Permanent MAC Items

[fur4elise]

My MAC collection is mostly permanent stuff .And I adore it all. From different foundation, concealers, brushes, fluidlines, bronzers, eyeshadows... I started buying mac in 2008. I do buy LE stuff but I stopped chasing it years ago. Many of the permanent items I keep repurchasing. These are staples in my makeup collection

Blacktrack fluidline
prolongwear concealer
studio fix fluid
careblend powder
refined golden bronzer
lingering brow pencil
soft and gentle

I also love moisturie infusion, mineralize timecheck lotion, strobe cream... oh and Huggable lipsticks and lipglosses

My favorite blushes are warm soul, springhseen, sunbasque.

I have been wanting to try their skincare.

^^^^^The highlighted above are in my collection too! I too stopped chasing the collections a couple years ago...I was buying too much and not using any of it! I am learning (from Monsy and a few other ladies here) the "art of the edit" before purchasing.

Did anyone else see the price drop for the 9x & 15x eyeshadow palettes!? Seriously! $3.55 per pan (9) $4.33 per pan (15)! And here I was thinking about purchasing a Viseart, or Natasha Denona (5 pan), or MUFE! I think MAC is trying to compete with these companies! The MAC prices cannot be beat! Truth is I return to my MAC e/s collection again and again. My palettes get used! I may dive in and start earning my Devoted benefits on some of these shadows!

yes those palettes have amazing price! i think they were 100$ when first released and they dropped them later to 85

i just ordered "nordstrom finest" or how they call them "mellow moderns" on mac website. i already have cool neutrals, warm neutrals and nordstrom exlcusive one i forgot the name ??

I love the x9 palettes too I have amber and macnificent me

btw refined golden topped with soft and gentle is my fav combo ever. I actually used up both products. That never happened with anything else.

^^^^^That sounds gorgeous! Well I am especially sold on buying a couple palettes! Temptalia's review on the ND 28 Purple Blue just went up and it got a B-! I feel I would get a heck of a lot more value and use from MAC tried & true shadows than taking a risk on an overpriced product with too much product in it. LOL! Look at MAC! Making a comeback!!!

Does anyone have any favorite pairings with Star Violet e/s? I got it recently when I b2Med a bunch of stuff cause it's so pretty, but I have been underwhelmed with the looks I've done with it so far. It should be great on me- I have green eyes and warm pale skin, but I think I just keep putting it with the wrong stuff

I honestly have so much more permanent stuff from MAC than LE.. lots of their perm jewels become unsung heroes I think when they already have lots of good colors etc already didn't start buying LE though since like a year ago or so and I don't mind
