MAC - Dsquared2 Discussion

[shontay07108]

We need each other b/c money burns a hole in my pocket. Makeup is such an addiction. I'm afraid to add up all the stuff I want from Mac. My Sephora wishlist is steep enough. I'm just glad it's not tax time b/c then I would truly go buckwild. I would buy my local FSS. SMH.

Oh and I work for Saks Fifth Avenue and needless to say my credit card is worn out b/c of the discount I get on cosmetics. I'm horrible.

Yeah I think I better go back to work somewhere where I can get a discount....I'll think about that...I'm sure my husband would be ever so grateful lol

It really does come in handy. It tempts you, but at least you get some $$$ off. It's a good thing for me that I'm not really tempted by the clothes. It's all about makeup. However, we got a crapload of burberry scarves that are GORGEOUS. I want at least 3. Do you know what that will do to my bank account?

And it's an outlet that I work at. I am sad, but also grateful that there isn't a Mac counter at Saks.

well, I still want that v GPS

I remember from last time Feline was released there was an issue with sharpening it and I can't remember if the MAC sharpener will do or not?

Or was the UD 24/7 that had issues sharpening?

Tish, just get one of each. I can promise you won't use the backup. Although you could buy 2 of each and I'll save my money now and wait for you to put the backups in the clearance bin in a couple months.

 

[TISH1124]

^^ I hate you....I'm getting one

My Mac sharpener sharpens the kohls just fine for me Face2Mac (so does my NYX sharpener

)

 

[shontay07108]

Logic hurts, doesn't it Tish?

 

[TISH1124]

Yes, especially when it is pointed out in writing....Uggghhhh

Are you guessing - or did you actually swatch them side by side somehow?

I don't think they will be similar - Marquise d is a creamy peach
Nude Rose - should be more on the pink side

 

[TISH1124]

I am still think'n Nude Rose and Pure Rose will be close...I can't wait to compare them side by side...they seem to be the same color and texture just from eyeballing only...and i love Pure Rose

Now I want to see some comparison swatches of Blood Red with All's Fair and London Life. I have AF and LL (my closest-to-neutral shades), but now I'm beginning to doubt Blood Red. It looks like a great hot-pink/berry, but is it really worth it?

 

[shontay07108]

I'm thinking I can buy Nude Rose and actually make it work on my pigmented lips if this lip erase is what I'm hoping it will be. If it can really tone down the pigmentation in my lips I will have a field day snatching up all the pink lippies I can get my grubby little fingers on.

 

[elegant-one]

I'm wondering - if the Nude Rose has a lil more pink to it, how it would look over the Nude ccb

 

[elegant-one]

Shontay - I have the really pigmented lip thingy going on too. kinda drives me crazy. I'm always trying to nude them out too

Actually, my lip color is like just a shade lighter than Midi Mauve

Are you getting Dim Or Pale...I actually like Pale for the light neutral shades and Dim for all others on me anyway

 

[shontay07108]

Oh man, Tish, I forgot there are two shades.

I gotta do some research.

 

[shontay07108]

After checking some swatches on makeupalley, I think I'll go with Dim. Plae seems a little too severe.

 

[TISH1124]

i will swatch them both on my lips tomorrow and take pictures ...I think we are close in shade
