MAC 25% off sale

[noahlowryfan]

I need to get to my final list. I'm still working on it. I'm heading to the MAC counter today so I can look at the neutral eyeshadow colors before finally deciding on what 4 neutral colors to get and also looking at the shades for the Studio Sculpt foundation.

can anyone give me 4 neutral colors (hightlight, crease, lid) that would go great with NC30 skin, black hair and brown eyes.

^ ok, then maybe i'll wait, I'm going to the one in Niagara at the beginning of july.

Just a note for those of you who bought when the F&F code was working tuesday and were worried if the discount would be honoured. I ordered with the code on tues as well and I got everything I ordered, the discount was honoured, and everything arrived in 2 days.

Just a heads up, I was just there 2 weeks ago and they didn't have it.
They never have any fluidline selection

 

[Mabelle]

ohhhh ok! thank you!! IS it a good CCO? Do they have a decent selection? ^

I dont go to often, since I live close to toronto, but its an ok selection, about 10 eyeshadows, pigments, blushes.
nothing special though, im always let down when i go for brushes and MSF'S
and they get noo new collections in ever, which sucks.

 

[Mabelle]

Oh thats ok! im going for old stuff mostly! Thanks!

MAC is a money swindler!!

I just spent $160 in the past 3 weeks ugh, wish I had known about the sale I would've held off.

So here's my list so far:
Newly Minted
Saddle
Buckwheat
214

I really wanted Brave New Bronze

Hopefully they're still hope @ the counters & stores around here..

 

[miss sha]

Just realized that my CC company upped my credit limit by $500 AND my bday is coming up, so I went back and piled more stuff on my cart. I wish the 16th would just hurry up already before I break $300! @__@

 

[brightyngthng]

So I have seriously been sitting here going back and forth looking at swatches and reviews on stuff for two hours now, obviously I need a life lol

anyways I still don't know what I want.. I'm going to Destin, FL in july and plan on going to the cco there so I don't want to go overboard on the f&f sale now and blow all my mula, but I also don't want to miss out on the sale and be disappointed with the cco... ahhh this is such a life altering decision!

Here's the list so far:

fix + -don't have any so i'm thinking it's a must
spiked brow -pencil also a must
satin taupe pan ????
187 ??? right now i'm using the 109 for foundation but i dont have a good blush/highlighting brush so can't decide
219 -this is a must i think since i don't own a good precise brush


now the maybes?

i need a good peach blush but i can't decide which one would would look best on my NC 20 skintone
teal pigment
deep blue green pigment
sketch pan
shale pan
swimming pan
stars n' rockets pan

 

[MissResha]

alright here's my semi-final


brush backups:
109, 239, 217, 242 (still debating if i should get a second 109)

brushes i dont have yet but dammit they will be mine:
214, 266, 138, 231, 272

i also have in my cart:

Up the Amp lipstick
Brush cleanser
Fever blush pan


total before sale, $266.00

yikes!

 

[ABB113]

Eeee....my total's currently at $236! :-( Can anyone suggest any must-have shadow or blush colors for a fair-skinned gal with dark brown hair and brown eyes? Must narrow down this list lol

Make up is my life .


........... Oh my god I need a life . AHAHh but who cares I love it !

ps satin taupe IMO is a MUST for everyone. It's so pretty ...

 

[monter]

Okay, I'm posting my list with my thoughts... I need to narrow this down like whoa.

- Electric Eel pan
- Freshwater pan
- Moon's Reflection pan (it's out of stock right now, and I'm an NC20... will this show up on me? Should I take it off?)
- Club pan
- Satellite Dreams pan (out of stock.. the only purple I have so far is Beautiful Iris. Is this too similar to justify getting?)
- Nocturnelle pan (I have Contrast already - another dark purple...)
- Passionate pan (Should an NC20 with blue eyes be messing with a hot pink shadow?

)
- Smut pan (I have Contrast, Club, Knight, and Pandamonium... is this different enough to justify?)
- Deep Truth pan (I know it's blue and Contrast is purple, but...)
- Parfait Amour pan (This or Satellite Dreams? Or both?)
- Gorgeous Gold pan
- Bitter pan
- Stars 'n Rockets pan
- Humid pan
- Juxt pan (I looked in the swatches forum and saw that this is kind of similar to Warm Chill - just more yellow instead of blue. How is the color payoff on this?)
- Swimming pan
- Love Nectar d/g (I love Wonderstruck - is this different enough to justify getting?)
- Baby Sparks d/g (Worth getting if I'm on a budget?)
- Smile d/g (Worth gettng if I'm on a budget?)
- Buzz l/g

And probably a 15-pan and a pencil sharpener.

I'll ditto that Satin Taupe isa must. I love this one; goes with a lot of different looks.

I have Shale, too. I think it's a really versatile color. I use it a a wash sometimes, sometimes as a crease color. (I use it a lot with Satin Taupe, actually!)

Stars 'n Rockets is such a pretty color. I say go for it.

 

[Civies]

Okay so I was thinking about shale .. and I actually put it in my shopping cart but it keeps coming on/off. I really like the colour in the pot AND the swatches however I'm not sure how it would look on me.

I have black hair, light brown eyes and NC35. I'm scared to look like I got punched in the eye

.

Any e/s recommendations for me guys ? I love neutrals and is a huge taupe fan.

ps should I change anything up ? I feel like I have so much e/s lol ! In my list I have
8 e/s
2 l/g
1 ccb
1 15 pan palette

& I have refined golden bronzer, eversun bpb, too many l/s and a few l/g .

I'm an NC20/25, blonde, blue eyes - I have no problems with Shale looking like a bruise.

hth

Okay it looks like I mayhave to try the 239 brush. I have a 242 that i used to pack on color. Man, ya'll are making my list larger.
