Ok, so my birthday is Wedensday, and this weekend, my husband is taking me on a $200 MAC shopping spree! So, I need ideas... My collection is pretty small and I am hoping to make it considerably larger after this weekend! LOL! So, my question to you is...

What should I get? I have $200 to spend on MAC up to and including products from the Patternmaker collection, what would you buy?

ooh have fun shopping

def get:
gleam e/s, that's my all time favorite e/s, great for days your too late to do make up but you want to do it anyway

beige-ing shadestick: great e/sbase. it a bit sticky so it make even the most horrible lustre e/s stick. and when you wanna go vibrant, the shadestick will do wonders too

try to find nightfish fluidliner from lure, it's a soft black on. So a black suitable for blondies

buff blusher is great for a natural flushed look, and spice blusher is my bronzer/blusher

buttery kohlpencil is great for lining the waterline: it's a shimmery cream, and it is a real eye opener!!! Make's you look awake when you're not

and last but not least: get a concealer!!! without darkcircles you look better!! and when you think you don't have them, well, that's what I thought, and I can't live without my concealer anymore!!!

pattermaker isn't something I can plan for you, haha but get youself like a brush set



I think you're over $300 now hahaha

don't bring a creditcard, just cash, and you can't go wrong

Hey hun, I would say wait until A Muse if you can because then you can get all the MSF's, an mineralize duo or two, and some lip products! I agree with Sanne's recs though if you can't 8) .

I would wait, but I already have money saved for that, I am going to stock up on permanent products! LOL!

Y'know, I'd just play it by ear and get whatever strikes me as we are there!

I have some things in mind that I absolutely plan on getting like:
* 187
* Blacktrack fluidline
* Viva Glam l/s and l/g

But I think I am just going to wing the rest! It is too hard to try to plan out cause I want one of everything!!

i went on a spree for my birthday last month and spent about that much! it was so much fun tho!

ok, recs:
swimming e/s- my favourite green. i love it! its just so pretty!
sushi flower- pretty vibrant pink. gorgeous
freshwater- bright blue, looks nice with zonk bleu!
if you can get a 15 pan palette and fill with pans- works out cheaper!
pink poodle l/g, bright but not as bright as it looks in the tube, pretty

fluid lines- blacktrack, delphic, sweet sage and blue peep

shadesticks- lucky jade, its a really nice one. i like sea me as well but i guess that it quite bright!

hope that helps!

I think Pink Maribu (Frost) Lipstick would look really cute on you, with your coloring.

If you like frosty pinks!

I mean this in the best possible way so please don't think I'm a board snob. In all hoesty, if I were you, I wouldn't get Blacktrack fluidline. I think that it would be too much for your coloring. Maybe try dipdown instead. If you want you might even look into Rich Ground. Allthough, it has a bit of a coppery tint to it. I made the mistake of buying Blacktrack (I'm a NW20) and I never use it because it's just too much and really it makes me look saggy and tired.

Thanks... I am thinking that too. Did you try nightfish? Or Engraved powerpoint? I am thinking I might wait for Lithograph fluidline coming with A Muse... supposed to be a dark charcoal grey. I definately don't need any help looking tired! LOL!

Don't get blacktrack if your NW20. I have it, and it's so dark and overpowering. I've completely stopped using it.

Dipdown fluidline
Plum dressing eyeshadow, Digit eyeshadow, Bronze eyeshadow, Mythology eyeshadow, woodwinked...

Lucky Jade, Beige-ing, Shimmermint, Taupeographic shadesticks
