MAC Quite Cute Discussion

[Alisha1]

Thanks so much guys It's nice to know you guys are here *hugs*

It does feel like I need a fresh start, thats exactly what i'm think, that I can always go back if I feel I made the wrong decision I mean I'm only 18...Its just hard to make that first step...Thanks though and yes to more blushes! my blush collection has expanded to four and hopefully five tomorrow! (lol small collection but I only started collecting blushes like last month!)

damn my typing is for the dogs.. lol

my typing always sucks! more-so now because i am getting used to a new keyboard! they keys are in different places on a mac and they do different things so i am kinda confused!

Lou, I can watermark them, but it is actually not a good idea for me to do so because I am a custodian of the images.. technically they belong to MAC (and that goes for everybody who copies).

also, I just don't have all the time in the world to do this.. my work is time consuming as it is

ah i understand! and it sucks that your work is taking up so much of your time right now. hopefully things will settle down for you in the future.

With me it's because I don't know where i'm going in life and I went from last year january getting ABB in my a-level exams to getting straight U's in june. I don't feel motivated at all and I don't even want to continue with my education because I'm not happy. I don't want to leave either because than I'm like out on my own and jobs are soo hard to find these days I would love a job though just because I want some responsibilities and I want to become independent. Everyone's just telling me to stick it out till the end of college in june but I dunno...it's results day this thursday...I know I did bad but I still don't know how I'm going to face people asking me 'what did you get?!' If I can't handle it I think I just might leave.
I honestly hate being like this cause I feel like I bring everyone else down.

try to not get so worked up over it, just do your best and see where it takes you

i went to uni for 4 years doing graphic design, and now i cant find a job in what i love, but im plodding along, working in a pharmacy because one day my time will come, i just have to wait for it

what i'm trying to say is, finish what u are doing and then make the best of the oppertunities afterward, nothing is permenant, you can always go back to college and do something else when u are done

you may never see those people that ask you 'what did u get' after college, so they wont matter anymore!

Thanks I think I'll just try to do my best, as for uni I barely even want to think about that! I'm not happy in education so I don't think it's for me... I know I hate when people dont talk to you for a whole year and than all of a sudden on results day they ask like it's their business...I think i'm just going to tell everyone except my close friends that I never got my results and hopefully avoid dirty stairs from my teachers...! I'm so gonna cry on thursday...I think i'm gonna try going selfridges and treating myself to something from bobbi brown...

I love this entire collection! I'm a bit of a noob to mac and it was only when I found specktra that I realised how many limited edition collections mac has a year!

Obviously the collections overlap a lot (april and may seem fairly busy lol!) but how long are the collections usually available for? does it depend on the size of the collection? or just until the stock is gone? sorry for all the questions!!

Susanne & Lou,

I have the blushes in their final revised edition.. and can legally post them and will do so tomorrow if I don't drop dead from this cold..lol.

I can tell you that the colours are quite pale and only the pink one will really show up on most skins.. the lavender and peach are Quite Cute, but quite pale -- afraid that on any skin over NC25, this will only show up as a slight sheen (which could work too). Ultimately, this is up to individual preference. I also have the fab pink ls which I have snagged and am wearing.. for a test run you know

YAY!!! Being a pale NC15 I am loving this and brighter blushes don't seem to like me. But I know so many may not be so pleased.

. Limited Editions are out untill the stock runs out but always check other stores and counters as stock and amount they sell will always vary. Some collections and products are obviously more popular than others and sell out more quickly.

A bunch of us here are die hard MAC addicts and if we are loving a new collection we stalk the MAC site right before launch date and order quickly even if it's 3am But usually even for addicts you do not have to do that.

That's great to know, thanks shadowaddict! At least I can be prepared over the next few months so!

I still am quite looking forward to the lavender one I'm pretty pale, although I've never got my skin matched to a MAC foundation so I don't know what shade I am, and sometimes I like pale colors that will work more as a sheen and add just a little color.

if you like something you have to take it immediatly!! I went to a Mac store the day after the launch of Venomous Villains and almost everything was finished XD

 

[User38]

Lou, I can't quote..

but to respond to your questions, I will take a new pic and swatch Hang Loose and the Lavender blush side by side.. they will show up on NC20 which is what I am.. afraid that more than that, they will show as highliters or worse, look ashy.

I always test everything wet and dry.. but with these new blushes, using wet only exacerbates the whitish undertone.

when I get home on Thursday I will post up.

 

[sunshine rose]

The worst is that I don't live near a mac and mac online don't deliver to where I live I'll have to plan a day trip for the release date!

 

[User38]

Irish! I had an Irish granny.. who passed, but was a hoot!!

order online darlin, and if you have any questions -- someone in here will try to help you out as best they can..me included..lol

They are a wild bunch, but lovely ladies

 

[xasperadastra]

Same here but I can e-mail a counter "near" my city (2H with train) and tell them what product I'm going to buy!!

Wow, that really blows (or sucks).....not good

Wow, that really blows (or sucks).....not good

bt tt means more money saved for the nc25 and above (which includes me: nc30).. im somewhat relieved.. weird..

 

[User38]

now I am not saying some of you won't like it.. it's like I did say with the Tartan Tale es, and glitter in Champale.. to each their own, I am just saying what I did observe for my work.

yw.. but don't thank me yet.. I may not live till thursday to post the pics

 

[GlamQueen21]

I cannot wait for your swatches HerGrayness! That way I can decide what I want from this collection. I still want all three of the mineralize blushes since they look to pretty to pass up.
