Also, I managed to temporarily be distracted away from makeup by scallops pan fried in butter. Yummmmmmmmmm.
MMMMMMm. Sounds delish! I love shrimp fried in garlic and butter myself. I HATE school food right now!

Re: Bimbos unite!

I really want to try topping some of my Dazzle glass with reflects transparent teal! I love the teal in Rags to Riches... I think it would be fantastic over some of the other ones too.

And another note about pigments. I have this idea in my head and it is quite silly but I wanted to share. I was admiring the Jelly Belly Jelly Bean display at the store the other day and starting thinking about pigments because of all of the beautiful colors. Anyway, how fun would it be if MAC had an area where you could help yourself to pigments much like Jelly Belly Beans. If they sold the glass vials that they use at holiday time, and allowed you to scoop your own into them, you could custom mix your own colors, or buy your favorites in a much smaller amount for a much better price. How awesome (though messy) would that be?

Why don't you email to MAC? Copyright by the bimbo club?

Ahh, I would love to! But not this year

I am a teacher in my second year. If you start working as a teacher here after university you are under "observation" for the first two years. I will have my final exams in November - then I can work on my own - but the months until November will still be not easy. I have examination lessons every couple of weeks and write my second diploma thesis right now until June. Don't have much freetime at the moment.

But I promise I will come as soon as I can!!

I guess I've kinda felt like MAC_Whore (not for exactly the same reasons) just been a little reserved about putting my face on the internet, although I'm already somewhat of a public figurrrrr So, I guess that wouldn't hurt. And, I hate pictures of myself..even if they turn out ok ...silly me.

OK, well I do have a pic ready and may put it up. My hair is a little windblown in it but whatever.

I love the baby pics!

*another question* What is your favorite/best brush to use with the pigments? Or do you just use your fingers?

It looks OK to me, but I'm definitely no expert. The lid has that matte/slightly shiny look to it and the jar walls look right, but it was taken at a weird angle, so it's kinda hard to tell. The box looks OK to me. To my knowledge, Jardin Aires hasn't been faked...I don't think any of the LE ones have. But for $2 more you can get it from MAC, still. Or you could always check the clearance bin. E-Bay is great, but I'm so wary these days.

Edit: I looked in the seller's history and the other pigments he's selling look OK to me (i.e. they aren't ones that are faked) EXCEPT there's a sale for Rocking Orange Pigment, which I believe was said to be a glitter in another thread.

Are you ready for this? *takes a deep breath*,,, Let the rambling begin!

What brush I use depends on where on my eye or face I am putting the pigment. If it is on the lid, I use the 239. In the crease, either 217, 222, or 224, just like if it were pressed shadow. If you use the 222 or 224 be sure to really press the brush into the pigment (I use it from the lid) so the pigment gets into the bristles. That helps to eliminate some fallout if it is in the bristles rather than sitting on top of the bristles. I find that using the 224 blends them out and makes them softer looking because it is a fluffier brush. If I am using them as a cheek highlight, I use my skunk brush (similar to the 188 cause I don't have the 188 yet ) and I tap it on my cheeks and then blend. I agree with Susanne, please, no fingers

Thank you! I actually had bare lips at the time. Shameful, I know, but I was getting ready to head out to the gym. Scallops are wonderful, you should give them a shot some time.

I love shrimp fried in garlic and butter, too! If you like spicy, you should try doing that, but adding cayenne pepper, white pepper and black pepper - it's delicious. The combination of the three peppers gives a nice, even heat across the entire tongue.

Re: Bimbos unite!

I'm actually legitimately hoping to road trip across Canada and the US next summer. So, who knows? Maybe I could see some of you along the way! Someone could introduce me to a CCO!

Slap my hands...I used my fingers...just to get a quick look at the color/texture of piggies the first time on my eyes.

So really not much different on the brushes. Whew! I thought there certainly would be this 'special' (& surely) expensive brush one has to use for pigments only

Great info for me though! I'm so loving the colors

Re: Bimbos unite!

I definitely vary the brush I use for pigments depending on what I'm doing, much like I vary the brush I use with eyeshadows.

Also, two new pigments for meeeee today! I gots a package in the mail! Cornflower pigment, Golden Olive pigment, macroviolet fluidline (I'm such a fluidline junkie... Only a handful more that I need til I have them all! And all of those permanent shades, too ) and slicked pink lipgelee as a bonus since shipping was delayed. I just recently tried lipgelees for the first time and I'm loving them. I greatly prefer the texture to that of the lipglasses. So far, I have jellybabe, dewy jube and now slicked pink!

Well I like to use the 217 brush if it's for in the crease, and the 209 if it's liner. The 275 is a really good one if I am just going for it on the eye, also a brush I got from a Lancome GWP several years ago (thanks Mom!) works quite well.

I tend to find that it's small, short, and fluffy that works the best. I have the 252 but would NOT use it for pigments.

The 217 is the brush love of my life. I want at least one more.

Re: Bimbos unite!

I think I am addicted to brushes There are nearly endless possibilities for a look if you have the right brushes. Without them you can buy the best products, but the look won't work.

BTW I really like working with the 217, too!

I would love to get pink SE brushes again!! There were already some, weren't there? I missed them
