Well,
I tried out the Marine Life Powder this morning and I swear - this one is a keeper!
I love blushes and highlighters and I love layering so I decided to do something a little different this morning.
I started with my beloved Gold Deposit MSF as an all over highlighter, Blunt as a contour, Format blush on cheeks, a touch of Intenso Mineralized Blush (both colors swirled together) on top of Format w/109 brush and the Marine Life on top of that with the 109. LOVING IT!
I don't want to say it but Marine Life (to me) is amazing!!

I have on Thrills lippie w/Mahogany liner and Easy Lounger gloss and I swear I DON'T WANT TO TAKE IT OFF TO EAT LUNCH!
OMG: This combo is da bomb!!!
I'm loving this release!
No more MAC for me until Stereo Rose MSF's.
I'm done! Don't even show me any more releases but ... I did see on Temptalia the spectacular heads up about the Disney collection for Fall - oh no, my poor wallet!

What is the best way to use the 131 brush?
I have it from last summer and have hardly used it.

i love the 130 too!

i used it for select sheer powder, msf and blushes. i heard it was a good foundation brush as well. no streaks like the 187. you know, it kind of reminds me of the 190 brush, but puffier. it is tapered at the top so its good for getting close to the nose and under the eyes.
its great for blush too. i was looking into getting the 116, but opted for this instead. still want the 116, but later.

They are bronzers for fair-skinned girls, but they are more glow/highlight/summer sheen products, and Weeekend works as a blush/highlight mainly, because on darker skin it has a "pink bronze" tone to it. Des[ite how dark it looks compared to beach bronze, it is not dark enough for bronzing, and it is the wrong shade for contouring. I bought Beach Bronze for myself as the highligher for the girl who hates MSFs and their chunky glitter. In fact, I can't stand powder highlight products, so this was a beautiful, fine, smooth, refined highlighter for me. I put it on my collarbone on Saturday evening too for a nice subtle sheen. I think that Weekend was nice too....just BB looked way prettier. I was concerned that Weekend would actually look muddy on me if I didn't get the application right (because it's not dark enough to be a bronzer, but the potential for muddiness when it is built up put me off). Plus I have a few similar highlight colours and blushes, so Weekend wasnt that unique in the end. Beach Bronze is sheerer, but the glow is so pretty. It's what I wanted every highlight product to look like on me...subtle, sexy, glow-y....barely there and so refined it looks like it's coming from within....when the sun hits on it....I just love it! |

I went to the party and I bought:
-Marine Life highlight powder
-Get Away Bronze blush
-Sun Rush lustre drops
-Sweet & Punchy eyeshadow
-Firecracker eyeshadow
-Thrills lipstick
-Funbathing lipstick
-Flurry of Fun lipglass
-Weekend Bronze creme bronzer
-Beach Bronze creme bronzer
-Golden Refined Bronzer
-#239 brush
-#217 brush
I wish I had bought 2 Marine Life powders. I will try to get another. It is pretty bright but I used the stippling method with the 187 to apply this and it looked great and lasted from morning until night. I love everything but I'm not sure I can make the creme bronzers work. I tried Weekend with the #130 brush and I really couldn't get much on. I tried it later with just fingers and it did show up on skin but I haven't worn it for a full day yet to see how it wears. I haven't tried the hand method yet with the Beach Bronze yet. I already have a #131 brush but I may have to buy another one. Great collection! Thrills is fantastic!

^^ OMG i'm so jealous babee! I still have to wait for my CP to reach me in aussie!
I decided to skip lustre drops since i have both high beam & moon beam, don't think i need another highlighter
& all my makeup is for me, myself & i. Unlike some of you who are makeup artist!
At the rate i'm buying I could never finish everything!

LOL I knew I would get a lot. I love corals and bronzes and such. I usually buy a lot from the summer collections. I just wasn't sure about the eyeshadow colors but I'm really loving the 2 I bought and I starting to get curious about the others.

i really hope funbathing works on my skin. NC50/nw45-47. i am looking for something like that in the summer. right now, i am thinking of hauling
flurry of fun: really reminds me of nice to be nice from HK.
fun bathing: if it works out for me, it can't be too light
firecracker: looks like a darker coral in some swatches, that sounds good. thinking i can use it on my cheeks as well.
sweet and punchy: definitely going to try this on the lids, I don't want anything too bright. i love that its a veluxe pearl. so i may get it to have it for my stash. i am sure i can tone it down a bit with something in my palette
i would love the get away blush but i am concerned this is going to look like a bronzer and not a blush on my skin. can't wait to see on thurs. hoping i get to swatch it on tuesday.

For ladies who don't go to the other thread about TTB, I went to the pro store Saturday and got: Marine Life x's 2, Flurry of Fun, Thrills, FunBathing, and Sun Rush. I love them all. Everyone must at least, look at Flurry of Fun. It has gorgeous teal shimmer in it. Just awesome. Marine Life is gorgeous and lives up to the hype. Thrills isn't usually a color I'd go for, but a lot of women will love it. It will come in handy for me. FB is very, very pretty, but it's not a summery shade to me. Sun Rush impressed me a lot more than it did when it came out with Style Warriors, don't know why.
I will be getting a backup of FoF lipglass and I'm getting BeachBound lipstick to go with FoF. The other items were losers to me, except Pink Rebel, which I may get at some point.
The lip pencils are not to my liking and neither are the eyeliners. The shadows are underwhelming. I already have Nars Rated R duo, so Sweet and Punchy is useless to me. Hipness is chalky and pales in comparison to Marine Life, the bronze colored blush is not unique at all.
Sorry, to all who love the bronzers, but they are a fail. The cream ones: the lighter one would take a lot of layering to make a difference and the darker one is disgusting! It's so RED. I don't know who it will work for. You will look like you got a sunburn.
