MAC - Holiday 2010 A Tartan Tale Discussion

[Camnagem]

One more Sir Teddy for Meg! Yay! I have to get mine soon!

Enjoy your haul!

@ zombie hugs. I agree, late at night, we're here, but not really.

Thanks hun! I couldn't resist the larger version.

Sir Teddy is going to become like a Where's Waldo thing for me I think. I'll take pictures of stuff and he'll be in them...somewhere...gotta find him!

 

[Camnagem]

No can do. Needed to touch him!

Me too!

 

[singer82]

Yay! Hope all you ladies get your hauls from Chapter 2! I'm loving all the great reviews.
I just ordered mine....
The Cool Piggy Set (SO EXCITED for this one!!!)
Sir Teddy Ketchain (yay for Sir Teddy!

)
Dare to Dare l/g from Dare to Wear. I had to get my hands on it before its gone!
I also got the Vain and Glorious Lipbag & the Lady and her Tricks Brushbag from the Macy's website (Finally get my hands on the 187! I know its not the same, but it will do for now) Cant wait for the bag!!!

This is def it until ChamPale and Peacocky! Almost two months without ordering MAC. I can hear my wallet cheering right now! (till Peacocky comes out then it will be screaming again)

Hey guys, long time lurker here, just wanted to share with you my TT haul so far

Her Blooming Cheek blush: love love love this, my favorite TT purchase so far! I use a blush brush dabbed very gently into it, then apply what's on the brush onto both cheeks and blend in. The colour this gives me is so gorgeous, really pink and girly looking. It still frightens me to look at it in the pan though!

My Highland Honey blush: the bestpeach blush I've tried yet, suits my skintone beautifully (I'm pale-medium, but slightly more on the paler side). Again, this needs a very light hand, for me anyway!

The Faerie Glen l/s: I really wanted to love this, but I find it slightly on the brown side rather than pink, which disappointed me

can see myself using it for some looks though. Went on really nice, I like Lustre formulas because they're so versatile - you can have the shade as sheer or as strong as you'd prefer.

Full Fuschia l/s: I know this is a permanent Pro shade but I have no way of obtaining Pro products so I bought this from the collection. It's very bright, I paired it with neutral eyes and it looked lovely. I noticed it stained my lips a bit, wore it this afternoon to go to the shops and there's still a pinky tinge to my lips now (11pm)! It's very nice though, not complaining!

Radiant Jewels d/g: This looks lovely applied over the top of FF, slightly darker and a bit of a purple tinge to it but a good pairing! Lasts for ages as well.

Viva Glam lip bag: I got this off the UK site for £20, which I thought was a great deal because the 2 items individually would have cost me £25. I went on the site today and noticed it's up to £27.50! Think I accidently took advantage of a price glitch there!?! This is a browny shade as well but I seem to prefer it to TFG for some reason, not sure why?I like the little bag it came with, although I thought the opening to it was really small, which I hate in a cosmetics bag (you can't get to anything properly!)

I did another little order tonight as I noticed Chap. 2 had been released, so now I'm eagerly awaiting:

5 Sassy Pink Lassies Lipglass
5 Cool Thrillseekers pigments
Soft Dazzle d/g
Cut A Caper l/s
Black Swan p/g
Lord It Up p/g

I shall let you know my thoughts when they arrive!

Welcome!

I'm so glad you decided to post. Thanks so much for your review!

 

[annegal]

So i had a question, when we get these sets, is the whole set considered one thing when you back to mac it or are each individual container a back to mac item?

The whole set is one thing, HTH

 

[sapnap]

Happy birthday Peachsuns!!!

 

[katred]

Welcome aboard and thanks for the review. I have to admit that, after promising myself I was done with this collection, I snuck back and got HBC. Even though I have Azalea, I find that to be more magenta/ fuchsia and HBC is more a bright pink. I know what you mean about FF. I have the Pro colour Fusion Pink and the same thing happens when I wear it. No matter how well I clean my face before passing out, ahem, falling asleep, I always wake up with lips that are stained a sort of candy pink.

Back on topic, I better click on Checkout Now button soon before it's too late!

 

[dreamer246]

I bought HBC today. I can't wait to wear it!

I think I'm done with this collection now, unless I decide to go back for Cut A Caper.

Sad but true moment for me: I don't care how much that cupcake is worth...I'm still totally eating it.

What did you end up ordering?

 

[TeresitaMC]

Holy cow

I wonder how much it would be if they took that diamond off of it

Sadly I'm forced to stick with my decision not to get the cool piggie set!

And I really hope Jigs & Jives comes out in another set that will be worthwhile to me or on it's own.

Jenn- got my bag today!!!!

The bags from this collection are awesome! Definitely my new makeup bag.

Haven't ordered the sets I want. I'm going through a bit of a MAC freeze thing, and if I get them for my birthday, I'll be happy, but I've decided not to stress about them.

thats good. sometimes it's nice to take a step back and realise that our make up obsessions should be fun and not stressfull

Exactly. And now that I'm taking a step back, I'm definitely richer and I'm obsessed with music again.

Feels like a much better fit for me.

I wore the six beauties palette for the first time today and I love it. It looked so awesome with the new nars gloss, downtown. I had no problems with pigmentation. I used all colors except the darkest one, heather belles, I think it's called. I am in love with hold my gaze. I need like six of those. So so happy with this palette and twists of tartan. Now I just need the neutral lip glass set and I am done with Mac until Xmas.

 

[Alty]

That's exactly it.

Oh, well. At least I know he'll be safe.

FYI I let Sir Teddy out of his box every time I need to touch him. I put him back in when I'm done so he's safely away from dust and feline attacks
