I love them! I'm going to use the one on the right first. I haven't swatched it yet, still staring at it lol eyelove.gif I just hope the Marilyn beauty powder is different! I was going to wait until October for that, but I saw Temptalia's swatches of Light Year, caved and ordered them!

 

 

 

Last year I went visit my brother who lives in Baltimore, MD and I took a makeup bag with me filled with my essentials and a couple of eyeshadows. Just enough to get by in high humidity! He said I have wayyyyyyy too much makeup. Based on a small bag of stuff I brought for a week vacation lol. He don't even know the half of it! girlhaha.gif

 

LOL Your brother has no idea. girlhaha.gif

Yes, Christine's review and swatches got me, too! I was looking for a light peachy pink MSF. Surprisingly, I didn't have any MSF quite like it. I only have Porcelain Pink, By Candlelight, Perfect Topping, Refined, Stereo Rose, and Lightscapade. I think. Haha. When I saw Light Year on her site, I went eyelove.gif. I ordered mine right after I saw her swatches. I don't wear MSF very often (hence small MSF collection), but Light Year might change that. heart2.gif

I didnt like Star Wonder too much in the store, but fell in love with Lightyear! 

 

Solar ray was tempting, but not enough! 

 

Light Year is great, isn't it?

Was Star Wonder darker than Light Year? You didn't like its undertone? Sorry it didn't work for you. Enjoy your goodies!  cheerleader.gif

I knowww lol, and I've only amassed more since that point in time. haha! 

Light Year is just the perfect amount of peach and lightness! I looove the look of Star Wonder in the pan - it's the most gorgeous MSF because of its complex colors, but I think for my skin tone Light Year's the winner for me. I had Porcelain Pink, Blonde, and Lightscapade before HC and now Earthshine, Light Year and Center of the Universe are in my collection. I so sooo wish I had Perfect Topping, that's another one that looks absolutely yummy in the pan! I'm really loving Center of the Universe, though, too! It's definitely my fav to pair with my coral blushes. Earthshine was a fun experiment in contouring, but I'm still trying to find the right technique to apply it! I think it might get a little more use in the Fall when I get back into my plummy lips!

That sounds gorgeous peachsuns!

I am happy to hear that you like it so much and it is great that you will get a BU of LY!

Good thing was I ordered two Light Year. MAC sent me one yesterday. I wore it this morning, and I loved it! It showed up as peachy pink with gold shimmer. Pretty! It works as blush for me. I think many people will love this shade either as blush or highlight. cheerleader.gif

 

OMG, gracie! thud.gifI'm glad you got the correct item later!

 

 

Just when I had start th_drool.gif over Star Wonder, you said this. You may save me again! I have Crew, too! What should I do?  What should I do? Thanks duckrodeo!

post #4207 of 7900

My haul! You can tell I already tried on the lipsticks lol. I love how Astral looks in this pic! I like the way my swirl looks in sky :)

2012-06-27_19-54-42_110.jpg

 

I wanted to show you this combo I used today! I snapped this right before work. Its Fire Sign with Now in Season lipgelee. I love how it turned out, I love FS so much! It's def a red I can wear without feeling self-concious. And it pulls either red or pink with different lippies on top! I'm excited to do some combos with Venus! It's like a pinker gem of roses on me

2012-06-29_15-16-46_827.jpg

Here's a closer pic in different lighting, sorry about the large pores on my cheeks :(...this lighting gave my face a weird color. And a tan seems to emphasize my pores n freckles.2012-06-29_15-14-58_197.jpg

 

And heres a swatch of my Sky...

2012-06-28_14-43-45_344.jpg

post #4208 of 7900
Loving all the photos of the swirls!!
I think my final list will be
Star wonder msf
Light year msf
Universal appeal mes
Neo nebula mes
Sky mes - this is an unusual colour for me to go for but if I can get one that swatches teal like some of the photos I have seen then I will get it). Any tips on veining to achieve this?
Cut a caper (b2m)

I will be 32 in August too! I am also expecting my third baby then too! I am looking forward to getting the new pro palettes as part of my up and coming birthday haul!
Liesierre-what serums and masks do you use? I am loving serums at the mo esp clarins hydraquench serum

The dark blue in sky is pretty intense and opaque. You will definitely need 1 with more of the lighter blue.
And congrats on your third little one coming in August! bouquet.gif

Lovely swirls these colours will look so pretty on you :-)
post #4212 of 7900

Congrats on the impending arrival of your third baby. How exciting! :) I have 3 myself, although my youngest "baby" has just turned 6. And my oldest "baby" is having her 11th birthday party today (she'll be 11 on Friday). Eek!

