MAC By Request discussion

[cocofiere]

Thanks my fellow Specktrettes for the kind words and support.

I knew you guys would understand my pain and utter frustration. The boy doesn't quite get how serious "Limited Edition, OMG I missed out the first time" items are and neither did the women I spoke to from UPS (Do they not know the wonders of makeup? I kid, I kid...kinda). My guess is the driver's girlfriend got my Rockers, MBs, P+P and HT blush. Maybe this is how all the Evil-bayers and Instagram hoarders got their stash--they know a shady UPS guy/girl?Hmmm....
Hopefully this gets resolved tomorrow and karma wreaks havoc on Mr. UPS. Maybe his XBox or whatever will spontaneously crash or something. You know, hit him where it hurts!

i think mac should change the company who delivers the products im sorry if i offend anyone here but i really dont trust ups at all, i know they stolen products because one of my friends used to work there and he told that there is an enormous amount of items that people who work there just keep which is bs because you are paying them for a service, and the worst part about them is that they are know for misshandling boxes.

I ordered an iPod in 2008, kept checking the tracking info everyday, then movement just stopped one day in the Midwest. Never received that package. I was so angry because OBVIOUSLY someone that worked there stole it, otherwise in would have came to California. Bright side on that one was that Apple was awesome about replacing it, they asked no questions and sent me out a new one.

Heroine wasn't released too long ago, so give it some time and people will probably start selling their BUs!

quick look using MB and Guac


Got my goodies today, will post better swatches/pics later on today. Loving guacamole, color is beautiful. The texture of MB is so smooth. Not sure how I feel about rocker yet, lol not used to the vampy colors, and FoF I haven't formed an opinion on it yet. Well, ladies I'm turning in. See ya later same time, same bat channel. lol

 

[dabeautyenabler]

How's guacamole for those that bought it? Would you say it was worth getting?

I would say yes. It's a pretty color

 

[dabeautyenabler]

Beautiful Iris is on my list! Thank you for the idea! Hope my Boycrazy from CUTiE quad works with Moth Brown as well.

BM Shocking Pink looks beautiful on you! CYY might be slightly lighter than BM, but I don't think anyone will notice the difference. I'll get BM when I finish my CYY. Thank you so much for the swatches, dabeautyenabler!

That's unbelievable. I'm wondering who has your box now. Hope you'll find your box ASAP!

You're welcome. Yeah I'm definitely going to get another BM, when /if I ever run out of either one. lol

 

[lustandlipstick]

Don't do it! Mac is wwwaaaayyy more likely to repromote Heroine than they are CYY! Plus if it comes down to it you can find heroine much cheaper/easier than CYY

Good observation! I didn't even think of it that way. I'm praying that it'll be repromoted in a future collection. And if I feel like I can't wait, I'll search for one at a really good price. Thanks doll!

 

[lustandlipstick]

My nerves are calm now. Lol. Thanks girls!

 

[duckrodeo]

Wow, dabeautyenabler - you really are enabling me to order Guacamole! Lol the golden sheen is really winning me over!

 

[dabeautyenabler]

Lol, yes, definitely get it. And speaking of enabling looked up swatches of ruffian red thanks to a comment I saw you make and now...I'm pretty sure I NEED it in my life and possibly the gold, but definitely the red. lol

 

[dabeautyenabler]

lol I should be asleep

, but I'm online looking up dupes for heroine, lit cosmetics swatches, and occ swatches of belladonna lip tar. Smh. Will be going to the CCO in Charlotte this weekend to see what goodies I can find.

Don't forget too, Heroine will most likely end up in at least a few CCOs, if you give it enough time. Whereas I doubt think CYY or Moxie will.

Gosh, I started really playing with jete tonight. The color payoff is very pretty swatching on your hand. The moment you try to transfer color from your brush to the eye... Nothing. Nothing applies. I tried it with a 224, 239, 226, and the sigma S55 from the bunny collection. I also tried it under a paintpot... still barely showed up on the eye. It literally is a very (VERY) faint color; basically nothing. Not even a 10th of how it looks from swatching it. I tried to apply it from my finger as well (even though its bad for the shadow...) STILL NOTHING. This is so annoying and to be honest not what I expected. Are any of you ladies having this same issue? Those who are not, What are you doing right that im not? I REALLY want to make this work.

Try it over NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk.

Try it over NYX Jumbo Pencil in milk

Did that work for you?
For me, it swatches fine on my hand. It shows up and everything... but the shadow will not transfer from my finger or the brush.

 

[MAChostage]

Thanks for your swatches, I was really wanting to see Jete. I don't think I'm going to get it, and it's the only thing I was interested in. I already have UD Scratch and Jete looks quite uneventful in comparison to it, and other pinks I already have.

 

[elkaknits]

you gals are making FOF look good. Will not buy will not buy will not buy

 

[matildawormwood]

Definitely just trade the BU. I never buy backups. Always something new and fun to get into.

On the other hand, I feel like I'll never go through my first tube of it so do I really need to keep my BU? I'm going nuts thinking about this!

I don't have that problem at all. Mine is very pigmented. I have been using it to blend out my smokey eye above the crease and i use the 217 brush for that.
