XD Lucky you babe! I've heard of some people breaking out really badly.

I wore studio fix too and that didn't work out well for me at all but cause everyone's been talking about stereo rose and the works... so oh man.

I've also heard from someone who used to break out from them that she's ok now if she applies a thin layer of tea tree oil before using them. I could see how that could work too, if you're not sensitive to tea tree oil.

Thanks for the tip dear! I might try that out... Oh man, looks like I'll definitely be getting all of the msfs. >_<

I agree! I don't use my Sunny By Nature as a bronzer but, because there is no shimmer, I have used it as an all over face powder.

I heard that the lightest Korres Monoi one is the best for fair skins, it's peachy toned.

I feel the exact same way! I actually like the pale look over the super tan one, at least for me. Although, I am half hispanic, but I look like my dad does. Like I am from Arkansas or Texas....... But, moving on, power to pale!

 

[Momolovesmac]

from previous release, is it difficult to find a Petticoat that is lightly veined?

 

[InspiredBlue]

Lou, and any other that have trouble making bronzers work, I'd recommend trying Bare Escentuals Warmth. It's like a very finely milled loose powder bronzer, that you can apply just a tiny amount of to make it look like you've caught some sun on the areas of your face that naturally tan first.

I've long ago stopped using the rest of BE's products and moved on to other mineral makeup brands, but Warmth is the only thing I still use every day. And it lasts forever too - I still have the smaller sized jar that I got with my BE starter kit in 2006.

I can't believe that In the Groove will be here so soon. I don't really know if I want anything. I guess I will have to go and swatch and play a little with the collection, because nothing is a must have for me from pictures so far.

Feeling like the "odd man out" - but I just don't get the fervor over the MSFs. I mean, they are pretty, but I guess I don't find them "amazing". I have one (Light Flush) and reach for it only very occasionally.

 

[Susanne]

That is totally fine

I don't own one single paints

 

[LMD84]

yup! we all like different things

for me i love pigments most and msf's

 

[Boasorte]

Don't like MSFs, paintpots,Dazzle/lipglasses....

I think I found a way to dupe the purple lipstick from this collection ( it is this collection, right?)

Blooming Lovely + Night Violent Mattene = A true purple

No, my Petticoat is lightly veined. I wish it had more veining.

We all just need to learn to love our skintones because we're all beautiful

 

[Tat2dbeauty07]

I wish the 8th was coming sooner in a way but yet Im kinda glad I got time to squeeze one more paycheck in before the collection arrives.

Have you tried the Soleil Tan Bronzing Base by Chanel (it's cream to powder, matte and buildable and you can apply as sheer as you want) or the Soleil Tan Poudre in Terre d'Or or Desert Coral (these are pressed powders and very sheer)? Maybe you should try a colored loose powder a couple shades darker than your own, as well!!

Hope I helped!!

I totally agree!!

I believe beauty relies in variety and uniqueness!! The true beauty really comes from within, when we embrace who we truly are!!

Warmed has more peachy/gold/champagne color to it (sorry I had to put so many colors there as it's hard to actually pinpoint the one color that makes it look different). I really love using Warmed as a blush, but I don't think I'll use Comfort as a blush any time soon. Just my personal opinion! Now, on to the swatches... COMFORT - WARMED Look at the amazing sheen that Warmed has, I swear it's not metallic looking at all. You can see how much browner Comfort is, even without the light reflecting off Warmed's sheen. Hope that helped some of you! Off to post these in the swatch thread now.

thanks winne this was definitely helpful.

I hope not! I want this lipstick to show up on me as a more intense shade, similar to Violetta in pigmentation. Orchidazzle makes my pigmented lips just that--orchid. I'm looking for purple. Not lavender, not orchid, but a true purple or pure violet.
