MAC Enchanted Eve / Magic Of The Night / Irresistibly Charming Holiday Collection (Oct 18, 2015)

[Prettypackages]

I always buff out my highlighter and blush with two duo-fiber brushes. Two different sizes. I apply highlighter with my fan or the RT one, blush with MAC 129 then buff.

Hahahaaa, thanks.
Foundation: Estee Lauder Double Wear in Rich Chestnut (EL Illuminating Primer mixed with either Becca Topaz or Rose Gold SSP liquid prior)
Finishing Powder: Black Radiance Soft Focus in Creamy Bronze
Undereye: Becca Brightener + concealer in Syrup (I think you have it and don't like it, right?)
Eyes: ABH Tamanna Palette and a Miko liner on lower lash line
Highlighter: Oh, Darling
Blush: A Little Lusty from MACnificent Me
Lips: Evening Rendezvous with NYX Prune lip pencil
MAC Fix + then NYX Matte Setting Spray after

Top: Adam Lippes for Target Crepe Tank (Full outfit pics on my IG)

what buffing brushes do you use?
So do you think it is the SSP liquid that's giving you that over all lit within ethereal glow? I know you have on makeup, but it all looks so natural and perfect. I might have to give EL DW another chance.
I do like the becca brightener, speaking of, mine is starting to smell OLD AS HELL, and I bought it this summer. How is yours holding up?
I loved the becca concealers, but was inbtwn two colors. I might try them again in the winter.
LOL, I was about to go to your instagram but didn't want to be a stalker. LMAO

Omg ER IS GORG! I say swatch nothing in the dark!! Well we know this but I was anxious last night Here it is with NYX Prune lip pencil which works PERFECTLY with it

Edit: Highlighter is Oh, Darling. Blush is A Little Lusty from the MACnificent Me Collection. ER is unique but I still brought other lipsticks with me to swatch with it. I also took a pic of my highlighters near the window with OD. I'll put that up later. Rushing to work!

Beautiful on you!!!! My ER arrived yesterday and it's gorgeous!!! I'm glad I didn't skip it..I thought Brazen Berry was a close dupe but it's not.

Swatched all the Enchanted Eve Lip Stuff. I split the image since I couldn't capture everything properly on my hand. NW45.

Taken outside The lip color in the compacts aren't the greatest. I used my finger and I can't imagine using a brush to apply. They aren't glosses so not soft which I think will be a b*tch to use a brush with. I had to swipe a few times just to get the colors to appear the way they did here. The lip bags/clutches themselves are nice, I should have taken a pic. They aren't super hard but they have structure.

Both brushes are cheapos, I think the big one is Nikka K. The small is ELF. It could be the SSP though I started that only a couple weeks now to use them up. I think part is my camera. The Note 4. I also think the brightener/concealer duo helps and the Fix+. And that foundation is GOOOLLLLDDDD, love it! Yup my brightener has been smelling old. What's up with that?? That's what IG is for, no?!! Lol

It is such a pretty color. I'm glad I got it and it's still around!

While Oh Darling is VERY pretty, I think Shaft of Gold is stunning on deeper skintones. Such a rich, warm shade!

I agree! just picked it up today!

 

[montREALady]

OMG this is everything!!!!!

You A holes are making me want SOG dammmmmmmittttt
Thanks. I used both though, lmaooo!

18+ months later, my go to blush is Peachtwist, lustres are either my best friend or my worst enemy and I somehow own a lot of red lipsticks. My makeup skills have improved (I think) and learnt some new things along the way. Still got a long way to go

I got more product info here, I already was doing my makeup thing from before. I should have said I spent more $ on makeup since joining Specktra because everyone here are ENABLERSSSSSS!

i think I'm getting one more pressed shadow then I'm done with this collection

Everybody looks so great

Funny my fan doesn't work best with OD. Just swatch it, it's gorg. Buy another one for a gift

 

[montREALady]

OMG I was just at Macy's Herald Sq and this girl got the last OD in the drawer! They were sold out yesterday so I'm not sure what happened. Maybe they brought from the other counters after I left yesterday morning or someone didn't pick up their order, but she lucked out. She was in such shock. Oh and the drawer was full of SoG.

