MAC - Semi Precious Discussion

[Ember2]

the MAC I usually go to lets me B2M for LE lipsticks if there in regular packaging. I say call them and make sure first.

Same here. But when the LEs are special packaging, they don't exchange them.

Thanks for the swatch links. Somehow those MES remind me of the EtK from Armani. So far it's just the green MES and one of the lipsticks. Not too bad, not too bad.

i now think i will get hint of sapphire, the dark red shadow and maybe one of the greens. then one or two msf's and the face brush

I feel you girl. its stressful and unfair for the ones that "writes" the paychecks of MAC employees. Costumers... are we always right? really?

hee hee! tell me about it! i wanna see the whole collection asap! swatched wet and dry if possible!

 

[murflegirl]

This collection is making my mouth water--I need more info, STAT!
Or maybe just more pretty pictures of those gorgeous-looking MES. I'm not even that into MES!
I'm an MSF girl and will probably pick up all 4....my wallet already cries.

I wonder if one of the eyes brush is similar to the 227!

 

[LMD84]

Hi. I was on the MAC live chat and I asked about the face brush...here is the response...also if anybody knows the pink lipstick lady gaga wears on tour please let me know!

nfo: Welcome to MAC Cosmetics Online. Your personal Makeup Artist will be with you shortly.
info: Hello. Thank you for your interest in MAC Cosmetics. My name is Jen D. How may I assist you?
Edel: Hi. I was wondering if MAC does the make up for the Lady Gaga tour and if so do you know what lipstick she wears during the tour (the strong pink lipstick
Jen D: Hello Edel!
Jen D: I don't have this information off hand, but I would be happy to put you in touch with our Corporate Consumer Communications Department for this information. You may contact them via email at[email protected] or if you are calling from outside North America, please contact this department in Toronto, Canada at: 905-470-7877.
Jen D: Is there anything else I may assist you with today while we are chatting?
Edel: thanks. Also I was wondering about the brushes launching with the semi-precious collection
Jen D: Ok, sure. What questions did you have?
Edel: I have seen pictures of a kabuki style face brush..is this to be used with foundation or powder and how is it different to the 182
Jen D: It can be used with liquid/cream or powder products. It also has an angle so it can be used in a variety of ways for different effects.
Edel: cool. what sort of ways would you use it?
Jen D: Most will probably use it for powder and foundations. You can use it for body makeup or strong contouring on the cheeks too.
Edel: If I already have the 182 is it worth getting? is there much difference between the 2 brushes apart from the angle?
Jen D: I would check it out in person when it launches. If you like having a variety of brushes, I think you'll love it.
Edel: Thanks a million. Is it a due fibre brush? Also, do you know when the semi-precious collection is launching in Europe?
Jen D: You're welcome. It is a duo sided brush. The dark side is natural and the light side is synthetic. This is what makes it so versatile.
Jen D: I'm not sure of the launch date in Europe. Most likely July. I suggest contacting a location near you to confirm though.
Edel: Thanks for all your help
Jen D: You're welcome! Enjoy
Jen D: Thank you for your visit! You may close the chat window by clicking the "End Chat" button at the top right once. You will be able to request that a copy of this chat be emailed to you as well as answer a few questions about your experience.

[Shoegal-fr]

I hear these MES are similar in texture/quality to the SB and VV ones. Anyone else hear this?

I haven't heard anything directly, but it seems that Mac have gradually been trying to ameliorate the quality of their MES, so it wouldn't surprise me if there followed more in the SB/ VV vein- those formulas were super-popular!

yeah i have heard that from various people too - which makes me very happy i must say!

My MA told me about this collection and the first thing that are going to sell out first are the brushes. The brushes are going to be the stars of this collection and also the MES and the MSFs will be the must-haves as well.
