I've finished Beige-Ing shadestick, and it felt soooooooooo good! I was not sad as I have backups. I haven't finished any makeup items except Beige-Ing, but I'm working on it. I want to feel accomplished.

Am I over-worrying?

It's our money, our free time and our interest! My brother collects mostly baseball, but sports memorabilia in general, and he always has to give his two cents on how much makeup I own (even though he hasn't seen all of it!), and how many clothes I buy, etc etc. Basically he asks: "Why do you spend your money on that?" umm, because it's my money and not yours! He buys stuff that just sits in a display case, or goes into a binder or storage, but he has it and he loves it, so who am I to judge? To me, it's frivolous that he spends money on getting a baseball with a pen signature on it, but to him: it's what he loves to do and spend his money on! So, even though people may feel the need to interject their opinion, take it with a grain of salt and keep doing your thang! 

Thank you! I love my swirls! hhee! and yesss 4 Meteorics lol. There's really not much product in a cremesheen so I tend to use them up very quick! Much faster than a lipstick or regular lipglass. I've finished one Narcissus (Daphne Guinness) cremesheen and got BUs of that one, too. I don't buy cremesheens too often because I'm not 100% committed to the formula (I prefer the sticky-tacky feeling of a lipglass, they're much easier to tell when it's time to reapply!), however if the color is unique I will buy it and also get a BU. Meteoric is great with coral lipsticks and even just fabulous on its own, so I had to buy it plus BUs 

 

I didn't get any backups of blushes, since a little goes a very long way! Especially with Supernova. I've only swatched it on my arm so far, but daaang does it pack a punch! I'll try to wear it sometime this week to get a feel of how to work with it! I'm sure our PRO-specktrettes can confirm, but I think the MAC fan brush is a limited edition brush that popped up when Tres Cheek came out - so I'm not sure of its likelihood of being restocked, but again our PRO members can definitely confirm one way or another!

 

I use a regular contour blush brush for my MBs and it's definitely workable. I just dab the brush on the product - no swiping or swirling of the brush, and then I apply it with a very light-hand on my cheeks. If I need to add more, I do the same technique, but I find it reduces packing on too much product, as well as wasting product by having the blush pieces getting kicked up and hanging out on the rim of the pot. 

 

Light Year and Solar Ray looked almost identical on me, too, except Solar Ray had more of a golden-peachy shimmer to it, that made me pass on it. Light Year is much more blendable and is easy for me to apply for a glow on the cheeks! Solar Ray I would probably use for the same purpose, but since there is more product in an MSF, I went for LY!

I love finishing products! I mostly just finish my skincare products for right now, except for lipglasses and the like, but it's always like WHEW! I did it! 

I still wish I got my hands on Fresh Salmon! That color is to die for, especially with the gold sparkles! I've been looking for a dupe ever since, but no dice. I'm glad Ruffian Gold popped up, though, because I feel like I can make a similar shade to Fresh Salmon with it (maybe). Rose Maiden is a gorgeous shade that works for every-day or night's out for me. Usually I'm not a frosty lipstick person, but there's something about Rose Maiden that makes me melt!  

I'm 26 and I don't think there is anything to worry about! Age doesn't mean you're expired and can't wear whatever makeup you want to wear!

For me, I think glitter is borderline okay, I mean I'm not gonna wear glittery shadows and cheeks like I did when I was 14 or 15, (ahhh glittersticks, how I loved them!), but shimmer is a-ok! Everything in moderation should be just fine. I even wear flourescent colors from time-to-time just for the hell of it. Obviously it's not an every day thing, nor is it a special occasion thing, but more of a "when the mood strikes". Just flaunt it! 

Ohhh nooo!!!!! That's so sad I am very sorry for your loss!

It is gorgeous! I almost ordered it off of Nordstrom's website but glad I got it today! My Earthshine shipped today so I now have all four MSFs from this collection!! YAY! Also thanks to duckerodeo, I will have to backup Meteoric like four times! LOL! It is a gorgeous color!

I'm taking Human Anatomy class right now and we are on the reproductive system, so naturally my mind went there instead of seeing a snake! So ready for this class to be over with!!

You're very right, and just like the few other people who have mentioned similar advice, I value your story and input! :) I feel like I should post my makeup collection as it's only 2 drawers and less than a train case full of stuff, but I want to share with everyone all of my swirly goodies first, as everyone else have showed theirs :D I love looking at these swirls! It's like I can't stop, I keep searching Google for a new review everyday or go through Specktra looking for more that I have yet not seen :p I feel like I'm the only person who didn't pick up any of the MES, CSG's, or lipsticks. I only got LY, ES, and SW, as well as RoS and Supernova.

Enjoy Meteoric!
I love finishing (also buying) products, too! LOL I just wish Cleanse Off Oil would last a little longer with me. Still, finishing them is fun. I'm waiting for MAC to re-promote Fresh Salmon. I've never seen any MAC lipstick quite like it. It's one of my fav lipsticks. You should have it!


I'm glad you finally saw the collection in person! Enjoy your MSFs and Meteoric! I giggled @ four times. Enjoy it, girls!

I also did a look with Water, using all of its shades seperately: the seafoam green on the lid, the dark blue in the crease and the yellow in the inner corner. My bf commented it was a 'canary look', but I personally thought it looked mermaid-y - love the shimmer of it when the light hits it!

She might be right. But Venus is such a great color that I can give them as gifts if I realize later that five was a little excessive.

I will shortly, upload my haul form this collection.
Ohhh.. and also, I want to mess around with what I bought see what ideas I can share with you guys so I'll post that up shortly too.

Btw today I'm wearing Magnetic Attraction on lid with the gold part as a highlight and Rich Core in the crease. Ring of Saturn on cheeks with Light Year and Meteoric lips.
