She actually said my skin is good and reccomends that I wear Face and Body in C2! And yeah Dea, they will happily give you samples. I learnt heaps today, apparently due to my kind of dry skin I shouldn't really use SFF, nor Blot Powder coz they contain silica and pull the oils out of your skin. Kira gave me a sample of their strobe cream and the face & body foundation so I can try it on myself. She did a HK look on me and I tried BigBow on and it looked great!! Face: Strobe Cream Face and Body foundation Select Moisturecover concealear Fix + Some sort of white loose powder? Fun and Games blush Tahitian Sand BP Moon River blush Eyes: Soft Ochre p/p Creme Royale Paradisco Lucky Tom Romping Stylin' Blacktrack f/l Prolash mascara Lips: Big Bow l/s Mimmy l/g Forget the lipliner

WAAAAAAAA.... this seriously just made myy day...

i want to call the PRO store like NOW to book a makeover with Kira... did you actually go for a makeover or just having a chat and playing around, michelle? kira sounds AMAZING.. go Chapel Street!!

and that's a bummer... i've been using SFF and blot powder too... and i have dry skin.. gotta go and seek help from Kira ASAP.. :grin:

how do you like the strobe cream and the face and body then??

 

[sambibabe]

I am oily and Strobe cream doesn't work for me!

I love mixing tinted moisturizer and Storbe liquid though, which gives me a nice glowy base, while covering all the imperfections.

Woke up this morning and hubby said I couldn't go to work today, because a Telstra guy was coming to connect the phone. I had no problem with that! Even though I was unpacking stuff, I still did my eyes with HK Lucky Tom. Damn apartment is full of mirrors and I would hate to look at myself without makeup lol.

 

[myystiqueen]

i never actually tried mac skincare range... a total virgin.. well, except for Fix+ which doesn't really count..

and hahaha... i know how it feels nat...

 

[jrm]

I really want to try out some of the MUFE HD products but I'm reluctant to shell out over $100 for something untried. I should be a #115, but it still makes me cautious. I wish I could find the time to go into town to try it out in person ...

 

[myystiqueen]

^^ lucky you... you have mediamakeup there over adelaide... >.<

I get that everyday. Maybe my eyes (or eye sights) are uneven.
Nice FOTD annegal!

 

[simplyenchantin]

That is hot, Anne! Good on you

Dea: I liked it but I'm still unsure about F&B coz I LOVE full coverage.. coz I'm self conscious. I'm sure I will come around eventually, Kira is probably right and wouldn't lie to me about not needing such a heavy foundation hehe. I'll use it tomorrow and let you know

I didn't officially book in, last week after the VIP night I went in to get some sponges and some of those dropper-type bottles and was just talking to her about the VIP night and how I wasn't sure about my BP and that I didn't really get to try the lipsticks on.. (I whinge a lot LOL). Anyway, she was totally like "come in one day next week and I will try ALL the HK stuff you want with you and you can exchange whatever you want" etc etc and she taught me how to do my eyeliner so I get a flick coz I'm really unco etc (she drew a face chart for me with instructions so I could try myself at home), so I went in yesterday and she did everything she promised to help me with and more (apparently I will be an eyeliner flick-er pro in no time LOL). I left totally impressed and completely pleased! I'm happy to reccomend her to anyone, she was honest and really nice to talk to even about non-make up stuff and she is just so happy to help! She made me feel really happy about doing make up haha

So yes, go see her!!

(sorry for the long post everyone!)

I totally agree.. That's why I keep going back to my favorite MUAs over and over. I also like spreading myself out to a few different MUAs though, because they offer different ideas.

Hey Mich thanks for the rec on Kira, I'll be making some time to see her one on one to help me pick out my foundation for my kit. A couple of the girls from school bought the Face and Body Foundation on Sunday and are going to get back to me with what they thought of them. I tested some and it seemed very watery but the MUA's rec'd it for pro use, very buildable but I don't know how it would go on oily skin? For me, I'm holding out buying my kit foundation until Studio Sculpt comes out and I give it a good practice run

Oh and another great look catsmeow! Lovin the green.

No makeup yet today, I'm not at work today cos my car was making a weird noise, so I took it to my mechanic this morning and it's going to cost $1000 just in parts to fix!!!

Think of all the MAC I could have bought with that, oh wait I'm in Australia it'd only be like 9 things?!

 

[sambibabe]

Shit, I just felt the earthquake for the first time in my life *shaken*

wow... kira sounds AMAZING, michelle!! i don't think she'll be there if i just pop in without any appointment... but if i arrange a makeover with her, then samples are pretty much useless since i have to spend $90 on the day..

are you going for the makeover or the makeup lesson one, robyn??

i heard studio sculpt is not the best foundation mac has to offer since you can actually feel the foundation on your skin... this is where the role of samples is important...

hahaha... you're going to get at least 20 things with that $..
but it always comes across my mind whenever i spend more money on something else other than MU.. "if i didn't spend $70 on this skirt, i would probably be able to get myy hands on one blush and one lipglass"

 

[simplyenchantin]

Haha Dea re blush and lipglass

Pop in during the week, she doesn't work Sunday or Monday from what I gathered.
