I've been seeing a lot of tuts where the girls put the really shimmery shades right underneath the brow, right against the hairs and then work another not so in your face shade as the rest of the highlight. Maybe this way you might find love for your Shroom....

I've noticed that as well - a bit disconcerting as you feel like you've wasted - not one, but two or three applications with your actual one application. Which always means you'll run through these faster than you think!

It must be that they use less ingredients to bind these products due to the manufacturing process.

Actually, doesn't NARS pride themselves on this very fact of less fillers? ...or is that some other cosmetic brand?

Hmmm?

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie and I'd appreciate a little bit of help

Could anyone tell me if the Dame Edna 'Possum nose pink' l/g & the BBR 'Strawberry blonde' l/g are almost the same shade or are they quite different? To me they look almost the same but I haven't seen them in person...

Which brush/blush do you use with the Blonde MSF? I have it and I feel like it doesn't really do much for me even though I'm blonde. It seems really shimmery too, more so than So Ceylon, which I don't really like. I use the 182 cause that's the only decent face brush I have! Maybe I should get the 165?

If you can, try and get the 187. It is my favorite brush for MSFs

In fact, A MAC mua once told me the 187 was originally designed to be used with MSFs - can anybody confirm this?

No, they are not alike. PNP is a light orange/pink/coral with lots of shimmer. SB is darker - a pink red...like a strawberry.

HTH

I did get my goodies, and sadly my order was not messed up. Oh, well - can't win 'em all.

Rbella you are so loved! Between your dear hubby and your friends, I'm so glad you got some stuff from BBR!

Blind - you are so freakin' gorgeous...you now have me crossing my fingers that Brunettes will show up at CCOs along with the shadows I want (I already spent my moneys for this month

).

And finally, my dear Adina - you look fabulously gorgeous as always! I had a hard time finding your boobage in that dress, though!

I missed you all, too, very much!

Next time I take a sudden hiatus...just assume I'm dead in a ditch somewhere and call the authorities!

You all are like family!

Have to say, though, I'm still having bugaboos with the new Specktra site!

I have to get off my tookus and email Janice as soon as I'm able to articulate, exactly, what's wrong. I have a whole laundry list!
