And where's Piarpreet? Hope she's okay!

I didn't know how to quote that honeyonboost thing, but she's in Vegas at the moment.

I know this is OT so I apologise, but does anyone know if those ice cube trays will fit in a MALM dresser with lipsticks in them?

I'd like to buy them as I can't find an acrylic lipstick holder here that will hold enough without costing me a fortune and it'd be perfect and while they are cheap, I can't afford to be wasting money. :/

I love your new avatar. You look so cute!

Hahah thank you!

I found a perfect way to wear "Ready to Party", I use it as a wash over any other color. It is most fabulous over TDH, but I've been using it almost daily over any other color. It adds a lovely depth to any color. I was worried I was going to have to send it back, but will now be keeping it. And for me, the perfect brush to apply "Whisper of Gilt" is the new Sephora fan brush. I am not young and too much sparkle and shine just makes me look - well - stupid. This new Sephora fan brush is thicker than any other fan brush I've seen and it applies just the right amount of the highlight - for me.

for lipsticks.

This is all very nice but it won't cut it for OCD nutters like yours truly who need their lippies (and blushes. and eyeshadows. and shoes. and everything else) to live in their own boxes. However old, tattered and minging said boxes may be. I just moved to a new place and yesterday caught my mum (who was helping me with the move) in the blasphemous act of sneaking a semi-disintegrated shoe box in the bin. Oh the horror! I shall spare you the gory details of the ensuing spectacle but let's just say I still have the box

Maybe I should just get one of these ice cube contraptions anyway and see if I can tolerate boxless lippies*. It really is a great storage solution!

*I still won't throw away my boxes though. One step at a time. lol.

 

[MRV]

Haha! I have my shoes in boxes, too! And keep all the Mac boxes of course! Yesterday I had a had time because I B2Med a lippie and they did not give me the box!

Yesterday I tried on DE. It was not bad, looked a bit translucent on me. But I think I need a liner though. I have bought several darker lippies this fall. It would be nice if just one liner would fix them all but I don't think so.

 

[BuickMackane]

How very dare they! The poor lippie is going to feel so miserable amongst its boxed brethren! Some people have no empathy. Tsk tsk.

Boxes are GOOD. Everything should come in boxes

I saw a couple of these at the Mac store. Hope mine comes intact.

Yes it one of those things where it was left loose in the shipping box because the kit cam in a box took up X space. I didn't realize it was loose until I turn the the pot upside down one more time and it slid out. It are really clean break though but since it was out I decided to repot it into a metal pan. I would want to travel with it now so it's in my daily wear Z palette.

Well, mine don't have to live in their boxes, but those trays are giving me an OCD-gasm, so I guess I am a bit nutters! And if I had the least bit of inclination to be an enterprenuer (Sorry, spelling is NOT one of my OCD things unfortunately) then I would buy them, paint them and totally resell as a lipstick tray for more cash.

 

[BuickMackane]

Its the little differences that mean so much to us...
Sounds like we are justified to own ALL THREE! Yay!
I know, right?

Oh yes! You could open an etsy store for your icecube/lipstick trays!

re: spelling - a girl needs to save her OCD resources for only the most important stuff. Like makeup boxes.

No, no, no...plunge with me gracie90. I just ordered it to celebrate the return of our power post the awful hurricane/storm. I didn't want pink but what the heck...YOLO right?

I ordered them yesterday! Yay for brushes

I wanted a couple of things from this collection but eff paying £15.50 ($25) for a lipstick and £19 ($30) for a blush. Everything still seems to be available on the MAC UK site, I wonder why.

You think that's bad? Here in Australia, we pay $36 AUD / $37 USD for a lipstick!

Guess I'm just cheap. I was willing to pay the extra £1.50 for Marilyn products but not this, I reckon lots of it will end up at CCO stores. You have sickeningly high prices in Oz. If you ever want a CP from the UK hit me up.

That's wack

 

[Mac-Guy]

I like the Warm Pigment set. Anyone else?

Thanks for your input!!! I never had Stiletto, so this may just be the thing that pushes me over the edge to get it! I look forward to hearing your thoughts after doing comparisons. And 31 days of pink lips does sound like a challenge...I'd probably start itching to pop on a different shade too. But good for you for supporting awareness!!!

ChosenOne please accept my apologies for getting back to you so late

I don't know if anyone responded but Stilleto is d/c which is a bummer because it's one of my favorite lippies. I have scoured a couple of CCO's looking for it but haven't found it. If my memory serves correct I think Up the Amp was a close dupe of it. I'm headed to the mall tonite so I'll let you know. the 31 days was a challenge, a YES, I was itching to throw some red, plum, blue, ANYTHING on but I stuck to it. On Nov. 1st I had a bunch of lipsticks pulled out so that I could decide what to wear and guess what, I almost chose a pink but I went with Eden Rouge! Thanks for the feedback and I'll keep you updated on dupe.

 

[Mac-Guy]

mac-guy and medgal07, i also love the 128 brush, i have a back up, if i ever go back to the cco later this year or next, i hope i can find more!

kimi, I saw it recently at Wrentham. It's probably worth checking.

 

[PixieDancer]
