Thank you

I just went through my MSF's and noticed that the Semi Precious ones were 6.5g, then HC's were 7g and now these are also 7g's. I guess whenever there is a special design we get ripped off.

[COLOR=0000FF]     So, so pretty!  It amazes me that your preferred counter only got one MM but I guess if it fails to sell, it's one too many from a business perspective.[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]     The product distribution system makes sense again, from a business perspective, but not to those of us who purchase the products I suppose. :haha:  I'm sure MAC employs some product[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]     usage algorithm to determine [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]where, what and how much product to distribute.[/COLOR]      :con: [COLOR=0000FF] on landing a FT Job.  Please happen by whenever you want some healthy enabling.[/COLOR]     [COLOR=0000FF] So glad you decided to join in the fun!![/COLOR]  :specktrawelcome:

I am sure I will be around

I'm ok with half a gram less when it comes to the Semi Precious MSFs - Crystal Pink and Goldstone are my top favorite MSFs of my whole makeup history, although Adored and Rio are probably going to go in up there in the MSF Hall of Fame with them! MAC, stop making MSFS even better and better and better already!

Today I wore Time To Tango with Orpheus to line and define. I was really impressed with the wear time. I got a good 7 hours before it started to fade and shed fall out without using a base, which is great for the glittery MES for me. Plus I applied it dry and didn't finish it with Fix+

! It still honestly looks pretty good even now. Used the small sized split fiber eye brush from Semi-Precious.

I finally broke out Adored for the cheeks - I got one with plenty of the coral, unlike the original test I'd used, plus I applied it with the 131, since it was right at hand, so it definitely gave more of a blush effect on me than before, but still only when the light hits just right. It's just fabulous.

I used Tangerine Dream on the lips, which at first I thought might not have been the best lippie choice for the look, but when it started to get dark, it looked perfect - I have to keep reminding myself the Tangerine Dream looks best on me at night!

I have a new, real-life makeup buddy and she's coming over tomorrow to play with my stash before we go do some July 4th BBQ + fireworks festivities. She's going to flip her lid for Adored and she's usually a matte face makeup gal. Time to leave the 90's behind all the way, girl!

We aren't considered real-life here?

lol Jk. That's funny you said that. I only have 1 friend who loves mac makeup as much as I do. She lives 2 hours away so we hardly get to play and shop together.

hey, if there was such a thing as a giant Specktra convention where we all got to meet in person, it would be the best darn time!

My only friend who is a MAC fanatic is about to go overseas for three months, who is going to be there at the counter convincing me I don't need another red lippy!

I received my Nordies order early today with simmer, rio and lust. I just barely had time to swatch. ..simmer doesn't look appealing in the pan to me but swatched a beautiful berryish rose color. Can't wait to check them all out.

 

[IHughes]

I couldn't help it and I caved in and ordered Adored. I've never had a MSF and I thought that was the safest bet for my pale skin. I still think Lust looks really beautiful too though.
Someone asked already and I don't think I've read an answer: how do we use the MSF? I really have no idea and I'm really looking forward to it!
Thanks!!

Again, no rip off. They're the exact same amount of product.

I just got up early to go get my goodies! Wish me luck (and that I don't spend too much!!)

Good luck &let us know how it went! Hope you find your perfect Rio!

 

[KrystalAnne]

Alright, whatever. I caved (for the millionth time) and got Midnight Mambo &Exotic Ember in the store tonight. Midnight Mambo feels so good. I love the formulation of this lipstick. I pretty much said I'd stay away from these lipsticks but I'm glad I tried it out. It's very comfortable on the lips.

 

[MACina]

Fingers crossed and happy hauling

What are the must haves from this collection for NW 45? 

I would say Lust or Rio, Simmer, and Exotic Ember. If you are looking for a lipglass, Natcissus and Fever Isle look great on our skin tone. HTH.

 

[NATlar]

Sweet Samba and Simmer didn't go well with my NC15 complexion looked way too pigmented and sheering them both out didn't even work either so I passed, which I'm glad. I only Picked up -

Rio, Adored, 159 Brush, Midnight Mambo and Lady At Play. Midnight Mambo is going to look gorgeous with Heroine Lip liner.

Finally found a twin! ( out of 10 times I do the same. I keep special packaging boxes, but only one of each item or so, so one l/s box etc. All the other items go straight in the garbage. Inserts and black boxes / multiple sp boxes.

 

[MACina]

Rio and Adored look awesome on you

I am surprised that Rio looks so pink...but you were lucky and got one with a lot of pink
