Our Team Treasurer has advised us to spend ALL our money on SWIRLS...
Now we must call on Team Butcher, Team Baker, and Team Candlestick Maker to ensure our survival... Hopefully they can provide us food, shelter, and light... In exchange we will allow them to look upon our Swirls! Good Job Treasurer Gracie

Nope my skin is pretty pale all over. Yery much a bronze/peach on my face as well. lol need's more pink in a mine as the copper swirls are very strong in it. I just don't tan, I freckle and get a tiny tiny bit darker but still no where near as dark as NC15.Happy Birthday! Go spoil yourself! Neutrals look good on everyone IMO.
I don't have olive tones but otherwise I totally sympathize with you. Until I moved to Texas I was probably that light as well.
I bet you totally passed on CotU then! It looks sooo orange to me as it is. But have you tried LY on your cheeks yet? Maybe it's not as bad as you fear because orange blush can look good.
Best of luck! I hope you can get your goodies because you'll love them!

This is random but, I HATE it when people say anything along the lines of: "...But I don't have nearly as much makeup as you do" OR "I think you have WAAAY more than you need; you're never going to finish all of that." So what? I can't imagine spending what you do on the things you buy, but you don't see me judging you.
Why must you make a point of how much I own? Ugh. And to be frank, I have a baby collection compared to most makeup addicts! When I say that though as an answer I get "Yea, but for being a makeup fiend, in 2 years thats a lot of stuff" -.- It's like fuck you. I know my limit, even though I'm only 19, I'm smart about my purchases.... 99% of the time!

I totally agree! I cringe when I look at how big my collection is, but I love every single thing and it makes me happy!
I used to spend all of my disposable income on clothes anyway haha
Everyone is allowed a hobby to invest in - makeup is mine

^ I know right?! I KNOW I'll never finish everything but who cares!? I spend a lot of money on make-up, nailpolish en beauty care in general, I know I do, but it's a hobby and it makes me happy! Your hobby is getting drunk every night/week, now that's a real investment hm?

Exactly! Couldn't agree more. Or I personally don't think I could spend $2000 on a Louis Vitton or Prada etc like other people do, but thats their choice so whatever floats their boat. I'm happy with my Winners/TJ MAX/Ross/F21 finds
I wear a backpack most of the time anyways lol. This reminds me of a story... I was in Sephora not too long ago when these 2 East Indian ladies came in and looked SUPER SNOBBY. I smiled at them, cause I smile at everyone and they just stared at me, one was wearing a McQueen Scarf, Louboutins, True Religion etc, hair perfect the works. Now I thought she looked great! LOVED the outfit, what I didn't like was her snobiness towards the other workers and customers. Lady you may think you're the flyest shit up in here, but you're not so please get over yourself, we're all equal. I heard her saying things in Punjabi (I know, cause I'm east indian as well) and I was like :O She walked out empty handed as well... But why must people be so rude? Anyways, she spends her money on fine clothes, we spend ours on makeup

Ohhh yes, I am stocked up on my MSFs for sure! Usually I stop at one BU but something was nagging me to buy just one more of Star Wonder and Light Year! I had some will-power that was slowly chipping away lol and I finally cracked after reading all the glowing reviews of Venus and couldn't pass it up! Team Hypno-swirls is oodles more fun than Team Will-power LMAO!I "LOL'd" when I read this...Oh the days gone by where you were skipping! I'm so glad you didn't! I imaging these products look superb on you! And you obviously will NOT be running out anytime soon! Great Haul and AWESOME lack of restraint duckrodeo!
It's a lot more fun to have you on Team "HAVE TO HAVE MOREEEEE SWIRLSSSS!"
I took some pictures of comparisons of Venus to some perm line lipsticks (except for Sweetie because MacAddictNurse is awesome and already took a pic!)
On the top is Venus, on the bottom is Lovelorn:
Lovelorn is definitely pinker, and you get that sort of berry-pink showing through on Venus which is what reminded me of Sweetie!
On the left is Venus, and on the right is Chatterbox:
Chatterbox is an amplified creme whereas Venus is a lustre. Their colors are definitely in the same family, but Chatterbox of course wins out in the pigmentation department. That little sliver on the left was me experimenting with Venus layered over Chatterbox, which didn't really add or subtract anything, so that's why I cropped out as much of it as I could!
My perty perty items and their swirls that I added to my collection today, minus one Venus lipstick because that baby's staying in the box til Venus #1 gets used or lost, or melts, or whatever may happen in its lipstick lifetime lol.
I tried to get a Stratus with as little of the brown as possible, but most of them did have a considerable amount. I feel that the one I chose has less swirls of colors so if I really wanted, I could get a smaller brush and dab at the purple on the edges. Most of the swirls did not have much variety (for either item, MSF, Blush or shadow), so it's literally like they were produced in the same section and then packaged up and sent to the locations, because most of them looked identical. I didn't get to pick out the Light Year since it was the last one in the store, but the Nordstrom I went to before the full MAC store was sold out of Light Year, so I can't complain that I was able to score another BU, plus I'm satisfied that this Light Year is light on the gold.
My Light Years & Star Wonders! The ones I picked up today are on the top. The other two Light Years were from mac.com, and the two Star Wonders were from my local Nordstrom for in-store pickup!
My Magnetic Attraction!
The Nordstrom counter had a MA shadow that was more on the yellow side and swatched pretty pale-peachy pink. The full-sized store had a MA that was similar in swirls to the one I picked out, and it swatched this gorgeous berry pink color that was amazing! I didn't realize until I looked over the picture that mine has a little chip taken out of the edge
but it's really miniscule so I guess it will have to do! Again, most of their MAs looked pretty similar. There was one with more vortex-looking swirls and I was curious about it, but I didn't want to BU an MES, because I don't feel that Iuse them enough to warrant a BU (same with MBs), even though it might have looked like a different color, there was no way for me to know unless I bought it, and I didn't want to feel buyer's remorse if I didn't end up loving it separately from the MA I knew I wanted for sure!

I wore Star Wonder today, and whilst it is really pretty, it is so pigmented that I have to do some major blending out even when I only tap my brush on it once for each cheek!
Light Year requires no effort and that's why I love it

That's what I love about it, too! It's like Lightscapade where it's hard to over-do! Star Wonder is awesome though, too! I love it to layer over blushes just to give more of a pinky glow!Quote:

I'm still trying to get caught up on this thread - I was out of town for a few days, and that's why I went back to the MAC counter today lol! I was in Eastern Oregon which is far, far away from MAC civilization! Had to get my fix
but on that note: Happy Belated Birthday, Singer! I hope you had a great "Dirty 30" !!!

I agree - Star Wonder is very pigmented. I just used a tiny bit and still had to blend quite a lot. There's no way I'd want to have to put the work required into Earthshine.Quote:

I definitely agree with both of you, I joined this site because none of my friends understand and I was looking for friends to share my passion with. They are always making jokes and throwing little rocks at me because of love for makeup. I honestly don't care because I love my makeup and I buy it with my own money so next time anyone says anything to you tell them to stop being jealous and buy some makeup of their own it might make them a little nicer to look at lolQuote:

Haha thanks! I spend basically all of my time in a clinical environment, and wearing pretty makeup makes me feel better and more confident! Plus it is nice to do girly stuff to get ready in the morning - it makes getting up at 6am a lot more palatable when you have lovely MAC to look forward too
