I dunno.....I just started my collection so I'm trying not get too excited about each collection that comes up! I went over board with the mineralized ones though! Since i was starting up I thought great! four or two colours in the one pot......then I actually started using them!! too much fallout and i think a lot gets wasted!
I have decided to save up my moolah for the brushes and start using NYX as an alternative...Are they really as good as MAC? i guess when I don't know what colours suit me etc I thought might be a cheaper experiment!
Do you guys know if there will be another F&F sale? As I would really like one of these!

I bought the gold and purple MES plus the grease paint stick! STRAIGHT UP LOOOOVEEEEE.
Not a fan of the lippies so I'm passed on that. SOooo not feeling it. I'm also a nude/light lip color.
I'll have to post my FOTD w/ the gold MES! Such a fun smokey look.
This is the first purchase I've bought in months from collections! The glitter in person is to die foooorrrrrrrrrrrr.

^ Haaa haaa that's awesome! Great minds think alike!
And I completely agree the gold MES is just jaw-dropping plus it really makes brown eyes pop!!!!!

Since this is a thread for Indian women like myself, I was wondering if I could quickly ask you NC40/42 girls what your favourite bronzers and foundations are. I really like the idea of bronzer - it looks amazing on Asian women - but everything I try is either too brown or too red
. Oh and the foundation question just because I'm always on the hunt for a good shade for my NC40/2 skin!

I dont like Nars Laguna that much because it can end up looking muddy on my skintone at times. I would suggest Mac bronzers like Solar Riche or Refined Golden (I use this one).
In terms of foundations...I dont like Mac Studio Fix liquid foundation as much because it's pretty thick and if I do use it, I would use a small amount mixed with a moisturizer....I normally just use Mac Select Spf liquid foundation and its medium coverage so it makes it buildable.
I would also recommend...
Mac Studio Sculpt Foundation (cream)
Makeup Forever HD foundation (liquid)
Makeup Forever Matte Velvet foundation (liquid)

Hi ambodidi, I am NC40ish and use Arena all over the lid and really like it. It hides the shadows and brightens up the eye. I also like Blaze by UDPP.
Ladies I need your help, looking for a pinky lipstick that is not blue based and purply looking. I have Hug Me, VGVI SE, VG5, Midimauve, and a bunch of others I can't think of. I went to Mac today and the MUA was no help whatsoever.
Also, I will be going to England for a couple of weeks and wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions for items to look for that are not available in Canada. Is there any must haves from the English drug stores? We have Gosh in Canada.
Let me know ladies, appreciate the replies.

Thanks Dirty Plum for the quick response and the recommendations, I will definitely check those lipsticks out.
I know we are spoilt over here with selection but sometimes you never know you might find a must have item that is not available over here, I plan on checking out Barry M since we don't have it here! Another excuse to shop!
Ladies, today I went to Sephora and believe me I could spend hours in that store so addicting and dangerous for the pocketbook!! I found a really good foundation by Nars, its the Sheer Glow and I got matched to Barcelona. I'm not positive on the color yet so will check it out before I buy it, I think its around 50.00 dollars. A friend works there and told me to go home and take some pictures of myself and check out the makeup at home as the lighting at the store can sometimes be deceiving. I do really like it and will buying it. Has anyone tried it and what do you think of it. I also tried the MUFE HD and it was a bit too cakey on me. Let me know what you guys think!
