Yep, I picked this up at the staff shop... its OK. Not a must have and you can use any other bronzer like Refined Golden in its place.

VV is a must have! Stunning and beautiful on any skintone. As is Rebel - that really turns heads

Satellite dreams, fig1, coppering i have in pot form as well and i love each and every single one!! Will definately look into Shale, bitter, CY and Naked lunch

If i have print do i need typographic or graphology??

You know how to feed ones addiction

I didn't have a free standing store when i started buying MAC and that's why i have a lot of eyeshadows in pots.

Awesome recommendations!! I hope that your enjoying your time off! I know i am

holy camoly! thanks for the reccs DP! So happy to see you guys on here again
Ramadan Kareem

I guess my lame effort this month is to not wear as flashy makeup..I'm trying to keep it natural looking...I just hate how things like mascara and foundation are difficult to wear if you are going to keep your wudhu? any ideas for that ladies?

I was soooo sad I did not pick up Enough Said and Stark Naked! I think they have them at my CCO but I still havent gotten my passport yet

I will try Refined Golden but any reccs for SN? TIA!

PS Desi skintone? Try sweet as cocoa! soo pretty

Ramadan Kareem pretty lady!

When i need to do wudhu and i have make up on i just pat my face lightly with water. I know it may mess with the foundation a bit but i get a tissue and dry my face lightly and then i just blot it with powder.

I didn't pick up enough said because it looked like an ordinary peach blush to me and i would have to layer it on to make it show up on my nc43 self so i passed it. However, i did get stark naked and i've only used it once because i'm too scared of running out!!!! It is gorgeous! If you can get it on Ebay then do it!

I want a few blushes from the perm collection but i already have too much!!

No, dont worry too much about wedge then - its just a nice one to help blend a daker colour out (i.e. smokey eyes).
You may want graphology but again, depends on how much you use dark matte colours.

I have a shopping problem, so can talk anyone into our out of buying something!

I hate to say it, SN is a pretty unique colour that doesnt dupe well. Try to get hold of it. I think RG might be a touch orangier than ES so maybe try Gingerly as a dupe. Its nothing spesh.

Thank u Nunu for the makeup wudhu tips!

Sounds like a must-try combo!
Isnt Kinda sexy, super sexy??? Its one of my fave lippies and I use it a lot! and of course, bestseller Spice is brilliant. One of those hero-type products that works on anyone and everyone. It can turn a dodgy lipstick into something special.

Soar or Pink Treat can also work with Pink Nouveau. Dervish is a must have too but if you have beigy/brown pigmented lips like me, you may have to work it harder for it to show up well. BB also do good lipliners... I picked up Sandwash Tulle and it works as a good pink lipliner (soft, light pink).

Don't forgot Illamasqua...

Btw... what do you recommend from Chanel?
and apart from mascaras... Dior??
BB is mostly meh for me, only feeling the lipliners. thats lame. no actually, its a good thing. I dont need anymore makeup!!!!

...but Pixiwoo on YT have been tempting me with Jemma Kidd. I hope it really disappoints me.

Thanks for recommending the other lip liners! I'll check them out too

I love the quads and the 2-3 eyeshadow palettes that both come out from Dior and Chanel. I never bought any because i can easily dupe them from my MAC stash. Have you seen the Chanel smokey eye palette that came out last year? it was divine!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...lSmokyEyes.jpg

Also this Dior palette that Troy Jonson used on Kim K is gorgeous..i looked at it today when i was in Sephora but i coulcn't justify buying it when i have a palette full of Neutrals.

TROY JENSEN: Sizzling Summer Chic on Kim Kardashian

From Dior i also love their lipglosses! They have a creamy smooth texture.

BB: I love their shimmer bricks. I only own one but whenever i pass by their counter i always look at their shimmer bricks displayer..gorgeousness.

I've watched a video by pixiwoo yesterday and loved all the Jemma Kidd stuff that Sam used!! So yes, another dangerous brand!!
They also keep raving on the Chanel Matt Lumier foundation..they make me want to try it out.

I saw that Dior clutch yesterday at Sephora! It's gorgeous!! The texture of the eyeshadows was nice and the finish looks like a velux pearl.

I will check out that Nars eyeshadow!! Also the Chanel line. You have made me walk into the NARS department and now Chanel and Shu! My this is one expensive habit!

I am so excited about Cargo. I noticed arlier on today that Boots (chemist in UK) sells Cargo online only. I keep hearing about their bronzers and blushers so will look it up.

I need a Dior palette.

I bought a couple of BB shimmerbricks but found the texture a bit coarse and chalky on asian skintones - so sold them. I find the newer MAC msfs a lot better but Nars wins hands down with its blusher formula (albastross won me another compliment today

)

I tried Chanels foundation but dont think they are yellow enough and their mascara was a let down. I'll keep going back to them for their fragrances however.

I have a couple of Shu lipsticks and like their colour range but cant buy any other lipsticks cos MAC has spoiled me. Same for the glosses - pretty but not long lasting. Lashes and brushes - definitely!

Who am I tryna convince - you or me?

But two brands out of four is oohhhkkaaaaay... I guess.

 

[nunu]

Dirty Plum, i read somewhere that you want to try out the NYX Walnut pigment, i found this in the NYX Dupes for MAC. It's close to MAC's Twinks.
