MAC By Request discussion

[martiangurll]

Anyone wondering about Mothbrown, I swatched my old one (from Barbie) and new one and they are exactly the same on my wrist swatch. The new version (By Request) looked lighter in the pan but looked virtually the same as the Barbie one. HTH

They're having trouble updating the status of the orders, guy I spoke to from customer service yesterday was saying when I was checking up on my order. I got my order yesterday and it still says they're in the warehouse lol.

Aaaah, that explains it! Hopefully the CP order I placed will arrive by Saturday, since I'll be visiting my friend in the UK then.
Wow, that really sucks that the Dutch/Belgian site gets so little stock. I guess I am lucky to have an opportunity to order stuff via my friends in the US and in the UK. I am glad everyone still managed the items they were after.

I'm a noob what does CP mean

 

[Makeup-Bag]

I think it means Customer purchase! not too sure

 

[Anitacska]

I think CP means Customs Purchase actually.

And just to let you know, both my orders have arrived, so those 4 ladies I'm CP-ing to, I'll be posting your goodies to you early next week!

If anyone still needs a CP let me know, everything is still in stock on the Mac UK site (can you believe it???) and I would be more than happy to help. Postage is around £3-4 in Europe (depending on weight) and £4-6 to America (again depending on weight). PM me if you need help!

Ah thanks guys.

My other order came today and it still says it's in the warehouse

I even brought a new mineralize skin finish (lasts me up to 4 months) and lip prep and prime because as it's getting cold my lips get dry and i wanted to try something new. So all together out of this collection I have 3x Moxie 3x Rocker and 2x CYY. I think I'm stocked for life now lol but I did keep debating whether to send a Moxie and Rocker back or to someone but I just don't know.

 

[Anitacska]

Don't send them back! They will get destroyed. If you don't want them, I'm sure someone else will either here or on eBay.

Ah thanks guys.

Definitely send them to someone They will appriciate that since a lot of people missed out on the collection..

Any tips on a lip liner to use with Rocker? ^^ Cherry is too light

You could list them here and I am sure somebody will take them off your hands!

MB is available on the Dutch website! Forever Marilyn also appears to have been restocked.

I'm looking for a lip liner for Rocker too. How do you like it? I love it, I think the name really suits the colour!

You just made my day!

 

[PeachTwist]

I still can't decide whether or not to get these lipsticks or not.

I can't really afford it after the Marilyn collection and I'm not 100% sure. The problem is by the time I make my mind up they'll be sold out. Argh.

Lip swatches on NC15 skin anyone so I can maybe see about only getting 1?

You've got love goddess haven't you? Moxie has less red in it but they are quite similar.. have you seen my swatch comparing the 2?

I'm posting it again, Moxie/Love Goddess

Rocker is a very deep red, it will look vampy on you. From the pics I've seen on internet it looks like a darker version of deeply adored, but I haven't got the latter though.
I haven't got CYY it won't work on my complexion for sure...


I'm the same about SI from Marilyn.. can't afford it now, but it's still available on Selfridges.. why do I want it so bad? ((

Thanks!

I do like the look of Moxie but how many bright pinks does a girl need? I usually wear pretty neutral lips so I'm trying to justify it because I know it's an old l/s and LE. I have DA also but I haven't tried it yet but if it's similar I could probably skip that one too... and CYY I kind of want because it's a cult lipstick really, but again... so neon I think I'd probably be uncomfortable in it. Blah.

SI was the only one from Marilyn I skipped because it seems to have so much orange. Sigh.

 

[MACerette]

@Xaspedastera: Brick lipliner pairs well with Rocker.

 

[MACerette]

Sorry xasperadastra I misspelled your name. I am having huge problems with Specktra atm. I cannot like, I cannot send pm's and even posting creates difficulties. Am I the only one?

 

[MissTT]

I *think* some people earlier in the thread were pairing Rocker with Nightmoth liner, but I may be tired. I have both and haven't opened either one to try it.

Nightmoth would be great, or maybe Absolutely It if you have that one.
