Technically, you are still done with HC since you didn't spend any money on your new goodie tong.gif

 

You're right....but it didn't stop me from backing up Centre of the Universe and Cut a Caper, lol!

On an unrelated note (but back OT) I am starting to think CoTU is going to be too warm for me to enjoy.  Any other pale girls feeling its too, I don't know, Oompa loompa territory?  I can sheer it out and add pink over it to get it toned down, or use as the world's most ginormous eyeshadow.  Anyone have any tips to make me love it more?  Its so gorgeous in the pan but its scarey orange on my cheeks.

 

I'm nc-15 and LOVING CoU. I think, as with Earthshine, your amount of gold is what will really determine its wearablity (is that even a word?). I tried on one in the store and that turned me off because it was SOO orange. But I ended up caving and ordering one, which has a good amount of gold, and very little of the outer dark orange, and it looks beautiful on my cheek. Like a lighter version of NARS Luster.

I have one with a TON of pink, and one with hardly any at all, and they swatch and apply virtually the same. Like the one with more pink might be the teenist, tiniest bit more pink, and I think that slightest bit of variation  (and I'm talking VERYYY slight) only shows up on me because I am pale. I think what really changes the color of the product is that golden swirl in the middle (making it darker and more metallic the larger the swirl is).

Wha' happened?????

I wore Star Wonder as eyeshadow today. I didn't have any problem. I feel pretty lucky. As long as I don't put anything glittery around my eyes and on my waterline, I'll be fine.   greengrin.gif

Hope you'll love Sky, Neo Nebula, and Universal Appeal. pretty.gif

I shall try Light Year as an eyeshadow soon. Light Year, Star Wonder, and Earthshine all look beautiful on you! MA looks pretty as blush, too. I'm glad to know that they're really versatile. Thank you for sharing, Magenta924!

Do you think MSF are must haves? I've never owned one & I'm trying to decide if I actually need one. I own plenty of blushes & highlighters...

An MSF is an All in one type of product. I really like them. Thier texture is amazing. I would definitely recommend for you to try one. You won't be disappointed.

Is there a certain one that you think would be suitable for fair olive tone complexion? I might head to Nordstrom after work tonight...

ABSOLUTELY! Once you purchase 1, you'll crave more. Trust me - I have about 35 in regular rotation and a bunch of backups. I've only been collecting them since 2009. ...tis sad!

Team MSF whore here too.  I ended up not getting a BU of LY since I wanted to get 2 more electric e/s for the same price as one BU.  And, I have yet to use up a single MSF, so I think I will survive without it.

 

Superwatt, Back Lit, Brilliant Lit, Dynamo, Ultraviolet, and Elecroplate are on the way--got Nordies' to ship because they had everything in stock and I was wanting the coral one of all things.  (although the chartreuse one looks lovely too).  I think I am done with HC. 

 

This thread is inspiring me to try the blushes and MSF as eyeshadows.

I would recommend light year or star wonder and if you really like color then center of the universe. But, definitely try one of the first two.
