I wish that I liked the shadow suites a bit more but none of the colors really stick out to me except for shallow v deep. What do you all want from the upcoming collections?

What's on your list, by the way? And why are you wishing that you want MORE to spend your money on!?

Would that be me?

So good evening to everyone! I am unable to hit the thanks button yet again, I guess I'll have to inquire about that. But I did catch up on the posts. It's been a rather busy weekend with my future SIL's wedding shower yesterday and a birthday party for my son's little buddy today... that was verging on violent with all the boys in the inflatable bouncy tent thingy and my brave baby girl in their with all of them.

It started getting so out of hand that the dad of the birthday boy finally shut the blower off that keeps the tent inflated and then it was just sheer mayhem with the kids trying to get out before the tent collapsed on them. Maybe not the best thing to do!

Somehow I managed to go back to the MAC counter though to pick up the Shadowy Lady quad, which I actually didn't even bother looking at before, but quite liked except for Deep Truth, which I have no use for.

As for the palettes, I agree that the 15 pan is a pain as well, even if it were to have a clear lid or be labelled. But I quite like the quads. I have 3 15 pan palettes and between my own and the pre-made quads, I think i have about 12 or so. I did end up putting all my starflash in one 15 pan palette, but I'll probably eventually break those down into quads as well.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I am really not looking forward to work this week, i haven't entirely accepted that I'm back yet and the weather this week is looking goooood.

Oh, my list for the next little while...

Ungaro - the pale pink l/s, something rose? Also, the purple eyeshadow. I'm going to try very hard to keep it at that. I was also eyeing the coral e/s, but not sure if I would really use it that much.

Cremesheen - not sure which yet, but I know there's about three that I will end up getting.

And I forgot to mention that when I picked up my quad today, I got a MA that has done my make-up before and one I see quite frequently, and I asked her for a sample of Blonde's Gold and she filled that sample jar right to the rim!

I should be thanking my lucky stars that I don't want anymore than I do!

Cello Pink is one of my favorite lip colors. It is so juicy looking and the prettiest pink.

Alright so here is the list:

Suite Array:
Shallow v Deep
Smoke & Ash
Black Russian Pearlglide
Molasses Pearlglide

Ungaro:
Pure Rose Lipstick
Essential Beige Paint Pot
Soft Flower Eye Shadow
Lilac Touch Eye Shadow
Mineral Eye Shadow
Crushed Bougainvillea CCB
Flower Mist Dew Beauty Powder

Manish:
Eye Palette
Girl About Town Lipstick
Pink Manish Lipglass
Pink Swoon Blush

Sheer Minerals/Mineral Expansion:
Soft & Gentle MSF
So Ceylon MSF
Petticoat MSF
Gold Deposit MSF
Gentle Mineralize Blush (a B/U)

Red She Said:
From what I know so far
Danger Zone MES
Red She Said Lipstick

I am going to try and pair this down a bit. Is is just me or does pearlglide sound like a name of a tampon?

 

[Zantedge]

Ungaro: $53.50 + tax = $59.92
e/s
Lipglass
Paint Pot

Suite Array: 68 + tax = $76.16
Wolf
Miss Fortune
Black Russian
Rave

Sheer Minerals: 66 + tax = $73.92
181 brush
MSF


So my total for those three collections is 210 with tax...

Not too bad I kinda wish I wasn't getting four liners from Suite Array.. but they're so pretty I can't help it. There's other stuff I want from like, Creamsheen, Gold Fever and House of Mineralize and the regular line, but those will have to wait cause I'm not sure how much money I'll have in the fall... I need a job! (oh yeah and then there's Red She Said...)

It does!

That's quite a list! I guess I'll have to add Petticoat to my list as well. I actually almost bought this when it originally came out, but then decided against it because it was a time when I actually exercised restraint, lol! But I can honestly say that after getting Petticoat, I think I might be done with MSF's for a while. I don't reach for the one's I have all that often. The mineralized blushes on the other hand, I use every day and really try to change it up with the colours.

