My hair is as confused as I am. and half of it has fallen out. Hormones are a fickle, fair weathered friend... dang em!

ok, really? oh my! Oh pleeease, no more changes for me

I'm not sure how Hang Loose will show up on NC30ish - I would think ok, but will be light. It was fairly light for me so I used the 109. I like ITG ES although the pea green strip is a lil weird

I used it as a highlight, but it didn't really show up as much.

seems like all the MES aren't getting that much love. there isn't much buzz about them. i really love the texture. hoping to get one more next week. its not like they are selling out or anything.

I too want to get more MES b/c I love the satin texture of them. This was the first time I like the e/s applied dry.

The MES's that i got from this collection are:
Love to Love
Blue my Mind
Togetherness and
Making it Easy.

I love them all

Hi!

Has anyone with NC45 skin tried Creme d'Nude or Call My Buff lipsticks?? They look like great neutrals but I haven't had a chance to go to the store to check them out. Any feedback is appreciated!!!

 

[maddiesmom]

I got Hang Loose MB and was so excited to try it yesterday and it didn't even show up on me!

I am NW20-25 and I really piled it on just to see the effect. Maybe I will have to try elegant's idea of putting the purple shade on my eyes? Or maybe it will end up in my sales thread....

 

[peachsuns]

^ Which brush did you use? I used 129 and it showed up on me fine. Or try applying more pigmented pink side?

Hope it'll show up on you. It's a beautiful baby pink blush. I'm glad I bought it.

OK so I slept on it...I'm keeping Band of Roses. I used the darker side for eyeshadow with Patina and Mulled Cider and made a half way wearable look for daytime. I like the color pay off and will continue to use it as a shadow. I put the lighter side on my cheeks and put SR on top. Looks lovely.

Soften the Mood and Jazzed are going back this weekend...just couldn't make those work for me without adding loads of other things to them.

I'm between an NC45 and NC50 and Call My Bluff is a beautiful nude and I love it on. I put You've Got It on top to complete the lip look. Creme d' Nude is a bit too light to be a nude for my skin tone so I passed on it. I consider Fresh Brew to be more of a nude than Creme d' Nude when it comes to my skin tone.

i am so proud that i have only bought go for it from this collection, i plan to not buy anything til dare to wear, its so darn difficult though, the green mes is calling me

add a spray of fix+ to your brush and it will show up better

I have to say that i am in love with the MES's and the MB's from this collection. They are different (texture wise) from previous minerlize collections. They feel like a satin and have no shimmer. I think HT is the only MB that's a bit shimmery. But the rest all feel like a satin/matte and even when swatched you don't see any shimmer particles. They are really pigmented as well.

I hope your procedure goes well I heard you should eat lots of ice-cream afterwrads - that should be nice, yes?

Thank you, I am going to go to MAC on Friday and hopefully i'll be able to make my mind up then.

Oh and of course thank you for our well wishes and advice on Ice Cream, right now my jaw feels awful so Ice Cream wouldn't go admist at all.

It is one of the best makeup purchases I have made in a long time. I was afraid it would be too dark for my skin (NW15) but when I use a light hand it gives a great pop of color to my fair skin.

Band of Roses is by far my favorite thing from this collection!!

I love it and may back it up, which I never do for blush!!

Happy Together is gorgeous though and works very well. Fantastic! Love it!

And the Jazzed lipstick turns out to be very orange on my lips, nothing for me either. But I got See Sheer instead It's great that eveybody here enjoys their hauls so much! Your opinions are so interesting

I wanted A Little Bit of Sunshine because I wanted that dark, orange goodness! When I tried it on at the counter, it was light, brown, and disappointing! Not what I wanted so I left it behind.

It shows up a liiiittle bit more orangey than I would like on me

Still like it a lot though, I'm wearing it today.

Especially about the mes. I bought all 9 of them and the textures of all of them are great. The blushes are very nice too, although LBOS is quite glittery, but the rest are lovely. New Vibe is incredibly pigmented!

Has anyone tried it as an eyeshadow yet? I'm thinking I might try it.
