I love that it's matte too, I'm not a big fan of shimmer in blushes... I got a feeling Melba is gonna replace my favorite Gingerly very soon smiles.gif

LOVE Melba -- just got it as a gift. I can't believe I waited so long. I'm sure I will use it a lot.

 

On another note any suggestions for a grey shadow that is not sparkly? I have scene but was looking for something lighter.

 

Thank you.

Copperplate is a gorgeous grey! It's a matte2, so no shimmer. It also isn't a blue grey like scene.

I just went to my local MAC counter and bought Matchmaster foundation in 1.0, Lightscapade MSF (there were buckets of these at my local MAC counter) and the 130 brush (my first MAC brush). :)

Well, I've bought something this year! I got Silver Birch at my local MAC store. I really like it. I just need my HC and Fireside that I ordered to arrive. Holidays are nice and all but they came between me and my pretties. Over a week to arrive really bites. I should get them Tuesday.

I'm gonna have to pick up a pink bronze pigment BU. Will i go thru my original and need the BU? Probably not. Will i feel better with a BU just in case? Absolutely!

I think fresh flare is still perm. Weathered is in the goodbyes.

Oh cool, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks! smiles.gif

Lol, hey if you love it a bu it's always a good idea. You never know what will happen. I broke my by candlelight and the bright coralish blush from wonder women, and lost my gone romancin dgc, and I loved them! ssad.gif

Happy New Year Everyone!

 

My first purchase was a set of brushes from Beaute Cosmetics. They had a 40% off sale and I did NOT hesitate!

So this is semi-OT, but you know that UD Naked palette I finally caved and bought as my first purchase of the year?  Well I got a look at it in good lighting and noticed that one of the colors definitely has some kind of smudge in it.  shockt.gif  Whether it was made by a finger or a brush, I don't know, but ew?  Contacted Sephora CS about it and they claim I can exchange it at a Sephora store (I ordered it online), even though I threw away the outer packaging.  Debating if it's worth doing that, since the whole reason I order online and don't buy things from the store is because I hate how everything is just out for people to grab and open if no one is looking.  I'm not a germaphobe about much, but when it comes to makeup, I totally am.  Thinking of just not using that one color since I have so many other pretties in the palette to choose from, but I wanted an opinion from fellow Specktrettes, if you have any thoughts on it!  Sorry for the OT ramble...

I remember that with one of the palettes, the pans were not staying glued down very well during production and the workers (wearing gloves) were pressing the pans down with their fingers to get them to stay. The product was ok, it just had finger dents in some shadows. UD let customers exchange them.

Yeah, I've received palettes that I know have not been opened (the box is sealed), but the sometimes the plastic thingy presses against the shadow and makes a smudge.  If you're in doubt, def exchange it.

My first purchase turned out to be my first expensive mistake. Beaute has a strict return policy, so I can't return the brushes (as they are not damaged). But to say that they are rubbish... would be an insult to rubbish.

 

The company's lip products are amazing, but I strongly suggest you avoid the brushes at any and all costs. I'm going to do a brush  by brush comparison on my blog (to actual decent, quality brushes from drugstores and high end cosmetics/brush lines)... because OMG. These are better suited to DIY day in Kindergarten.

Sanitize the palette with some 70% rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle and use the shade anyway. smiles.gif

My first purchase for the new year was MAC's Party Parrot (amazingly they had tons of this in stock at my local counter!), Benefit's World Famous Neutrals in Most Glamorous Nudes, and the eyeko travel size liner/mascara set! My wallet is not too happy right now but I am :P
