Me, too!!Spite is such a beautiful shade I hope the new gloss smells better!
:lol:Betcha $5 it won't be.
It goes very well with your hair, great combo and pretty makeup !
VGR2 is darker, but I skipped it because of the similarity to Icon. If I had fallen in love with Icon more than I did then I think I would definitely be able to justify both, though. I just didn't really love it. You look absolutely stunning in VGR2, though!So I had a dream last night that I went to swatch in store and they were out of Icon (the only one I was curious about). So of course I went to the counter today. Of course.. my dream was rightbut I ended up walking out with Pink Cult. I was looking for something like that that would go okay with my vampy lipsticks. I don't feel too bad considering it was a hole in my stash.
I'm starting to have a lemming for Icon... but I've heard VGR2 is close and I'm planning on BU'ing that so not sure I need both.
Thanks will def be getting next to skin. Taupe looks more brown. I have never used a brown or orange as contour, it has never looked good on me.From what I can tell, Next To Skin is the most perfect contour shade for NC/NW20 and lighter. It is so natural, the shade name is just on point. Try telling me Benefit Hoola is such a great, natural shade for contouring ever again. That stuff is straight up orange. Next to Skin is going to fit every undertone, not just someone pink or yellow (I'm an NC20 and I can't wear NARS Contour Blush in Olympia, it is so pink in tone, it makes me look sick). It is neutral and that is the great thing about this blush. It looks very pale and gray in the pan though, don't let that fool you. I'm not sure why some people lighter than NC/NW20 have problems with it showing up. I'd recommend reading Temptalia's review, she is absolutely right. I swatched Next To Skin and Taupe on my hand after applying a layer of MAC Pro Longwear Foundation in NC20 first. I tried making this test as scientific as possibleBoth blushes were applied using a Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush, just because I wanted them to appear as vibrant as possible. Taupe is on the left, Next To Skin on the right

yayy!!My Spite lipglass replacement arrived today. The smell is definitely much better than the last. It still smells different than what I'm used to with MAC, but at least this one smells usable! For how long, though, I don't know...
Yes I agreeFrom what I can tell, Next To Skin is the most perfect contour shade for NC/NW20 and lighter. It is so natural, the shade name is just on point.

Specktra turned me into a makeup addict too! :hug:Wow, you guys and this forum turn(ed) me into a make up addict :haha: Just last year I owned about 1 lipstick (Clinique), now I've got 22 MAC lippies. I never thought I would wear blush or do something like contouring about some months ago. Now I own NTS and just got my first MAC brush. I am even thinking of buying a BU of NTS. :sigh:![]()
