MAC - Semi Precious Discussion

[Anitacska]

I have a 10% code that I just got from Debenhams, but it's for between the 28th July and 31st July and I dont't know if it'll work for beauty purchases, but in any case it's PP3P. Sadly I don't think any of the fall collections will be out by then, I really could do with some money off the Guerlain lipsticks as they're £28 each full price! :O

I was going to wait until Debenhams had another 10% off thing to buy a couple of brushes and maybe Crystal Pink, but it seems that this Duty Free thing they have on will be going on until the end of the month So I might just say what the heck with it and buy them on Friday before I go on holiday!

the enabler is getting enabled? nice.... karma, dude....it always comes back at you

I'm sure you won't regret it if you get it

 

[Mac-Guy]

Hahah, I shall wait for the cheek sculpture collection. With all the new collex coming up in the next few weeks, I'm sure WoC will hang around for a bit before it disappears forever.

£28

Oh dear! Do you think the brushes (234 and 179) will hang around for another week or so, or should I just bite the bullet?

 

[Anitacska]

No idea. I refuse to spend that much money on brushes, so I don't really pay much attention to them.

Can I just say how much I LOVE Smoked Ruby? I don't have to apply it wet for me to get that amazing reddish brown sheen, and it goes on so effortlessly and smoothly. Just used it on top of my NYX Milk pencil. I'll have to try it without the base to see if I get the same result.

I love Musky Amethyst. It totally surprised me when I applied it. Its beautiful and I will haul 2 before the collection goes. I feel lucky to like a color that no one else is really into. I think its beautiful on WOC.

I tried Rare Find over Pixie Epoxy today. Whilst the colour appeared brighter, unfortunately it creased on me and started looking rather yucky. Admittedly it has been rather warm today, and I did wear it through an energetic dance class an hour and a half long. When I tried it over the Epoxy on the back of my hand, I left it for a while then rubbed lightly to see how it fared, and it actually rolled off my skin. I've not had it do that over just UDPP.

I saw it in person in the MAC store today. Planning to B2M for it as it is sooo pretty!

So this is my haul from this collection



My first GG looks a little weird, almost like a duo, lol. I think about giving the other one back, because it doesn't have enough gold for my liking.

I really love your black golden glaze instead!! I'd like to see a swatch, probably it's like a black with gold reflections! *_*

 

[Piarpreet]

so i got my 4th package lol Im obsessed. QF is a glitter mess/bomb. I think darker skin tones would find this more flattering. NOT for cool tones pale gyals....

My extra faux gold was orange and i was hoping for a more burgundy one, but then i got smoked ruby so ill stop trying

jade's fortune my 3rd attempt and i give up on ti, just like unsurpassable my 3rd attempt and still green lol

I like the new clarity better though. A lil darker.

Mineral mode might be cool for a winged liner look... just like a carvas sort of eyeshadow.

NOW I HAVE TO STOP!!!!!!!

I'm waiting for another package. I know I know.... this collex i love it too much!

 

[Mac-Guy]

You will love FF. Unlike the pan, it swatches very natural on the cheek even on lighter complexions.

Ok ok. I need to stop too. I went back today and got Rare Find. It is the last eyeshadow from the collection that interested me a little but I got one with a lot of purple and I love it!!! Officially...DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even after having this a week it is easilly my favorite MAC collection ever.

 

[LMD84]

luckily this collection all seems to be available in the uk which means next week when i get paid i can buy more!

After watching Tiffany D's video using Faux Gold with Rubanesque I decided I wanted it after all. So I ordered it along with Rubanesque so copy her look. I also popped a Dark Indulgence into my basket because it was a toss up between that and NARS Night Porter but the NARS shadow is 50p more (50p to spend on something else haha) and I really like how the MES are swatching and working on me. I also got Gesso Pro Pan as I needed a matte white and only have shimmery whites and then a 217 and 222 brush duplicates because I am sick of having dirty brushes all the time and I'm too lazy to wash them after each use and only do it about once a week or less if I've used light colours... yeah I know... gross but only I use them and I'm still alive baha

I was using Gesso only yesterday and thinking i should use it more! it makes a nice change to have a matte white enjoy all your new goodies!
