Desi, what did you decide, yes or no on the IT TSV. I would be interested in the mascara, blush and eye liner but afraid the powder would look drying on me but still would be a good price I think, thinking about it.

I don't have much in the car but do keep several of my DVD's to listen to when alone plus am umbrella and a hat for windy or rainy days. DS keeps a rain poncho, blanket, lots of DVD's and stuff for work, things he needs that he has to buy and take every day that he can't keep there being a temp.

[Desi]

Doglover, yes, but I don't want to sway anyone one way or the other. I am confused about the best shade to get as many are. I do want to try all the products and don't want to miss the value which is good. I am pretty sure you'd hate the foundation as it really is a powdery foundation and you never found one that worked for you. I have, but even I am reaching the point where I'm not sure powder foundation is the best choice. Don't wait it you want it though, some shades are getting low.

Desi, after reading reviews of this foundation, isn't for my skin so skipped it and my new Mally foundation came today as well as my new brow pencils and boy do I love both. I didn't think I would use the powder foundation but wanted to try the new mascara, like the wand but after reading posts on the original mascara I opted to stick with either my Mally voluminous or my Benefit They're Real. I am still loving my Mally deep olive for my eye lining and using my ELF sheer lid primer first.

for those looking for a great foundation OR brow product

MALLY AIR BRUSH MOUSSE FOUNDATION (LOVE THIS FOUNDATION)

Item A 262216 and it is $41.12 and is 1.7 ounces, nice size, comes with a nice brush. Don't use a lot, sure doesn't take much but is buildable for those that need it.

AND

IT 5 in 1 gel powder brow pencil duo (LOVE THESE)

item number is A240491 and it is $29 for the duo for $29.

this foundation after watching Mally and seeing the colors on her hand and models I took medium light, perfect, almost the same as BE bareskin in bare shell and the Mally compact liquid in fair BUT there isn't any other color in this one, no hint of yellow or pink or any other undertone but it is still lilght, perfect for me. This takes so very little and yes, you can use your fingers. I did on one side and used the brush that comes with it on the other side, both look great. It really does have an air brush look and feel and is perfect feeling, very light weight, not sticky,tacky and just all over great for me. I finally think I am set as far as foundation goes if I continue to love this like I do right now.

The IT 5 in 1 gel powder pencil duo I feel the same way about, perfect for me and glad the brunette was on a WL and I took taupe, perfect. I had this on in less than a minute, glides on almost like air but don't press too hard, goes on so easy and so light yet looks great and much more natural than any other pencil or brow product I have ever used, duo is $29, love them.

read my review, huge huge foundation and brow products, huge rave.

I am so glad I got both today before I ordered yet another one, am sticking with these 2 for sure now, love both a lot and both go on so easy and look and feel so great, happy camper here as far as foundation and brow. I do like the IT stain stick for my lips, not cheeks but lips. I do put vaseline on before going to bed which helps.

Doglover, yay, so happy that you found two dare I say it, HG products? Sounds like both are perfect for you! Kind of figured a powder foundation wasn't for you. I did order but I think I will like all the other items, just hoping the foundation is nice on me as well.

[doglover3]

I am sure this TSV will be good for you since you like and already use some powder foundations unlike me.

I am so glad I got both of these items, brow and foundation. I am also very glad the colors were good. The foundation I would say is just a hair lighter if anything than the BE bare shell, just a hair but so very close but has no other color in it which makes it even better for me.

It is as light as air and boy, you do not need much at all. I pumped too much out so now to use a whole lot less tomorrow.

You can't believe how that 5 in 1 gel powder brow pencil goes on, so smooth, doesn't take any pressing at all and it just more or less glides right on. You also for some reason seem to have more control. Maybe because you don't have to press so hard like you do with some brow pencils, don't know but I got it right the first time with the first brow and stayed all day looking the same, really do like this a lot, like both a lot.

I will be anxious now to hear how you like the new IT TSV. I will be waiting to hear about the mascara the most since that is one thing I was interested in. I like that brush. The They're Real has a similar brush but not as pronounced at the little ball at the end and works the best for me so is why I was interested in this mascara, for the brush mostly.

[Desi]

Doglover, will let you know. It will probably be a while before my ki gets here. Stuff from most places (except Amazon) is taking forever. Our PO is bad too lately which doesn't help.

Interesting how Mally can nail "neutrals" and some make-up companies can't? Good for them, at least they get it right. The brow thingy sounds great too.

Eyes still somewhat dilated from early eye exam - good news is he said they are about the same as they were, woo-hoo! Been terrified the crash did something but I lucked out - thank-you G-d!

[Desi]

Modern Family vs. Ghost Hunters - yep, it's baaack for Halloween! Think I will watch the GH replay at 11:00.

[doglover3]

Desi, glad the eye exam is over and you got good news. I can imagine you were worried after the accident but TG they stayed the same.

Yes, I find Mally colors to be more neutral than most others, no other under tones in any I found which I like since I am more neutral.

this is why I pay $1 or $2 extra and have my things come UPS.

I did go on a WL for the dark brown even though the taupe looks okay DH said when outside he thinks my brows(what I have in the center) are too dark for this color SO, I went on a WL and will try both and decide which I think works best for me being I do my makeup in the bedroom.

I am loving the Mally air brush mousse foundation in the pump bottle but boy you have to be careful, a little goes a long long way so it should last quite a while being it is 1.7 ounces.

I watched Mally tonight from 2 to 3 AM. She didn't have this one on but did have the liquid in the compact so why can't they send them out for those of us on AD? She also showed her brow pencil which I also have, pencil on one end and setting powder on the other end. It is nice, just nice but the pencil doesn't go on as easy as this 5 in 1 gel powder IT brow pencil and the powder part in the other end won't last long and some say theirs dried up, no problem with mine but the pencil isn't the best although it is nicer than a lot I tried.

[doglover3]

Desi where are you? Wanted to tell you I tried the IT 5 in 1 gel powder brow pencil as an eye liner and it works. The newer Mally brow pencil with the powder on the other end, doesn't work so don't try that one as an eye liner, while nice, isn't nearly as nice or as good as the IT 5 in 1 gel powder brow pencil. I may just keep this taupe and use it as an eye liner although it is very light, a very very light chocolate as an eye liner, very light chocolate.

I also wanted to tell you about the ET WD & Rubies, tried that today, put it on at 3 PM and got a compliment at 4 AM when we went out for breakfast and I could still smell it lightly on my wrist, very soft powder floral, very soft but seems to last. I will try the ET WD & Emeralds tomorrow, today for most. I am glad I got the ET WD & rubies now, 3.3 ounces for under $18, can't go wrong and found out I like it.

[Desi]

Doglover, thought I posted, no idea where it went!

Glad you can use the brow for a liner in case the darker shade is better for your brows.

Yesterday ortho appt. So not happy with the visit. Waited an hr and da-m-n if he did not wash or use alcohol gel before seeing me (I saw him come right from the next room, no sinks). Numb and tingling hands do not gel in my book with muscle issues but he is sending me for neck PT. Getting tired of waking up with my hand asleep! I have a bulging neck disc which is likely pressing in a nerve. How is it he was unconvinced and thinks it's a neck muscle strain? I will go for the PT eval next week and also have a dental cleaning. Getting tired of appts. Enough B and moaning.
