LOL...is that one of the desi memes fro fb?

when does the mail room open?

i was wondering the same, but i think audrey mentioned earlier that they aren't that similar except the sparkle factor...maybe it depends on skin tone?

i dont think its desi but i might be wrong....

 

[Piarpreet]

This is exactly how I feel when I come home and find out that I have missed the UPS guy by five minutes

i gotta wait till they open at 9am.... :/

-Barefoot eyeshadow - love all golds - someone mentioned henna and I am reminded of it too - I must go dig that one out to compare

let us know how it compares! i hadn't heard them compared yet, but i do have henna in my stash...i don't really use it very often though...

My order from the MAC website should be here tomorrow, and hopefully my Nordstrom order will be here by the end of the week, I can't wait!!

I'm not caught up on this thread but I need to post my initial thoughts before I forget them.  I got my box today. I got: -Fleet Fast blush - Love it!  Did I need it? No - I have bought so many of these corally pink blushes this season.  But it is really pretty. FF-Can't wait 2 get my mits on this bad girl!!! -Crew highlighter - I'm not caring about the colors so much.  I really bought it for highlighter use, not blush so I'm fine with the changing color layers - I just tried this on top of my already made up face and I was just seeing a white color.  I did remind me of how Lightscapade was looking on me.  I must play around with this more. Again, another divine intervention comment that I do not need Crew! -To Catch a Sailor - Oh I should have listened to my Specktra friends and skipped this one.  The frost is not bothering me but it is just too light for me.  It almost looks white on my lips - ick!   What do other fair skinned ladies think about TCAS??? I was hoping this would be a neat nude! Please let me know ur thoughts. It looked great on Pinkdollface but I don't recall seeing it ON anyone else. I debated whether or not I should post this mini review.  I just got the stuff and I already have a full face of makeup on but I know if I wait, it just may not happen.  I went shopping yesterday and I'm on product overload. I figured I should post in case it helps someone who is going to the stores on Thursday. Off to catch up on this thread.

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thank u.

oh ok...i think they use that graphic in many of their posts but i guess they might have got it from elsewhere to begin with!

I NEED Crew. I mean I don't need Crew. Ahh! I can't figure out if I want this or not. It looks so pretty. But I just ordered the Vera Powders so that SHOULD suffice, right? Anti enablers please step up

The Vera powders should suffice. There...

You are correct MACerette...that was the whole reason I bought the Ver's in the firstplace! I'm over Crew envy! I promise. I asked for a anti MU sponsor & quite a few have stepped up to this....ask & ye shall receive! Thanks everyone for looking out for me. I don't want to totally be weaned off MU...just some clear heads to help me thru these moments! Big hugs all around.

Definitely --  I have both Vera powders -- (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE) and so am saving money by skipping Crew. Although as soon as I decide to skip something I just add another product to my list so not really saving any money.

yet another person helping me pass the Crew! But ur right, it's not $ saved, it's reappropriated! thanks IyseD!

xpinkglliter, oh, I'm sorry to hear this! Was this resolved??? Hope so.

Yea it was shortly after thankfully!

xpinkglitter, Glad this had a happy beginning 4 ya'! Enjoy ur stuff.

 

[Spanky]

My new pretties came finally! :boxday:

what do you think of to catch a sailor? i really want to see that on someone. Glad your stuff showed up !

Amen Genn, I'm dying to see this on some people with fair skin! It looked fantastic on Pinkdollface, but I'd love to see it on more people. It's not getting much love!

I planned on skipping this collection until the bf and I decided to go the Mac pro store yesterday. I ended up hauling 3 of the sun dipped bronzers. OMG! this is HG status next to MAC glorify, haha. Its very difficult to find any bronzer on my skin tone without it being so orangey or unflattering on my skin. I'm a nw 30- 35 with no yellow undertones, mostly cool toned with a slight tan. That's asian skin for you haha! This products makes me look like I am naturally tanned, but i'm not. MAC describes the Bronzing Powders as lightly frosted, tinted powders to give skin sheer, natural color and highlights, and they recommend them for enhancing and strengthening a tan. MAC is dead on with this description!

I have Peachykeen, but not Fleet Fast so I can't comment on how close they are. I saw that someone asked T and she said that Peachykeen was lighter and less red. That actually will make it better for me; I have redness in my cheeks to begin with, so I can't really go with deeply pigmented blushes if they have a pink/red tone because it just emphasizes that.

