I'm NW15/20 with dark brown hair and green eyes and I LOVE it!! It's not too pink or orange, which can look like a hot mess on me. I really think it's perfect for spring, and super pretty blended out. Check it out!

OMG, now I have to go back and swatch Garb.

I thought I was safe ignoring it (not my color, blah blah), but if it's a lighter Strada...I HAVE to check it out!

On the few people I have seen Garb on, it looks so good. I bought it but, it's going back. It does not even show up on me.

It's not even close to Possum Nose Pink, IMO. Possum Nose Pink is way redder and definitely a lot sheerer with more obvious sparkle. F&T is very creamy with shimmer and leans much more coral. I wouldn't describe is as a "fiery orange-red", at least on me. It's like a gloss version of Made to Order.

As kpenn said, F&T is nowehere near Possum Nose Pink. PNP is sheer red-pink. F&T is creamy coral. Not fiery orange-red either. I think Red Devil is a bit darker and more red than F&T.
I had originally planned to post comparison swatches after I got F&T, but I skipped F&T and got Made to Order instead!!

Stop me, please!

It is totally not like twinks. twinks is brown. CTF is red/bronze i say its like antiqued, but lighter.

I'm posting a few days late since we haven't been able to go online at home for the last week!

I went over to the MAC store on Friday armed with enough empties for four items! I was actually pleasantly surprised with this collection. I ended up with Gazette Grey (looove, the grey I've been waiting for!), Dressmaker, Dressmaker l/s, Tissue Weight e/s and Coral Crepe pp. I wasnt' overly impressed with Tissue Weight at first, but fell in love with it over Coral Crepe. I also ended up getting Almondine l/g (Spring forecast?). It was one satisfying haul

! I can't wait to try it all out! We've been crazy busy the last week, so I've been leaving the house with only some blush and mascara, but my new goodies will be the first to try out once things settle down!!!

I picked up Instant Chic blush yesterday... I'm an NW15/20 (more on the 15 scale right now). It shows up pretty good on me, I really really like it.

 

[purrtykitty]

So, apparently I've tapped into some awesome willpower, because again, I was good! I've been on a (food) diet, and maybe that willpower has trickled over to makeup, too. Hmmm...

Anyhoo, as I was saying, I got only Tissueweight and Gazette Grey (and Zinc Zone GPS). Everything from the last two collections was still in stock (and nearly everything from Art Supplies), so I figured since I have such a small list for To The Beach, I'll wait until then, and if the items I want are still there, I'll just get them with my TTB haul. I seem to spend wayyyy less with this method. Plus, it tends to cure the "hyped-items" syndrome.

Any shipping codes ladies?

My Instant Chic just arrived! I think I'll play with it and my new shadows tomorrow!

 

[shontay07108]

I'm loving the Instant Chic love.

Think I'm about to put in an order. So many decisions, so little money.

I know I'm getting brown, now GPS but I'm trying to decide if I need Bamboo, if I should get Tissueweight (

), another 217. Ugh, too many choices!

 

[shimmergrass]

YAY!

I hope you love it! I must say, everytime I see your new avatar, I mean to post... LOVE your new hair. New hair, new makeup.... ready for summer!

Is Memorabilia e/s close to color and/or texture of Purple Haze e/s?

I thought I already had Memorabilia but can't seem to locate it. And while going through my palettes Purple Haze caught my eye and it seemed similar.

 

[shontay07108]

Alright, I've been wearing my Opulash mascara along with the darker Chromagraphic pencil and I must say this pencil fades disappointingly. It has almost completely disappeared. It settled in the outer corner of my eye and along the rest of the waterline it looks like I didn't clean my eyes when I got up this morning.

If this is worth your trouble, I say carry the pencil with you to reapply b/c you will need it. I've only been wearing this for about 5 hours.

 

[AudreyNicole]

Oh, I forgot. I am wearing Juxt e/s on the lid, Gazette Grey in the crease, Shroom to highlight and in the inner corner, and New Weed Fluidline. So pretty! I am finding Gazette Grey to be quite versatile.
