Gracie, maybe a Psychiatrist.....then I could lay on the couch and confess how much makeup I buy (don't forget the 2976356700 backups) & you can figure out why....but then you would have to lay on that couch too

Congrats dear!

Haha, I do Psych for a month in a few weeks! So I will probabaly look suspicious in all the lectures we have about addiction when I display all the symptoms when it comes to MAC

I want to do Obs and Gynae in the end, but we'll see

Wow..big (colorful haul). Enjoy every bit of it!

I'm looking forward to qualifying as a doctor in 18 months because I will be able to buy all the MAC I want! (And because of the helping people thing too )
But I will also be so busy that I'll probably miss out on a ton of LE stuff Sometimes stalking for items is like having a part-time job!

MacAddictNurse, I'm glad you found your items eventually. I would have been so pissed off!

Way to go gracie90...you can start the 12-Step Program that we seem to need

 

[Medgal07]

did you get the ones from glitter and ice?? i love those.

Yes I did, and I love them too! I use the 187 & the 130 EVERY DAY, and wash them every night. They've held up beautifully.

What does everyone think of the quality of the brush sets?

 

[Medgal07]

Very Nice! Enjoy it all

Here's my final Glamour Daze haul. The Smokey palette will be part of my niece's christmas gift but I had to add it cause it's so pretty

 

[Medgal07]

I'm the One blush
I am done with this collection now, except for the lavender gloss set.

OF lipstick is GORGEOUS! I wore it out and about today, and I love it. Also wore Mystery; mine looked exactly like Temptalia's swatches when I first put it on. So strange! I had to go over and over it on my left lower lash line, until finally it worked. It applied easily on my right lower lash line after that. Maybe they just need to be broken in?

Originally, I wanted FE and Little Black Bow FLs, but LBB looked like Midnight Snack + glitter on me, so I skipped and went with CME instead. I am not sure if I will be able to keep FE or not. I need to test it on my lower lash line (which is how I will use it) and see if it irritates my eyes. I had wanted Round Midnight EDES, but it pulled a hideous shade of brown on me, so that was a skip. Small Vanity was tempting me too until I swatched it-- it pulled a weird orange shade on my skin.

Innocence lipstick was so pretty too, but I will wait and see if that ends up in my CCO. Ditto for Easy Manner blush; Orpheus, Raven; and Stolen Moment & Evening Grey EDES. If they don't, not worried about it.

Glad you're feeling better...a good haul is like medicine for the soul

I ordered Mystery too. Based on your experience I'll try swiping it a few times before application to sort of prime it. Enjoy your goodies

What does everyone think of the quality of the brush sets?

I bought the mineralize and advanced sets as a gift. I have almost all of the brushes in single form and there is definitely a difference; I noticed it most with the mineralized brushes. Having said that, I'm happy with the quality of them given the price paid. I could not have purchased anywhere near that number of brushes for that price point and they're at least as good as a lot of the brushes out there.

 

[PrettyKitty]

Orpheus khol power disappear very fast on the waterline and isn't even that noticable, it's not as smooth and pigmented than Feline. It's beautiful smudged on the lids though.

 

[Medgal07]

Oh. Dear. Why did you have to say that, Medgal?! I wasn't paying much attention to the brushes because I decided to try to get them later at a CCO. It didn't occur to me that the Mineralize set matches perfectly with the travel bag. I was supposed to be finished with this collection. But now that brush set is calling me. Nooooo!

Tell me, can you fit full size brushes into the pouch?

Yes, you can fit full sized brushes into the pouch. I tested it w/my 109 & 129 brushes. I LOVE it.... and the Mineralize brushes!

 

[Medgal07]

I got to see, but not test, three of the six Guilty Passions sets. I didn't get to test because my local MAC was just cuh-raaaaa-zy busy today with shoppers and make up appointments. At least i got to peek at two lip gloss boxes - 4 Lavish Rose Lip Gloss & 4 Nicely Nude Lip Gloss - and one crushed metallic pigment box - 4 Tenderly Warm Crushed Metallic Pigments. The sets are all lovely, but...

I went a little nuts with the Vera collection and got ALL THREE metallic pigment sets. I think the Tenderly Warm set is a bit like the Aloha set, but it has a warm pink that reminded me of one of the colors in the Strawberry Patch set. And Moss Garden which is in the Brilliantly Cool set was in the Vera Butterfly Party set. So, what with all the Mineralize e/s i got from Heavenly Creature and all the Extra Dimension e/s i picked up today from Glamour Daze, i'm going to pass on those two sets. But i never seem to have too many purples, so i may cave in and get the Sweetly Smoky set, which has 3 violets or purples (plus a pale cool pink).

In the "4 Lavish Rose Lip Gloss" box what i really want is the Boys Go Crazy lip gloss. I'm not really excited about the two opaque Cremesheen glosses: Going Casual & Colour Saturation. Sigh. Anyone hate Boys Go Crazy and love GC and CS and want to trade?

I was greedy with the Vera collection pigments too and ended up with all three, so I don't deserve anymore. BUT BUT BUT...I am strangely drawn to the green set and I don't know why. I'm not even a big fan of the color green but these pigments are alluring to me. I have a set on pre-order.

 

[Medgal07]

I am trying to fight the urge to back up Stolen Moment EDES since it might become my HG eyeshadow. I imagine pariing it with Satin Taupe and Dark Edge/Showstopper e/s. As for Outrageously Fun and Impossibly Sweet, I plan to back both of them up soon whenever MAC restockes online.

That sounds like it would make a really nice combo!

 

[Medgal07]

I haven't used FE yet, but I had absolutely no problem in application when I swatched it. My main use for this will be as a base, but I may try this as a thin line above Wholesome and/or Dark Diversion.

I think I'll first try it as a base and then experiment from there.

 

[Medgal07]

You've sealed my fate. I've just made myself a liar.

Go for it CartoonChic...hurry. Just go

Welps. Too a break from the forums and now I have to catch up on 400+ posts! Ah well, at least it'll make the drive home more entertaining heh.
