Ugh I so am over this collection as well. I need more pigment, even in my lustres. I thought these would be like heavy watercolors and I was so wrong.I finally got my package today. Here is Snapdragon on. I like it but, I'm not in love with it. It took A LOT of swipes just to get it show on my lips. It's a pretty color though. But, too much work just to get it to show up. And it didn't last long on my lips. Like two hours and it was gone. I will pair it with a lip liner. But, it's not something I will reach for often. :meh:
Here is Phlox Garden. It's a very pretty shade. Although, I wish it had more purple in it. It has strong red undertones to it, which I'm kinda disappointed about. But, still a pretty color. I have to say. I'm over this collection. None of this really wowed me, except Petal Power blush. Everything else was just kinda OH BLAH! Oh well. Like I said. I don't hate them and I plan to keep them. But, I would have been okay without them too. :jerkit:

Coconut oil. Moisturize with coconut oil. You'll see a world of difference! Don't cleanse more than once a day (every other day if you can, and use a makeup wipe on the off days) and your skin will be completely different!

I thought that I was going to skip this collection until temptalia did her review and said the MSFs are way different than the previously released ones. I love the new stereo rose and find it so much more flattering on my NC25 skin. Perfect topping 2014 is nice, but I prefer the old edition. However, the two new MSFs are a nice edition to my collection. I also picked up heavenly hybrid and love it! Snapdragon was not flattering on me and it went back.

so my laziness is actually beneficial? yay! I will try the coconut oil. I think it will work better than this expensive moisturizer I have.

Yup! I wash my face twice a week if that tells you anything :lol: And i have officially switched over to using coconut oil as my undereye moisturizer. I'd use it on my face but I'm still using up my moisture gel that i bought. Once that's gone I'll use the oil on my face. But i do use it on the rest of my body as well.

Coconut oil under the eyes? I'm going to have to try that. My under eye area is so sensitive and I already have tiny wrinkles. I try not to tug around my eyes too much. I seriously need a lesson in skin care. I keep it basic. Just wash my face with clean and clear and then some moisturizer. I don't wash my face often either and stick to makeup wipes as well. But I know there is some much out there that I should try.

I am surprised by how much I love Naked Bud. I want to find Snapdragon, but for a shade I won't wear often, I am not willing to dig. Has anyone seen it in their travels online recently?

I wash my face at night with mac's cremewash (i stocked up!) twice a week, and just use a wipe the other nights, whether I'm wearing makeup or not. Washing your face more than once a day makes you skin freak out, it strips your skin, and it makes it overproduce oil. Your skin becomes oilier, which makes you thunk you have oily skin, so you use products for that type of skin, which creates a mad cycle. Reducing the amount you wash your face let's your skin relax, and let's it self regulate, and your skin calms down and clears itself up a bit. As for coconut oil, it's just amazing! It does EVERYTHING! I even give it to the girls. Right now I'm using it to treat Dahlia's ear infection (anti fungal/bacterial) and i also feed it to them as well.

I'm so intrigued! So are some coconut oils better/purer than others?
You give it to the GIRLS as in THE GIRLS

I went to Macy's today and I love what my girl did! First she used the Prep and Prime CC in Recharge on certain parts of my face, mixed with a bit of Studio Fix Fluid and lightly dusted Illuminate over that. She did an ombre liner using the green pinwheel and Sassy Moss, on my cheeks she applied Petal Power (lightly) with some Perfect Topping over that. On the lips I'm wearing Fleur d'Coral. Pardon my cheesy smile but I really loved what she did
