I just remembered I NEVER posted my swirls! 

I did get Stratus but I didn't take a picture. 

Final Haul

Light Year

Center of the Universe x2

Star Wonder x2

Earthshine

Supernova

Solar Ray

Stratus

Magnetic Attraction x2

So an update on my haul. I LOVE Straus!!! It is so nice to contour with and I've been using it alot. RoS is my everyday blush. I've also been using CotU alot. I love it with my Illamasqua Excite. I used Supernova once but OMG I'm so glad I decided to get it...AWESOMENESS! I'm finding it hard to put my stratus down so I can use Earthshine, lol. HC rules!

Beautiful swirls!! Nice haul

Such nice swirls!!!! Love the one on supernova!

Aaww!

Loving your swrils!

Super pretty swirls

 

Richelle,

 

Will u take a pic of ur Earthshine?

 

I want to see what it looks like as it flattens.

 

THX!

Gorgeous swirls! I love ur MA. U really like CotU. How is that working 4 u? I skipped that one but might reconsider. Supernova is pretty ... bright!

I want to see that also!

Omg, I have now BUd half of my swirls! I don't need them!
 

Sorry if you already posted this, what is your final haul?

 

No, I have not posted it. I got

 

- all MSFs (1 BU for ES - I wanted to BU LY and CotU but they were sold out )

- all MBs (1 BU for RoS and Supernova)

- Water, Sky, MA, UA, IL, Aurora (1 BU for Water, Sky, MA, UA)

- Meteoric, Astral

- Venus, Fire Sign ( I already had Pleasureseeker and CaC)

 

I was trying to find better swirls but was not very lucky.

Great haul! I considered backing up Ring of Saturn! It's gorgeous and I'm wearing it today. Can't remember which of the Style Seeker blushes remind me of it, but one of them does. Might have to grab it. These products are so versatile and beautiful for everyday looks, I am sure you won't regret it! Enjoy!

 

Just saying like MAC: get your BU while you can!

 

Thanks, I sure will! I am finally learning how to do great cheeks!

What do you guys think about Solar Ray?

I haven't used it yet but in the pot it looks like pile of chunky glitter to me.

I love it, too. It is pretty sparkly though. Thinking this might be a special occassion blush for me. Would like to try it as an eyeshadow, and my final thought is maybe best for a neutral facelook on an everyday basis because of the sparkle.

The few times I wore it, I really felt that it woke my face up. I might wear again tommorow to see how I really feel about it...special occassion vs. tired days! I must be conflicted!

I love it, but I am only nc15 so the color shows up on me, not just the sparkles.

Thanks for your help! Yeah I am not a fan of chunky sparkle and this one seems to have that problem... So I am going to pass

So SR is chunky sparkle? You guys think it will show up on an NC40 skin? I liked the color. I think Normstrom still has it in stock.

What a nice haul MRV

I dont think it will show up Allura had trouble making it transfer to her skin and she is like NC20-25, just the sparkles came through. Its a shame because the color is lovely.

Aww that sucks . Any better payoff dupes?

 

Someone said (maybe some years ago, not about these products) that if you want to pick up the colour (they were talking qabout MSFs which possibly were less pigmented than these days) you have to use a dense brush, if you use something like 187, you'll get the sparkle only.

I received my Fire Sign today! It's soo pretty, I'm glad I ordered it!

Its a gorgeous color! Its such an easy red to wear

It is indeed! I almost always wear my reds sheer so it's great!

Now I'm thinking about BU CotU en Earthshine.. aargh will it ever end?! I've never BU anything from MAC but I'm so tempted! I haven't really used the rest I got because of these two.

no it will never end! The swirls have hypnotized us, and we will continually be their slaves.

I can't believe I haven't posted my LY yet! I was on the fence about it but all the rave reviews (and an Olympics opening ceremony drinking party buzz) pushed me to finally order it. I haven't tried it yet (i've been so caught up with stalking L'Oreal Infallible Canadian shades and watching the MAC website with y'all) but it's absolutely gorgeous. 

 

 

 

I really don't know what I was expecting (or what kind of swirls I wanted), but it's beautiful nonetheless. I'll have to try it ASAP so I can determine whether or not I'll need to order a BU before it's too late!!!

 

Funny story time! This arrived last night and after I opened it, I got really excited because I actually forgot that it was supposed to arrive yesterday. I showed it to my bf and we had the following convo:

 

BF - "So, is the ratio ok?"

ME - "The what?"

BF - "The ratio, you know, of all the different colors. Did they send you a perfect swirl?"

ME - ::speechless::

BF (while looking at LY) - "Oh, this is nice. There isn't TOO much of the gold you were afraid of. And you can pick all the different colors if you wanted to."

ME- "How do you even KNOW this?"

BF (exasperated) - "You dragged me around to find other perfect compact thing. Did you really think that I wasn't paying attention?"

 

Now that I've had a day to process the convo, I've decided he's a keeper, hahaha.
