A few people have been talking about the Make Up Forever Smoky Palette that was supposed to be at Sephora but hasn't showed up yet. In any case the looks that are associated with this palette in the advertizing are really pretty. So I decided to do a look inspired by the green look. I think I will try to do the brown one tomorrow. Here are the MUFE looks:
I am going to put and (R) next to shadows that are from the Bare Escentuals Ready Palettes. Some of the shadows in the palettes have the same name as the loose minerals so it might get confusing.

I got a bunch of new stuff, some from the Sephora sale, some from the preview and some from the Q. I don't even know where to start. Hopefully this weekend I will have time to do some swatches with the new stuff but I think I will just post my looks with a few new things until then.
Here is what I got: Good Morning Gorgeous (from QVC), Buxom Stay There in Husky, LORAC liquid luster, Anistasia Brow Wiz in Brunette, High Shine Meteroite, High Shine Ice, High Shine Flash and the Argan and green coffee eye serum from Shea Terra.
I played around with the liquid luster a bit and used it in the first look. I mixed a little LL with a little bit of eye drops and the onyx liner. It lightened the liner and made it sparkly. I want to try it under and eye shadow, over an eye shadow, and mixed with an eye shadow--I'll do swatches when I can. The LL is a clear fluid with white and irridescent gold sparkle in it.
The Buxom Stay There shadow in Husky is a light blue (I'm wearing this in the frist look too). I really love it. I didn't think I would need it but then I saw it in person at Sephora and couldn't believe how pretty it is. I think it will look good with lots of colours or by itself.
I tested the 7 eye shadows in the Good Morning Gorgeous kit on my hand and like most of them. I don't think these shadows are ment to be used together. Some of them will work together but I think you will need to come up with your own combinations. Some of the shadows are quite sparkly. The blue shadow, Monday, is not like any other blue I have so that is cool. Tuesday is a really pretty mid-tone pink that will look good with Saturday a very light pink with big clear/silver sparkles in it (it is similar to Tiara but with a different kind of sparkle in it). Wednesday is green and very similar to Exotic Victoria but Wednesday has a smokier base than Exotic Victoria. Thursday has a brown base with greenish gold irridescence, it has a different look than many BE shadows. Friday I need to play with more. Sunday is a nude brown that is matte in a nice way, it's one of those shadows that creates a blurred look which in the right combination can look very professional and elegant.
The High shines are very pretty. I like them all. Ice is similar to HS Charisma--I will swatch them side by side. High shine flash is a really nice pale lavender. HS Meteroite has a smoky purple-ish grey base with a pinky bronze shine (I'm wearing this in the second look).

So I made the mistake of blending out the Saint Bernard with Siren which is a very light blue green but when blended with the saint bernard looks kind of dark. But if I hadn't made that mistake I think this would have been pretty. Putting Lagoon with teals and green really brings out the green undertones.
EYES:
Primetime for eyes,

Siren under brow,
Buxom Stay There Saint Bernard lash into and above crease on outer 2/3ish,

One of the challenges on Majyk this week was to do a pastel look. I thought I would use No Eye Deer as the main colour in this look but I think everything blends together and it doesn't really look very pastel overall.
Another thing the Tarte lipstains are good for is using them over the buxom lipsticks or other lipsticks to add just a hint of pink or a tiny bit more colour or a little glossy-ness. One swipe of the Tarte stain is usually enough. I think pouty looks really nice over sydney.

I wanted to wait to post these looks until I had worn all three lipstains. Overall I really like the Tarte Lipsurgence crayons. I think they stay on pretty well. They do not last all day but you will have colour on your lips all day. The matte lipstain did come closest to lasting all day. I don't usually wear a matte lip so I wanted to put gloss over the stain but didn't. The sparkly texture feels smooth on the lips. It catches the light in a nice way and is not frosty or weird looking. I think my favorite texture is the the glossy texture. I like that the glossy texture can go on sheer but be built up. I like the feel of those the best. I think out of this set I like Moody and Pouty best. Pouty is a little darker than I thought it would be. I wish they would make a set like this in some of the lighter shades.
