MAC Holiday 2012 Glamour Daze / Fabulousness / Guilty Passions Collection Discussion

[emzy]

I hope the fellow East-coasters are doing okay

Happy birthday GlamQueen

My haul: Feminine edge, Superb, WoG, Raven, Mystery and DE. I had pre-ordered everything at Macys but somehow when I picked up my stuff they gave me Superb, OF and FE

(that was my actual facial expression). The lady was nice enough to order the rest of the stuff for me. Had to get DE on the MAC website...I was able to control myself and only bought 1 more thing lol (nightmoth liner, which was sold out by my school)

I got a beige stripe satin bag that is nice but I didn't know they had pink and green ones.

The pink and green bags came from my local free-standing MAC store. They arrived in the box with my pre-ordered goodies.

Well, I've just come back from MAC with Innocence, the Cocktail Coral l/g set, a back up of A Natural Flirt (because it is pure duochromey goodness!) and the Lavish Rose l/g set as a present for my Mum. She is very excited

So my haul so far is:
Pink brush set
Lavish Rose x2 (one for me!)
Cocktail Coral
Innocence
Stolen Moment
ANF x2

 

[Medgal07]

Can you post pictures of it?

A few more, this time w/contents of the Sinfully Chic Face Kit

 

[Medgal07]

Ain't that the truth!
Same here!
Now its bad that majority of Pro stuff is avail online @ MAC site.
Good-bye paycheck!

........But interestingly, I ordered PRO items and still have not yet gotten them...I get back ordered notices almost weekly.

I'm not surprised. It's really the lippie that stands out, both in terms of color and quality.

Did you get it too?

wasn't beauty the first one to sell out on the US site too? I love it, even bought a back up!

For my CartoonChic...I've never posted pictures because I suck at it, but I did this just for you! As you requested, I've tried to capture some of the gift bags and packaging that I got with my recent purchases. There are striped cloth bags and plastic bags with peach/green tissue paper and peach/green ribbon with MAC displayed. The items that I got from Nordie's were presented the best, as my 'Angel of MAC' there took the time to make it really special.

Soooo pretty! Are the cloth bags reusable? I love how the brush kit and travel bag look together. I'd want to keep staring at everything too. It's just too cute.

 

[Medgal07]

hhehe... I'm embarassed haha. U still remembered I am addicted to blushers? eh..

I have like erm... 220 cheek products from MAC :X :X (Blushers, MSFs beauty powders... I don't buy back ups by the way XD ) and 90 over blushers from other brands. So total about 300plus blushers/cheek products now XD

Plus I just bought the 2 face kits from the Holiday collection today..so 2 more new blushers ( part of the reason y I bought the face kits was becoz of the blushers in them hehe)

So here's my haul for today. I m sooo broke after buying from glamourdaze and the kits from this holiday collection...argh. n I still need to buy 2 more crush pigment sets.



So I bought the travel bag (It's gorgeous!) The two divine desire full face kits in Quite Coral and Paramour Pink and the warm eyes eye kit.

I lOVE The travel bag a lot...

OMG. Awesome collection!! I love the travel bag too, and was surprised that it, along with the mineralize brush kit were the standout items for me out of everything that I purchased! Enjoy it to the fullest!!!

Sublime Shine from the CC l/g set over Innocence l/s is so pretty!!

 

[Jenrbelt]

^Lovely swatches!! I am so happy today! Today is my birthday!!!

I hope you have a "Glamorous" birthday!:bouquet:

 

[Medgal07]

I got one of the brush kits as a prezzie from my friend, but I don't really buy travel kits coz I still prefer the quality of the full size brushes from MAC. With this travel bag... I can fit my full size brushes nicely into it and can do away with the itty bitty travel size brushes when I go travelling. I never can get used to using a small itty bitty blusher brush or powder brush to brush my face...jus feels... funny. Juz me I supposed. Too used to full size brushes

Hi geeko...the SH brushes in MAC's permanent line are pretty awesome, and totally rival the brushes in the kits. I only have two of them, the 129SH and the 167SH but both are amazing and more in keeping with the full sized brushes. I'm always afraid I'll lose a full size brush when traveling and become a total maniac keeping up with them.

 

[CartoonChic]

So busted!!! LOL!!!

Lol! I know, I know. *hangs head in shame*

 

[Mac-Guy]

wasn't beauty the first one to sell out on the US site too? I love it, even bought a back up!

I don't remember as I bought mine in store, but it's certainly possible that it sold out first online.

 

[Medgal07]

That's lame! I wonder if the same thing will happen to me. That's exactly why I ordered through the website instead of just buying the brush set in the store. I wanted the gift wrap. I'm scheduled to get my package Tuesday, so we'll see.

I hope you get the gift wrap. Interestingly, neither of my orders were on line. Both were actually pre-orders via people with whom I order on a regular basis.

Happy Birthday ForeverJenn, GlamQueen, elegant, and all other November babies!

Here's more positive vibes baghdad81.

 

[Medgal07]

I am loving whatever shade Christina is wearing. Why aren't there more purple lipsticks in this world???I wonder if there is a list of amazing purple lippies anywhere...

That would be awesome. I'll bet if one exists it's with someone here on Specktra!!!

 

[Michelemu21]

^Lovely swatches!! I am so happy today! Today is my birthday!!!

Happy birthday!

 

[Medgal07]

it's hella cute I really wanted some! lord knows I spent enough on this collection!!

I had my goods for two days before opening them because of the packaging. I just kept looking at it! How weird am I??????

 

[Medgal07]

Awwwww, the wrapping looks quite nice.

Mac-Guy the pictures don't really do it justice...I was blown away by it.

Peachsuns: Thank you.. I'm so touched that u remembered me. I haven't been posting much in the forum in quite a while. Just started back posting recently. And yes with the amount of blushers I have, I don't even have time to finish a single one. The few times I bought back ups, I ended up giving them away. So no point for me to buy back ups.

Medalgal: Thanks soo much. I hope u njoy the haul too. The travel bag was a big surprise for me too as I didn't think I would like the travel bag @ first.

2 More swatches from me for the glamourdaze main color collection for the lipsticks in Outrageously Fun ( loving this color...and no it's NOT close to Up the Amp @ all I SWEAR, Up the Amp is a darker shade and not as pink as OF) and Innocent. Sorry for dry, and a bit flaky lips. Am on medication so, regardless of how much lipbalm i put it gets dry n flaky after a while... hehz

Didnt buy Beauty, coz I tried it.. it turned ashy and deathly pale on me. Not a flattering color for me even when I wear smoke eyes. but it looked gorgeous on the model in the promo pic though. I might end up gettin the sinfully face kit in the end...and seriously Glamourdaze has already done a hell lot of damage in my wallet considering that I m paying higher prices than the US (i live outside of US). It's really costing me a BOMB. But No regrets. I will eat air and grass for the rest of the month. Luckily no upcoming collections that I m interested in. So after Glamourdaze, I will be taking a break from haulin from MAC for a while till the january collection.
