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

I always order that way. The Canadian site appears on my MAC Book Pro but the US site appears on my iPad. When I order from the laptop the US prices appear once I put my zip code in.

So, can you actually order from the Mac Canada site and have it ship free to the States? or does it not allow you once you get to the shipping information form? It is so ironic. I lived in Toronto for 16 years and never touched a MAC store. Now ten years later back in the US, and I am into it and want to shop on the Canadian site for selection.

I am dual citizened.........if you ever want to get pulled over at the Border, just tell them that you are a dual citizen of the US/Canada. Guns, drugs, alcohol.. no problem. Dual citizen? PULL over..........

I use baby shampoo too but I never tried adding baby oil. Will give it a go, thanks!

MUFE's brush cleanser is also nice for lazy days, but definitely not a replacement for washing.

I like the Bare Minerals Quick Change Spray. Sephora also has a brush cleaning spray that is very good. I use that right away each day.

kismet, how long does it take the brush spray to dry on the brushes? Meaning when could you use them again on another product? I need to buy some of this stuff. Where were you ladies during the Sephora VIB sale??? I forgot about these types of items.

I bet a smoky eye will be beautiful with Glamour Daze. I really think it is like a natural lip color (for the fair/light set) just better. I really feel it has that pinky brown idea that Bobbi Brown uses. It is a base that would work with any of the lavish rose glosses easily. I think it is very deceiving because it looks better in the tube, more plummy, than it is actually on.

I think Glamourdaze works as a natural lip color for deeper skin tones as well. At least it does for me, but I think it all depends on the natural color of your lips. My natural lip color has more of a pink tone. For those who didn't like the way Gamourdaze looked on them, I'm wondering if it's because their lips have more of a beige tone.

LOL about the border pull over!

It appears that the site is capable of fielding citizenry based on location..i.e. your zip code because once that's entered the pricing structure converts to US. I don't necessarily think they are separate sites, hence the conversion. That said, when I go onto MAC online w/my iPad, US pricing appears; when I go on via my MAC Book PRO the Canadian pricing is displayed. I don't know why it happens but it has not hindered my ability to be an ordering fool!!

I only got one bag. I can't tell if it's a small one or a large one. I didn't know they had different sizes. I'm guessing it's probably small then.

That's hardly enough given the massive number of items you purchased!!!
I PM'd you.

I liked it better on me when I filled & lined my lips with the burgundy lip pencil.

the lip gloss set and GD lipstick are calling my name... I may be getting paid tomorrow as well.. ))

That's one way of describing how I felt about it when I put it on this morning. Blah! It really didn't go down to well after several obnoxious lip days (CYY - Guerlain Gigolo - Dear Diary - Illamasqua Kontrol - Neon Orange - Shiseido RS320) in succession. By the end of the day I was much more positive. It's not an exciting colour, but it's classy, subdued and wearable. Seeing as classy, subdued and wearable are three features currently missing from my lipstick collection, I'm glad to have it.

I'm going to pair it with a smoky eye next time round.

That's a great idea. I wore it with a gray & burgundy eye, but I like the idea of wearing it with a smokey eye. Thanks for sharing a great idea!

GREAT! When you keep thinking about it and contemplating it...it's just time to go for it!!!
Which lip gloss set are you getting? I'm getting two of the Nicely Nude sets tomorrow...I pre-ordered one for my daughter and one for me.

 

[Medgal07]

eye - Stolen Moment & A Natural Flirt, liner - Local Wares. Lip - Double Shoot + Twirsl and it worked out great

Sounds very pretty!!!

 

[Medgal07]

I just saw your pics, Medgal. I can say for sure I got the small bag. Your SA really is an angel.

She could be you SA if she relocates w/a job promotion. Happy to share her with you!!

I finally got my WOG and Touch Up Kit. They came from a Nordies in Denver. Only took them forever to send it out but it's here. I am so surprised at how light WOG is. I guess I expected it to be heavy like a MSF which has the same weight according to MAC but I guess the EDSF doesn't have the metal plate in it. I'm so glad that my haul is complete now lol.

Are you sure about that???

[OhSoJaded]

Medgal07 - It's so sweet that your MAC Angel gave you all those pigment samples!!!

Awesome! I got confirmation that Easy Manner is ready for pickup. I'll PM you once I pick the blush and brush up (probably Friday or Saturday)

I just got my WOG today so haven't tried it yet myself. I'll report back if there are any issues with it. I need to experiment with brushes myself. I don't have any MAC ones yet tho but am gonna buy a few this friday when I get paid.
