Reel Sexy & Trés Cheek

[kimbunney]

Thanks for the compliments guys. Very appeciated. No I did not wear a liner with it. Its straight from the tube.

I haven't checked out the collection in person. I have to wait to get off work tonight then straight to the MAC counter.

Looking at your Blush review now StyleBlack, FoJ still has me wondering if I can get away with it as a blush. Lord knows I do not want another highlighter.

I had so much fun. My fav. Mac makeup artist was there and he always makes it a joy. So I got FoJ blush. I'm so glad I went in person. It's wonderful on me with a light hand and even more amazing with a pink or purple blush. I like it more than MM. Love cloud and Magenta looked great on me as well but I passed. Also I had heroine lipstick on and he dabbed some FoJ in the center of my lips. It was so pretty!!! Def. can't wait to recreate that. I also got the eye brush in the ED. I only got two eyeshadows. I wanted three but skipped Havanna because it's like any other brown. It's pretty tho. I got Grand Galaxy and BLue ORbit. I loved Glorfiy swatched!! But as a highlighter it was just too dark and pigmented. As a eyeshadow it was awesome. Superb was just okay to me, I'm still in love with lightscapade. But I had so much fun and I'm satisfied with my stuff I bought online and in store.

Nice! Glad you liked FOJ. Did he use it as a blush or a highlighter on you? I'm so curious to see it! Take pics please lol

looking at the pics on your blog post, i think the blushes all look really good on you...none of them seem too sheer/ashy from the pics....?

As a highliger on top of Lovecloud and Magenta. It was wonderful today I wore it as a blush and I like it. I'll try to post a pic later but I don't know how it will show up on camera unless I pack it on! I'm so glad I didn't skip it tho.

The counter only got three and the MUAs took them all....and nope everyone near me is sold out. I am hoping the website restocks.

are there any other counters near you? maybe the website will restock...eventually...

 

[bobbiedoll03]

I picked up Superb EDSF...I fell in love with it once I swatched it.

And also Heroine, I could not leave it there.

Yey got my black box today. Superb and wog are amazing . I want to dive in them. I will have to wait for next week for glorify. As for the blushes I ordered 4 and currently am liking 2 based on swatches on hand but might change my mind if they look different on cheek. Got pink cult which is beautiful. I thought it would be ashy looking at it in the pan but once swatched it turns really darker than expected . MM ofcourse looks nice. LC although swatches nicely but looks average pink. Not as special as expected. IF did not show on my hands. After swatching heavly did turn to a similar pink tone like LC. So not sure yet about that one. Very happy with rich core. Will try to get GG and MP but next week if funds are available. Would love to try the cream sheens as I have never got one due to expense . Have got a dazzle cream once in a CCO and wondering if they are of similar formula. This is the first time I have spent so much on Mac at once,but I was expecting it and for now no more Mac until Mac by request. I hope!

I will be playing in makep for the next few days. Heaven help me!

I bought quite a bit as well and will be busy for a while.

My Haul:

Reel Sexy - Watch Me Simmer. I still want to look into Heirloom eye kohl, Pink Cult blush and Star Quality gloss

Tres Cheek- Lovecloud, Modern Mandarin, Peony Petal, Immortal Flower

Extra Dimension - everything! Yikes! all skinfinishes, eyeshadows and brushes

I haven't worn all the shadows but of the ones I've worn, Grand Galaxy is tops so far.

 

[DILLIGAF]

I went back and got Warm Thunder. I'm not usually a fan of silver shades but this color has more grey in it. I can't wait to use it foiled!!!

 

[Copperhead]

Picked up my Heroine lippie today and I must say it is LOVE. I almost had to tear the post office up for this baby! LOL!

 

[DanceLovesMAC]

So I called my counter again today to put a Modern Mandarin on hold after they told me for the last three days they werent getting it until April 13th...and she had the nerve to tell me they were sold out! I really feel like the workers hoard stuff for themselves at this specific counter....but I will jump down off my soapbox.

BLAH so no pretty blush for me

If you were at a counter I doubt it. MAC Artists can only buy from MAC stores or Online in order to redeem their discount. There were most likely just a ton of preorders for MM since it seems to be on everyone's list for a variety of skin tones.

aww thanks! I tried them on again today, and they all just look artificial somehow... I REALLY wanted MM to work, but it looked a mess. :'(

 

[StyleBlack]

Wow! It was the opposite for me. It looked better on my face than arm.

ooo! How do you like the brushes?? I haven't made time to test them yet!

 

[Icecaramellatte]

Hmmm. . . I'm still testing them out myself. I like the Cheek brush for applying product on one side and blending with the other. The eyebrush? I need to find the best way to use it. I have the other split eyebrush ( 235) and I think I like that better. This one I think is for blending. Right now I'm in love with my 226 and 286 brush for blending so I'm not really sure I need the split fiber version.

When I called them like a week in advance up until the day before they kept telling me they were not taking pre-orders for the collection. Then when I actually went in the day of release...they said they only got 3 of the MM blushes in. Not sure if they bought themselves, or held them for friends....but im pretty sure from hearing the sideline conversations that they had something to do with them not being accessible at all to regular customers.

This has happened before...with candy yum yum and other coveted items like that.

[DanceLovesMAC]

@bobbiedoll03 I guess I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. But if you have experienced this with previous collections, then it's true that it may be a good time to say something. Maybe more than anything let customer service know that sending only 3 of a popular LE item is just not enough. Even at a small counter, it's a recipe for disaster.

 

[Prettypackages]

any swatches of Superb on WOC?
