Things are back to normal

Those swatches are great! Can you compare the pale pink one to Snob? or the dark pink one to Girl About Town? I don't mean more swatches, I mean can you comment on how similar they are to those existing shadeS? I just bought Snob and now I'm wondering if I still need the pale pink one.

Can someone explain beauty powders to me? What do they do?

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

Video was unimpressive--they show the Ebay auction pictures and the description is exactly what we have here in the Color Description Thread

Looks like an exact cut and paste from Specktra (unless thats how its written in the MAC employee copy or something *shrug* I don't know how its conveyed to the employees)

unimpressive or not, i think it´s cool.

I don't think people who buy Creme de la Mer or La Prairie items are idiots, just because I think they are ridiculously priced. Nor would I think you were an idiot if you bought something that I necessarily find ugly or expensive. It's all about taste, wealth and what we are willing to pay for certain said items. Listen, there is a lot of shit in this world to bring you down and if you buy a senseless object for $80.00 that will make you happy - more power to you!

I wasn't trying to offend anyone by what i said. I didn't even realize how it may have sounded. I am just a really broke person. You're right...people spend a lot of money on other things that make them happy. That was just my initial reaction...$80 is pretty expensive for one lipstick. Makeup is like the only thing I buy and am into...so I understand. Sorry

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

I would like:
Lollipop Loving l/s
Fleshpot l/s
Sock hop l/g
Bonus Beat l/g
(I'm not buying any more nudes until 2009! lol)

One or two of the pencils (I like them all I just have to see in person) I agree with whoever said that they should.....repackage...they don't look very nice with the white and black at all.

And I like both eye trios. So I'll have to see which one works for me. exciting!

I don't have Snob, but I do know that Melrose Mood would have a creamier texture with a bit of shine being that it's Amplified Creme. Snob is a satin finish, so it's more of a semi-matte texture. I will head to the Mac store this wk and compare the colors and see if I could possibly sneak in some swatches. Lol, I'll try to find out about Girl about Town and compare it with Hollywood Nights as well.

*Note: I was trying the lippies on me last night and took some pics. Sorry if some of them turned out a tad blurry, but they're in the swatch thread

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

Here's my want list:
-Melsore Mood l/s
-Lollipop Loving l/s (maybe)
-Starlet Kiss l/g
-Sock Hop l/g
-Eye Trio 1
-Eye Trio 2
-Alpha Girl b/p
-Smooth Harmony b/p (maybe)


Anyone know if you could use your pro discount (ppid) on the trios? I know you can't use it on pre made palettes but I'm hoping we can on these. *crossing fingers*

That's what I said about Fafi and then bought lots. I have to see these things in person to know for sure.

D: Yeah, being NC totally wrecks pastel pinks for me, especially one that is that flat of a color, if you know what I mean? Yeah, I usually use warmer pinks, hot pinks, corals, and beige colors, it just fits the warm coloring better. =)

GAH!! I wish I could help you on that! I usually wear ANY color eyeshadow (except yellow, I have a weird hatred of that color 90% of the time!) so for me, it just comes down to which do I like more, or which do I have less of and need more? I haven't gotten my Fafi Eyes 1 yet; it's in transit (thanks blueangel1023!...Again!), but that one seems suited to warmed tones. As far as both of the trios go, I think I'm leaning more towards Trio 1 because I have very few light greens and only one black and maybe one peach shadow. Whereas I have ten purple. But based on you FOTDs that I've seen, I would hold off on Fafi for Heatherette. If nothing else, the packaging is way cuter!!

Thanks for the advice and considering the FOTDs I've done to make a decision! XD That makes me happy for some reason. x3 I have too many greens and blacks, so maybe I should hold off on Trio 1 at least. In anycase, if Trio 2 for Heatherette doesn't seem as complete as Fafi 1, then I could at least pull in Vanilla eyeshadow and Pink Venus eyeshadow, so it'd be somewhat a cross of Fafi 1 and Heatherette 2.

I just don't have many pinks, so it'd be nice to get a quad that can fill in that hole in my colors. x3

Thanks again. =)

Oops, and I just realized that in the first line, I said Heatherette 1, when I really was talking about the 2nd trio with the pink and purple in it, which is what I kept mentioning in the rest of my comment. Ahahaha, mistake.

i don't think i can wait another month.

fleshpot l/s in a pink tube...SSSEEEXXX.

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

After seeing the swatches, i have completely changed my mind! I still want melrose mood, and bonus beat to wear over it, i think the 2 will look great together! And now i'm thinking trio #1!!!

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

Looking at the swatch, would anyone call Alpha Girl a NARS Orgasm dupe? I was going to buy Orgasm, but now I wonder if I should wait for Heatherette to come out ...

Alpha girl is slightly pinker than NARS Orgasm and has less shimmer. Orgasm blush is more of a peachy toned w/gold. I would say the closest to nars orgasm from MAC would be springsheen or peachtwist blush. or if you want to go a less expensive route Milani Luminous blush works just as well for only $4 at any drugstore (but it's DC) you might be lucky and find it in some stores. I believe Sassed up from Fafi is similar to NARS orgasm, but less pigmented. Although iridescent powders are quite similar to msf's as highlighters.

Ack! I hope you get your quad soon. The dreadful weather made me hibernate at home so I didn't send off til the weekend. lol, but u should get it within a day or 2...I mean, c'mon u live in NY!

Btw, I was bored and decided to do a FOTD for the heatherette 1 + 2 trios. It's on the swatch thread. Sorry for the crappy eye application on the 1st trio. As it took me 20 mins to do the fotd for trio #2 first, I just got lazy and did the 1st trio in less than 10 mins. lol, but i just wanted ppl to get a general idea on how the colors looked together on the lids. I didn't put blush or much foundation on...boy do I look pastey and uneven toned! lol

Wow, I loooove how the trios look on you. These colors did not excite me at all, but they look fantastically blended and just gorgeous. I wish I could pull these off in the morning, but I'm usually only half awake

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

For some reason, nothing appeals to me with the exception of the two beauty powders!

blueangel1023: Do you think Smooth Harmony can be used as a bronzer? Is it matte?
