Thank you so much! That is exactly what I am looking for

Purrtykitty, That's what color my hair is now!! I have naturally brown hair, and have been golden blonde with highlights for a long time. For the past 3 yrs my mom, who was a supervisor, got harassed by someone of higher authority- she was even getting threatening calls. When she finally couldn't put up with it she put a complaint- then she's the one that gets demoted!!!!!! My mom had her position for 15 yrs and this guy comes in and just takes everything away from her. It's been really tough on our family and things aren't getting better. I'm married, but I try and go visit her as often as I can, but I wish I could be with her 24/7. She now suffers from depression and speaks to a therapist weekly. I hope karma bites him in the ass!

Well, my point of this is that my mom and I always got our hair done together- that was our thing! After this happened, she is now making HALF of what she was making before. So we've been buying the boxes to color our own hair. And my roots were really bad- even my dad said my hair was aweful and when that happens- then it's REALLY bad

. So this weekend I figured I had to color my hair brown and get it all in one color and start fresh. Well I ended up getting one that said "chocolate brown" and now my hair is BLACK!!!! lol

 

[purrtykitty]

^^Yep, mine started as chocolate brown and I went to black-brown, which I really loved. But so many times of dying it black-brown over and over, it was just black and it was just too harsh. So I stripped my hair to blonde. I'm naturally dark blonde anyway. I'll likely go back to chocolate brown again, maybe lean a little more toward auburn, since that goes well with my freckles. The chocolate brown warms up my skin much more and really brings out my light eyes. The blonde with my skin tone - I kinda just look all one color.

I just don't want to look like a walkin eggplant

 

[elegant-one]

oooh, I like Lilac 89!

 

[purrtykitty]

Yeah, those are very much red-based purples. You'd need a blue-based purple to look like an eggplant.

out of the two liners i got, naked and in synch, i prefer naked! it goes with every lipstick i own because i really does look like my flesh! and as Audrey said - it's weird because it makes me look like i have no lips. i have just tried bubblegum lipstick over this and it looks great!

I got Two Virtues, Sun & Moon and Bi-Tone (kinda also for the name

) and wore Bi-Tone today. Man, they are seriously pigmented.
I

Sun & Moon and Bi-Tone, but not sure about Two Virtues, it's a new blush colour for me.

I also loved Buddy Up, but on me it was too red and too pigmented. Does anyone know if the lighter shade in Buddy Up looks like another MB before?
TIA

I, too, have full cheeks and oily skin, but I can still be sucked in by the right color!
I've been looking and looking for the perfect violet/lilac blush, and just bought Makeup For Ever's Blush Powder #89, and love it, but now I'm also loving the looks of Two Virtues!

I keep telling myself, "It's really the same thing," but I don't know ...

I also keep telling myself that I don't need to spend close to $50 on purple blush!
But they're so pretty ...

Two Virtues is the one that's giving me hissy fits!
I just bought MUFE #89, a beautiful lilac/orchid, but I still find myself wanting Two Virtues!

Somebody save me from myself, please!

 

[only1angel]

Hubby's taking me to get my goodies now!!!!

I'm SOOO excited! I'll report back here with swatches in a few hours!

I bought rhapsody in two blush and the naked liner. I was happy to see that it swatched really well on my skin, tons of peachy/pink pigment. I can definitely see this layered on top of a blush and used alone on "less makeup" days. It looked great on my light and cool skin. It was funny trying on the naked liner because it looked like I had no lips. I found it ever so slightly creamier than the permanent lip liners MAC has.
I can definitely see richer lusher selling out with the warmer toned girls. Such a gorgeous color!

You should totally have both, why wouldn't ya?

I just got my package and can't even BEGIN to say how in love I am with Naked and In Synch liners. I feel like I've been looking for these liner colors my whole life. Seriously. Just Superb is very nice too, but the stars of my package are definitely the liners. Two Virtues...the jury is still out as I have blush on atm and only tried it on my hand. On my hand it does not seem like it will be too sparkly at all, but I am not overly impressed with the color, seems like it'll be a pretty typical bright pink. Hopefully I'll like it more on my cheeks. But those liners...I just love them, and they are very much more creamy than any of the other MAC pencil liners I have.

I feel much better now, as the last thing I need, or even want, is another bright pink blush.

Girl how did you get your hair blond so quickly?? I have always had a heck of a time going blond after dying my hair black or brown. The first time I was in the salon for 5 hours and it cost me nearly $300 (he was a good stylist, actually was on the first season of shear genius!), and it was still orangey. Then this past summer, my stylist wouldn't go straight blond and was just slowly lightening it but I finally got so impatient that I dyed it dark again!

she also told me to not bleach it for at least one year...so I dunno what to do w my hair!

But on the note of this collection, I am heading over to Belk in the next couple hours hoping to snag in synch ll and naked ll. But from the way you ladies are describing naked I'm half tempted to get a back up! I have been using fleshpot as somewhat of a lip erase for the past while-- it always allows colors to show up more true on my lips. But a pencil just sounds perfect. And truly I have been hoping for this liner for years now! Anyways I will let you know my thoughts in a bit!

Well that is really good to hear! Now I'm realllly glad Audrey talked me right into ordering another Naked liner. My first order is coming tomorrow...i cannot wait to see them all.

(Yikes! I haven't checked the Spring Colour Forecast in about a week - I can't imagine the pages I've missed.. now this!)

You girls are killing me with the Naked liner. Before I even looked in this thread, I immediately wanted In Synch and Naked.

Since it's just a couple of lip liners, I thought I'd be okay waiting until end of April to snag the two of them.. Now I'm not so sure. Uh oh, another LE to consider breaking my no-buy.
