^ LE? As in limited edition?

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ That's right. I'm not sure which collection as there are so many out right now & the SA took it out of the display & brought it over to me

Do you mean Sweet Strawberry from the Hello Kitty Collection?

 

[Trista]

As far as a lipglass with more glitter in it, you'll want to go for the Lustreglass or the Dazzleglass. If you are looking for more pigmentation, you'll have to try out the various pink shades. I have Pink Manish and it is very pigmented, but most lipglasses tend to be sheerer, as I believe the intent is for them to be worn with a lipstick.

Strawberry Blonde is an LE, yes...I haven't tried it, as I skipped BBR due to lack of finances.

 

[goregeous]

Thanks for the lipgloss suggestions everyone. I'll have to head over to mac and try them out. I generally tend to like my lipgloss with either a bit more pigment or a bit more glitter because I don't wear it with lipstick I wear it alone, I just personally hate the way they look and feel on my lips together.

 

[Trista]

Another suggestion for really pigmented lipglosses is to go to VS-their Very Sexy glosses are extremely pigmented, and some are indeed very glittery. Just a thought

sugarsweet collection. i like the pinks of the lipsticks! (temptalia)

so what do people use the MSF for? im pale with freckles and i dont normally use bronzer...dont use it ever actually.

what would i use an MSF for?

 

[jjbunny79]

lucy92:
depends on the shade on the MSF, you can also use it as a blush (ie the pink ones a la the blonde MSF), pressed powder (pretty much any of them you like) and eyeshadow (if you can find a way to use it).

i honestly regret about lightscapade MSF from tho. it came out at a time when i am not financially indepentdant, and now i keep hearing ppl saying it is a good product for pale folk like me and it is not likely that MAC will ever make it again

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ Have you tried eBay?

I agree, lucy, I like those pink lipsticks too. Sometimes the heavy frosts make for an uncomfortable texture tho

 

[jjbunny79]

tata:
well, i don't really trust ebay that much and besides i dont have a credit card, and the MSF is pretty old even if i bought it anyway (thats where the argony comes from).

 

[Trista]

I actually am liking both those lipsticks-but I have so many pinks already.

As far as the MSF's go, Perfect Topping would definitely be a highlighter/blush. The other one (the name slips my mind) would be a nice bronzer, a nice lighter one. You'd like Perfect Topping, Lucy...

Dear Cupcake is supposedly similar to Angelcake, but darker pink and satin instead of light coral-pink and frost.

About Lightscapade, I know that Laura Geller does some baked powders that are like MSF's, there is always a slim chance it may end up at some CCO's...I think a lot of people just got turned off when Danse came out that there was a face powder with the blues and greens in it. I would love Lightscapade, but the MSF I really want to get is Global Glow. (along with Gold Deposit, Soft & Gentle, and eventually all the BBR ones)

Sugarsweet is seriously way better than Hello Kitty...but I need Style Warriors. NOW. Bright Future had better be a veluxe pearl.

Oh, and Temptalia has Rose Romance info up...I only wish it launched a week later because my birthday is the 2nd of May. Anywhoo, there are delightfully few repromotes in here.

Lipglasses
Virgin Kiss-a sheer light pink, apparently has multi-dimensional pearl
Magnetique-a bright fuschia-purple. This has been repromoed a few times-originally Belle Azure, then Nocturnelle, then as a Little Darling. This colour is AMAZING. (and my CCO has it...so I can skip from the collection)
Steal My Heart-a sheer, brighter pink, also with the multidimensional pearl

Lipsticks
Way To Love-a creamy yellow-pink, looks quite pale
A Rose Romance-mid-tone pink with gold pearl
Odyssey-"spiked-up" plum. This is a permanent shade, frost finish.

See-Thru Lip Colour
Loving Touch-sheer light pink with pearl
Tender Tryst-sheer plum with pearl
Secret Crush-sheer berry red

Pigments
Mutiny-a true frosty sky blue. Originally came out with Naughty Nauticals, and is AMAZING.
Circa Plum-Frosty dark lavender. Originally came out with Colour Forms.

Eyeshadow
Of Summer-frosty pale mauve
Et Tu, Bouquet?-a frosty pale pink-gold
Creme de Violet-bright violet with gold shimmer. This is a permanent shade and the wearing power SUCKS on this...you have to use a primer and 86 coats of it.
Shadowy Lady-"darkly veiled" plum. This is another permanent one.
Silverthorn-grey with silver pearl.

Just A Pinch-a sheer red/pink tint. This is a gel blush that comes in a little pot not unlike a Tendertone or Paint Pot package.

Beauty Powders. The beauty powders themselves are actually, from the preview, sculpted into a rose shape in the pan. Eat your heart out Hello Kitty embossing
Blush of Youth-a light pink (between Pretty Baby and Alpha Girl IMO) with gold pearl
Summer Rose-a soft, violet-pink with pearl

Nail Polish
Love & Friendship-a creamy lavender

Creations Hue: Dejarose-a floral chyphre blend with roses, orchids, peony, lily, raspberry, pink pepper, amber, and the (dreaded IMO) patchouli.

Fix+ Rose-Fix+ with rosewater

This could be trouble as I need both beauty powders, Of Summer, Et Tu, Bouquet?, Steal My Heart, and Just a Pinch. I can get Magnetique and Circa Plum at the outlet eventually...Oh, and I also want the perfume.

Of Summer looks really nice...reminds me of an eyeshadow from Guerlain that I had when I was 14 The nail polish looks pretty too

 

[daisybella]

I'm SO excited already for Rose Romance!

 

[Trista]

Rose Romance will probably do really well, as will Sugarsweet...they're not as kitschy as Hello Kitty. I'm just really excited for Naked Honey as well...

 

[kwikspell]

What are See-Thru Lip Colours like? I've never tried them before but the colors looks looovely... this is the only upcoming collection I'm really excited for!

 

[Trista]

See-Thru lip colour is like a lip stain-it is thinner than a gloss and is meant to provide colour, but sheer colour at that. I have yet to actually try and of them out, but I am going to give one a try soon because I want something that wears better than Vegas Volt.

As far as the upcoming collections go, I definitely think most people will be happy with at least some of it. Sugarsweet is a lot of candy shades, so some brights and some pastels. Rose Romance is pinks, pinks, pinks. Style Warriors looks to be BRIGHTS, and Naked Honey is golds, apricots, bronzes.

 

[Guessgirl96]

thanks for the pics and info. I really like the mutiny pigment, everything else I can live without.

I'm confused about these beauty powders - they're pink but arent they supposed to be used all over your face? how are the beauty powders different than beauty powder blush?

Also does anyone know the difference between the msf natural, select sheer, mystery powder, or set powder? they all seem the same to me. I'm using msf natural right now on top of studio tech to set it, absorb oil and to kind of give that soft airbrushed look but I'm wondering if maybe one of the others would be better for that.

I'm modelling underwear, which usually sucks, but I found out MAC is doing the makeup! YAY! I'm kinda scared that it's a SA and not a real MUA I really don't think the SAs know what they're doing half the time, judging from their own makeup
