MAC - Semi Precious Discussion

[chickatthegym]

^^ Yes, enjoy Faux Gold! It's gorgeous and really good quality without fall out (surprisingly LOL) I love it for fall!
Have you seen TiffanyD's tutorial with Faux Gold? Love it!

I thought Rose Quartz msf would be amazing on my skin but Crystal Pink looked way better. Good thing I can still get it!

I just layered Jade's Fortune over Delft PP today and I got a lighter green leaning teal, it was almost like Pastoral pigment--loved it. (I applied it wet) Used Dark Envy as a liner and it made the green in it pop.

If you wait a few months, some of the products will likely show up at CCOs. Also, it's worth keeping an eye out at any local Mac stores and counters you might have. I find that they often have limited but not current items hanging around, often in containers next to the regular displays.

yup checking cco's is always a good thing to do as well as having a snoop in the specktra sales threads

Are you getting BU's?

 

[GlamQueen21]

^No. I never got the chance to get those MSFs. I only got Rose Quartz MSF from this collection.

 

[Richelle83]

I'm a little bummed that I missed out on Rose Quartz, still debating on getting Pearl and Crystal Pink.

 

[missah]

I've got Rose Quartz and I have no idea what to do with it. its absolutely gorgeous but Its not pigmented enough to be a blush without having too much shimmer.
What should I do with itt?!

 

[HoneyMilk]

Could you layer it over blush... like as a wash?

 

[Piarpreet]

I use it when i do a nice contour. Like a blush-highlight hybrid

just out of my weird curiosity i have to ask this - did you take your avatar picture with a sony nex camera with the colour focus feature? or was it just done in photoshop? either way i love it! i have a competition at work coming up where you have to take a picture using a nex5 camera that shows off it's features and i was going to do a red lipstick picture like yours!

Aww thanks! I used Picnik to alter it. Is the Sony a good camera-I'm looking for something with more features.

ah i see! thanks! and yeah the sony one is pretty cool. the nex5 (i think it is called that in the states too) is sold as a compact version of a slr - it has the body of a compact and then comes with different lenses so you can buy as many or as little as you want. i find it pretty easy to use too. however they are not cheap - ours sell for about £400-£500 depending on which lens pack you buy. the new model has just been released too and it is called the nex5n.

I haven't had any problems with my 128 shedding, and I do really abuse it with cream products and the like......
Love that brush

Also, I just wanted to say that CRYSTAL PINK IS AMAZING!!!! I buckled and bought one the other day online...I had No idea it was such a fabulous neutral-cool sheen, and with no silly glitter! I think it might actually be my favorite MSF of all times.....
