I think I've got my list narrowed down to a couple of shadows, a couple of lippies and a gloss.

Quick question, you guys... You can use a Macy's giftcard at Macy's MAC counters, right?

as usual i put stuff in my cart (all of the brushes and msf's) and will now ponder it all. I know I'll get the brushes, but need a moment to think about the MSFs and maybe the blushes before i hit that button.

I usually skip ordering online for swatching in stores. Especially since the "swatches" on the MAC site are notoriously bad. I will be going to Pro on Thursday. Bright and early. Thank god I'm off!
My current list stands. I really don't need brushes but that eyeshadow brush is slowly creeping onto my list!

My sister ( also a Spectra member, who doesn't post) lives in Atlanta. THATS RIGHT SIS I'M NAMING AND SHAMING YOU! When ever she comes out to Miami the 1st stop we make is to the South Beach Pro Store. I find it insane that Atlanta doesn't have a Pro.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Charged Water!

There are two kinds (if not more) Renewal Defense and Revitalizing Energy
​
My favorite was Revitalizing Energy. It was like Fix+ but it smelled better, felt fresher on the skin, and my skin really liked it.

No... You're right... It is basically Fix+

I'm just a MAC lover and I got hooked because:
1. It smells GREAT
2. It is made with diamonds!

I love diamonds, so having diamonds in my makeup seems glamorous to me, even though it is undetectable, LOL.

Does anyone know if the mineralize charged water is like Fix +? Is there a difference?

I asked about this. Fix+ has glycerine and Charged Water doesn't. The glycerine will be better for getting your makeup to adhere. Charged Water is more of just a skin hydration only.

Thanks for the information Tatyiona. I've been hearing great things about Inglot eyeshadows also, but was hesitant to try them
I went on their site & they are going to have something called "Rainbow" eyeshadows in another few weeks. I am holding out for that
to be out and then I will buy some. May I ask what color(s) you like best from Inglot? Or numbers, I believe they go by numbers & not names unfortunately.


Tatyiona said:
Other brands. I bought a 40 palette from Inglot and I've never in my life owned eyeshadow so soft, pigmented and gosh they blend like a dream. So I'm saving for more inglot palettes. If you haven't tried Inglot you need to because they will change your life.

But really, $22 for some water??? I've just sold my Fix+ Rose, the most pointless thing ever.

I can't wait :D Did i just spend 150 bucks on a collection? yes, i did.... damn o damn!
no, no brushes. They are expensive and I doubt their performance would be very different from the real ones. I feel when u use a brush you hardly use just one side, but the tip of it. And even if you are packing color on.... you use a stiffer brush's side, and int his collection they r all fluffy...so i dont see the point.

I have swatches up also :)

This collection is killing me. I loooove it!

The eyeshadows are to die for.

The blushes are the best mineral blushes I have ever seen from MAC.

I am not a fan of the MSF though. Rose Quartz is quite glittery and chunky imo.

Gem of roses is just... om my goooood!
