I am doing well Liba.. ty and big hugs backHi sweetie! I'm never going to get caught up on all these threads.Hope you're doing great.
Somehow, most of the spring collections have been a little underwhelming for me - this mascara is the only thing that's exciting me other than those Patentpolishes when they blow in. My Huggables are getting maximum use and I'm a fan of the new Mineralize gloss, although I restrained my purchases, because Patentpolish time is almost here. I'm ready to fully dive into my FoF looks, now that it's well and truly springtime, though! Not everyone was thrilled with that collection, but I've been finding it effortless, fun and flirty - colorful cats eyes, soft lipstick and those beautiful blushes and boom - perfect springtime sweetness.
Meanwhile, Spring has truly sprung around here and I took on a big project of redesigning my tiny beloved garden, which had turned back mostly into dirt the past couple of years with all my health issues. I went into tornado mode and now have a lovely new family of flowers and plants - I decided to turn everything into a romantic early Victorian feeling, like the Italian villa of visiting Brits, with geraniums and pansies and masses of thyme as ground cover, and Seville orange and grapefruit trees. Gorgeous hellebore in the shade, which I'll compliment with ornamental leaf begonias and asparagus fern. Already had mature succulents, white oleander, stephanotis and honeysuckle and a few orchids. When everything starts growing in in a month, I'll post some snaps! I'm not over makeup yet, but a garden adds life in special ways that even the most fabulous makeup just barely can touch.
It really isn't dramatic on me, because it is SO creamy and blends like a dream. I am "light" skinned - NW20 in Mac Mineralize Moisture foundation matches my skin color perfectly. You can easily wipe away a lot of the contour if you blend too much because of the consistency... I use one swipe of the cream, then blend and it looks perfect.. Since it is so creamy - it needs to be set with a powder; otherwise, I can see it "disappearing" during the day. I used Benefit's Hoola bronzer over it (very lightly)- it worked great.. it just added a little depth to it and "set" it. Then I dusted Nars Light Reflecting powder over that to really make sure it didn't budge.If you have any olive or sallow tones in your skin, even if you're fair, CW is a very nice contour. Just expect it to be rather dramatic, especially if you're fair. It's more of what I'd consider a glamorous look, rather than something "My Cheeks But Better", but with a beautiful highlight on top and very minimal makeup for the rest of the face and a very simple, sleek hairstyle, like a chignon or long hair slicked back, it's a sexy look. I still have mine from the last release and don't wear it all the time, but it always looks good when I do.
Awesome! I'm always on the look out for a great mascara. I think I will try SSL next. Thanks liba!I miss you guys!!! Haven't had a lot of time lately.
I wanted to come in and say I tried out the Studio Sculpt Lash a while ago and I LOVE that brush! It's fantastic for making really THICK lashes. I'd been using the Masterclass linear brush on my lashes to fluff them up after applying mascara and I find the SSL does the same thing even more effectively, without having to go through that extra step. I like the mascara formula itself too - it's nice and light and not wet. I was bummed about regular Opulash getting axed, but this will be a great replacement for a very natural, youthful mascara. 'Normally I don't get worked up about mascara and never rush out to buy the new ones - I'm usually fine to just try when I need a brand new tube, but this one I'm going to make a point of buying tomorrow and it's going to become my daily wear mascara.
It's not the dramatic type of mascara, just so you know. More of the casual daytime type. It won't add length much either, imo. It got mine looking really thick and lush around the base of the lashes, though, which I really like and what a lot of mascaras don't do for me. It's worth a try - they will have tester wands with the SSL shape in the store so that you can try it out, before you buy.Awesome! I'm always on the look out for a great mascara. I think I will try SSL next. Thanks liba!
