The Violet gloss set and the Nude Patentpolish set <3
I wonder why Sultana is in this set though lol I feel like Clever would have fit better.

Thanks for that great explanation! I might grab one to try, but my eyes are on the balls!

The only ones I REALLY use are Redhead and the new Stereo Rose, but they are freaking gorgeous. I use them as blushes with lots of shimmer. I also use gold deposit as a bronzer, it's lovely, but I'm having issues ever since I started wearing sunblock year-round. But I have to say I've never been THAT happy with one of the light ones. I got the new Perfect Topping and it just feels so dried out and chalky. I use MAC Vanilla pigment as my highlighter and nothing else ever. THAT'S how perfect it is as a highlighter. So I guess it's hit and miss. Some make me sad I wasted the money and others are in makeup bag 7 days a week.

Those balls are so incredibly gorgeous that there is nothing on this earth (besides sudden death) that will keep me from them! NOTHING! Nevermind the fact that balls in general are one of my favorite things. Sometimes I open then tin just to look at them and give them a sniff. :haha:

So I'm guessing someone asked this already, what's the difference between EDSF and MSF? I have a few MSFs but the only EDSF I have is Superb, I like it, but I've only really used it as a brow highlight and a faint eyeshadow when I'm doing an intense lip and cat-eyeliner. I really want to get the gold EDSF in this collection, now that I know it exists, but I want to know what it's like...

It's the texture! IMO EDSFs blend more easily into the skin because of the gel-to-powder consistency. I feel like with EDSFs (and also MSFs), the formula has gotten better as time as gone on. I remember the first ED collection, I skipped them all. Then the hype lead me to pick up WoG and Superb during Glamourdaze, and I ended up returning both because I thought they were too sparkly. Totally swore off EDSFs after that until Magnetic Nude, and then Magnetic Appeal brought me back. My hopes are even higher for these ones! I say if you're interested in the colors, give it a swatch at least :bigthumb: Meanwhile I will be budgeting for both of them just in case :D

Thank you! That sounds good, I'm happy with gel to powder, maybe something like the new MUFE e/s line. It worried me at first, just wondering how a gel goes onto a brush, but they work well. I think I'll go with the gold one, it's pretty rare for me NOT to like something gold :D

  • Revved Up
  • Innocent
  • Mojo Maker

Thanks Jenny! Hmm, I think I like the pink set more even though I already have half of them (and none of the nudes). As my list is not long (probably 3-4 items from the CC), I might get both sets if they are not expensive (and we get them here).

Pigments are out. I have Naked and BG already and there's no sense to BU them.

You can do it one by one, or at least it's never been an issue for me.

You should B2M the whole set (the packaging included I think). But it depends on the item (you might be able to sneak in something), but some items say "not for individual sale" I think, and some are obviously part of a set.

so if I for example buy the red lip bag I need to back2mac both the lipgloss and lipstick? I thought of maybe selling the lipgloss or gift it but now I don't know if I can't back2mac

is it the same then for the eye and lip bag sets too (with lipgloss, lipstick, eyeliner and veluxe eyeshadows)?

I think you should B2M even the case they come in, but if you take off stickers and it's not special packaging/the MUA is not informed, so... But there's so much varation (some follow the rules and some not), so it's difficult to say 100%. Can you ask the policy at your Mac?

That's odd. We have it here, on the othe side of the Bottniska viken. I do recommend the London Pro (Foubert's Place). In my experience, they are not too fussy about B2M.
