I went to the one in Rundle Mall, can't say I've ever been to the West Lakes one.

I've had some nice girls in there before, but today wasn't great. I feel bad saying that, she was still nice, just very fresh to be left alone in the store. She didn't even know where the matte collection was stored or the prices of any products and kept trying to push the palettes on me.

Ah, righteo.

Last time I was there the matte collection was on the left hand side of the store just after the brow products

Yeah, it's sad that I know that...

Heyy beautiess!!!
i'm backkk!!!

hows everyone goin?
i've decided that im not gonna do my holiday haul.. cause i kinda went a little too

for the month..

but to sum it up, i tried lots of MUFE products and fell in love with them, their HD products and aqualiners are brilliant!!
and i also changed my mind about lipglosses, and that kinda started my lipgloss collection

my msf collection is slowly starting to build up too

maybe i'll take a couple of photos of everything, so maybe if there are things that you girls want to know about, maybe i could help do a little review

my colour craft should've been here by now..

does anyone know what does this mean? (usps tracking site)

Nope, you dont need the black boxes, just the plastic or glass packaging like the eyeshadow cases etc.

I am loving the Colour Craft blushes to obsession! This is my first ever collection where I went to check things out, bought what I'd planned, then went back and got more! I haven't seen the non-trio MSFs yet so there may be some things I'd like from those, but I'm out of money so I can't do very much anyway.

I got Improvise and Fad-Dabulous on Monday from Paddington as well as some travel bottles, then went to DJ's to pick up Cheek and Cheerful and Hand Finish today. I'd grown obsessed with the latter two over the intervening day, they are such beautiful colours and wonderfully textured. I love how Hand Finish is a lovely warm pigmented pink, much nicer on me than Moon River. Cheek and Cheerful is a beautiful light peach-tan on my skin, so gorgeous.

Can you tell I'm in love? The price on these is much nicer than for the Duos earlier this year and seems to counter the overblown pricing that's been the trend of late.

 

[simplyenchantin]

Thanks for the awesome review, Vicky! I really liked all the blushes too, but conned myself into thinking I only need Fab-dabulous. I really liked Hand Finish but I have too many pink blushes, luckily Improvise only showed up on me as a sheen that any highlighter would give! Maybe I should try Cheek and Cheerful

How much were they?

 

[boudoirblonde]

I did a LOT of damage at the MAC counter yesterday
Made with Love l/s
Colour Crafted l/s
Triple Fusion MSF
Hand-Finish MB
Style Demon MB
Improvise MB
Daft Pink MB
131 brush

I was originally planning on getting Smooth Merge, but it was just too glittery and flakey, so I got an extra mineralise blush instead, which are gorgeous and smooth

 

[rockin26]

Colour Craft mini haul arrived today, I was well behaved and didn't get too much

Triple Fusion MSF
Eccentricity MES
# 226 Brush
E/S Palette

Hey anyone that has the 226 brush is the nickle different to your other brushes? Where the binding is it's almost flat and doesn't kink in at all?

Thanks Mich

 

[simplyenchantin]

You're welcome. I haven't had a look at my 226 yet.. ok I see what you mean! I've just had a look at all my brushes. My 226 has the flatness, so does my 266 angle brush, 213 fluff brush, 209 liner brush AND I have two 190 brushes, one has the bigger kink and one is more flat (that one actually has a longer handle.. weird!) I bought the flat one from a MAC store and the one with the bigger kinks from a reputable seller on specktra in the CB. I guess sometimes there are discrepancies in the manufacturing!

 

[rockin26]

226 is already sold out on the website

they should just make it perm it's obviously very popular.

 

[xLongLashesx]

Yay! Triple Fusion!

I'm loving mine now

$43 which I thought was very very reasonable, especially compared to the $40 for a normal blush. I don't have a lot/any pink blushes because I used to think they didn't suit me- buying something coral-y is usually a better bet (I'm a NC30 for reference), but Hand Finish just struck me the right way. If Improvise was a bit light for you then Cheek and Cheerful might be too; its not very dark on skin despite what it looks like in the pan.

 

[simplyenchantin]

That does sound great! I want some peachy blushes, MB might not be the way to go as they aren't very pigmented, at least I save some money. They look so pretty though! You should definitely be able to wear pink blushes!! I'm NC20 (or NW30 when I tan) and wear pink allllll the time <3

 

[MrsMay]

I'm really scared that I'm going to spend money when I go into MAC on Saturday... I have a feeling one of these blushes may come home with me...

I'm the queen of peachy blush (in shimmer textures; I don't much like matte blush, which explains my MB obsession!). I just played the 'get them all out and sort them' game; my recommendations to you are: Cantaloupe (Pro) for a matte light orange-peach, Fleur Power for bright, Peachykeen for deep, Springsheen and Style for light pinky corals. A warning about Style- its a lovely colour but mine's caked over. Sunbasque might be worth a look too, its a deep peach-brown that I often use as a bronzer. I had more that run true peach/light orange, but they're all LE; I believe some of the unexplored mattes may also yield some nice peaches.

What are your favourite/recommended pink blushes?

And MrsMay, they are lovely.
