Now I am in search of a great gold e/s haha!

I bought Gorgeous Gold last week at the CCO...I so love this e/s to pieces!
I knew Brunette would look great on you...I luuurve it sooo

Isn't Blow Dry gonna show up at all? Even on unpigmented lips??
That's what everyone was saying about Pleasureseeker from Neo Sci Fi but it's pretty pigmented on me.

I have highly pigmented lips and blow dry shows up on me... it shows up even better if I use a nude colored lipstick dabbed on my lips before I apply blow dry. Pleasureseeker shows up on me as well, with no base needed.

I've been trying to find a good Gold e/s too. I was thinkin of either gettin gorgeous gold, goldmine or flip. Not sure which one. I went back to MAC today and picked up the 165 brush. This time I went with my BF so he knows I have the brush...but he still doesn't know I got the MSFs haha!

I don't have flip...But I love Gorg Gold, Goldmine and UD Baked ...all great golds for me

LOL about the BF too funny

Blow Dry shows up on me, but Pleasureseeker didnt. I have medium pigmented lips

Exactly. I dont know if I was using Fleshpot as a base when I got pleasureseeker, but I sold Pleasureseeker, cuz it didnt show up on me at all. But I use Fleshpot as a base for almost every lipstick or even just a gloss, and it makes everything show up. Sometimes I wonder how anyone could NOT use a lip eraser before their lipstick or gloss....most colors, I have to use an eraser. But sometimes, Fleshpot alters the color of my lippie.

It shows up on me, but not all that much. I have medium pigmented lips. I applied it fairly heavily too, but it looked more like a tinted balm than a lipstick. Red Devil on the other hand, being a gloss and all, showed up a lot more.

^^^ Same here

I definitely think Blonde is fairly pigmented, but I am still able to apply this with a regular cheek brush and use it over other blushes. Although, I am at least a couple shades darker in skintone, so that may explain why!

Picturing you with the shimmery metallic fever look. That sounds HOT!

My answer but more than a couple shades

Now that this collection has been out in the US for awhile and HK and some other stuff is coming out, do you feel like doing a mad dash and buying some last minute LE stuff? I didn't really love Flip and Pincurl but now that HK is soon coming out, I wonder if I need to run out and buy it just in case.

 

[coachkitten]

I still really want flip, henna, pincurl, and knight. I thought that it would pass but it haunts me everyday that I still have not gotten these. I don't know what I am waiting for but I just can't bring myself to go to the counter and get them.

 

[bellalune]

I know French Cuff isn't getting a lot of love here but...................

I went out and specifically bought Fresco Rose Paintpot to layer under French Cuff with 100 Strokes in the crease. I figured It would bring out the rosy tones in French cuff.

Well it did! Can I just say that I thought it looked pretty DARN FAB?!!! I wore this with redhead MSF, Marquise D L/S and Live and Dye L/G and I was feeling sorta sex-ay.

This is exactly what I go through every time a new collection comes out and the reason why I stopped reading the discussion threads but here I am. I haven't bought anything from BBR yet but have been eyeing the 226, since I have a small crease. And after reading this thread, I feel like I have to get brunette msf now >_< I'll have to wait and see how long my will power will last. I think I'm going to cave and buy the 226 very soon though.

You actually sound more sane than the rest of us!

 

[clslvr6spd]

Katie, if anything I would get pincurl.

 

[MrsMay]

well... I am still waiting for BBR to launch in Australia... apparently it should launch next week

 

[cupcake123]

Not mad at all, I'm wondering if I'll be able to skip HK. I think I want just because it's HK. I'll probably just get 1 l/g or 1 l/s.
