What are you wearing today?

Did the guys have to wear pink too?

Pink ruffle skirt sounds cute! Somehow the eye makeup doesn't sound THAT complicated today.. Maybe because I know all the colours, so it is easier for me to visualise your look?

MrsMay, I am wearing green too! Lucky I don't work at the same place like Jenna!

My eyes turned out a lot stronger than expected, so I chose to have light pink lips instead, except they are not the light pink!! Grrrr..

sambibabe- Do you just apply the lip stuff one on top of another? I've always wanted to try more fun things on my lips

How do you guys all like MUFE stuff? I've heard a lot about it but have never actually tried it out.

Today was an easy day make-up wise, I had church early in the morning. I had this really cute navy blue-ish jacket today so I decided to go for a dark look & still trying to keep it casual for church

[sambibabe]

vivbabe10 - yes I do! Lip brush is my best friend

I tend to experiment more with the lip colours than anything, because I have pigmented lips and I don't like having strong eye colours.. I found my subtle pink just now - Politely pink lipstick and Fleur De Light lipglass! Thanks goodness for the Little Darlings lol. Hey, thanks so much for the pic of Dior palette! You see, I would love to wear that baby blue on the top left!

I am sure MrsMay will agree with this

MUFE is great! Their HD foundation feels so light while providing good coverage. I also tried their Star Powder (finer than MAC pigments), HD powder, eyeliner, concealer, primer and Eye seal. They are good, but not overly better than MAC IMHO. If you are interested in trying some of their stuff, you can find a link in MrsMay's previous post and there you can find a stockist in Adelaide. I just placed an order today and their pricing seems reasonable.

There are no guys working at my shop but if there were then yes they would have to wear or interperate pink in some way too >_< It was heaps of fun. My skirt was made up of layers of silk ruffles, it was knee length and really fluffy. I felt like a cupcake! I think we are getting them in at work in another week or two.

Today I wore a green look too. It was kinda similar to a look I did a few days ago actually. It came out really nice and I think it would be good for an autumn look.

I do like the MUFE foundation, however I feel that it doesnt give as matte a finish as what Im used to, but I think I need to try thier Mat Velvet foundtion instead

I have been using the HD powder with my studio tech foundation for the last couple of days and found that works really well as I only have a sample of the HD Foundation and I wanted to keep that for my work xmas party on Saturday

Definately love the HD powder though, I will be picking up a jar of this with my xmas money!

speaking of which... I told my mum last night that for xmas I wanted a gift voucher for the place that sells MUFE in Adelaide, and she said why dont I just give you cash? Then you can spend it on that and MAC?

LOL It sounds really pretty and girly though - I like it!!

I saw your Metal x swatch and all the colours look great on you! Especially Visionaire LLL. I love how all the colours POP against the darker skin.. They just don't do much on my skin!

MrsMay, your mum rocks!! I actually ordered stuff from that Adelaide place, so that I could get some samples for the Face and Body foundation samples hehe.. Can you just walk in and try their stuff?

I am getting the Dame Edna collection from hubby! He said he would pay for it!

The Adelaide shop isnt really a shop as such as it's an actual makeup academy. When I went there the other week there was an intercom downstairs and I had to get buzzed in to go upstairs to look at the stuff. But yes, essentially if you use the intercom and let them know you're after the MUFE stuff they let you in

Congrats on the Dame Edna stuff! I'm only going to be getting the Kanga-Rouge lipstick from that collection, and that's IF I like the colour. (and I will B2M for it lol)

 

[sambibabe]

If I ever get down to Adelaide, I will make sure I will check that place out. I will give them a call first though! It would be great to check out all those Diamond powders and Star powders in person.

Would you be getting anything from Monogram or Bondage Hello Kitty then?

BTW, if you ever needed anything from the PRO store, let me know. I have been going there every week last month (have no life), so I can CP pro stuff for you.

at bondage/HK!!! Not sure what I will be getting from either of those collections... monogram isnt catching me since I have seen the pics of the packaging and I'm not a huge HK fan, although I am addicted to dazzleglass so I may pick up those even though the prices are ridiculous!

The collection I am waiting for is Blonde Brunette Redhead

Thanks for your kind offer of a CP, I may take you up on that when I run out of room in my palettes

 

[sambibabe]

It was just a bit of shock for me to see HK that way, because I grew up with cute, pinky HK.

Oh yeah! Isn't the hair collection massive? I am sucker for the lip stuff and there will be 6 lipsticks and 6 lipglasses! Grr.. Mineralized skinfinish looks gorgeous too!

No problem. I was there on Sunday to pick up a palette and thought about you!

 

[sambibabe]

I have so many colours on my eyes today. I think I am converted and it is all you guys' fault!

I feel like I look like a porn star.. Could be the lipstick colour, but hubby doesn't think so and he is not excited about it, so maybe not. Does anyone have issues with Zoomlash?

 

[vivbabe10]

Sambibabe- I have no problems with Zoomlash whatsover! I love the small brush it comes with, and the formula just seems to make my lashes bigger without clumping it. Are you having any problems with it?

I also love your eye color combination today! I'm definitely thinking about trying the look this weekend. I definitely need to go out and buy me some more eyeshadows! lol, I thought I had enough but this post really make me want to buy all the eyeshadows to try you guys's looks haha.

Btw, I don't live in Australia lol. I was doing a search on the forums and found this thread. But thank you so much for the store suggestions you guys

How much do you guys pay in Australia for Mac products?

 

[sambibabe]

Where are you vivbabe10? It doesn't matter if you are in Australia or not

I just love reading about everyone's looks - it certainly gets me out of my little comfort zone and try new things everyday! Hey, you are using China Doll foundation, too! Do you like it?

I have been getting some black fall-outs on my face.. I don't think it is Blacktrack? I will just wear Zoomlash tomorrow to see if it is the culprit. If it is the case (lucky it is only a sample), I am so giving it to my mum and she can use it to touch up her grey hair! LOL. Dazzlelash is coming this week, yay!!

^^ Goody! Thanks for that!! Are your lips pigmented? You have both Mellow Mood and Lightly ripe, right? How are they different from each other? BTW, Cremesheen is up on website!

 

[MrsMay]

No, my lips arent really pigmented however I usually colour in my lips with my lipliner anyway to create a base for the lipstick/gloss.

Yep, I have both mellow mood and lightly ripe, I find that mellow mood is almost a mauvy brownish colour whereas lightly ripe is more of a sheer light red.

This swatch might help

 

[sambibabe]

Oh thanks MrsMay! I only grabbed Tempting quad eyeshadow from CoC collection and now I am thinking I should grab some lipsticks from MAC Aust website. I don't wear plummy dark lipsticks, but then I should prepare for the autumn right?

Do you have other lipsticks from CoC collection?
