MAC Heavenly creature discussion

[Anitacska]

I'm wearing Solar Ray today and now I think I might NOT get a back up. It's pretty, but is actually quite light on me and I'm not sure I will use it that much. The one I got will probably last me forever anyway. Which is just as well as I might not even have time to go to the Mac counter this week, it's such a busy time of year for me (birthdays, parties, school performances, etc.).

u guys ffind any dupes yet? i found one for STRATUS, the sleek blush - its pretty similar i think.. pics etc on my blog..

 

[Anitacska]

It is permanent and in stock on the UK website.

I don't think it really is...unless it's store only, cause it sold out on the MAC site a long time ago and never got restocked.

I don't think Lightscapade is perm here in Germany. It sold out pretty quick and didn't come back since. Online that is, I don't know about stores.

So glad you are enjoying Earthshine, Pinkdollface! I am going to take a moment and enjoy it vicariously through you!

And thank you, I need some anti-enabling else I tend to obsess!

Yes, you are right, the combo of LY and EM would be a tad darker, because Rings of Saturn did show up lighter, with a hint of orange (or coral). I am excited for CotU!

Oh and thank you for reminding me about the duo fiber... I DO have the 131 brush...

But if you can believe it, its still tucked away, un-used! Time to whip it out!

You're welcome Even the anti-enabling doesn't always help me...
I'm glad you say that about the EM and LY combo since I just ordered RoS. For a second I was afraid that it would be too close.
You haven't used your 131 yet?! Go get it out girl!

I saw it at my counter today and it had sold out before. Also the MUA's told me weeks ago that it was perm from now on. I also still see it online here.

 

[Liz2012]

I was told in the MAC store here in Belgium it was going to be perm as well. And then a few weeks later i went to another MAC store, and they said Lightscapade was LE

So i picked one up back then just to make sure i had one.

Its up on the Australian website.  I'm gonna go to the counter tomorrow to see if i can b2m for fire sign

Hows that possible?!!?' My freestanding still doesn't have it in yet?!? Argh!

 

[Nima]

True, Pinkdollface....Hee Hee, in this case, I hope it works!
Oh Yay!

....RoS will look B-E-A-U-tiful on your pale skin!

You must post a pic of yourself wearing it, when it arrives!

 

[Nima]

MissSugarShack,
Indeed, Fire Sign is really pretty! Looks lovely on you! But I already have Cyndi and thus have not picked it up. Hope I am not missing out!

Please tell me I don't need it!

 

[Nima]

MissSugarShack,

Indeed Fire Sign looks lovely!
But since I have Cyndi, I am not picking it up! Hope I am not missing out

Please tell me I do not NEED it!

Was planning not to buy Fire Sign as well, but after reading all the positive things about it i'm not so sure anymore

Still really bummed about not buying Sail La Vie when i had the chance and don't wanna risk having skipper's remorse again

Ahh thanks! I will try to take a picture of it, but my camera isn't that great for picking up blushes.

Do I need centre of the universe? it looks easy to dupe, I feel like I have similar stuff, what` s the general opinion?

 

[thatKanojo]

Sad to hear you don't like it so much. I think that's the exact reason I like it so much.

 

[PeachTwist]

I tried Venus today. I wish I'd snapped a photo but I didn't have time.

But omg I LOVE THIS FREAKING COLOUR. I'm *almost* tempted to make it my first ever back-up but I never wear the same lipstick twice in a row so I'd feel silly getting a back-up when I could get another shade instead. Sounds weird, right? Ahhhh. LOVE this colour!

 

[lyseD]

Sorry to hijack this thread but it is the busiest one.

Any suggestions -- any brand (even drugstore) -- for a great mascara that is good for super sensitive eyes?

Thanks

 

[Carriee]

Ha ha! Isn't that amazing, Carrie! I am sure the rest of the world is eying the MAC UK site with envy! .....

*KIDDING!!*

On a side note, with everything still available, I wish I had picked up my goodies personally in-store, instead of worrying everything will sell-out and ordering it all online. Yodel has still not delivered and I am clueless about my "swirls"! I hope I end up getting pretty stuff! I got total duds delivered for Lightscapade even though I had ordered 3. They were ALL Beigescapades. I finally picked up a tad decent one from the few leftovers at the counter in Kingston!

My bets are on Light Year or Star Wonder to be sold out first. And among blushes, perhaps Ring of Saturn. What do you think?

Have fun swatching and shopping! Bet you will end up with more than what is on your list! Good luck with swirl hunting!!

Don't forget to come back and post pics!!

Everyone who has posted pictures of things they've ordered have gotten great swirls - I don't think you have to worry too much

Yeah, I'm betting on Star Wonder and maybe Venus. It might take awhile though. My counter still had lots of everything left and I think I bought the first Light Year

I ended up with Light Year, Venus and Fire Sign to keep Star Wonder company haha. I wasn't going to get Fire Sign, but it really IS like VG Cyndi with less coral in it, and VG Cyndi was my favourite lipstick until it melted :'( I skipped Ring of Saturn because it is like a slightly more orange version of NARS Orgasm on me and I like Orgasm better.

I'm totally satisfied with what I got! I think this is my biggest haul from one collection ever... I know it's only 4 items but I usually only get 1 or 2.



Light Year

Hello, Yet another lurker here that Heavenly Creatures that has brought out of hiding. First, I'd like to say THANK YOU to everyone here, the forums and posts have given me great advice. My wallet isn't so grateful though! I was wondering if any WOC have purchased/swatched Venus? I'm an NW45 and keep going back and forth about it. Thanks in advance!

Welcome hun!!!!

I'm NC40, and I purchased it...I'm just waiting for it to arrive I have a feeling that Venus is a great color for everybody. It doesn't seem too light, nor too bright. If you feel like it's too light, I think you can always use a lip liner close to your skin tone in color, and apply that to the outline of your lips before using Venus. At least, that's what I'm planning to do
