At Pro stores, yes.

Once you have it on your lid, it will be so much harder to crush - unless you want to poke your eyeballs. I hope this helps.

 

 

PS: I tried W10, NW20, and NW55 in combination with Museum Bronze (my favorite piggie). Brushes used: 214, 259 (lower lash line); 228 (tear duct); 249, 235 (crushing and appyling); 223 (blending - the synthetic long bristles work like a charm on those piggies); 219 (outer V). Love it!

DANG MAC-Guy: I wish you would post the look! I want to see this!

That sounds pretty good. I love the 227, everything about it. Its large and great for all over color on my lids. The 215 will be the perfect addition to my brush family. And I am from Philly, where 215 is our area code, so that number is special to me.

It's been a while since i've grabbed a Mac brush. I'm overdue.

I have spoken to my Pro store and have ordered the brush already and heading down to my counter tomorrow to try out the creams to see what colours I want to order. I would like to get 2-3 so I can use them to mix them for myself and clients.

 

I should have mine by the end of the week.. EXCITED!!!!!!!

Thanks for posting this. I agree with the blogger, they are very hard to catch with a camera.

post #193 of 788

I ordered the eye brush yesterday. Simply because everything else I wanted from Styleseeker was sold out (in less than an hour after it was up on the site!!) Should be here tomorrow.

May I join in the conversation? blush-anim-cl.gif I noticed there's a large amount of traffic coming to my blog from here lately, so thank you to for the linking.

 

I got the Pressed Pigments yesterday, and was totally excited for them. From what I learned they can be use wet and dry.. also on the body not just for the face?! But I think the only way to actually use them on your body, is to apply them wet. That way the shimmers and the color are kinda melted down, but it still is a whole lot of shimmers to put on your body. The swatches I have on my blog, don't really shows how shimmery they are.. See the swatches and add about x3 more shimmers greengrin.gif the idea is closer to that!

Thank you so much for the swatches! Do you think you will use them more on the eyes or as cheek highlighters?

So who is ready (or waiting) to order? :-)

post #198 of 788

I went to our freestanding store today, to pick up some items from face & body. Love the pressed pigments and bought Day Gleam and Deeply Dashing, along with Coffee Walnut sculpting cream and the 162 brush. That brush is really nice, but i'm a bit sad that it is made in china. What happend? I remember full size brushes were exlcusively made in france and japan. Hopefully it dosen't start to shed.

post #199 of 788

I ordered Day Gleam pressed pigment and Naturally Defined sculpting cream! I hope Naturally Defined isn't too dark, the other lighter shade looked too light for me.

It's a highlighter (shaping cream), thus I'm pretty sure it won't be too dark for you (but maybe too light).

I know what it is, but the shade on the site aren't always accurate. I know the Accentuate powder was too light for me right now, but perfect when my skin is much lighter (NC20-25). If Naturally Defined is darker than Accentuate but not a lot darker, then it's ok but if it's darker than let's say NC35 then it might be too similar to my skintone which isn't good to highlight.

Oh ok. I thought you wanted to use it as a contour/sculpter.

post #203 of 788

I am so ready to order! I love contouring with creams! I want the brushes too!

post #204 of 788

I'm NC30-35... which shade should I get to contour?  I have PS in my cart.  ??? I hate not being able to use my PRO discount at a store near me.  It's always such a gamble trying to do this sight unseen!

I would really check these out in store (and then proceed to online ordering to use your discount). You want to be sure it matches and blend well with your skin.

 

I'd say PS is too pink as a highlighter and too light as a contour for NC35. RH is more neutral than CB if you want to contour. I mix it with the m/m in Shine as it is insanely pigmented, but it blends like a charm. I'd stay clear from CW if you have strong yellow undertones as it might turn out green.

post #206 of 788

I put in a preorder with Nordies last week.  I ordered:

 

Richly Honed sculpting cream - the texture is nothing like the cremeblend blushed IMO, I liked that it dried down to a powder finish.

Beaming and Deeply Dashing pressed pigments - very pretty, but also very glittery

post #207 of 788
Any suggestions for which sculpting creams i should get to contour and highlight?? Im nc45 by macs standard even though all of their nc45s make me look like a pumpkin

No, I don't use that anymore since my cheeks are already well defined, I tried and it made me look like I was ill or very skinny. However, I love highlighter, I can't get enought of that glowy look on my cheeks!
