MAC - A Rose Romance Discussion

[Yagmur]

I had a Makeover at my Counter, yesterday. And my MA used Just a Pinch Gel Blush on my Cheeks. It's gorgeous, it looks so natural

You can see it in my FOTD:

Could be. Same thing happens with me too, but with lipstick. After wearing all those bold colors, sometimes nude or soft colors look rather bland to me even though they are pretty colors.

Like A Rose Romance l/s, it is pretty, but I wish it had a little more ooomph to it.

My MUA at Nordstroms showed me the tester of the new quad last night, but said they aren't going to put it out until the 20th. I didn't care for the pink and the peach colors. The payoff was disappointing. I think I'm going to save my money for SW!!

My new love is Circa Plum!!!!!

That and Muntiny were my first piggies EVER!!!!!

I dont know why I've stayed away from them (pigments) for sooooo long but I finally decided to take the dive and I'm glad I did!!! Today I'm wearing Circa Plum on the lid with Smut in the crease and Sugar Shot as the highlight. Ahh I'm in love....and trouble

Thanks for the heads up

I NEED to get this lol. It's been my fave highlighter lately.
I've never really checked the clearance bin before, so I'm definitely gonna check it out. If you happen to check the bin and see it again could you please send me the link. Thanks!

Mine, too!!!! And I love them so much I wonder the same thing lol. My new love is now pigments. I want them all!

And they work so well together, too. Today I have Mutiny on the lid and circa plum on the outer corner and crease. Love them!

I saw it online and too bad that I can't purchase it since I don't have enough money to buy it. I'm just so sad right now.

yea - i feel a bit disappointed with it. i am at a loss what to use it with? ive only used it with carbon and mont black.

any ideas what to use it with ladies?

 

[shimmergrass]

i went to see the quad today. it isnt available for purchase till 20th but we could swatch it etc,

overall i must say i am disappointed.
I like solar white and contrast but other two colors didnt have a great payoff on my nc40 skin. so i dont think it is worth it to buy the quad just for those two colors...

so diasspointed... was really looking forward to this :/

I've used it with a light blue shadow, also with light to mid tone pinks. I agree it doesnt have much of a payoff, it's better for soft or toned down looks.

I've used Silverthorn with Divine Night and Sugarshot and they make a great smokey eye combo!

ok ladies (and men!) i was super naughty today. i brought summer rose BP. it just looked soooo hot on, and i am crossing a few dazzleglasses off my list, as i found out that they are going to be $48, when the BP was $45 - WTF MAC?
