Getting $100 for MAC for Mother's Day! What to buy?!?!

[AudreyNicole]

I already have money saved for Neo Sci-Fi. And I got all that I wanted from Naughty Nauticals, and plan to get 1 more Dazzleglass...

Besides that, what should I get!?!? I want to focus on the permanent line since they are always bombarding with LE collections and the permanent line gets pushed to the wayside! Give me lemmings!!

 

[depecher]

What do you already have? Are you looking to expand your neutrals, or do you want a mix of bright and neutral?

I have found myself LOVING the permanent browns which surprises me. I would have laughed if someone said I'd have a love affair with browns.

Have you checked out the Matte squared? Those are fantastic!!!!!!!

I have quite a few eyeshadows, but most are LE. I could use more neutrals, and purples. I was thinking of Poison Pen Matte2. I do have a few of those, and really like them. Which browns are you loving? I only have Bronze and Embark.

Lucky you... That is so sweet.

I love Signed, Sealed from Matte 2. It is the perfect deep brown from the crease. Do you have Woodwinked? That is another one of my faves. Also Mulch & Bronze.

Do you need any brushes or blushes. I recently bought Melba, Peachykeen, and Springsheen. I love Peachykeen. Reminds me of Stereo Rose MSF.

Poison Pen is lovely!

My brown obsessions are:

Satin Taupe
Shroom
Kid
Grain
Cork
Naked Lunch
All that Glitters
Woodwinked
Espresso
Arena
Sable
Amber Lights
Era
Mulch
Bisque
Copperplate--grey not brown but still love
Saddle
Texture

Some of these are kind of brown bordering on orange.

I also love:

Parfait Amour
Beautiful Iris
Swish
Creme de Violet
Shimmermoss
Moon's Reflection
Tilt
Da Bling
Seedy Pearl
Trax

My favorite non brown look to wear is: Beautiful Iris on lid, Trax in crease and Seedy Pearl as the highlight. It is my comfort color look.

I would also highly recommend checking out the Technakohls. I LOVE Earthline and Auto de Bleu or however it is spelled.

I hope this can give you a starting off point. I didn't realize how many LE shadows I have as compared to permanent.

Ain't that the truth! I can't wait!

I can make this easy...just send the one hundred to me

Just joking. I would look into the skin care products if you have all the makeup you need. I have heard some of the stuff is pretty good but can get pricey. This would be a great oppurtunity to try some of it without worrying about the prices! Maybe get some extra brushes or accessories to have on hand if you need them.

if it were me i would buy
mac 187
fluidline blacktrack
a powder blush
msf natural
pigments!!
happy hauling!

I am probably a bit late, but here are my recommendations: (I don't know what you already have

)

e/s from the perm line:
Poison Pen
Parfait Amour
Beautiful Iris
Da Bling
Sushi Flower
Newly Minted
Silver Ring
Vanilla
Paradisco
All That Glitters
Clarity
Swimming
Aquadisiac

Steamy

Paint Pot Delft

blush Pink Swoon, Style, Springsheen, Tenderling

I personally would buy brushes! As I have bought my NN and also have the money for Neo Sci-Fi saved, I bought the brushes 217 and 224 last week.

So what did you buy lucky mother ....=) My DH would never even think to get me such an awesome and practical gift ...=) I think it's funny that most men miss the stuff that is so obvious that we love and would want to buy .... Even if he didn't know what to get a giftcard to MAC is supper thoughtful

 

[blindpassion]

Bare Slimshine. I am l o v i n g it right now!

I will try and think of more for you! But since mothers day passed you probably went already? What did you get!

Yes, what did you get?

I wish I had a mom I could buy MAC for Mother's Day.

You have gorgeous blue eyes..have you tried any oranges/corals/burgundies? Nothing makes my blue eyes pop more then colors such as:

Artifact Paint Pot
Paradisco
Coppering
Rule
Samoa Silk
Cranberry
annddd Pen N' Pink & Blanc Type, just because I love me some mattes!

The great thing about those colors is that they can be played up, or put together to make a beautiful subtle eye. I have no idea if you own any of these colors, I just know that you love blue from your FOTD's and posts!

You're gorgeous, BTW, so I'm sure whatever you buy will look great.

Thanks ladies for thinking of me, and for the thoughtful comments!

I went to MAC yesterday to spend my Mother's Day gift, and to my surprise, I got a sneak peek at the Neo Sci Fi collection, so I saved half of my gift certificate to use towards that collection. But, I did pick up Vanilla e/s, Poison Pen e/s and Baby Sparks Dazzleglass. I LOVE them all! I can't believe I didn't have Vanilla e/s before this! It's so funny that you mention oranges Revinn, because yesterday, the MA that helped me had beautiful blue eyes and was wearing an awesome combo of Nylon, Samoa Silk, Paradisco and something else, and it looked so pretty on her! I have a really hard time finding peaches and oranges that look ok on me since my skin has so much pink it in. I am going to make a list from the things suggested in this thread and take it with me when I go shopping next! I have a birthday and wedding anniversary coming up, and my wonderful hubby has proven that he knows just where to shop for me!

Thanks again for the great suggestions!!
