Lol he can't fool you with that then can he? "You know the color wheel buddy! Now should I go with the yellow based red, or the blue based red."
LOL it's so true though we did one of those test online that you sort colors by hue and shade. He got like 98% so he know he just turns off when it comes to makeup haha

Awes. That's so sweet of him! I love seeing and reading posts on reddit of the vanity setups gifted by supportive boyfriends. The world needs more supported SOs.

We really do! When you find a guy like that it's like a needle in a haystack. I love seeing pictures of what everyone's SO's have done for them with vanitys,displays and storage.

You ladies crack me up. I'm going to take a nap now so I can be up later and watch the frenzy take place. I'm gonna wait until the 19th when it's online to order from Nordstrom so I can use my card and not pay up-front right away. I really really hate their shipping but since the release date for Nordies changed to match their anni sale it interferes with my work schedule and I know I'd miss out.

i'm actually just trying bronzers too!! i think i am going with AS, because i swatched golden in store and it didn't seem pigmented at ALL, and refined golden was too dark and yellow (i posted a pic a few.. or like a million now.. pages back)
I'm so pale, I don't really want sun, but maybe a little warmth will be nice. I love my NARS Olympia counter duo and it has a little bronzer/contour shade.

Aww. I know that feel. I've been getting eye rolls from the SO when I bring up this collection and how excited I am for it. I told him I've been really good. I haven't purchased any makeup in like two weeks now.

I love hearing about all the supportive husbands and boyfriends out there! My husband is always super supportive of my love of makeup. He turned an old desk into a vanity for me, and he learns the names of my products and notices when I'm wearing them. Love it!
My guy does too! He's always asking me about which collections I'm going for, offers to help me stalk the website (that's how I snagged Hoop), and asking which color is that. He even knows some by color. I think it helps that he has his addictions too (Star Wars toys, Magic cards, etc. - although I'm guilty of Magic cards now because of him). He just bought a fancy lightsaber and a jedi costume for Portland ComicCon and Halloween. Love that guy

I am currently using both. I start out with Illamasqua Hollow cream pigment, and I layer Mac Sculpting powder (that I just got in the Maleficent collection) over that.
Sounds gorgeous I've heard nothing but good things about hollow. I have the tom ford shade/illuminate duo and it's pure magic, Just not wallet friendly that's for sure.

Haha, I'll bet! I don't own any Tom Ford products, but I hear the quality is amazing.

I'm still on the hunt for the perfect matte or satin finish highlighter for my skintone. I love shimmer, but I don't like using it so much on my nose pores.

I told my self originally that I was just going to stick with a couple of lip products (now I want ALL the lipsticks), but as I see and hear more about AS, I want it too. It's a hard life being a makeup addict.
I know, right??!!! I keep looking at AS and thinking, well maybe ... But definitely the lipsticks. Maybe all of them. Because I'm a lipstick hoarder and I need more. (yeah right)

Awww that's so awesome! My bf did that for me when that black friday urban decay deal was going on and I was at work all day. He works from home so I'm able to use that to my advantages ;)
