Has anyone purchased the Glamourous Mineralize Kit? I was wondering if it contains Noble Touch MES or Engaging because on the Mac website it says Noble Touch in the description, but it has a picture of Engaging at the bottom of the page (with the swatches). I would love Noble Touch because I collect and love MES, but even with that I'm not sure whether I should get this kit, especially if it actually has Engaging it it. Thanks!

i love the cloth bags!!

 

[LittleMaryJane]

I got my box!

Glamora Castle
Twists of Tartan
Undercurrent
Family Crest

I love opening everything and checking it out for the first time

I'm not sure what I was imagining but this book that you had to spend seventy-five dollars to get is pretty underwhelming haha

I asked my boyfriend if he wanted me to read him the story. He said no.

Cover


First page, sorry for the backwardness, don't know why i didn't fix it when i resized durr

Gorgeous promo shots though


The cover acts like a "dust jacket"

My book was slightly bent after having been jammed in the box

Love the polish! Is it mean&green?

I called the store and they said they can't ship stuff until november 2nd (they're closed for all saints day). Sob…I think I'm gonna go to the counter (department stores are open, yay!) and see if they have everything I might cancel my order and save 5€

The MES is NOBLE TOUCH... I went in and saw it yesterday because I noticed the same thing online. Noble Touch is really pretty! This was the one set I was tempted to get, but $50 seemed like a lot when the only thing I really wanted from it was the MES lol.

Anyway. I also went to sephora and found the new nars gloss Downtown is comparable to gone romancin' but it's better. I'm getting that. Also, ysl has a new lipstick in a hot gorgeous orange that is comparable to toxic tale. That's next on my list. I bought a touche eclat and got the hell out of there. I am broke, but happy. LOL

i kinda want to try that color. i like the reviews of it so far. Off to try it today!

 

[keetuh]

Oh wow, so there's nothing really special about the book? HEH, I thought it was getting something grand. I probably won't pay too much attention to it.

Heh.. here we go again. It's too bad she does these reviews before taking a closer look at the products.

Feel the same way. I'm not buying one iota of it. I apparently must be sick, it's called Mac-Ihavethisstuff,dupecity,poorpigmentation,andalltogetherblahness,can'tuseglittereyeliner,walletishappy-itis.

haha! I feel the same way. I have yet to test out Play it Cool palatte though.


Sir Teddy is the name of my baby parrot. hehehe

Glamora Castle or Semi-Precious? I know i don't really need either but I feel like I may regret not purchasing later.

Those were the two I was most interested in and I went for GC. It's different than anything in the permanent line. SP is pretty, but it is very similar to Hepcat and doesn't have the nice sheen that GC has. So that's my vote.

Glamora Castle.. it's really beautiful and buttery smooth. Hopefully this one doesn't sell out soon because I'm coming back for it definitely!

Thanks a lot! Although I was hoping it would be Engaging cause then I wouldn't want it.

Does anyone want an Indianwood paintpot? I already have it and that would help with reducing the cost of this set. Also, does anyone know where the kit is going to be available in the UK? I only have counters near me, I don't even know if there's a stand alone Mac store (other than the pro store in London) here?! Or is it going to be online only? Thx.

The MES is NOBLE TOUCH... I went in and saw it yesterday because I noticed the same thing online. Noble Touch is really pretty! This was the one set I was tempted to get, but $50 seemed like a lot when the only thing I really wanted from it was the MES lol.

I went back for the petrol blue liner and left with the liner, sir Teddy, and another palette. Ugh LOVE it!!

For anyone on the fence about Gone Romancin' dazzleglass creme, here is a swatch of my lips in natural light. I loooooooooove it!!

I went and actually looked at the collection today. I got 2 brush sets, the face and eye set. I also got the family crest and moonlight night pigment. I didnt like the swatches over the computer but seeing them in person, they really are great colors. I was excited that they still had them (and they had a ton of them still). Actually later sold out first at their counter. I asked her if they sell out fast with thier products and she said yeah. I said oh yeah so you probably sold out of marine life and stereo rose really fast. She said yes, it took 6 days! ..........6 days? thats all. So moral of the story, if I want anything else that sells out later, thats the counter to go to.

Oh and here's yet another swatch of Moonlight Night (left) and The Family Crest (right) on my arm used wet with a primer (nautral light)



Moonlight Night looks a little different on the eye though, as I discovered today when I used it all over my lid:
