I am the total opposite...I would never buy a product because I simply like the packaging....I will buy packaging I don't like if I love the product. I buy a lot of DS lipsticks that the pkg sucks on but I really like the color. With MAC if you don't like the packaging you can always depot..as with most DS now too

The best packaging of lipstick in drugstore is Rimmel. I swear the rest suck, it depresses me just seeing the lipstick but loving the color.

Admittedly, i'm a sucker for packaging, but i'm not so bad that i'll buy just because I like the packaging even if the product sucks.

I'll buy something (in ugly packaging) being all practical- 'oh its a great product, doesnt matter what the package looks like etc etc...', and barely use it.

I was actually considering depotting...but darn, 6 blushes?! LOL thats outta my league!

yeah I have 3 pro pans of Blushes and hope to get another when the F&F sale hits

Yeah I have issues !!

So I think Eversun is going back

, however I do want to take a moment to rave about On A Mission. It's such a nice plummy lavender color. I've been wanting something like this for a while.

Oh I forgot to say that I've bought Scatterrays and Bronzescape solar bits too. I got them both for $20 + free shipping off the sales forum - bargain

Did anyone try this look, I replicated it using purple e/s from the 120 palette on the lid and a yellow e/s from the 120 palette on the lower lid as e/l and tender tyst lip stain on my lips and gold deposit on my cheeks and got tons of compliments on it

I have yet to try it

...but will do so

 

[TISH1124]

^ I haven't either but Purple Rite looks almost exactly like that on me if I wear it solo

Does OAM really show up that well? I didn't bother swatching it in the store 'cause I figured it would just be too light and ashy. But that's what I thought about Fleur Power until I tried it, and now it's one of my favourite blushes.

Hmm... Time to go back to the swatch thread...

 

[TISH1124]

Yes it shows up great on me...I think Twinkle_Twinkle is a shade darker than me perhaps and she said she really liked it..I am NC45

I am NW45/47 and OAM did not show up well on me. I ended up getting Flirty and Tease powder blush to get the same effect on my darker skin tone.

I'm NW45 for reference. It's a BPB so it's not intense color by any means, but when applied with a dense brush it's definitely there, and it's a nice plum/lavender sheen. If you are looking for something more dramatic though I say go for Flirt & Tease.

Thanks for all the feedback and advice re. OAM. Much appreciated.

I love this Beauty of Colour sub-forum!

After seeing those pictures, you've finally convinced me to get OAM! It's so beautiful on her skin

I use Studio Fix Fluid in NC40 but I think I might be NC37 already. Do you think it would have that same effect on me? Dayummmm. Can't wait for Style Warrior to come out here!

 

[TISH1124]

^^^I am NC45/NW43 and I really like it...I think you will as well.

 

[Ashleybubbles83]

from this line i ended up getting:

all four lipglasses
all lipsticks but brave new bronze
mercenary and violet fire nail polishes
all of the eyeshadows

and i'll probably get one of the bronzers when i go next week for my color matching at MAC...need to get studio tech for the summer!
