Oh and about the Studio Tech, do you find it pretty moisturing? When I tried it at the store yest. I kept wanted to touch my face all day long, lol. It felt so smoooooth!!!! I actually dreamt about foundation last night! I'm not big into foundation, but my studio fix has me so bummed these days, that I so excited to find something that is still in the compact format, but is a bit more moist. How did you find that it wore throughout the day?

I've been wanting both Rubenesque paint pot and Corn shadestick, but haven't gotten them yet. How are you liking them so far? Do you mind if I ask your coloring? I'm an NC43

Mac Brow Shader in Soft Charcoal/Maple +
Mac Brow Finisher in Wheat

My brows are the best they have ever been! How did I go for so long without these products? The two items work extremely well together and the result is very natural.

YES, MA'AM!! I am strung out on the Kohl Powers!

Nothing else from MAC has pleased me like this in a while. I don't know what I'd do if they came out with some more colors.

I usually wear the Studio Tech when working at the counter since it gives a flawless look. I also used to use it back in the days and had no issues whatsoever. It worked really well on my skin but I did get a little oily throughout the day. I dont wear foundation all day every day though so I dont pay much attention to lasting power and all that other stuff. But I do know that Studio Fix Fluid will last a lifetime on your skin! That one wears like a rock!
Regarding Ambering Rose, yes, I hear a lot of people recommend this as a must but on my NC45 skintone (very golden/yellow), it just made me look clownish and unnatural. It had too much of a pink undertone and it didnt flatter me at all. I find it suits darker NW skintones much better...but thats just my opinion.
My favorite blushes are Peaches, Gingerly, Sweet as Cocoa, Flirt & Tease, Sunbasque, Format and NARS Deep Throat (which I actually wear every day).
Hope I was of some help!

 

[PRiNCiPESSAx4]

oh boy i cant even remember half of what i've bought! most recently, i've purchased:

-carbon e/s
-dervish lip liner
-politely pink l/s
-white magic l/g
-flusterose l/g
-the eyeshadow brush set [i didn't really buy this, more like directed my boyfriend in the direction as a christmas gift..its now hiding in his bedroom hah]

and last but not least, i don't know how i ever lived without it..the 187!!!! my blush has never looked better..i refuse to put on blush with anything but this !!

 

[cloudburst]

MAC Pure Ore Metal-X cream shadow
MAC Plum Electric Metal-x cream shadow
MAC Virgin Silver Metal-x cream shadow
NARS Luster blush
Dior Detective Chich Eye Palette

I like the Metal-x shadows, they have a drier feel than most cream products. Electric Plum is more matte than metallic, but I think it will be good for doing smoky/smudgy eyes. I like NARS Luster blush, but I'm not in love with it ( I prefer Orgasm). I'm NC 30/35 btw

 

[labellavita7]

I just got Clinique cream eyeliner, I love it, it works wondefully
Also Benefit Georgia, Sephora fluid blush, and BE Mineral Veil
And now I'm broke. lol

Yes, I love them both, the Corn shadestick really helps when I'm trying to wear yellow or gold since the shadows alone don't show up real dramatic. I don't wear MAC foundation any more I'm using Bare Escentuals Tan/Medium Tan but I think I use to use NC 40.

 

[darkishstar]

-Select SPF 15 Moistureblend foundation in NC30
-190 brush
-Finery Coral Lips
-Sweet Sienna Pigment
-Naked Lunch Eyeshadow
-Fix+
-Hothouse Lipglass
-Your Ladyship Pigment
-Queen's Sin Lipstick

No more spending for me!

I'm supposed to be on a ban until Valentine's day, but the Bobbi Brown Best of Chocolate Palette keeps calling me...

I wanted to try some NARS reds, so during Sephora F&F I got...
Fire Down Below lipstick
Flamenco lipstick
Diablo lip lacquer.

so far, they're all gorgeous! Flamenco is sheer and is a good work look, esp. with diablo on top. FDB is a great red, too.
