MAC Heavenly creature discussion

[Jenrbelt]

I am loving Pleasureseeker. I actually got this buy accident! The MUA gave it to me instead of Cut-a-caper, and when I got home I put it on right away thinking it was CAC. Wore it for about an hour, then began swatching against some other lipsticks and that's when I noticed it wasn't CAC! :shock: Had to run out immediately and get CAC before it sold out at my local store... but I have worn PS much more, and it wasn't even on my list! Trying so hard to resist BU's of PS, Meteoric, Light Year, and Magnetic Attraction. I never buy BU's because I am a fickle makeup person...when the next collection emerges, I jump on board with that and everything from the previous collection gets moved to the back burner. Sigh...I DON'T NEED BU'S (more to self than anyone else)!

 

[Jenrbelt]

Also wondering how Jete from By Request compares to Magnetic Attraction?

 

[MaCchick43]

I tried Aurora today. It looks like a gross brown on me? Anyone else have Aurora. How is yours?

This is pretty much the case for me, especially with face products. Unless I've found something that is OMG HG status, I'll use it/become obsessed with it for awhile, then move on to the next great thing. I'm more likely to use a BU for lippies though, so I always consider buying those.

The only things have backups of are some LE brushes, Marquise D' l/s, Jaunty e/s, Chanel Beige Lame e/s and Rose Platine e/l.
I KNOW i'll use them up though - I've just hit pan on Beige Lame and have almost finished Marquise D'

I also BU LE brushes. Better safe than sorry.

Ah, yes! I also BU LE brushes that I like! I also BU'd the 222 once I found out it was being dc'd and picked up a few more from the CCO.

I have only swatched mine and not worn it yet, but I feel like I have to deliberately dip into the deeper pink more to get the color I want out of it.

Gracie90: I am wondering what your final HC haul has ended up to be....:eyelove: Your first haul was nearly identical to mine! I think you have only BU'd a few since, but not sure!

 

[MACerette]

OT: does anybody know anything about the MAC by Request collection by any chance? I really want to know which products made the final cut...

I haven't got any back ups yet and I'm too scared to go to MAC again - those damn swirls will hypnotise me into getting more!
I ended up with all the MSFs and MBs, and Neo Nebula, Water, Aurora and Earthly MES
What did you pick up??

 

[Richelle83]

So far I have tried all as eyeshadows Aurora and Universal Appeal together, Solar Ray and Supernova together. I did use Neo Nebula and some Inglot shadow. I'm in love! Used Pixy Epoxy as a base for them and seriously amazed.

You are smart by not going back! My original hall was all MSF's, all MB's, five MES's, Meteoric, Celestial Kiss and Cut-A-Caper (which ended up being Pleasureseeker....so had to go back for CAC, while there got Fire Sign, Galaxy Rose, Neo Nebula). I didn't get the two blue shadows or the silvery one, and didn't get Venus or Cusp of Dawn, or Astral and Strictly Plutonic. I am emberassed to say I bought all that!:barf: But now because of this thread I am worried about Venus...but am just trying to "just say no!" to the voices in my head!:bump:

Thanks! I couldn't find it. My eyes must be too tired from all that reading

 

[CartoonChic]

Finally uploaded my MES pics. These were all ordered online. The swatches didn't come out right, so I have to redo them tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be so cloudy and I'll have more sunlight. After playing with Sky some more, I still don't have that "happy I bought it" feeling. I don't think I'm keeping it. Any takers?


Bright Moon



Earthly



Neo Nebula



Magnetic Attraction



Sky

 

[Icecaramellatte]

Thanks everyone xo

Wow! You got some great ones. Ring of Saturn is fantastic! You can get most of the light part with a touch of the darker color. Really pretty! Your Universal Appeal has tons of purple (wearing that one now

) and your Neo Nebula is really unique! I've never seen one like that and it has tons of pink!

 

[Icecaramellatte]

I'm giving ros another try today, though very very lightly with a 187. it's still pretty intense. metallic as you say baysaz....I'm going to wait till I get to work to give a verdict. everything's different in natural light.....

I wore that look the other day. I'm really trying to use Gilt by Association and the other Style Black repromotes. I've waited so long to get my hands on them just to ignore them with all these new collections coming out. I think they all will work in some fashion or another as crease shades with most looks.

 

[ahoythere]

       Thanks! :kissy:

Is Pleasureseeker really the color it looks in the pics? It looks so brightly pigmented, a lovely pinky coral. I may have to go check that out....... Thanks for the swatches Mami! :eyelove:

Oh, I should have backed up Beige Lame. Love it. I can totally understand how you hit pan. I've been using my sparingly (unconsciously I think). Love it. I've never thought to back up LE brushes. That is not to say I don't later wish I had another. Marquise D was really popular though. I wish it had worked on me. I can see it being repromoted.
