office hours

So I tried my goodies and Stubborn blush is really beautiful, matte and soft but not chalky. It gives me a fresh look, a pinky plum flush. If you have olive skin, get it! It will be a must this fall.

I tried Fashion Fix and Ever Ivory too. They work best over a base, because they are sheer and might not stick well on the skin.

Ever Ivory is sheer but not patchy. You'll get a very soft light cream colour, very natural. If you want an opaque white, this one isn't for you. In my opinion, it's not a must have but in a way everyone need an off white eye shadow. This is just not my favorite, I prefer Brule or Black Type. It's nice on the brow bone though.

Fashion Fix is a cool toned medium grey. It's matte and silky, not chalky. It will be nice for a neutral everyday look, in the crease with an off white on the lids. It's easy to work with, blend, etc. It's more blue based (less yellow-green) than Coquette. The pigmentation isn't the best, but it might be great for someone who prefer softer shades.

I'll def consider that! Thanks for the suggestion. I'm also glad it's perm! I'm going to B2M for Mehr and Double Shot, I'll have to check out BT when I make the trip to my local store and maybe add that to my bag

another vote for BT. I think that's my most fave highlighter...matte2 finish too which I miss

Thank you for the review PrettyKitty!

That sounds all very nice and I can not wait to get my goodies.

It seems as if these PLW e/s do really have another texture with a more natural finish.
I am curious to see if all the eyeshadows are like these 2.

More Amour looks super pretty

But I think that I will use it only as a blush!

I am seriously worried that I bought EI online. Shoot. I had high hopes.

Is it too translucent for your taste? I actually like that it is not completely opaque.

I've just bought Rosy Outlook blush from this collection so far.
At first when I saw it I thought it would be similar to Lovecloud but I'm so glad it isn't
On the cheeks it looks unbelievably natural and really shows well on the cheeks.
I haven't tested it for wear yet, I'm a bit annoyed that I had to pay for the same weight as the normal mac blushes




This is the nearest to the actual colour I could get.

Yesterday I've tried the eyeshadows but they looked quite sheer..
I've received for free Whole lotta love (it was a blogger's event.. I'll post swome pictures and swatches on my blog in few days) but the one I really liked is Stay By me!!!
Between the glosses Persisten peach is really lovely, it just settles a bit into lip lines!

Getting annoyed at the lack of swatches for this collection. I don't know why Temptalia is taking so long this time. I'm still undecided on everything and I wanna be able to get the limited edition stuff in case it sells out.

This is how I feel to. And what I did order has been pending since wednesday night.

MAC has been pretty screwed up with their orders lately. I ordered a couple things on Monday with the free overnight shipping code...I just got the package today. I was quite annoyed, even with normal shipping I always get my packages faster than that.

It helps that most of this collection is permanent so that I can take my time.

Okay...that is my logic, one I wish I could practice with more regularity, especially when it comes to MAC.

When it comes to my makeup addiction, delay of gratification does not work for me! I want it all NOW! LOL!

I can relate. I am soooo NOT on Team Delayed Gratification !!!

I actually got home Weds late afternoon from my long driving trip. And Thurs i was in my local MAC hoping they had Office Hours in their back room to test... no such luck.

Just received my black box

I wish I could play with everything at work.
