MAC - Wonder Woman Discussion

[elegant-one]

Your son is so cute!

I did get my replacement & it came all in one lovely piece unharmed Oh I ADORE AP - its so beautiful on! I bought backups of both of the blushes I love them so much. I'll see if I can get a good photo

I never post anything on here so I hope I complete this correctly but I just want to jump in and let you all know I bought the cutest Wonder Woman t-shirt at Old Navy since I can't get my hands on the tote

Aww . . . too bad WW & AK l/g didnt work for you. But $$$ saved for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yes SI is a big winner for me too !!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried WW and AK lipglass and they looked horrid on me. However I can see why everyone loves the formula. So smooth and silky. SI is a big winner for me though but since I ordered that online I will wait. I laughed outloud when I got to the counter and saw how big they were.

I've mentioned before my little boy is so excited his mom has WW makeup. Well I was trying on the lipglass (at the counter they looked fine but after some wear and then getting home not so much) and said I was going to return them he was so sad. "Mommy you don't like Wonder Woman lipstick?" I had to tell him that I was getting a different color and would still have WW lipstick. I believe he thinks I'm going to turn into WW when I wear the makeup.

How does one or two or three work some where and do not know what they sell even if it's a limited edition collection? Anyway, I went to take back the makeup bag, MA, and Marquise d', but came home with Pink Power and Emancipation. Swatched up Pink Power with all the MSFs I have and came to the conclusion that it looks similar to Redhead and I like redhead so PP is going back which is awesome because I was contemplating giving back Golden Lariat to have PP, but I have nothing that looks like GL so to me it's unique and I love it. I just have to be careful with the middle color because it's a bit orange-y.

Emancipation and Athena's Kiss are BEAUTIFUL, but I went with Emancipation and I love it. I like that the wand is big so I only need to go in once for product to apply. I'm very careful with taking the wand out so no splashes have occured yet. So glad I got it!

Im really liking the huge wand as well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If MAC was too come out with a perm line of jumbo liglasses, I would be all over them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, I tried my goodies!

I was bit worrying about Mighty Aphrodite because it didn't swatch well at the store yesterday. No matter how hard I tried, I did not see much colors on my hand. It swatched beautifully on my MA's skin (NC35/40?) but not on mine (NC15/20). I even let her swatch on my hand, but still no color. She laughed and said my skin eats makeup! Well, this morning at home, I tried MA using 129 brush, and it showed up easily! This blush is pigmented! And I only tried the lighter side. I cannot imagine how pigmented the darker side will look on my face. I will try that tomorrow.

Army of Amazons Opulash is great! Silly me tried it last night over my regular black mascara (I could not wait to try! LOL), and the green still showed up so bright! Beautiful! I cannot wait to wear it alone on weekend.

Marquise D' is pretty nude pink on my lips. It has a touch more pink than The Faerie Glen from Tartan Tale collection. I always wear pink or coral lip gloss over TFG, but I think I can wear Marquise D' alone. Very soft and pretty.

Ladies, is Amazon Princess a must-have?

 

[dxgirly]

Elegant, has your replacement arrived yet? Enjoy your goodies! Did you happen to take a picture of them? I always love your photographs.

Ladies, any thoughts on Amazon Princess blush? I've been thinking about it. Oh boy, I'm so weak!

I love it! I've worn it every day since I got it in the mail!!

 

[LMD84]

Elegant, once again your pictures are stunning! you really know your way around a camera!

 

[peachsuns]

Here ya go peachsuns - drool!

Elegant you killed me again! Your images are incredibly beautiful! I'm speechless!

I need medic now!
I can tell you love both blushes. Thank you!

 

[peachsuns]

Thanks, dxgirly! I love how AP looks on you! Gorgeous!

I don't know what is going on with my Nordstrom counter. They are giving me the runaround. Grrr... LOL

I placed an order for Pink Power, Mighty Aphrodite and Marquise'd from Nordstrom.com today along with a few other stuff from previous collections. I wasn't very hopeful about PP and MA as they are sold out everywhere but I now checked and it seems PP and MA were shipped but no tracking is available for them? Rest of my order including Marquise'd is still in process. This is weird..

Maybe not for Nordstroms - different items can ship from different locations/times from the same order. This is normal for their .com beauty orders. Don't worry! Call CS & they may be able to explain your order more.

 

[zewzeq]

Thanks. I'm glad to read this, feel more relaxed now. I thought i was out of luck with them after seeing they were sold out at MAC website. Can't explain how happy i am now.

I didn't plan on getting anything from this collection, but I couldn't stop thinking about Mighty Aphrodite so I went and grabbed it today I called my closest counter to make sure they had it and she made it sound like they a plenty. I'm LOVING IT <3 I looked at the lipglasses to see how big the wand was and I laughed! I have such tiny lips, application would be crazy difficult.

Went to the MAC store in King of Prussia (walked through Nordstrom and they had Wonder Woman directors chairs out) for my 'makeover' and to pick up my stash. My usual MA wasn't there so I got another MA who frankly, I wasn't that impressed with. I chose the Valiant shadow quad for her to try on me and while she did a good job, the color payoff was beyond lousy. She went for the Golden Lariat MSF to put on me and the gold did just what I thought it would--make my cheeks look like a hot mess. One big surprise--I tried on the green Opulash mascara (Army of Amazons) and it looked incredible!!! Made the eye shadow look even more of a hot mess if that's possible. So in the end I left with the Pink MSF (if my Nordstrom.com order comes through, I may return that PP MSF), the Army of Amazons mascara and the Secret Identity lipglass. I honestly didn't buy the lipglass for the color. It was how lovely the formula felt on my lips--love the non-stickiness. I did want Emancipation but since I already ordered Marquise 'd, not going for it.

A little note on the lipglasses (as an Engineer I could go into the physics but that'll bore folks) hold the container straight *up* pull the wand out slowly while turning it side to side while doing so. It works--no wasted lipglass.

I am in LOVE with the Pink Power MSF! The individual shades will make great eye shadow colors/highlighters as well.

crap, now I am regreting not getting Secret Identity. I can't get a fourth haul. It would confirm my addiction issues...

So I got my four items this afternoon and ofcourse Mighty Aphrodite came to me in six pieces in a partly cracked compact. I called Macy's and ofcourse they couldn't replace it b/c it was sold out so they refunded me my money and I get to keep the blush that I put back in place as best I could. It's so much prettier than I thought it would be and the only reason I ordered it was b/c it was the first thing to sell out on MAC. I'm still gonna use it, I just wish it still looked pretty. But overall, I'm really happy with everything I got.

 

[dxgirly]

Since we were in the area, the boy and I checked out the Macy's MAC counter after dinner. They were sold out of a lot of stuff already, but they still had MA blush! I turned the puppy dog eyes on my boyfriend, and now we're on our way home with it safely in my possession. Ehehe. He spoils me too much. But I am soooooo excited! I can't wait to try it out tomorrow! They were sold out of Marquise d' lipstick that I lost last night at work. Hopefully it will still be available online when I get paid next Thursday. *crosses fingers*

I now own the largest tube of lipgloss ever! I splurged on Russian Red and the Wonder Woman lipglass – psyched these reds actually work on me!

I got the red bag, the Defiance palette, the blue mascara, and Mighty Aphrodite blush. I couldn’t let myself walk away with Pink Power MSF – it did nothing for my face and I could never see myself justifying another MSF buy after getting one of those huge ass compacts. BUT, it’s already sold out here in ColoradoJ I almost bought one purely for that reason…I’m such a sucker.
