Exactly. =)

I saw Fafi in real today at last and I love the colours, especially of the lipsticks and liglasses!
But I must say now that I am also not a big fan of the packaging. Could have made better!

[jolener]

i don't know if this has been asked or not, but does anyone think that the print on the clearly fafi bags would slowly scratch away? you cna't feel the print on the outside but you can feel it on the inside

Hey fellow 'Pegger!!

Yes, I was thinking this too, reminded me of bags I used to have years ago, once they started to eventually scratch they looked fugly. *shurg* maybe these are different in terms of longevity but thats one of the reasons I passed on one. I like the idea of seeing what I have, but I'd rather have a solid sleek either black or a coloured one.

I was considering going over the print with a couple of coats of clear nail polish and then prop the bag open to let it dry very good. Anybody think this might work?

[gigglegirl]

Hmmm I wonder if there could be an issue that the nailpolish could either dry looking streaky or would it get sticky later if it gets warm (lol that sounds weird, I know people wouldn't be just leaving stuff out to bake in the sun, but I know sometimes things get warm in my black purse if you're at an outdoor event in summer or something).

I've rarely done the clear nailpolish thing...I've not had good experiences with it.

helllo to you fellow 'pegger, haha

but yeah i think it does scratch off, cause i was just seeing how it'd look with stuff in it and i accidently scratched the bottom just a bit though you cna't really tell, but i still don't know if i should keep it =/

I'm returning perky paint pot. It was kind of dry for me, plus it was reeeeeeally light. You couldn't tell it was on my skin. I'll give paint pots another try in the future.

[noangel]

after all the raves for the collection (was especially interested in the blushes and IPP as they're my weakness) i was rather underwhelmed...
IP that i tested -sassed up had visible glitter bits on my face
the colour of the blushes didn't seem that unique somehow, although the texture was quite good.
left underwhelmed and bought from scupt and shape instead...

I just bought a back up Perky paint pot. I didn't find it as dry as some PP, but I can see how it might be too light for you. It's the perfect light peachy-pearl on me.

I bought another 129 SE powder/blush brush but I don't think I will use the cute pouch with the Fafi image that it comes with. I don't want it to scratch. I guess that means it will sit in my drawer and be useless.

I went back and bought Perky, Hipness and Stawbaby. I found Perky a lot creamier then Nice Vice but it still is kind of dry. I need a brush to apply it right, but since I have light skin its the perfect shade for me and may be one of my new every days LOL. I knew I wanted Hipness and Strawbaby and they didn't disappoint me at all this time. Strawbaby is beautiful but it comes off like 10 minutes after I put it on . Anyone know how to stop that?

It's a Lustre. That's what Lustres do.

[Chachababy]

I got the last Fun n Sexy at my counter! I also got both blushes. They are so pretty!

I put a little paint pot under it and it stayed a little longer... So I guess I'll just have to keep it with me LOL.

Try using Prep & Prime Lip under your lipsticks.

I use Prep & Prime, but I don't find it helps my Lustres to stay any longer. They're gone in minutes. I love them though.

[jolener]

I lined my fafi bag with a sheet of bounty, ahah. it looks weird, but it works, i'm still sad that i scratched a bit of it off the bottom, i think i'll keep it, it'll probably end up being displayed in my room somewhere

[redambition]

i did some serious recon on this collection today (it comes out sunday/monday over here)

i think i'm going to end up with the brush, one of the bags, the dolls and the scarf. maybe a BP.

it might be just me, but i just don't seem to need the colours in this collection.

[Julzie]

redambition: Do you know how much the scarf will be in Australia?

What about over a lip liner, subculture is nude and doesn't alter the colour of most lipstick. I usually line and fill my lips in with this before applying lustres and lipglasses.

i did a live chat a while ago and was informed that Paint Pots are not lipsafe.

I'm loving the FAFI collection. I love totally it! and my verveacious. I think I'm going to get the hipness blush, the color's so unique. Also, I'm in love with Strawbaby and sugar trance. The first quad is tempting too. I already have the second one. It's really sheer color though.

I love FAFI altogether, though. Last May in Vegas, I got the Adidas tracksuit of hers. I LOVE IT!

I would love to see what that track suit looks like, would you mind posting up pictures?

I got a giftcard as a very late Christmas gift so I went over to the countr to check out more items and discovered that crazily, Flowerplay l/s (Strange Hybrid) swatched exactly the same as Utterly Frivolous l/s (Fafi) on me even tho the former is much brighter. Also, the MA I talked to today was wearing Utterly Frivolous l/s with Squeeze It l/g and the combo looked like Strawbaby!

Someone else noted Squeeze It is very similar to Happenin' Gal l/g (BLM), so armed with Flowerplay and Happenin' Gal I can gladly strike 2-3 items off even the bottom of my wishlist!
