MAC Grey Friday Collection Discussion (November 2012)

[katred]

I was thinking of layering Summer Shower over Jet. I know, I am weird.

Sounds brilliant.

i dont have SS.

but i do have apocalips and i love it. i like it with their violate gloss on top. i also got serpentina from lime crime and its quite pretty. im into weird colors right now

sounds beautiful!

 

[MACina]

That is a great idea....I have to try this combo!

You are making me wish I had a BU of SS. And, I was just thinking, what if I got the Apocalips lippy (from Illmasqua?) and layered SS over that? Anyhoo, all this talk of Glaze lipsticks and grey lips just inspired me to get UD Oilslick lippy and it was ON SALE at ACW. So now I don't have to fret if I miss this release (although I probably will plot to get Jet also)

 

[kimibos]

so the lippie is the only thing in this collection, right??

 

[lilinah]

What is ACW?

 

[aradhana]

What is ACW?

i think it might be all cosmetics wholesale? though not sure.

That's what it is.

I think so. Just like Black Knight was the only thing offered last year.

Nope, there's Jet lipstick and a matching Jet nail polish!!!!

Oh, didn't know there's a polish too! That's neat. I'm only getting the lipstick.

As much as I hate buying from Mac online, I am definitely getting both - I love the matching lipstick and nails look

I've gotten into the matching lips and nails look, too. But I don't care for the formula of all the MAC polishes I've swatched so far. I hope to find a similar color in another brand.

By the way, liba, are you feeling better?

Thanks for asking, CC. Every day is different - the health stuff is definitely a lot better, the rest is pretty up and down, which I guess is to be expected. There's still makeup, at least!

 

[aradhana]

i didn't realize there was a polish too...
i will probably give it a miss....too many thing to want...
though on the topic of formula - i usually find a nice shiny clear coat over my mac polishes does the trick!

Glad your health is getting better. That's really good to hear. Makeup is always a great distraction for everything else.

So now they appear to be called "Grey Friday". Description sounds similar, but I guess that means that all bets are off in terms of how close it is to the original Jet.

I love the color, but the MAC nail polish is so sketchy, it has to be unique for me to put up with the crummy formula.

 

[kimibos]

boooooh mac i wanted jet.... but

Yes! I don't buy MAC nail polishes because of the price. The only way that I can get myself to do that is it has to be a unique shade.
