MAC - Holiday 2010 A Tartan Tale Discussion

[LittleMaryJane]

ACK! I can't seem to get Black Line completely gone from my mind. A part of it is just hanging on to me. Hmm...what to do...buy or skip...

I love Black Line. Sometimes I want black liner but not super dark BLACK liner, if that makes sense and I think Black Line is good for that.

Awwww...Sir Teddy!

sir teddy looks so cute on the traincase!

i'm wearing moonlight night wet on my lids today with humid in the crease to blend it out. it looks quite pretty but it's not all that different from deep blue green pigment to me. not that it's a bad thing!

From the 1st chapter I bought:

Sweep me off my feet brush set (bought this mainly for the bag only...i still prefer my full size brushes)
6 Reelers and rockers e/s palette
6 Twists of Tartan e/s palette

From the color collection i got myself:

Cut a Caper lipstick (this is in NO WAY similar to jazzed i swear. Although it looks a peachy-orangy pink in the tube, when i applied on my lips, it turned out to be more pink) Love love love this lipstick. MUST GET!

Full fuschia lipstick (a gorgeous HOT fuschia pink. Love thissss.....)

My highland honey blush
Her Blooming cheek blush (although i have azalea pro blush and full fuschia blush ...but being a blush whore, i still wanna buy them haha)
Undercurrent pearl glide liner (this is a to back up my existing one which i'm over left with about half or so)

Not into any of the single e/s from the color collection - they look quite dupeable to me.

Not plannin to get any of the pigments either as i have a sizeable amount of full size pigments and i HARDLY touch them. So yeah... Usually i dun buy much from the holiday collections. Sometimes i dun even buy any item from the holiday collecion.

Geeko and winnie- any idea if the pigments are gettig sold out fast in Singapore? I didint have time to go and dont wanna miss em!

 

[geeko]

Nope, there are still stocks. Usually for pigments, they move quite slowly in singapore. I guess most consumers in singapore are still not open to the idea of using pigments...I'm still thinking about the pigments though. I have many full size bottles of pigments and i HARDLY touch them...not to mention i have both MES from venomous villains...so i may be giving the pigments a pass. If they are still in stock next month, then i may buy, other wise for this mth, i'm not buying anymore make up. Gotta save money.

oh and for those lovely ladies who wanna compare the difference between the color for Her Blooming Cheek, Azalea pro blush and Full Fuschia blush, i have posted swatches of them in the product swatches thread.

Oh GREAT

Now I'm wanting Cut a Caper again, and I lost interest in this lippy ages ago. I'd still really love to see a swatch comparison of Jazzed/Cut a Caper/Ever Hip.

That's great news! I love Ever Hip and would also love to see a comparison between those shades.
I just saw a YT video and the girl was wearing Cut a caper with one of the lipglosses from TT. She said her lips are pigmented but CAC shows really well and you can see that on the video too:

.....I have to try that!!!

yup! it's not for the glitter shy though! but utterly awesome!

Is anyone else finding Her blooming cheek a little tricky to apply? I get that you have to use a very light hand, but I still find the color goes on a little patchy & then tough to blend out. Helpful hints??

 

[kittykit]

I love Ever Hip - it's my most favourite l/s from this year's collection. Cut-A-Caper is nothing close to Ever Hip in person. When I tried Cut-A-Caper on my very pigmented lips, it didn't look good on me

I tried again for the second time and decided to pass it because it's not going to work for me.

It's a shame that Sir Teddy keyrings aren't available here... They're so adorable!

Use the 187 very softly I would say.
