they are there until they sell out. you can't put a time frame on it.

and you might not want to make that info public, cause its against company policy for people to use their employee discount on stuff that isn't for them, and they can get fired for that. so, you might wanna rethink that so you don't put his job in jeopardy.

Re: Beauty Powder Blush Discussion

Ahh cool, I didn't know that ..bearing in mind there are quite a few male MAC SA's in NY and I have no intention of saying where hubby works, it'd be kinda hard to work out anything out.

Cheers for the heads up anyway though.

Re: Beauty Powder Blush Discussion

I bought True Romantic and Shy Beauty and I'm NC30-35. I had the MA try SB on me and I instantly fell in love with it. If I had to go back and buy more of the BPB's, I'd prolly get Joyous, Sweetness and Secret Blush.

Re: Beauty Powder Blush Discussion

I was wondering - how would you describe Evresun and (or. VS) Sunbasque blush? They look very similar, but the Sunbasque seems to have more shimmer to it. I'm looking for something for summer, and I'm NW 20, for reference.

Thanx

Re: Beauty Powder Blush Discussion

ok I believe you, you've seen them in person. On picture swatches seemed that sunbasque is more glittery. What aout the colour? Which would do you like more or which one would you recoment for NW 20?

Oh I have brown eyes and dark beown hair if it helps

I prefer and recommend Eversun. I even wear it today.

That's so strange, I'm on the complete otherside of Susanne's review! For me Sunbasque has definite shimmer/frost whereas Eversun has just enough to make the cheeks glow. Even comparing Peachtwist to Eversun the lack of frost on the beauty powder blush is obvious.

Because of the frost tho, Sunbasque looks lighter than Eversun when applied.

If I had to choose one or the other it'd be Eversun. It's easy to sheer out or build up, and one can easily add shimmer.

Re: Beauty Powder Blush Discussion

So in the hopes of scrounging up enough B2M empties for Heatherette, I decided to depot my BPBs. Feeling was done perfectly...but O M G...I depotted Joyous and I nearly cried...it cracked!

It didn't even crack into two half circles...it cracked into 2 deli thin slices I should have just left it in the pot

Re: Beauty Powder Blush Discussion

I want something more peachy and coral. I made swatches in the swatch forum if you want to check those out.

HI! Actually, I need to update my "location"...I moved up to the bay area a few months ago. I miss San Diego area though!!

As for you....you bought Sweetness and Serenely? Ahh!! Now I need them toooo..haha. I kinda feel like you about Joyous -- I dn't know if' I'll feel complete without those two. LOL.

Thanks for the swatches -- I'll go check them out.

How awful! Has anyone else had this problem?

Re: Beauty Powder Blush Discussion

Yes, I bought Joyous and it completely fell apart...so I had to rebuy it! Maybe it's something about that color that makes it a little more brittle, because I bought Sweetness and True Romantic and neither of them cracked during depotting.

Re: Beauty Powder Blush Discussion

I'm NC15 (which is sometimes even too dark for me), with dark brown hair.. Will Eversun be too dark for me? I was planning to use Eversun as a bit of a bronzer, to give my cheeks a bit of a sunkissed look.

What would be a good colour for me? I only wear neutral colours, and don't want a blush that is too noticeable..

The nearest MAC store is 3 hours away, or I'd go ask someone there, lol.

You can use Eversun as a bronzer, but for a more neutral look I would recommend Shy Beauty for you.

Re: Beauty Powder Blush Discussion

i bought feeling and im gonna return it. i applied it, and it was like...bright plum on me. I didnt want a bright, pinky plum, i wanted a regular raisin-y plum. I had to wipe it off and apply something over it to take away the brightness so i didnt look like a clown

Re: Beauty Powder Blush Discussion

i was wondering if anyone had swatches for sweetness along with dresscamp Pink.

both looks a tad the same to me. What do u guys think?

i think dresscamp pink has more silvery shimmers? and sweetness is like bright blue pink?

i am thinking of getting a pinky blusher as most of my blusher is orangy/coral colour. I am NC25. ><

i wanted shy beauty but i read the comments and some said it works more like highlighter? i dun need a highlighter as i have my Guerlian meteorites ><

Please help babes!

I am NC 25 too and I love Shy Beauty! It is really more a blush than a highlighter.

You can apply more to contour your cheeks. I use brush 129.
