Yes I ended up buying the Recharged CC and the Illuminate compact. I think the orange-y peachyness of recharge is good for my semi dull skin. Thanks again!

Coconut oil is amazing! I use it to take my eye makeup off at night. And use it to moisturize! I buy it in the big old tubes as well

I also use it in my tea. i put a tablespoon full in and drink it before i eat. it fills me up faster, makes my skin amazing, and i go to the bathroom more regularly and its good for your metabolism. i have a friend who is a personal trainer he taught me about it and it works. i havent been doing it much lately, but im gonna get back on top of that. it jus has to be raw organic cold pressed so all the enzymes are still active. i got my sis and dad doing it. great for cooking too.

Jumping in on the oil discussion because I'm just starting to test the waters with a few different oils for my skin. Coconut oil is unfortunately not on my list because I can't stand the smell of coconut! If anyone has any other oil suggestions though, I'll happily add them to my "to try" list.
On topic, I have used my Lily White pigment a different way almost every day since I got it. Seriously in love!

Also jojoba oil is great its the oil that is closest to what our bodys make so its the perfect ph balance and absorbs really well. fantastic for hot oil treatment for your hair too.

Coconut oil literally works on everything internally and externally, on people and pets. It's awesome stuff! Like i said, it's antibacterial, anti-fungal, and it's also anti-yeast. I also use it as a styptic, to shave, hair mask, and i use it on my dogs skin (labs are prone to skin issues). I use it for everything!

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
Loveeeeeeee.....very beautiful

It should be organic and cold pressed raw. that means when the oil is being processed they do not use heat, which cooks out the natural enzymes which are healthy and necessary. If you go to health food stores they have it. or also supplement stores. I know you can buy it from beauty supply stores but its way overpriced.

So after all was said and done I had decided to return my PT's ( one I bought and replacement) you have to send both back for a refund. Even though the PT's I received were pretty I just didn't need a beige highlighter as I knew i'd not use it. So I called MAC to return them and purchased snapdragon and rose Lily in it's place. Both lipsticks arrived and I love them both... But today out of nowhere I get a package from MAC. This is what was inside...
What? Why? Weird... So I called them and them lady laughed and said she had no idea why I was sent 3. I wasn't charged for them and she said to keep them as she didn't even know how to process them as they weren't paid for. She said they would just damage them out if I returned them. They are totally different from what I had last time and swatch a light peachy color, not beige. Here is a pic of an open one...
Other strange things have happened today but this was the funniest. I really really like the new ones that I have received but feel guilty they weren't paid for. Pretty much paid MAC $30 and got 3 MSF's and 2 lipsticks. This is not helping in my low buy department. Lol Maybe I can swap one for a studio rose somewhere.
They just want to get rid of those frikkin things already, no matter how.
It was a MSF blessing, enjoy them! I wouldn't mind getting some for free either.
