for the kit)
Gilt By Association (maybe depending on swatching)
Maybe this VA stuff, I already use the Microfine R'efinisher so whats the diff with the VAE??

On CP

Young Punk MES
Blue Flame MES
Cinderfella MES
Rave p/g (I know it's from LTL)

^^ Way to go Robyn!! Can't wait to see your FOTD using SB MES.
If you already have the exfoliator, skip VA one, but get the thermal mask!

 

[rockin26]

^^ Thanks Nat, that's what I was wondering with the VAE. I'll still check it out but I do love the Microfine Refinsher, I'm on my 2nd tube of the stuff which is rare for me to go back to a skin care product that costs that much.

I'm so excited about the MES, can wait to get my CP!!

 

[sambibabe]

I only heard great reviews about VAE, so I am sure it is worth buying

That's coz Monday is a public holiday here in case anyone was wondering.

I've got a list... but I don't know whether to get Black Knight or Midnight Media... any thoughts?

 

[simplyenchantin]

I'm going for BK because I want to use it to mix and suspect a creamy lipstick will mix better than a more matt one

 

[Jade M]

Black Knight will give you a creamy wash of greyish black and Midnight Media will give you more of an opaque black finish

 

[metal_romantic]

Thanks! I think I will go with MM... or both. Hehe.
I think we shall have to all post photos of ourselves getting creative with this collection ;-)

 

[sambibabe]

Just tried VA Thermal mask and it left my skin sooooo soft! Love it!!

 

[metal_romantic]

I'm not so impressed with the greasepaint... it does look a bit like greasepaint, lol. It's good to buff with your fingers for a smokey eye, and glitters in shadows show up better when applied on top, but I found it creased a lot (I used primer) so I wouldn't use it if I couldn't take my eyeshadow, brushes and eyeliner pencil out with me to touch it up.

What primer are you using?
I've been using it with Too Faced Shadow Insurance and its lasted 14hrs on me!

its a great collection. everything in it is gorgeous. i went to the pro store the day it came out. i was lucky cos i didnt see it online the night before and was worried it wasnt in sotres yet.
i only got black knight lipstick and blackware glimmerglass. i decided on black knight over midnight media because MM had burgundy/purple undertones and BK was pure black. so i thaught i could create a colour close to MM using cyber or other lip pencils with BK and i like the formula and packaging of BK abit better.
Blackware is beautiful. it does look scary in the tube and on the applicator but if you wear it on its own or with subculture pencil it deepens your natural lip colour and still looks quite natural.
the MES were gorgeous. the one that stood out to me most was Cinderfella. it looks like sharkskin shadestick covered in reflects pearl.
