MAC - Graphic Garden (Nordies Anniversary Collection) Discussion

[miss_primer]

Regular standard shipping is $8 at Nordstroms and right now they have been doing $5 shipping for $50 beauty purchase. I think that will be permanent also the $5 shipping on beauty purchases.

I guess we were posting at the same time.

Thank you both! That doesn't sound so bad, I can't wait to see some swatches and order one or both!

*yay*

I think the palettes are so pretty, especially Graphic Garden, but at the same time I have colors that could easily dupe all of them, so I'm not sure. It would be nice to have them in one compact though! hmm..

And both lip bags are quite tempting at least for now!

I will skip the look boxes b/c I have everything that comes in them!

 

[Boasorte]

I don't have that many MAC shadows I'm only a noob so this will be a good way to build just a tiny collection, I'm a sucker for palettes, I can't be bothered to depot anything myself, lol
I also second the motion for some swatches! Can't wait

After I've started looking closely at this collection, I'm a little disappointed that so much of it is permanent. I'll think I'll pass completely on the lookboxes after all.

I'm going to have to see the lip bags in person but I'm pretty sure I'll end up getting one of them. Same with the Fresh Cut palette, maybe the Graphic Garden too? I'll probably pass on the brush bags as well.

I have to say though that I LOVE the packaging! My room and bathroom are both decorated in that same black and white minimalist floral pattern. <3

The Shell Pearl Beauty Powder from the Sweet Tease Look Box is nothing short of sublime, if not, quite extraordinary!

I've been wanting a backup of this for quite some time and was hoping it would get repromoted somewhere along the line. Kudos to Nordies! And Kudos to them for offering these items in their full sizes within these boxes.
Can't wait!

Although...offering the 181SE brush in all three sets is a mistake - I think, especially for those who may be interested in multiple sets. They should have offered this for sale separately from the Look Boxes.

[SmokeSignal16]

Sweet Tease Look Box

• Shell Pearl Beauty Powder Fresh mid-tone peach with gold pearl (Repromote from Sundressing)
• Gleam Eyeshadow Barely pinked gold (Lustre) (Permanent)
• Mulch Eyeshadow Intense golden reddish brown flecked with golden bronze shimmer (Velvet) (Permanent)
• Love Nectar Lustreglass Ultra-soft apricot with pearl (Permanent)
• Zoomlash Mascara in Zoomblack (Trial Size) Pure black (Permanent)
• 181 Brush (Promotional Size)

...Yeah...this is what I'm jazzed about as well!

Shell Pearl is very special! I found one at a CCO about a year ago and, of course, wanted more of them.

I figure we're getting an $85-$90 value for $60 with these Boxes.
I paid $30 for my 181SE brush so...

• Shell Pearl Beauty Powder $22
• Gleam Eyeshadow $14.50
• Mulch Eyeshadow $14.50
• Love Nectar Lustreglass $14.00
• Zoomlash Mascara in Zoomblack $6.00 (rough value)
• 181 Brush $30 (?) depending if it indeed is the actual 181 or the 181SE (???) yet to be determined as there may be a difference? They indicate a "promotional size" brush? Naturally, that will set the value.

 

[Kayraphat]

OK maybe I will get a look box mwa-hah-hah!

 

[mtrimier]

tee hee! the Sweet Tease Lookbox was the only one I was interested in from the list. I will probably end up getting everything else as well, though.

I need to just have my paycheck EFT'd.

 

[carlierae26]

I love the palettes and a few of the lookboxes, maybe. I'm rather new to mac, so, everything will be new to me. Can you buy the things in the lookboxes cheaper by themselves?

 

[SmokeSignal16]

It's usually a better value to buy the look boxes rather than by themselves individually.

 

[Yagmur]

I really want to see Pictures of the Lookboxes!

Graphic Garden and Summer Crop for me!!!

Though I am eyeing the palettes!

Exactly what's on my list. I might pick up a brush set but I'm thinking I can just find one at the CCO later on.
