If you have mauvey lips, you need SS.


I agree with Liba.

My new favorite Nude is actualy SS. Oh my gawwwwd. I'm so grateful that T made it look bad. Her tendency to cake on products worked in my favor. I only do two swipes and it turns my mauvey pigmented lips into a MLBB shade. The texture is awesome too as it is very similar to Roitfeld's TT. It is moisturizing and it has a lot of slip. Some of the lustres can be drier, but this is definitely in the more moisturizing range. TT is more of a nude nude while SS is more a lighter version with some pearlized effect. Mind you, IMO it looks best when you do just two swipes, but this also means you have to reapply it more often. T must have done at least 10 swipes (who does that anyway?!?!) to get a frosty look - and the camera must have picked up this effect and even magnified it. As I am running low on TT, I'm glad I stocked up on SS.

TT is one of my favorite lippies. I passed on SS because I though it would be too frosty/pearly.

Time to reveal the e/s of the year (at least in my books): LORELEI
dothewave.gif


If you are a pale NW and have blue eyes, you need Lorelei! I've been using it for almost two weeks straight as it makes blue eyes pop like crazy. It is golden with the same, but more subtle, undertone than Faux Gold MES. It works as a wash of color, but can also be built to an opaque shade. I love it as a was of color with an add "cross" in the center of the lid and the center of the crease. It opens your eyes in a very refreshing way without adding too much color. I find this the perfect nude e/s for pale blue-eyed beauties. I actually ordered a BU and typically I do not BU e/s.

On a related note: If you can, get all of the e/s them. They are buttery, pigmented AND BLENDABLE. For me it is crucial that they blend well. I know a lot of people are complaining about the size, but personally I don't care much about that. If the quality is there, it is worth my money. If you like darker e/s, def check out Fathom Deep. The purpley undertone will make brown eyes pop!

Can you believe that I've already finished six tubes of Tropical Mist? SS is only frosty if you cake it on, but with just a few swipes, it's the perfect nude.

You can still catch SS in store. Good luck hunting it down. You deserve it, babe!

Speaking of running, I am going to take advantage of having a day off and my son taking a nap, so I will go for a run!
Time to get some things done around the house (not to mention I have a paper and powerpoint presentation I need to get done as well)

I'm so excited for the free ON shipping that MAC has been having lately. Can't wait to get my black box after work tomorrow! :)


Hope everyone has a great day, and to those who missed out. Don't stress. No matter how nice these items look, it's not worth stressing over (especially since you will have more opportunities to purchase --including a likely restock(s) down the road).

PERFECT! I'm a NW blonde/blue-eyed girl and I loved this shadow from the first swatch I saw. SO glad I bought the EDES..they were the true winners in the collection IMO!

Thank you Mac-Guy!

I believe it! If I had backups I would wear it every single day.

I'm going to try SS in stores.. luckily the girls there are super sweet and will put stuff away for me.
