MAC Alluring Aquatic Collection (May 22, 2014)

She definitely gets it, a shame she doesn't post here anymore.

Watching this video, I was thinking "she sounds like she comes to Specktra for info." Because she said something like she had a list long before the collection launched. Sounds familiar.

Yep, she knows what's up for sure!

Just was leaving the house and to my surprise my Silver sun Water deities Lorelei x2 Black line Were out in my mail box woo!! Now if all my other stuff would show up early as well

Another haul and swatch video from a WOC. She gets it. Delphic is not going to give color but a nice, natural glow for her skin tone. http://youtu.be/LufoSj0rjHA

also delphic was the exact same color as my skin...it didn't work for me but some other things from the collection did. I'm not mad bc it's hard for every single item from a collection to be universal....that's why they have several different things to choose from so at least one thing will work for every complexion

I dunno about you guys, but I don't always buy bronzers to contour my face. I usually buy bronzers to WARM UP my face, to give my skin a glow, and some life. If I want to contour, I use my Kevin Aucoin Sculpting Powder or my Chanel Notorious, or some other very matte/grey-ish bronzer. I think way too many people expect ALL bronzers to be good contouring products, but that is not the sole purpose. If you are fair skinned, I'm sure these bronzers in this collection can work as your contour product, but I didn't buy them to do that..I wanted the GLOW.

THIS IS EXACTLY MY VIEW ON BRONZERS. I like that "flush of heat" lookin my face. Think Temperature Rising.

Okay, so my Nordies package actually came yesterday but I was so exhausted when I came home that I didn't even open the box. I will try to post swatches in the swatch thread once part two of my haul comes with the Eyeshadows (thanks again Debbs).

Off to play... :yaay:

She's still a WOC. There's still a lot you could learn from her.

very true I'm one of her subscribers.

Off to play...

Yay! Have fun with your new pretties!

 

[Calla88]

Exactly! She's about nc45 give or take plus she gives great recommendations.


Yep, she knows what's up for sure!

She's definitely NC45 , cause I asked her LOL and she knows her stuff plus she knows what works on her , which is what I think is key. I'm lighter than her but I always trust her recommendations because she does her research and she often shows how she uses her products and why she likes them!

Today i filled my lips with In Synch lip pencil and a little Whirl and put PMP on top and my lips looked sooo lush

Ooohhh...I've got both of those pencils, so I'll have to give it a "whirl"...

yes, pun intended...yes, very lame.

LOL

I like your way of thinking What did you get again from this collection? So do you just use the bronzer on your checks , forehead and nose where the sun hits to give you that glow? The reason I'm asking is cause I really don't use bronzer but I like when I see someone that has a nice glow to their skin

I don't get that either. I would't use a bronzer for contouring.

Girl...I bought nearly everything. All the EDES, AS, all of the lipsticks except for GoTS, Clear Water lg, Water Deities, and a few backups..lol

That's exactly how I use bronzers...around my hairline, temples, around my jawline, and just a bit down the center of my face, and cheeks. I go for that bronzey glow...I don't wanna look like I have 2 dark strips of powder down my cheeks. LOL

I have never in my life ordered from Nordstroms, so I hope someone else can help you out!  I can't wait to see Gina on you.  PLEASE post a pic!!

I'm really excited to get it now!!! I will!

I LOVE Gina soo much! Everyone should own it! Seriously its gorgeous!!

I hope I like it!! I'm so excited. I've never owned anything from Nars.

Unfortunately if you forget to go through ebates first, you can't get cash back after a purchase is already made

Thanks for letting me know! Now I know!! I'll have to try hard to remember to use ebates. I rarely buy online so it's easy for me to forget.