I did swatch Fleet Fast in store, but it was on my hand (all they'd let me do). I didn't think to compare it Peachykeen. I really liked FF; it was a good tone for me. I'm not sure it would be on my face though because of the redness thing. I ended up buying Orgasm instead which is really a stretch for me because of the shimmer. I wouldn't wear it to work and it's really just a summer weekend casual blush for me, but the colour was divine and I really don't need much to get a flush (so hopefully I won't get too sparkly).

I don't think that Peachykeen and Fleet Fast are dupes, but I think Peachykeen might be kind of similar. Many blushes seem more pigmented because of my natural colouring, unfortunately.

Edit: I think I saw that someone mentioned Allura thought FF and PK were close as well, but I could be mistaken.

LOL. Yes, usually when people comment me on my complexion they're asking me if I'm sick because I look so pale. I get the same thing...but when I really am sick my face gets ghastly pale & my freckles multiply. It's so strange. Being pale is beautiful, just as beautiful as the range of all 'normal' skin tones, meaning not oopah oomph orange, fake n bake, over done spray tan or tanning bed people! That's exactly how am too, LOL. But you should give bronzers a try. I wear it all over, like on the cheeks, temples, forehead, nose and chin. 

Maybe I'll have a look at the bronzers when I pick up my stuff on Thursday. I doubt I'll end up getting them (I don't WANT to be tan) but if the effect is amazing maybe I will change my mind. 

I feel the same way, but am Bronzer curious just to see what effect it may have on me, in a very subtle way. I bought Lush Light Bronze at CCO recently & my dear, honest husband didn't really like it on me, but when we were inside in low lighting he said it looked better, like maybe it would be a nice thing to use at night...that is if we actually went out at night! Lol. I'm interested to know what u thought of A Bronzer on u & which one u tried, so give us an update & like I said I got my LLBronzer at the CCO in the last month, if u have one near, maybe u should check it out if u don't love the 1 u try @ the store b/c then u get it at a discount & it's not something that will be hanging over ur head if $ is an issue. HTH.

 

[liba]

Yeah I still want to try red if this doesn't work out...hopefully because it's not out and out orange I'll be fine with it...

Personally, with reds, I would never buy one unless I could try it on first, because the right red looks beautiful and the wrong red is just bad bad bad. You may possibly prefer the red gloss or maybe the red lipstick from Heavenly Creature will turn out to be better. Good luck on your red (and your bronzing experiences too)!

Of course the Vera's will suffice (well, at least until the Next Best Thing is launched). When they arrive, you'll have fun playing with them and figuring out how to work them into different looks. They sound great - I'm looking forward to receiving mine.

I hate when I buy something (particularly when I had doubts about it to begin with) and it's just wrong for me. I don't mind spending the money when I enjoy the item, but I swear I spend 'wasted' money 50 different ways in my head.

(Like the wasted GAT l/g could have been Riviera Life).

Eye luggage issues for some reason I can't pull up the quote that I'm replying to but Liba & perhaps FadBurger were talking about puffy under eyes. That was a huge issue for me, but I went to Sephora & someone recommended the Bliss Triple Oxygen Eye Cream & I noticed a vast improvement when I started using it faithfully. I can't live w/o it, so anyone w/ eye bags or circles may want to check this stuff out. Ask for a sample & see what u think. Only drawback is that I noticed my eye MU was drifting over to the side bridge of my nose & I think that it's because using the Bliss cream in the morning on my eye lids caused my MU to migrate. I still feel like I can't cover up when my eyeshadow makes it's way onto the side bridge of my nose, so if anyone has any tips, I would totally be indebted to you forever!

 

[dollluv21]

Welcome dolluv21! it sounds like u got some good pieces, enjoy & let us know what u think.

fleet fast -a very nice subtle blush, was surprise that it looks so good on my cheek( im nw45)

Aud, Am i understading u correctly, r u just getting the Veras too??? If I'm understanding u correctly I'm so geekely excited because we are not the same skintone but we r the same MU path! How funny. I know what u mean about the $ & GAT! Could have had something more fitting for my coloring for sure! So funny to me. Have a good night!

The only thing I ended up with from this collection was the Old Gold Pigment, I am more of a blue based lover so it made it easier to skip what i needed too... Althought really wanted the tote and was sad to skip it only because of the price and the tight budget my makeup purchasing is on atm...
