Hahah, dang, I should just go ahead and get a back-up. All I have are..
Petticoat x2
So Ceylon x2
Light Flush
Warmed
Redhead
Blonde
Brunette

That's not nearly so many as any of you girls I bet!

And I agree with the peach statement! Enough pink to work with pink undertones, and enough yellow to work with yellow undertones. Definitely a color that everyone will like~!

That's for sure!

First off, cheers for you and your wallet!

There's always a bigger fish in the ocean, in this case, there's always someone who owns more MSFs than you do.

Calling out to darkish's sane head voice! Although you may not have the most MSFs but what you have would probably last you through this lifetime.

I don't mean to be violent, but hope I can knock some sense to fight off the temptation. I'll stick to what I said earlier, trade off something if you wanna get a backup!

Especially since you would want to get some stuff from HK too, right?

Hahaha, I was thinking of getting rid of Light Flush to get another Redhead, so I'm not totally crazy. Yes, those would last me this lifetime, really.

I'm one of the more restrained ones on the forum, so yeah. So no need for the violence! (I'm a tender Asian girl after all!

)

And HK? Don't get me started, I only want 2-3 things at most.
So yeah, it's not an issue for me to really get another MSF.

I do love my MSFs! Many go neglected but there are about four that I use on a regular basis (Lightscapade, Redhead, Stereo Rose, & Petticoat).

When I was at my local counter last week I'm pretty sure she said February 2nd.

That was at DJ's in Adelaide. She also mentioned something about this possibly being exclusive to DJ's but not sure if that is true or not.

Simple...

when you've become aware that your desired items or collections are no longer available online or at your closest Stores/counters, simply call the "GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN" Hotline 1-800-216-7173 and allow them to track it down for you.

They're able to track items as far back as one year.

Me too! I'm really only tempted by lip things, and some cheek stuff. I hate my eyes and will never dress them up, so there's no point buying loads of e/s just because they look pretty in the pan. Sad that I've got ugly eyes but hey, that saves me a whole lot of money.

Sorry about the violence, here's some TLC for you:

Shhh.. I'm a tender Asian girl too!

You so DO NOT have ugly eyes! Don't you dare say that, or I will become violent!

I think the key is to know how to work with what you have and learn how to do make up based on YOUR shape, not anyone else's. I know it's hard because I have definitely struggled with mine, I sort of have a grasp now how to do make-up for my eyes. I think you just need to practice a lot and find a good example of a person that has eyes like yours that does fantastic make-up. I personally always look at Snowkei's tutorials and looks because we have similar eyes, including a very small eyelid that still somewhat visible (not complete monolid), I don't think me and you have the same eye shape, or I'd recommend someone to you.

I've stopped buying eye stuff though, there's only so much I can use! Lip stuff.. on the other hand.. is also my main weakness. Besides that though.. I MAY invest in another Redhead. We'll see.

But I guess it IS a good thing you focus mainly on lip stuff, you won't spend a crapload on eyeshadows then! Though I still think it's definitely because you probably need more practice with eye make-up. :nod:

Thanks for your opinion! I will go for the MAC brush then.

You do NOT have ugly eyes. They are lovely and you should learn to love them. They may not be the easiest shape to figure out eyeshadow application for, but that hardly means there's something wrong with them! Try to set aside your frustrations with their shape, look at them and attempt to find what will work for them. There's nothing wrong with simply experimenting at home, either, or searching for other Asians to see how they work with their eyes. I hope that if you can figure out how to work with them, perhaps you'll realize how delightful they are.

 

[Catatonia]

I'm a brunette but that's the only MSF I'm not interested in

As soon as I can get my hands on them, I'm getting Blonde and probably Redhead

I love So Ceylon that much that I bought a backup a couple of minutes ago. I don't see me using the Brunette much although it lookes really pretty so that it left the list too. The Redhead however is the MSF I am looking forward to! However I must admit that it disturbs me - after seeing the new swatches - that the new MSFs are more shimmery. It is a soft shimmer but .. not so sure about it. It might even leave the list too when I see it IRL. The updated and much shorter list is: - Redhead MSF - Pincurl e/s - #165 (maybe) - #214 - #226 I am in a "no more Lipglasses"-mood because I feel that I have with the ones I have - including the three last years Little Darlings Sets - enough right now. I am more a Lipglass than a Lipstick person so I don't really need any of the Lipsticks too. The only Eyeshadow that I want is Pincurl. A shorter list feels good!

Ok, more for me left!!

On my list there are still

3 (at least 2) MSFs
4 l/g
3 (at least 2) e/s
3 brushes

 

[stv578]

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna cave and get Marquise D' at some point the week as well.

 

[Carrie Ann]

First I thought I can pass this color story, but after checking some swatches and descriptions...*uuuh* noooo

On my list are:

-e/s: French Cuff, Flip, 100 Strokes & Deep Shade
-l/g: Strawberry Blonde
-Brushes: all??

Im not sure, if the dupes of the e/s may are are enough for me, so that a buy of the LE e/s is not necessary...and second: I dunno how to combine Deep Shade, but its so unique, isnt it?

The brushes go perm, right? Hm...very hard decision...

 

[MzzRach]

The 226 brush is LE. I would grab it now if you want it.

 

[capmorlovesmac]

The 165 is LE too.
