Oh no!! That's horrible.

I've heard of some people getting creative with their shattered MSFs - maybe get an empty sifter jar and use it from there? You won't be able to get the individual strips of color but don't let it go to waste!

You know. I would just cry and mourn for the dear MSF and then start picking up the pieces (literally!) and putting them into a jar for use as loose powder.

*hugs* I hope you're feeling better already! I know what you mean about the poor student budget, because I'm a student too. MAC addiction doesn't come cheap.

Ohh I'm sorry to hear that

Ask around and check if you can press MSF

No, you can't press MSFs. They are baked.

So yeah. I definitely think if you need to pick on, just get Redhead.

i'm liking the look of henna but don't know if it's worth it as i have a colour very similar and also b babe but not sure how much wear i'll get out of it.

my lipstick and eyeshadow collection are medium sized i'd say so therefore i really don't need anymore. i want both msf's though because i don't have any msf's and these look like they have nice textures to them and pretty colours. and strawberry blonde looks very pretty so i'm not even debating that one!

When I look at swatches of Redhead, I am surprised that it isn't darker. It seems more like a highlight, sort of like Light Flush, whereas Brunette and Blonde seems like they could be used as blushes. Am I wrong? I don't think I need another peachy highlighter, I have Light Flush already. Might just get the Blonde one... but then there was this photo of a fair person who looked awesome in the Brunette MSF! What to do, what to do...

Rbella, I forgot to tell you I joined the Rbella fanclub on Facebook without being invited. I love your wedding photo!

You are quite welcome, my dear beauty. Please become used to it. You are a Specktra family member. We don't keep each other from buying, we encourage it!!!

Well thank you, dear. You could rock a potato sack, so ha!! I'll be wearing an eco-friendly bag over my head to my open houses today so as not to be politcally unaware.

I'm not even gonna lie to you coconut, this is the most horrible thing I've ever heard. I would seriously be in bed for the next week with visitors. I will be wearing full black today so I can mourn for you.

That was blind, she looked awesome in brunette. It didn't look too good on me. I'm NW 20 with darkish blonde hair.

I was wondering the same about Redhead and Light Flush. But in the swatches, they do look quite different. I think I might consider Redhead if it is still around later b/c I love blonde and this seems like a good match for me as well.

My Blonde MSF is definitely dark enough to be used as blush and highlighter on my skin. I swipe my 187 across all 4 colors to use as blush, then I swirl it in the lighter two colors and put on the apples of my cheeks for highlight. So pretty!!

You are so sweet! But remember, it is my husband's fan club!! You may friend him if you like, he LOVES talkin' to the ladies!!! He and Jenn are so close now!! (Adina, don't get jealous, you know he loves you).

Thanks for the compliment on my dress. I really did love that thing. What a great night that was!!!

That sounds great about Blonde. I am usually partial to peachy blushes for some reason, I could use a pinkish one for a change!

I meant to write "Mr Rbella fanclub" - my fingers are faster than my brain sometimes. Well, most of the time, since my brain isn't very fast at all ATM, it seems.

I may friend your hubby - then he can say he's pals with a Swedish girl. He is welcome to lie and say I am a 6' stewardess with D-cups and long blonde hair. And that my name is Inga.

Don't get backups of the 2 MSF's, instead save your money & get the ones coming out with the sugar sweet collection!

 

[blindpassion]

coconut, you could always exchange that msf if you have the receipt - I think.

With so many new MSFs coming out (Sugar Sweet & Grand Duos), you might as well wait for those to be launched. They last a long long time anyway, so I don't think you'll need backups.

And yay for Team Wait! We should have a smiley for that too, because I'll forever be on the team.

Although it kinda sucks when everyone else have moved on to a new collection but I'm still waiting for it to be launched.

Rbella, I think you need the Redhead MSF, it's a bit more coppery than Light Flush, which in turn is more pink. I gotta have all the MSF's, I just love them.

Thanks so much for this! I have Light Flush, and prefer it to the redhead based on these swatches.

OMG, no you did not !!!! Boooo shame on you!!! lol

I've been on ebay lately, because i wanted to buy some dazzleglasses to make me wait until BBR... but i didn't find what i want...

Yes, i could order them online, but the French retail price is

and of course there is no CCO here !!! Come on, why are they only in UK? Anyone wants to join me for the "open CCOs in Europe, dammit !!!!" cause?

Sad story

It's one of my worst nightmare.. but:

Enkore has a video on mineralize pressing:
YouTube - MINERALIZED Pressing

I think you can save your MSF using that if you have face and body mixing medium and you crush your MSF in powder and do the same as in the video. You'll need to depot a pan to bake it tho... hope this will help you

be strong
