MAC - Semi Precious Discussion

[Prettypackages]

awww *sniff* I hope mine isn't a dud... they are all out.

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.....

I did not appreciate it at first, but I am growing to love Crystal Pink more and more too. It is a great bronzer and/or contour if I use just the nipple part

You know me....I'm crazy for Crystal Pink, especially as a fantastic transition from summer into fall and beyond. For sure one of my top favorite MSFs, too!

Funny but I haven't used the 2 msf's I purchased from this collection yet: Goldstone and Rose Quartz.

I decided to use up some of my older msfs before I attacked these.

I have used Smoked Ruby and Golden Gaze and love them!

The texture is out of this world and no glittery fall-out.

I have to admit that I am kicking myself for skipping the MES in this collection, especially Faux Gold and Dark Indulgence.

dark indulgence is VERY VERY similar to night porter by NARS, which is permanent. And faux gold... i havent seen anything like it so i cant recommend

i feel this way about quartz fusion!

I ended up buying most of the collection of MES and i kind of regret it, i find that i barely reach for them over my other shadows. They just didnt end up having the colour pay off that i was hoping for to work with

[GlamQueen21]

Really? Which of the MES did you buy from this collection?

I wish I had gotten more MES from this collex. I only bought 4 MES (Blue Sheen, Dark Indulgence, Golden Gaze, and Smoked Ruby), and I really like them.

I actually got lucky enough to find a Dark Indulgence AND Warmth of Coral Blush at my free standing MAC just last week! Check with your local counters, a lot of times they have left over items just hanging around in their drawers. People don't think to ask for them after the displays are down! Happy hunting!

 

[Piarpreet]

if you send me through PM your email address ill send u swatches side by side.

 

[GlamQueen21]

OK PMing you now!

Good idea!

Priarpeet I am going to check out NightPorter now, since the Dark Indulgence MES I missed and wanted

BTW, Feeling Flushed blusher is the perfect one for that just coming in out of the snow flush on the cheeks--I take it and swipe down from the apples of the cheeks towards the ear...

 

[PixieDancer]

Let me know if you have any luck martiangurll!
I went to a different MAC counter today and found 2 Surf Baby shadows I missed... I get lucky all the time sniffing in the drawers! HeeHee

 

[princess sarah]

I ended up getting Smoked Ruby, Dark Indulgence, Quartz Fusion, Clarity, Hint of Saphire, Jades Fortune and Unsurpassable.

I have only used each of them about once and never really reached for them again, which is a shame

 

[Piarpreet]

I use the sooo much! an MES and then a matte crease color. It's so handy and easy to do

 

[princess sarah]

yeh i found them easy to use.. but i tend to reach for my bright colours more often from mac, inglot and sugarpill.

i like the look of the MES from the collection in the pan and the colours... just not something i reach for alot which is disappointing and now i wish i had not got as many from the collection

You know, I have a random number generator (yes Im that much of a dork) on my iphone (its an app). I randomly assign days for blush picking, lip picking, or eyeshadow picking. So, for instance... If I am in a lipstick mood, I get a number from app and coount lippies until i reach that number and I build my look from that item. You'd be surprised how much fun it is and how much you reach for stuff that would otherwise be forgotten in your stash...

 

[GlamQueen21]

Aw! I was really overwhelmed with this collection and ended up with Pressed Amber l/s, Gem of Roses l/s, Geo Pink c/g, Natural Flare c/g and Rose Quartz MSF.
