We can request anything we want, ROFGiggling!!! At least that's how *I* choose to interpret *wish lists*!!! :) I haven't worn 'traditional' makeup for quite a few years, so I snatch up most any dupe Karen creates that I think will work for me....& that is to say most all of them! 8-)

BB's collection of what's it called, LOL!!! :oops: The Raspberry Collection or somesuch? Colors are gorgeous! And since I never wear "regular" makeup I rarely pay attention to other lines; I just "know" the colors will magically appear in mineral form! :D

Teiko, I always ask for what I want! NO hope of getting it without letting it be known I want it! ;)

Someone on MMM had also asked for a color that was a greyed brown for contouring & I found that a brilliant request/observation ~ "shadows" aren't "brown", they're more greyed than that...so that would take a lot of thought but I've never seen such a thing offered! Some gals are so smart!

I think that's a great color for brows too! The colors that I've seen contain redish tones which don't make very good eyebrow fillers for dark haired gals like me.

Aaargghh - I never find one with reddish tones so I resorted to making my own (the one reddish-tone brow powder I did find was a rather 'radical' interpretation).

I gotta shop where you shop :D

But - this is also one of the things that untinted base (if it's too dark) or one of the foundation colours unmixed can come in handy - they're great colour correctors for things like brow powders.

I was using Basalt (LIGHTLY!) as a brow filler but needed/wanted something lighter. Next I tried Mousse...too light. Then I realized Karen had Truffle ~ & that's a medium brown with good depth & no red tones...perfect brow color!

My plan is to work on some dupes today...I have the BB raspberry pallette- that blush shade worries me a little. It's the most shocking pink color I've seen in a while- but we've all tried it on, and it does look good on everyone- I was pleasantly surprised because we're a pretty diverse crew.

I'm not sure what they put in it to make that color- but whoa! I'm going to have some fun in the lab today! I'm not sure what it is- but I *love* the challenge of making clones.
