Just wondering if anyone had seen this at Ulta or CVS yet. I haven't been able to find it, but the line is getting raves on MUA, especially the foundation. Just wondering if anyone had any opinions on any of these products :)

Sorry, I've never heard of it either. We have CVSs galore around here, but I haven't seen it in any of them. Guess I'll have to look for it. Sounds interesting.

The only place that carries this new line around here is Ulta, so maybe check there?
I bought their foundation based on all the MUA hype, and I have to say, I really do like it a lot! It has a great color match for me (2nd lightest, something Ecru?), and it gives great coverage while still gliding on effortlessly. Love that it's in a pump, too. I've heard great things about the powder, too, so I might have to try that out soon.
I bought one of the shadow trios, the Metalic one, and while it's nice, I'm not wowed by it. I like a bit more drama to my eyes, and these would be better suited to someone looking for a more natural, subdued look.
I also picked up a l/s and a gloss, but the lipstick I haven't give a fair shake to yet, nor have I the gloss, but will report back asap!

I'm curious about her line too but have not seen it anywhere yet. I may be near ULTA this weekend, if I do, hopefully they have Carmindy's stuff.
BTW, is her foundation the regular liquid foundation or the airbrush one? For some reasons I thought she's coming out with airbrush foundation, but I could be hearing things, lol.

In my area my CVS has a whole display of all of her make-up in the regular make-up aisle, it's not even like it's just on the endcaps like new products usually are. But anyway...I have the foundation in the lightest shade, Porcelain. I like it a lot. It didn't make me break out, which is something I always have trouble with and it actually made my skin feel smoother. It has a very natural look, I can see why it's called "Your Skin" make-up. Once you blend it in and it dries, you can't even tell it's there. This is my "good skin day" make-up. I also have the Lift and Define Mascara in Black/Brown and I love it. It really does what the name implies and doesn't smudge at all. I like the smaller wand because it's easier to get every last lash and there's less chance I'll get mascara on my eyelid. I have the plumping lip balm also, but that I am less impressed with. I have the pink one and there is no pigment to it hardly. It does a nice basic job of moisturizing but I notice no plumping. So I say yes to mascara and foundation and no to the lip balm. I wanna try the pressed powder and blush next....

I'd like to see her line if it ever makes it way to Hawaii.

OK, so I picked up the foundation - LOVE the formula, very pretty finish, great wear, etc, but the colors are impossible to figure out w/out testers lol. I got Sandy Beige, which is a bit too orange/yellow for me, & I'm NC35ish in MAC right now...I MIGHT try Creamy Beige, the next step down, but it looks really pinkish in the bottle....
The concealer is nice as well, but doesn't cover my dark circles completely. It doesn't crease or get cakey though, which is usually my biggest problem. It seems to run light though, so darker gals may not find a match.
