MAC for Marilyn

[PeachTwist]

I have really oily skin and I notice the BPs do make the oilies keep at bay. I am really happy with my purchase.

I actually also noticied this!

 

[liba]

It is just like Love Lace but that was long discontinued. I now have a bu to Love Lace which I am thrilled with.

Hey, thanks for pointing this out - I knew it looked familiar. I haven't used mine in so long, it's gotten kind of tucked away. 'Will have to bust it out again now.

One grey shadow I love with these reds is Bough Grey, from Liberty of London - it's very very soft and pretty.

Okay. Majorly skippers remorse here. I went back to the store and played with the BP and now I really wish I'd gotten it. Holy moly. eBay they are like 40+++++ I talked to my MAC gal and she said hopefully it will come back out again repackaged. I hope so.

How would you girls say Deeply Adored compares to Diva and Dubonet? I'm wondering if DA will pull too "brown" on my skintone

Hi girls I know that this is not supposed to be post here, but since every one is crazy about this collection I just want it let you know gils, that I have a backup of Love Goddess I would love swap it for Charmed I'm sure please PM me

Still looking for a forever marilyn BP... PLEEEASSEEE!! I will send the funds to your account immediately!!! Desperate...

Well, I picked up Charmed I'm Sure today. It's absolutely gorgeous...a creamy, long wearing matte.

It isn't, however, the right red for me. It's definitely too pinky. I knew as soon as I swatched it on my arm but I applied it once to be certain. I'm sure.

If any of my Canadian breathren (or US neighbours who don't mind the Cdn price) would like it, please let me know; it really is beautiful and should go to someone it will look glorious on. No way I'll return this; I'd rather find it the right home.

I also got to try the BP and DA - I LOVE both! I'm glad I backed up FM - it's my first b/u and I'm almost sorry I didn't get more than one extra.

Charmed im sure is my favorite lippe out of all of them even though it seems ppl are favoring love goddess and deeply adored

I had two chances to get the bp and I skipped also. I was going to do a cp but I ended up taking the ebay route and it cost me 49 bucks

well after all was said and done and i got someone to CP me 2 from the UK it ended up costing me $85 for 2, incl shipping..so not far off from $49 for one. if that makes you feel better lol

If this could possibly help someone;
I just called a MAC store about the MM Collection and this is what they have left:
Blush, Legendary (just 1)
Eye Shadow (How To Marry)
All of the MM nail lacquers except Vintage Vamp

They do take phone orders. Be sure to specify that you want MM products & packaging.
Phone # (610) 337-2174
You can ask for Jasmine

So Nordstrom's completely let me down with my order...I'm not getting my Deeply Adored and Love Goddess. I'm heated right now

 

[ForeverJenn]

so how is everyone using the F.M beauty powder? I read great reviews on it and to me it's nice but just kind of bleh. Maybe I'm not applying it correctly? what brush do you use?

You are not alone, same here. It looks so gorgeous/glowing as we see in some pictures here.
Normally i use 187 to apply powder
am trying it with some primer now, it is a bit pale on me though.....this seems like a paler version of miss behave (the peach shade mixed with the green/mint shade) I have from quite cute collection. This covers my dark circle....and some imperfection though.

Me too!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it on. I need to get another one

I just got Beet ll tonight & its so beautiful on.

 

[pinkcrush]

I just bought Rimmel Kate Moss 09 n I'm sorry 2 say it blows Love Goddess clear out the water... Love Goddess seemed dull on my NC50 skin but 09 is exactly wut reddened pink dreams r made of!!! @ $4.99 its an even better value the the infamous L G dupe Revlon Cherries in the Snow, which is 9.99 locally n has been sold out lately... Rimmel also has a dupe 4 Yung Rapunxel n at 4.99 it might b a better value 4u vs Revlon Va-va-violet if u missed out... Jus' sayin

If it's a little light on you, you need to apply it sort of halfway between highlighter and face powder. Put it all over the upper planes of your face, on the forehead, bridge of the nose, with a little on the chin, and then blend in carefully, with or without your usual powder shade in the places you didn't put FM. If that still doesn't work, use as a highlighter with other matte face products.

If all else fails, there are many drooling Specktrettes who'd love a BU (including me

)

 

[Supercoolstephy]

Yeah!!! I called one of my local Belks and they had 2 BP left. I had the store hold one for me. Gonna have my MIL pick me up for me tomorrow. Sooo excited to get it.

Exactly, I got it hoping it would give me a subtle glow but it's not really showing up on my skin. Let me know how the primer works for you? I am also going to try some of the advice that Liba posted! I hope we both can get it to work

On my NC50 skin tone, I can only use FM as a highlighter, but even then it's way too light. I may try it again and see how it wears throughout the day. I love the packaging, so it'd be hard to part with it.
