MAC In Extra Dimension Collection 2013 (April 2013)

[Richelle83]

i thought it was just me that has not used the EDSFs yet. i have used Double Def. it's ok. but i tested Def. Defined in the store before i bought it and i got a lot of compliments on it highlighting my cheeks. STF haven't even opened the box though.

STF is probably my fav of three. You should really try it!

I Had a bad experience with them as well. They sent me the wrong quad. They insisted it was the one I ordered so they wouldn't send me the right one! I even took a pic of the order form and they still didn't budge! Luckally I ended up liking the quad. Haven't ordered from them online since.

So i ended up ordering the right ones from nordies, so we'll see what happens. I returned 2 of the STF to the counter. I was gonna exchange em for Def Def but they were sold out. I told her what happened and she knew what was wrong before i could even finish my sentence. Obviously i wasn't the only one who has this issue in my city!

You've got me excited to use it. On what areas of the face do you use yours?

Cheeks (but I don't add blush because it is lovely on it's own), a smidge on the forehead and a little bit on the center of the chin, sometimes on the nose. It bronzes up the face quite nicely and looks natural in my opinion.

That sucks so bad that they keep messing up your order! Glad you got to return those, but you shouldn't have to do that.
=(
Crossing fingers that Nordies sends you the right ones!
This whole release seems like it was a bit of a mess.

These are my two FAVORITE ED shadows ever with Young Venus and Zestful following them.

Left is Smoky Mauve Right is Stolen Moment

I've been playing with Zestful for days and have finally decided it's just not for me; no matter what base I put it over, it's just to glittery for my tastes. It is an unusual colour and I really like the way it reflects light, but I would have preferred if the finish was a bit more Opalesse like. I'll pass this one on to a younger set of eyes.

I am quite annoyed with Macys. I ordered Definitely Define almost two weeks ago when they first came up on the site. They sent me Shape the Future instead of DefDef. So I emailed them and they told me they would send out DefDef. My package arrived today and I received Shape the Future AGAIN! I had to send them another email explaining that the product codes are mixed up. How could Macys go for almost 2 weeks with the product codes/descriptions mixed up?

To follow up on this situation, Macys emailed me this AM and told me they were sold out of DefDef and they would credit my account with no mention of sending back the latest screw up.... Should I just keep it?

None of my local Macys has a MAC counter so I can't go see if I can just exchange it. I just ordered DefDef from Nordies so fingers crossed. This whole experience was just crazy, I won't be shopping with them for awhile.

I'd keep it if they don't require you to return it. It's possible that they would have to trash it if you returned it (I know some do this just to be safe) so either way it goes it there may be nothing they can do with it.

If you can keep it without being charged for it, do it!

Ok, how are you all wearing the skin finishes. Dbl Def is more copper on me and the light side, almost blends in. I bought these cuz they're pretty, but not sure how I'm going to wear them.

I wear Shape The Future as a blush since I love how it looks on my cheeks. For Definitely Defined, I can wear it as a highlight and I have yet to experience with Double Definition.

I've been wearing it as highlighter/bronzer. I wore it for a formal last night...applied to forehead, bridge of nose, cheeks (mixed and then applying only the lighter color on the top portion of the cheek), and a little on the middle of the chin. I don't have any good pics of my makeup from last night, but I have a practice run pic when trying to decide how I was going to do it. It doesn't really show up heavily on me...might be the brush I am using, but that actually worked out perfectly for me!

Very different colors. Smoky Mauve is a sheer medium mauve-y plum color. Stolen Moment is a deep taupe-y brown with a hint of plum. Smoky Mauve is a lighter and much plummier color than Stolen Moment.

Do I need Triple Impact EDES if I have Ready To Party? I'm wearing RTP today with Grand Galaxy and I really love it!

Well, do you NEED them? Maybe, maybe not. But they are not the same colors. Ready to Party, despite MAC's description as lilac, is really pink, a cool pink, but pink. Triple Impact is genuinely a cool lavender color with a lovely sheen - it's a much cooler/bluer color than RtP. I know I NEEDED Triple Impact.

Agree with this!!!

Everybody keeps saying they are different, but I swatched them both over Nyx Milk and they were identical in color, there was not the slightest difference at all other than the fact that Triple Impact has a few blue and purple sparkles here and there that Ready To Party doesn't have. However, I still suggest buying Triple Impact simply because the color is so gorgeous and those small pans are just not enough of that color. I have multiple back ups of both.

if you guys had to choose between shape the future skinfinish and fiery impact blush which one would you guys choose? for those of you who have both..just as general cheek products...

I had both, and I'd vote for Fiery Impact. I prefer the colour on me and I found it easier to apply it just as I liked. It's easy enough to add a glow from another highlighter. I found STF too dark - it's gorgeous on WOC but was a hideous burnt red-orange on me.

 

[josephine90]

Another vote for fiery impact! its just so pretty!