You're so sweet! Thanks doll! Mufe hd foundation works wonders. I just can't seem to get past the redness n pores on my cheeks. That's why I'm not to sure about using these msfs. Cause off the pigmentation I'd prob layer them with blushes and I'm afraid it will show my pores even more. I'm happy to show you pics. I didn't see much of sky on here, its such a pretty blue!
post #4214 of 7900

It really is....for me this one is quite unique because I do not a similar shade (as a MES) in my collection yet.I can not wait to get mine!

 

And the color payoff seems to be very nice as well.

Yeah normally I gravitate towards the purples, plums and pinks with a few neutrals thrown in for good measure but sky just seems so unique- it looks different and multi faceted in all the swatches I have seen. I have green eye tho so I don't know if it would suit me
post #4216 of 7900

Exactly!!!

Depending on the swirls and the light it can look more light blue,dark blue or even a little turquoise heart.gif

Oh, & a 52 yr old wild child lol.gif my sign is Scorpio, I'm 5'5, I've been married to the same wonderful man for 33 years that is my biggest MU enabler....I love being interrogated girlhaha.gif

 

Fire Sign on me is a slight pinked deeper red, but being a lustre (which I LOVE lustres) its not overly color saturated on the lips making it very very wearable.

 

Well, I have a few Chanel reds that I LOVE. But as far as Mac, I love Port Red a lot, Eden Rouge, VG Cyndi, Russian Red, LOVE Ruffian Red & I know there was one from a past Hey Sailor which I am drawing a blank on.

I also found that the frost really didn't transfer onto my eyelid for any significant period of time. I like Big T more, and this will probably be going back.

In the midst of getting ready for the evening I had to run an errand so I'm not dressed but my face is mostly done here. 

Natural sunlight, colors are true

Thank you SO much for saying that! I was all set to go get Sky, but I have pompous blue, which I am in LOVE with!! I also have a bu of it! Yay! You talked me out of it! This look is gorgeous on you!!

Is it crazy that not only I want to order every single one of the mineralize products in this collection, I'm also considering geting backups for the MSFs? They are so pretty. ♥ I'm thinking I'll order them from Debenhams (provided they have the collection up first) and then go and handpick my back ups, so I have two different ones of eash MSF. Crazy, right?

Nope! girlhaha.gif

I'm selling a bunch of stuff on eBay at the moment, and if it all sells then you bet I'm getting all the mineralise items! I've been trying to narrow down my list but I love EVERYTHING so it's damn near impossible!

Plus, think of all the Debenhams points love.gif (I have £30 worth to spend wooooooo)

post #4221 of 7900

Oh my, just had a chance to get a first real glimpse of the products... I must not get weak and buy more than one thing, but it really IS hard to resist those swirls wondering.gif

post #4222 of 7900

Is everybody (in the US) done with HC? Who's going to check out the collection in store on Thursday? :-)

Yes they are. Which is quite nice, because I don't have college on Saturdays and I can be there when they open:) Of course once I graduate I'm going to make sure I won't have to work on saturdays as well amuse.gif

Hahaha

post #4227 of 7900

Not at all IMO!

Especially the mineralize products can be soooo different depending on the veins/swirls/or whatever that you can get completely

different ones with the same name!

I have BUs (if you can call them BUs because of their difference...) of several MSFs,MBs and MES and they are all totally worth it!!!

Wonder if its costly to make, or they just want to keep it a special item for collections
I have used cliniques 7 day scrub since i was a teen an this could be its replacement for sure if its permanent

 

I liked the VAE too; but I don't really skin products that have a strong smell. But if you like it.. I get the same results with Lush' Dark Angel. I love it so much it was sold out at all of the malls nearby AND the US site. I ordered it from the UK site. I believe it was actually cheaper than getting it here after tax and what not!
