MAC for Marilyn

[elegant-one]

Elegant, I hope your Mom has a speedy recovery!!! Your 3x a day workout is inspiring. I do good to go to the gym 5 days a week, now I feel like a total slacker.

I guess I'm just used to it now.
Thanks doll, that is very very sweet of you. I cannot wait to see her today.

My fear was being on the road with other people. .

Thats still my fear the way people drive!

Before long, Shontay will be so good at it that she'll be driving with her middle finger up

Fire Down Below from NARS is described as a blood red, as in: the colour of blood. Nars says that it took them two years to get this shade right. (Marketing strategy?)

I have it and it's pretty, but it pulls a bit brown on me. Scarlett Empress (also NARS) pulls a bit more wine-ish. I find it difficult too to find the exact right dark shade: it needs enough red / purple in it. On me, I usually do not like those shades that pull brown on me.

I recommend both of these! They look amazing on all skin tones! I like Scarlet Empress a bit better, if you truly want darker, but they are both such gorgeous colors!

Elegent-one, you look AMAZING! One can only wish I look like that at age 53

Especially on MAC release day. She will be doing that with Move B#$%H, get out the way blasting.

I'm SO happy for you that the BP worked for you. Legendary is so pretty over it.
Thanks for ypur very kind words, I really appreciate it

You love Furla too!? My favorite handbags. They have the perfect kind of style that I like. I get mine from Bagshop.com

Love them too! I actually go on a little (coughcough) shopping spree with my Mom each year when we go to northern Italy and browse through all the fantastic outlets they have. Nearly all my Furla bags come from there, as well as my beloved Lario shoes.
Good times! We'll actually go there again in late October, so I really have to start saving! I'd love to score one of their Candy Bags.

Thanks. I got an e-mail from Bloomingdales today and they said everything was fine with my order and it should ship on 10/8 or before. All I ordered was the one beauty powder, so I still have my fingers crossed for it. 

Yay! I'm glad... All that got canceled for me was TPC blush and a nail lacquer. I ordered the whole collection. My order is coming in today.

That's great! If mine still gets here, it'll probably go out on Monday. If not, I got a BP from the UK that a friend is going to ship to me.

HOF only has 3 of Deeply Adored left lipsticks wise.

I won't get my first BP til Monday, or if I'm lucky tomorrow, but they currently only have 11 left and I just got paid. From people's reactions on here I really think I'm going to grab a couple more while I can. I guess if I don't like it someone will take it off my hands.

 

[CartoonChic]

I'm wondering if it will be kind of quiet in here this morning while people rush off to the counters and stores today.

 

[elkaknits]

I am getting ready to head to macys in hopes of getting some BP.... they open in an hour. Then lunch with the teen. Thursdays the salad bar gets made over into a nacho bar so she asked me to bring her salad for lunch

She hates Thursdays

I am so envious you got the whole enchilada, would it be possible to get pictures? Did you stalk and no sleep for a week?

 

[MissTT]

Whatever happened to Dillards' online release? They kind of fell off with the lippies.

 

[martiangurll]

Deeply Adored is a gorgeous red and I love it, but I am still looking for a really dark, vampy, blood red! Any recommendations (doesn't have to be MAC) ?
The Beauty Powder is fab and gives such a nice allover finish on my NW10-15 skin.


I'm going to BU the Beauty Powder (*maaaybe*) and pick up Pure Zen in regular packaging, then I'm done with this collection (I already had Scarlet Ibis plus Cherry and Redd lip liners). Legendary and CIS look lovely but I'm not really short on coral blushes or red lipsticks so I think I can safely skip.

Broken Down by finish:

Hang Up (cremesheen)
Dubonnet (Amplified)
Charred Red (matte) or Sin (matte)
Mystic (Satin)
Dark Side is a blackened blood red (I think its Amplified as well)

Don't make the mistake of getting MAC Blood Red, as it is totally misnamed! It looks more like Fire Sign and isn't blood-red at all!
HTH

I can finally pick up my Marilyn goodies at the store this saturday

With the earlier release in the States it feels like i've been waiting for it forever lol

I'm really excited, i pre-ordered all the lippies except Pure Zen, the Forever Marilyn bp, and The Perfect Cheek p/b. Gonna check out the e/s and the other blush when i am there. If it were for me i would get one of everything lol, but i really need to make sure i have some money left for Glamour Daze

They claimed that they sold out.

I'm about to head to my local counter from work to get there about 9:30. Hoping the line isn't already crazy! I want a BU of the BP and I want Showgirl e/s.

 

[MissTT]

They must have only had a few of the lippies if they sold out LOL. Hardly anyone here even saw them on the website. Plus they were being adamant they would be releasing the collection today. I did see the BP on their site but you couldn't add it to your cart. That was a dud.

 

[elkaknits]

I am now debating going to mall. I am scared there will be a line and I will get all anxiety attack-y. Plus there is the nice counter and the mean counter and the mean counter is closer which is important for the daughter's lunch thing. She is really working hard for this salad... has sent me 3 texts already. One about almost passing out during Cardio and the other about a test and then the obligatory I love you so much mommy text. The girl doesn't even answer my phone calls most of the time.

LOL I have to work this morning but I was VERY TEMPTED to add "buy makeup at Nordstrom" to my BF's list of errands to run today

Hmm. On second thought, maybe I should come up with a list, I think he might actually do it if I asked nicely haha.

 

[valkolak]

Well I'm kinda peeved. I placed my bloomies order around 6:30 am on the first and it still hasn't shipped. I haven't been sent an email with any info either. Gah I hate calling them but I guess I have to.
