MAC Wash And Dry Collection (May 14 / May 21, 2015)

[GreenEyedAllie]

GR is more reddish/orangey on me. Delicates looks more natural. Well, at least more how I prefer my bronzer. It doesn't look muddy or dirty on me at all. I'm sorry I'm bad at describing. I can post some swatch pictures tomorrow.  

GR barely shows up so I had to use a bit of it. I can't believe that I didn't even swatch Delicates.

At my store, I had the MA do half my face with one and half with the other. We had a really hard time choosing which one looked best. GR won out because it looked a tiny bit more natural and Delicates was a hair muddy. I was surprised GR didn't look too orange/red on me because I'm pretty pale, but I do have a very neutral toned. If it was a little cheaper, I'd grab a bu in a hot second.

Can anyone that has both brushes do a comparison? Which do you prefer? I have the 125, but I'm debating the 126 also because I liked how it worked with GR when the MA applied it on me. It just seems pretty pricey for what it is.

I take about a million selfies and about 3 of the million will be satisfactory enough to share with the world. Lol

Dropbox is my hero

So I BUed the 125. Got 20% off so I figured why not.

Been loving GR and CW, too. Wish Mac would make a tangerine blush even paler than CW - or bring IF back!

Pardon the no makeup. I went to Macy's to check it out. Don't judge me, Nordstrom had 6% back on ebates. And cool samples. I stood in Macy's and ordered this from Nordstrom. Yeah that sounds wrong...

@elegant-one here is how GR and Delicates look on me. I swatched them pretty heavily with my finger for comparison purposes. HTH!

In the photo, they look fairly similar in the pan... but in IRL you can very distinctly tell them apart.

Nars Siberia for reference. (MAC foundations are all a tad too dark, too pink, or oxidize too much for me.)

Like I said, I'm really really loving Delicates on me. Obviously I wouldn't apply these as heavy as my swatches. I like that they're quite sheer. I could probably get away with both but I find myself reaching for Delicates more. It's more in line with my other favorite bronzers like Armani #100, etc.

they seem to be doing better with inventory, that boa boa wan collection was so messy!

 

[Dezrai]

Me too. I swear they never turn out the way I actually look, so I give up.

So frustrating, isn't it?!? I look like this in every selfie:

 

[Dezrai]

Same here..  That's why I never post a picture in the theme thread.  

I take about a million selfies and about 3 of the million will be satisfactory enough to share with the world. Lol

Me too!  My phone is full of selfies....I'm a little narcissistic! :cheer:

Me too... UGH. Any attempt at a selfie always turns out to be HORRENDOUS. Envy all you ladies (and gents) who always look so great in your pics!

I'm glad I'm not alone. I hate almost every selfie I have ever taken.

On the selfies retty: LOL!!! Its ALL in the lighting. If you have a phone where you can switch the viewing so you can see yourself that helps A LOT. Move the camera until you have some good lighting on your face. Taken a gazillion selfies :haha:

If I could just get one decent selfie out of every few hundred attempts, I'd be more encouraged, but it feels like waaaaaaay too much work for too little return!

I just caved and bought the 126 even though it is expensive. I already bought the 125 and love the feel of it, but I haven't figured out how I'm going to use it. I already have a firm/dense, but soft, angled brush I like for contouring, and the 125 applies bronzer too heavily on my anemic skin. I picked up the 126 bc I hope it will dust bronzer more lightly. Still have to figure out how I wish to use the 125.

I don't think so at all! Why not get the 6% back from Nordy's after you make sure you really want it? I don't have a counter near to me or I'd do the same thing. It's practical, not wrong!

Yeah, that's what I realized about the 125, but I don't have a contour like it, so that's ok. It did o.k. with GR, but I liked the application the MA did using the 126 better. If it were a bit cheaper (and if Tom Ford hadn't devoured my wallet) I would cave.

Yeah so that's not an overspray on FU, it's dust! It was gone in a couple swipes! Errr. I ended up putting a Colourpop highlighter on top! I need to try again. Maybe as a blush. Or maybe as a return back to Bloomies
