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. 


LOL that is way too funny! I LOVE your swirl, I am jealous. I wanted a swirl like that for my back up because I love the color of the pink swirl individually.

Definite keeper! How cute of him! I love it when I think my husband isn't paying attention and then he startles me with some comment about this or that.

And your swirl looks awesome, too (he has a good eye for swirl hunting, LOL)!

Someone else looks interested in the background, too! Cute! My dog loves to watch me get ready...until the blow dryer starts!

Check out Make Up For Ever's 18C lip liner. It's a coral-pink color. Since Cut a Caper is sheer, maybe applying Lip Erase by MAC or concealer/foundation prior to application can bring the color out more. Good luck!

Definitely a keeper, enjoy your LY. I am a bit tempted by it now.

Nyx has a Coral lip liner available on cherryculture.com or MAC Summerfruit is a good one too, but idk why it breaks on me a lot :-( the twist-up liners don't agree with me lol. Or MAC Lasting Sensation lip pencil is great, but more of a vibrant coral.

Don't feel bad, you're in good company.  I caved and bought Galaxy Rose CSG today.  I don't know if I bought it because it was wonderful or if I bought it because I couldn't get it off my mind as it's the only CSG I didn't get from this collection.  My rationalization:  Its a bit more pigmented than Astral so it may make a nice transition into fall gloss.  How'd I do?

Hahaha, it's a different CSG though so you're good!

I also wanted a BU of Earthshine but that one is way more pigmented than CotU, I don't have to use as much as with CotU.. so I couldn't justify it.

I will go to pick my MSFs and tow of the  blushes, 2 lipsticks, and 2 or more of the eye shadows rasta.gif

which one better to pick with lots of swirls or less? I don't want a lot of shimmer so any recommendation on that?

Less gold is less shimmer. I have seen some with a lot of swirls but they are thin or very few thick gold swirls. Sometimes there isn't gold in every swirl ring so it is hard to say if more or less is better for less shimmer.

There's definitely a danger in being able to order from MAC anytime you desire graucho.gif

Still, it would save me tons of fuel lol.

Your swirls are very beautiful! I love your CotU! Less orange would be a good everyday MSF. I'm sorry you were sick, I hope you feel better now, hun! :-)
post #7380 of 7900
I do hope my BU of CotU has a lot of orange and bronze and little gold like the one I already have.. or even more of the orange and bronze! I would be so sad if I receive one with little orange and bronze veining.. I'll receive the msf tomorrow, fingers crossed!

CotU really is a great everyday msf!
