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

[ainelson86]

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.

Glamourdaze is the perfect nude on me! I like it better than I liked Innocence for sure! I returned Innocence as quickly as I could!

I'm only having that problem with WOG.. it's really annoying #buyer's remorse

Ugh if i dont get it to work imma just sell both superb and wog

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.

Hopefully yours is ok. If not and u make it work please let me know

I am not having any issues w/ the EDSF, but I have both of them from the previous release. I wonder if something is wrong with this batch?

Is anyones extra dimension skinfinsh not right? Both of mine are just depositting chunks of glitter. Barely any color or "high shine" ibe tried my 116 brush and 130 brush. Idk if im doing something wrong or got bad products

I use the 130 for my WoG and I found that I have to use a bit of pressure when I swirl my brush in it to get the amount of product I want. But when I put it on my cheekbones, it definitely gives the sheen I'm going for. I've only worn it dry so far, so not sure how the application would change if I applied it wet.

I was only interested because I couldn't have it. Teehee. Is it kind of close to The Perfect Cheek or Small Vanity? I know those aren't dupes, but those are two lighter blushes that I've purchased recently and I haven't even cracked open TPC. I don't know if I want to get something along the same lines right now. Thanks so much for the offer, aradhana. I used Medgals trick to add the blush to my cart. I'll sleep on it and try to make a decision tomorrow. If I need it and can't checkout I'll let you know.

i think it's a little more rosy...like Pink Tea from tres cheek... but i'll try comparing to small vanity tomorrow in the light.
let me know if medgal's trick doesn't work out. the reverse doesn't normally work for me if the item is available on the us site but not the canadian site. but i think the market is stronger for mac in the us, so they also seem to have more stock reserved for the american site, and they do more restocks as well!!

i just received the majority of my glamour daze haul thanks to the lovely yazmin who did a cp for me!
i'll be wearing stolen moment, round midnight, small vanity and glamourdaze tomorrow for sure!

That's pretty bazaar. I also have both EDSFs from the original release and have had no problems whatsoever.

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.

I hope you like everything. Enjoy!!

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

Thanks! She's obviously a fantastic SA, but I'm sure she wouldn't be doing all of this for you if you weren't a fantastic person.

Maybe they got contaminated with oil. You know, like when powder blush or eye shadow becomes hard and gives little color payoff. The solution for powder products (which I learned from this forum) is to scrape off the top layer. I have no clue what to do for an Extra Dimension product since it's not really a powder.

STUNNING Medgal

It is so kind of her that you also received so many samples of the other sets!!!

My Guilty Passions Brilliantly Cool Crushed Metal Pigments arrived today. It was a pre-order via my Nordstrom 'Angel of MAC' and like my prior order, it was nicely packaged. The round box of pigments was in a large peach & black satin gift bag, which I didn't know existed. Also in the box were two small gift bags, each with four sample sized containers of the other sets that I did not purchase. I was so floored. That was just so incredible of her. I love the colors and can't wait to delve into them.

 

[BuickMackane]

Medgal07 - It's so sweet that your MAC Angel gave you all those pigment samples!!!
I'm doing pretty well, but if they still have the l/g sets during Nordie's holiday party, I might have to cave....I can't say no to 10 points per dollar spent! Plus, it's in December, so I wouldn't be breaking my November no-buy hehe.
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)

Yay!

I tried Small Vanity today, but for some reason didn't like it much on me. Maybe I applied it too heavy, I don't know. I used the 116.

I am sorry to hear that.
Maybe you can try to combine it with Superb or WOG?
Sorry,I can`t remember right now which EDSF you have.

I haven't tried either product yet (they are in the queue lol), but perhaps its simply a case of the colours not going well together? Or like you said in your previous post, you might have applied a tad too much. It's hardly the lightest colour in the world and, if swatches are anything to go by, it is well pigmented.

I'll probably err on the side of caution and use my Yachiyo (I feel like a walking Yachiyo ad now) the first time I apply it.

 

[BuickMackane]

... and in other news I'm wearing Outrageously Fun today and I'm utterly totally completely in love with it!

It looks nothing like Up The Amp on me. It's far brighter but the Cremesheen finish makes it perfect for everyday wear . I used to be an Amplified-and-Matte-only girl but I think I'm being converted

They werent contaminated because when i first opened it i used a clean brush and that was the result. I havent even tried touching it with my fingers since i was scared to make it oily

I'll definitely try it with other brushes as well.