 

[Prettypackages]

It is such a pretty color. I'm glad I got it and it's still around!

DOn't know, but so disappointed.

What color are you in ELDW? I went to get matched at lunch. I absolutely hate going to a slow counter at lunch. She was like, want to sit and I can put it all over and do your whole face. No I'm at lunch. Then she kept trying to suggest other things... UM, I'M AT LUNCH! I just want to get my stuff and go!!!
I tried their pot concealer it is a decent match. I'm surprised. I really like it. I think I'm 4n or was it 5n. Eh, I don't remember. LOL

Do you like the note 4, I have the 3, and was thinking of getting that one b/c I'm disappointed the 5 isn't expandable.

Me too. Wonder if I should contact their customer service. Because that makes no sense. I thought it was just me.

4N, Rich Chestnut. I was going to try their new Makeup To Go that comes in the compact but the reviews haven't been the greatest. OMG that's hilarious! She was trying hard boy. Being in sales is not easy. I overheard the MAC manager at Macy's telling his people to push the other stuff in this collection (bags and sets) because everyone is rushing the highlighters and Magic of the Night.

I love it so far. I had the S4 and was due for an upgrade (my phone memory was full and I kept having to delete stuff) and also pissed the new Samsung's, you can't expand the memory (like you said) or change the battery so I went with the Note 4 since it was free with AT&T with contract. I've never used the stylus though. I keep forgetting to! LOL. Do you use yours? I need to get into that. I'm hoping the next time I have to upgrade Samsung would have came to their senses and changed it back to the way it was. Doubt it, but hey, lol.

Looks like Nordies has OD and SoG online...just added OD to my cart for kicks. Not sure how legit it is since orders were cancelled. Maybe since it launched in stores they're pulling from stores now?

Prolly so.

 

[Ajigglin]

Flawless :eyelove: . Everyone has just smashed this collection, now I've got to make a choice... OD or SoG????? And I can't afford to get both

If you can only get one, get SoG.

 

[Marsha Pomells]

Thanks. I used both though, lmaooo! oke: I got more product info here, I already was doing my makeup thing from before.

Yep... Since joining, my bank account has taken a beating and a half. I would never have thought to myself that would own several TF items, 100+ lipsticks from different brands. The list goes on

 

[pixi]

Oh yesss sure will hun :eyelove: Got to have ER in my life I'm not sure whether I should get one of the eyeshadows... my eye's on the purple one.. dunno how unique the shade is .. hmmm... What u getting?

yay I'll be getting ER and nightmoth. I kind of want dark side too! them purple bullets the nude lip bag is super cute too!

 

[Marsha Pomells]

If you can only get one, get SoG.

Quite a few people on here have said that... I am actually quite drawn to SoG. Looks like me and the British Specktrettes have got a battle on our hands

Yeah and nowhere to put all this sh*t. Then not to mention I do Ipsy Glam Bag, Target Beauty Box and Essence Beauty Box. Like can I stop?

Must've spent nearly £270 in one go at Tom Ford, a couple of months back (the sales assistant sent me a email about the summer collection and I had to look... And then purchase a compact, 2 shadows, and some more boys). Don't get me started on my Sephora basket, and there are a couple more boys I want from Tom Ford (Stavros is now a perm shade... I can now go crazy for Stavros). I got 2 boxes full of lipstick, how many draws full of makeup and nail polish. My landlord had to give more storage because of the makeup (I think he understands my makeup 'hoarding').

really! I just got the regular black bag yesterday. Is the bag at Mac stores or also at Nordstrom Mac counters? They were literally still setting up the display when I picked up my OD yesterday!

 

[Prettypackages]

I want a bag dammit! LOL
