MAC Heavenly creature discussion

Thanks guys! I love greens so much! And these are so easy to work with and have awesome pigmentation.

Sounds like a good idea. You've already proven why it's important to have a BU! I think that justifies buying a new one

Sorry to hear that! I never back anything up, but I forgot my makeup bag on my vanity on Monday. I had a couple of important meetings and there was no way I wasn't going to touch up at least lipstick during the day. I was originally wearing Fire Sign but tried on both Ladybug and Cockney at MAC. Both were nice, but the MUAs both enabled me to get another Fire Sign instead because it's a good colour for me and LE and because I'll go through a lustre more quickly than a satin or matte. So I have my first backup. Only by accident. Sorta.

......STUNNING Pinkdollface!!!

Love these bold greens on you.....and Devil is very pretty on your cheeks!

Here are pictures of the look I did. I'm wearing Devil pro blush on my cheeks, Earthshine as a contour and Flurry of Fun l/g on my lips. I also have to say that I love Devil blush!

Obviously, I'll try to salvage what I can...but since I'm probably going to want another Earthly, I might as well throw Light Year in the cart, as well....RIGHT?!?!

I lost my first Venus

Good thing I backed it up! But now I want a bu of my bu lol

I completely understand i did the same thing with my Venus. I tore my house apart looking for it. I ordered another one when I lost it even though I had a back up. I figured if i ever found the one i lost the third venus would be used as a gift. I still havent found it.

LOVE the greens! And the blush - it looks so dark in the pan I never would have predicted this is what it would look like.

I work in a conservative office and can't get away with bright eyes like this, but I love the look.

Oh noooooo...Hope you can salvage what's left, broken or not. I'd use it anyway.

I salvaged the two larger pieces and put them back in the pot. I just have to be more careful when I use it.

I did my first look using Heavenly Creature items yesterday. I used Neo Nebula MES on the lid. Magnetic Attraction MES in the crease. The gold from Star Wonder MSF as a brow bone highlight and in the inner tear duct. I also used Midnight Snack fluideline for the first time and I'm going to find a BU. For my cheeks, I used Mandarin Red La Femme blush with Star Wonder MSF as a highlight. I used Venus on my lips outlined with Magenta l/p. It was so pretty. I felt sparkly. I was in a rush, so I didn't even use my NARS Smudge Proof primer or a NYX Jumbo Pencil as a base. I put the MES on my bare lid and the colors were still very visible. I wasn't able to take a picture. I think I'm going to recreate the look this weekend. If I get over my nerves, I may post a pic.

Pinkdollface, that's a beautiful green look. I'm finding that I'm often drawn to green eye shadow as well, which surprises me since green in general is a color I typically don't choose. Lol, except in the case of money. That's a green I need more of. I kept thinking yesterday how I wish I had a green MES when I was doing my makeup. Then I remembered Water which I originally skipped. Maybe I need to revisit that shade again.

OhSoJaded, that's away to turn lemons into lemon aid. I'm also thinking about going back for Light Year. This collection needs to sell out already.

yeah the same thing happened to me with my magnetic attraction. Seems like you have to becareful with the whole collection.

 

[Spikesmom]

Yes, if it's in plastic packaging it you can b2m it.

are lipstick and eyeshadow containers the only things you can b2m? what about lip prep and prime? I just used up a tube of it.

I've tried wearing Earthshine twice. It's an ugly muddy mess on me. I'm trying to see the appeal for the pale girls but I think this will go on a blog sale soon.

I didn't think I wanted any e/s but I ended up getting Earthly & Aurora last night. I love them!!! I'm so glad I went to look at the e/s.

 

[PixieDancer]

@OhSoJaded... Sorry about your Earthly!! But, yes, I agree it's a sign you NEED Light Year! You won;t be disappointed! It was the only MSF I was going to skip... Then after I tried it, it became the ONLY MSF I BU'd as well!! It's THAT good! ENJOY!

@pinkdollface.... Love love love that green look! Those PRO shadows are awesome to work with! I have used Bottle Green a TON!! And Devil looks DIVINE on you! You demonstrated PERFECTLY how an Uber Pigmented blush can be made very wearable!! Bravo!!

I used Earthshine as a contour today and a little bit goes a long way! I'll post a pic later when I'm at my computer! I bought a ELF bronzer brush from Target for $1 and used that for application right under the cheekbone, then buffed it out.

I am trying to decide if I should get Light Year. I'm NC50 and I don't want it to look ashy on my skin.

I don't know if I'm NC/NW50 or not, but I do have a deeper complexion. I didn't get ash when I swatched it. Instead, I got a very pretty gold sheen. The pink color didn't show up at all. I passed on it because I plan to get other highlighters like NARS Albatross, but I think I am going to end up getting anyway.

Here are my pics of my tiny HC haul. Been busy moving this month. Still really want Supernova. Hopefully I can pick up a few more items when I get paid Tuesday if they are not sold out. On to the pics!

I wore MA, Water, Aurora, and Earthly today along with a soft gold shimmery color from my Bare Minerals quad. I got the idea from Temptalia's eye look on the HC ES swatch page. I needed inspiration this AM! I added to her look by using the soft gold in the inner corner and I used the darkest brown in my Earthly as a liner. I will definitely repeat this look again! What I have realized about the HC ES's that I love is the fact that I can wear colors that I normally wouldn't wear because they can be worn so sheer. I will do bolder eye looks in the fall, but for summer and most work days the HC ES is perfect! They are a nice balance for looking made up with some color, without looking too made up... Tomorrow I might try Temptalia's look with some of the Hey Sailor eyeshadows...I haven't even worn the blue or green ones yet, and I am starting to feel guilty about it! :shock:
