MAC for Marilyn

[mtrimier]

Your preciousness ......

lol, with a little of this:

 

[ForeverJenn]

Just got home and found this at my doorstep! I AM SO EXCITED, I HAD TO SHARE! ... The packaging is not as a tacky as i thought it would be, (thank god). I am considering visiting my local mac store when this collection launches so i can pick up a blush... i mean c'mon it's Marilyn Monroe

Do you guys mean Fusion Pink? I'm not sure if "Pink Fusion" could be a different lipstick. I have Fusion Pink and it's nothing near Love Goddess. It's pink and brighter, more like Moxie for reference. Love Goddess is red with hints of pink. The previous swatches posted of Love Goddess and Moxie should give you an idea of the difference.

Yeah sorry I meant fusion pink - my newborn baby has me sleep deprived so I am not making alot of sense at the moment! It's great to get your feedback on the comparisons....know I am curious to see comparisons of all three!

My MM FOTD!!

LG with Beet Liner (PERFECT match... a must-have if you have LG!)
TPC w/ FM BP lightly layered on top (TPC is nice, I don't have any of the dupes, so I'm glad I got it. The BP is NOT a must-have in my opinion on NC30/35. It wore VERY light and very close to ashy. I'll give it another try, but it wasn't a "wow" highlighter shade like Light Year is for me. I had to layer LY on top of FM to get rid of the ashiness. And I didn't overapply FM either.)
PB e/s on my lids, Moleskin to warm the crease, Showgirl e/s layered over Moleskin in crease and outer v. (The shadows are nice and the packaging makes them worth it for me, but they are absolutely dupable shades.)
Blacktrack Fluidline
Fascinating e/k on lower lashline and inner corner

How beautiful you look! Interesting how much pinker LG looks in the first pic than the others.

Pixie you look ravishing my dear! I didn't get Showgirl eyeshadow, but I got How to Marry and Preferred Blonde because I love my highlighter shades and I figured these would be great and wouldn't hit pan as quickly as my Creamy Bisque shadow!

We must be on the same sleep-deprived mental wavelength because I understood what you meant and didn't question it lol. I've woken up between 330-4am for work every day for the past 5 days, sooo sleepyyy.

LOL, I had the hardest time formatting my post when I copied and pasted my Nordies live chat!

Pixie, you look beautiful! And I agree about FM. I was actually really disappointed. When I swatched it in store, I was so sad to see how ashy it was on my hard. I tried buffing it in, but it wasn't worth the trouble. Too bad, the compact is beautiful.

Pretty Kitty, belated happy birthday !

I was going to use my Nordstrom Notes on my pre-sale, but I forgot my gift card at home!!! (I transfer all my notes to a GC so that I don't have a million of them in my wallet. Plus it's more convenient for online orders b/c I can use a larger amount of them at one time).

Ah. Back to the long drive to Vegas. Almost there!

Ahhh, my Chanel lovin sisters

Everyone NEEDS to own at least one Chanel lipstick in their lifetime.

lol, with a little of this:

LOL!

WE were addicted to watching that show. You're a funny girl.

I agree, Pixie looks amazing!

When I first put Forever Marilyn all over my face.. I was like blah. I then put my blush on and sprayed my face with fix+ because it did emphasize dry spots. I love it! the fix+ almost activated the sheen effect.

Just received my goodies! I had to put on LG. Amazing color!

I also dusted the BP all over my face. Amazing highlight for me. For reference I am usually matched at NW20 (it is the closest), but in reality I have pretty neutral skin. The BP gives me an all over glow, similar to what I have read others get with Elude. It is the perfect match for my skintone. I can imagine, however, that it could appear ashy on darker skintones.

Tomorrow I plan to play around with the e/s and blush.

BTW I normally toss my MAC boxes, even the special packaging. I don't want to toss these though. DH is going to think that I really lost it when he realizes this and finds my MAC box stash. LOL

The packaging looks so much better in person! I'm keeping my boxes too! I'm not sure where i will put them or how i will store them. Or even if it's realistic. lol Which E/S did you pickup?

Amazing FOTD Pixie! Your photos capture exactly what LG looks like IRL.

All of them - SMH. I was barely awake when I placed my order, so a lot of products ended up in my cart which I hadn't planned on. Thankfully DH is with the boys at soccer practice right now, so he didn't how big my black box was. LOL

I just hope that they are better than some of the online reviews that I have read. They are my type of colors though.

 

[Naughtyp]

my package won't arrive until next Thursday I should have upgraded dammit! going Thursday to Norrdies to peep the rest...

I am SO happy to read this! Liba never steers us wrong. I got to snag the last BP today so I am very excited. I'm sure that everything looks lovely on you!

I keep my LE boxes in an old plastic MAC bag...in my sock drawer...in it's own personal corner.

I shall refer to Honey Badger to justify this behavior.

All I'm sayin' 'bout that.
