Let us know what you end up with!

Yeah! I just went to the site & it's so weird, but they do have all the shades i think!There were def more then 6-7 at least 10! So i'm guessing they carry all. But i totally know what you mean! Esp when you need it urgently & don't wanna order it from the US!

I just bought two different colours today (NC35 and NC40) to wear for my graduation on Saturday and my engagement on Sunday. I'm getting a spray tan on Friday night so I thought I should get my summer shades to match the tan but now I'm worried they are going to photograph white.... The MA assured me that they have been tested for photography and dont photograph white... but im still scared

OOH okays I'll check Napoleon out too! I should just hop from one makeup counter to another

Hmmm, Carina I don't know but i've always used SPF skincare but never photograph white before! Maybe because of our skin tone we just don't? You will be fine! Trust the MA

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

Bibi, I'd trust you before I trust the MA!!!!! Seriously!

And you are not an idiot! Thats the whole reason I love you girls and this site in general.. The MA's are just there to sell the product. You girls are here to test it and tell the TRUTH!

I was worried about the SPF before but I was hoping that if I got a colour a fraction darker than I needed it wouldnt be too much of an issue.

I guess I'll wear it for my graduation on Saturday and then look at the photos and if I look white, I'll wear my MUFE HD instead for the engagement and then just blot and powder like a mad woman... lol ....

AGREEEEEEEEE!

Yes! You get to have a test run! yays

Is the MUFE HD foundation as good as everyone deems it to be?

 

[sambibabe]

Haha.. By the time you put powder and contour your face, I don't think you will photograph white Carina!

Eliza, HD foundation photographs well!

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

^^ lol and put on the 20 kilos of blush that I wear! Bahahaha

but i'll check out Myers tomorrow!

 

[simplyenchantin]

I agree with Carina that most MA's will say whatever they want to sell a product. I have no idea about *other* ingredients, I just know from my own use that SPF makes me look ghostly in photos. Maybe they have something in it to counteract it now??

Either way Carina, don't worry!! You'll look great

like Nat said, after all the powder and the blotting, it'll probably mask the SPF bahahaha.

You can buy samples from Media makeup? I would wait till you move to Singapore anyway and get colourmatched at the store.

 

[rockin26]

Wait til you see the mega haul I got yesterday!!!!! A whole......

Too Faced Shadow Insurance x 1

I'm feeling quite underwhelmed to be honest.

Ohh but I came within a bees dick of buying Fold & Tuck l/g from the Pret a Papier stand, it's soooo hot!!

Bloody spending ban!!!!

I am planning to be colourmatched at the Vancouver MUFE store as well

Haha Robyn.. Never mind about makeups! You are getting zoom zoom zoom soon

 

[rockin26]

^^ This is true, 4 weeks to go!!

 

[vintageroses]

OKAYS MAJOR RANT AHEAD!
Foundation quest has FAILED

I went to Dior, Chanel, Clinque & just got way too tired to try after that

like what spectrolite said, counters here don't carry the full range!

& they either have a colour a tad too light or too dark. They don't have any inbetween colours! sighh! I loved the glowy look of one of the clinque foundation, the MUA was super sweet trying to make it work for me! But it still looked too light

Oh wells, I'll pop by MAC & Bobbi Brown tomorrow, at least I knw they will have something for my skin colour.OKAYS END OF RANT! haha

 

[spectrolite]

^That really is a shame. This is part of the reason I love Mac so much. They really do live up to their motto All Ages, Races, Sexes. I'm always able to find a foundation that matches my skin tone or at least one that comes close. If I were you I'd go to the pro store and get a good sized sample of Face and Body. You might even get enough so that you can wear it on the day hehehe. Also maybe try Becca, they are meant to have a great colour range

^I'm thinking of going on a spending ban.... Those are words I didn't think I would ever even consider but it's just gotten so out of control. I want to save to go on a trip to Japan and other things... but I just keep spending and spending. I've got orders from 3 different places coming to me soon and after that I am going to get the Alice and Olivia collection and hopefully be done with the crazy hauling for a long, long while. Gotta be strong, but I am weak and easily distracted/tempted by pretty things

!!

 

[vintageroses]

^^ AGREEEEEEEEEED!

MAC all the way! hahas. Okays I will! Thank you so much hun!

HAHA I know what you mean! I'm trying to keep my hands off buying stuff! I'm not even working, spending my Uni books money on makeup. naughty me

Thank goodness i'm on gloss out 2010, it has saved me alot of money! If i was not on it, i think would have bought about 3-4 lippies/glosses in the last month or so! haha Chanel was calling my name

 

[rockin26]

Spending bans suck but they serve a good purpose. I have a money box I've been stashing cash in for months in the lead up to F & F, that will be my only haul until I go to Vietnam in March booooooo............

 

[simplyenchantin]

I should go on a spending ban just to see how much I could save.. but I don't like harsh restrictions so I just wouldn't cope with a no make up diet. Maybe I can cope with a "dont buy it unless you really need it" diet though

, I should try that hahaha.

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

^^ Thats pretty much what I'm on - "Dont buy it unless I need it"... BUT I NEEEEEEEEED EVERYTHING!!! lol lol lol Thus why I have failed big time with my project 10 pan... I dont even think I finished one product before I bought some new stuff!! Bahahahahahahah

However, I did save enough money in the last few months that I am now able to put money towards my engagement party, annnddddd I bought my own engagement cake, shoes, paid for my hair cut/colour and other bits and pieces

And nowwwww to the hauling:

Instant Chic Blush
Garb Blush
Fold & Tuck l/g

Nice haul Carina!!

Talking about foundation.. I hate how my skin changes so much as the season changes. I am taking a break from Mineralized foundation and back to F&B! Grr.. lucky I have 11 different foundations stand-by

 

[aussiemacluvrrr]

thanks Nat!

lol 11 different ones??!

Oh, I wish I hadnt just looked at ACW.. they have a whole stack of MAC eyeshadows that I have been lemming for ages for 12.99 each! damn!
