MAC - Holiday 2010 A Tartan Tale Discussion

[hilaryrose]

Anxious now! I'm NW15 and really looking forward to trying it out.

When I went to paint my nails earlier, I found out the brush was completely screwed up, bristles every which way, so I'll return it and get a new one tomorrow (hopefully) but now I'm worried about the color looking good on me.

Though, I do like the goth look on my nails sometimes, so we'll see.

My bristles were messed up too! Weird. I'm still bummed about the colour - it looks so great in the bottle, and it looked really good for the first coat, which was much too sheer to really wear. I didn't get even coverage until my third coat, and then it was really dark. The red shimmer IS gorgeous though.

Thank you so much, Erin and strbuks77!

Now, which one should I choose: book (online) or bags (store)? Or both?

Sir Teddy for Salina! Yay!

Is it true that Sir Teddy is only available at the stores not at the counters?

If I had to choose, I'd go for the book, but maybe that's just me. I'm framing mine.

And yes- Sir Teddy! Though, my mom just called me and said she could pick it up for me tomorrow since I have classes again, but her voice sounded kind of sneaky which means I'll probably get it on my birthday in a month or so.

That's alright. It's not like I'm desperate to play with him like I would be an eyeshadow or something like that.

I'm really not sure on the store exclusive thing,.. That's what my MA told me today, but she also seemed a little confused about the whole collection.

All I know is they didn't get them.

family crest looks amazing in your swatch! i'm so excited to get it!

 

[saouri]

would you guys actually recommend Deepest Wish for rather cool skin tones and not so much for warm ones too??? I'm a little confused, it doesn't look awfully cool to me, but probably I just can't see it...

Erine, which shadestick do you recommend to use under later & under moonlight pigments? TIA

 

[Camnagem]

Well shit. I need those! I think I'll head out to my MAC store and get the additional things I was planning on getting online there instead...gotta have those bags!

I think it could really work with either. It doesn't lean too much in either direction. It's a little warmer/ browner as a shade, but I'm pretty cool-toned and I like it on me.

Have at it doll! Theres enough there to go around. With our personalities...non stop laughter

 

[bellaboomboom]

Strbuks77, so you got the bags at the counter? Not at the MAC store? It's a very important question for me.

Did anyone get the bags at Macy's?

POO! No I did not get the bag at Macy's yesterday

 

[bellaboomboom]

Me too! I messed up anyway yesterday and forgot to get the green eye liner so I guess I'll go back for that and see if they have the bags.

Sooooo funny story... I was so desperate to get Undercurrent before they ran out that I didn't check my stash and... I already have it!!!!!! Just goes to show how much I use it !

I do really love it though, so maybe it can just be my back-up

If not, I may return it or pass it on to someone who missed out but really wants it!

Thank youuu!!! I think I'll have to get it!

- maybe I'll have two TT hauls, because I feel like I will spend a looot of $$, and I would be like "WOOOOOT, girl have you gone CRAZY???"! That way maybe it won't feel like that much...

SOoooo, I actually found an eyeshadow that seems to be a hot pink that is quite close to HBC and I just went to try what it looks like on my cheeks (yup using an e/s as a blush!) - and I am soo surprised that it does not come out the blue-ish cold kind of pink I thought it would be on my skin AT ALL! It actually is really really pretty I think - of course the formula is different so maybe it isn't totally reliable, still, it's a surprise!
Can it be that both blushes are actually back on my list now??? ( I tried so hard to narrow it down, I crossed out all the eyeshadows now, but with the 2 blushes and Deepest Wish, I am back at spending more than I want too... wrgl)
I mean, I don't actually own any MAC blushes yet (sooooorry

!)

Do I need to get HBC??

Well I recently made an order on MAC and I am/was quite apprehensive about ordering anything from this line. Reason being, I'm just now starting to get into MAC products, plus for some odd reason, I've never been a plaid person so the way it's advertised isn't catching my eye as something I'd have to have. My question is when you order 75+ on MAC, you get the Tartan book. What does that book include? Now, I could wait until my items get here but I'm far too excited for that!

I haven't read anything for sure about this damn book!

Just that it's probably promo images.. And I swear I saw something about poetry being included? Has anyone gotten theirs yet? Mine is on its way today...

 

[AcousticSoul]

Whoa, I had a hell of a time catching up with this discussion! So awesome to see the swatches and read up on what everyone thinks about their goodies so far. I gotta say, I'm dragging my feet with this collection. There's definitely a lot I want, but for some reason I just haven't made the trip over to my Macy's counter yet. I think there might be something wrong with me haha...

I have no idea where to start! I'm going to stop by the store later tonight coz I need to do some seriousing swatching...




P.S. I miss the old emoticons!

 

[Hilde]

Lol.

No wonder they felt normal.

 

[shimmergrass]

those bags are super cute!

 

[Divinity]

Usually I am NEVER into the palettes from the MAC holiday collections, but man, I dig them this year! The regular collection was a bit of a downer, except the pearl liners, those are a MUST!

I got the Play it Cool and Twist of Tartan palettes AND the eye kit with the Teal piggie. I have the liner, but REALLY like the piggie

Now I have to go to an actual store for the Teddys...another MUST.

Anyone else feel like a sucker?

I'm curious about the Tartan book, too, ladies. Could anyone post the pictures please? I love to know more about a fairy, fox, and a noble black swan.

How big is the book? How many pages?

This is cute! Glad you found it.
