Ladies, I am so so so excited! I went to a counter wanting to buy a face primer, but my MA was there and well, one thing led to another and she ended up bringing out the whole BBR display set for me to play with the testers (although she was having some fun swatching them herself
).
She told me that there were very limited stock for this collection, so I placed orders for:
Blow Dry l/s
All's Fair l/s
Strawberry Blonde l/g
Red Devil l/g
Quick Tease l/g
All 3 MSFs
...Which is gonna cost me about SGD$280
I'm uncertain about whether I should add B-Babe and the brushes to my list. And do I really need all 3 MSFs? The money issue is quite worrying because I'm just a poor student.

B-Babe is so not me. I'm not a fan of frosts or pale/light pinks, and B-Babe is all that.
Is it kinda similar to Angel l/s?
I wanted the face brush (165?), it looked so cute. Hehe. Is it good for contouring?

I went to the Robinsons counter. My MA is there, she's nice and super friendly, plus her blending skills is
. Ok off topic, but I love the way she does her eyes.
BBR is only gonna retail on friday or saturday, but they've already got the display set and some stock. Strangely, the Redhead MSF wasn't sent there.
I don't own any MSFs yet, which of the 3 should I remove from my list? Advice, anyone?

^^ I love the 165. Definitely the best contour brush I've used! I also skipped the Blonde MSF...didn't show up well enough on my skin.

Aww. The 165 is such a cute brush, isn't it? When I heard it was a contour brush I was expecting to see something a little bigger than that. Great to hear that it's works well for contouring!
Blonde looks like it'll be good for highlighting pink blushes though. Brunette was quite pigmented and had a nice rosy-brown/bronze look IMO, but my MA didn't really like it though.

Strawberry Blonde and Red Devil are definitely the highlight of this collection, IMO. When we swatched it, even my MA was drooling.

I find if I fill my lips in with a cremestick and then top it with lipstick and NO gloss, it last for a damn long while. I'm very much a low-maintenance makeup girl once I've put it on my face. I don't even like to blot. Actually, I hate it.

If B-Babe is not your style, don't get it. As for the MSFs, don't predecide which two to get. Swatch them all and decide for yourself what you like best and will get the most use out of.

Really? That is good news.
Oh well, my stuff is safe coz I've already pre-ordered it at my counter anyhow.
Samantha - Ok I'd listen to your advice. I guess I was too dizzy with excitement when I saw the products to be thinking straight.

If you're worried about going overboard, take cash in the exact amount of the most you'll allow yourself.
Much as this sounds crazy around here, it IS just makeup, and you CAN live without having all of it.