 

[KikiB]

Well here is the realistic list:

Gold Fever: Silver Fog pigment and Gold glitter

Manish Arora: EVERYTHING, plus two of the Kiss Manish.

Sheer Minerals: Two of Petticoat and So Ceylon

House of Minerals: One of Soft & Gentle, Heat/Element, and Gold Deposit

If I had the funds:

Cult of Cherry: Backups of Rich & Ripe and Cult of Cherry, plus Blooming

Suite Array: Fly-by-Blu and Miss Fortune Pearlglides, plus Rose Suites

Ungaro: the beauty powder

Gold Fever: Silver Fog and Gold

Manish Arora: Everything

Sheer Minerals: Two of Petticoat and So Ceylon, plus one each of the Sheersheen powders

House of Minerals: Two each of Soft & Gentle, Gold Deposit, and Heat/Element

Now the total for what I want is $623.48 with tax. However, the total for what I actually will get is $362.97, with tax. I suppose the main consolation is that the last three items will be perm items, so they don't have to be bought immediately.

 

[coachkitten]

I don't know what I am so MSF crazy but I am! I hope that they end up keeping all of these MSFs part of the regular line otherwise I am going to buy about 5 backups of petticoat. I used that MSF everyday!

 

[KikiB]

I don't have very many MSF's at all, and I have wanted to get both Petticoat and Gold Deposit for awhile.

 

[Sanayhs]

Actually, to be honest, if the purple eyeshadow from Ungaro doesn't totally suck, it will be mine. I'm such a pushover when it comes to purple shadows. Damn.

 

[coachkitten]

I need to start learing to love mattes and satins. I tend to always want to use vps and frosts because they are the easiest for me to blend and I like the finishes. IMO mattes and satins always look so flat on me. I am hoping that with the Ungaro collection I will create some looks with those that will make me change my mind about those finishes.

 

[KikiB]

Nothing will change my mind about mattes, but Satins work good in some cases. Sushi Flower is a good blush, and Claire de Lune is a good highlight. But a darker satin would be bad for me especially since I can't blend to save my life, and also I have to wear something frosty or else I look dead.

 

[coachkitten]

I forgot that Claire de lune was a satin. I love that color!

 

[KikiB]

I only wear Claire de Lune as a base or a highlight anyways, so it doesn't matter the texture as long as it isn't a matte.

 

[darkishstar]

Samantha, I'm a pushover for purple shadows too. Something to do with my light golden brown eyes what?

My list!

CoC: (Still. )
-Bing (Possibly, if it's still there for me to try on Wednesday...)
-Silverstruck (maybe)

Ungaro:
NOTHING.

Suite Array: (Possibly)
-Rave
-Bankroll
Though I think in my heart of hearts these WILL NOT work for me.

Sheer Minerals:
-Petticoat
-So Ceylon

Red She Said:
-Brush Set
-Palette (?)

Random Perm Items:
-Shimmermoss
-Steamy
-Electric Eel
-Freshwater
-Sketch
-Beautiful Iris
-Flammable Paint
-Blackground Paint Pot
-Bare Study Paint Pot
-Plum Lipliner
-O

UHHHH.
I don't want to know how much that totals to.

Damn you MAC. Damn you.

 

[darkishstar]

I like Sweet Chestnut as a Satin btw.

It find it blends nicely. Quite dreamy. Then again, the pigmentation of the Spiced Chocolate Quad is fantastic!

 

[kobri]

Well I haven't gotten the future collection lemmings yet, except for the Ungaro paint pot. I am looking forward to other collections, but they aren't as specific yet.
Oh god! I just saw more pics on my friend's camera! In one I have no hand, my arm is out at such an angle that I look like an amputee,

I am SO glad I agreed to be in pics

 

[KikiB]

I totally do NOT let people take pictures of me. The camera adds a ton of weight to me, and I always look like a neanderthal. I can't get my face to look right.

 

[Zantedge]

Ugh I hate getting my picture taken, I am seriously the most unphotogenic person I know. I could take 100 pictures of myself, and one *might* look alright...

 

[KikiB]

Yep, that's about the ratio I get.
