Musings of a Muse

Thoughts on Stila One Step Prime Color? I didn’t really love it when they released them and thought Make Up For Ever landed the cream/liquid brush technique last Summer (CLICK!).

But I wouldn’t refuse them if I happened upon a sale!

Let it be known I was every so relieved after viewing the QVC Presentation Video that I wasn’t crazy about the overall finish I got with the Smashbox FAQ’s 7 Piece Color Collection.

I recently hauled this on Auto Delivery from QVC because it was a stupendous deal. After receiving it I was in awe over the promo model’s overall look and was every so eager to try it out.

FAIL!

I totally couldn’t master the look but after seeing the video on QVC I realized the two looks are completely and utterly different and the one on QVC looks more like what I came out with than what was included in the how to guide in the set.

Phew! It’s always nice to know I’m NOT going crazy because believe me I feel on the brink of it daily.

Let’s take a look at this set and more on my rant about the model later!
