MAC Heavenly creature discussion

[Icecaramellatte]

Finally uploaded my MES pics. These were all ordered online. The swatches didn't come out right, so I have to redo them tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be so cloudy and I'll have more sunlight. After playing with Sky some more, I still don't have that "happy I bought it" feeling. I don't think I'm keeping it. Any takers?


Bright Moon



Earthly



Neo Nebula



Magnetic Attraction



Sky

Love your Sky! I got lots of the green gold color which I wanted but I forgot to get the lighter blue too. You have a great mix of colors. I haven't seen a Magnetic Attraction that I didn't like. I think that might be my fave MES from this collection.

I hunted down 3 backups when they were 10% off...... I could quite happily wear it every day on it's own and I never know about Chanel and repromoting things!

Wow you got REALLY nice swirls on all your eye shadows. So pretty!!

 

[Fiberluver]

Cool! I had no idea!

Thanks.

Today from the collection I only wore Ring of Saturn. Even though it has just a lovely sheen, I couldn't resist putting a light dusting of Gold Dusk pigment on the cheek for some extra sparkle. Love the combo. RoS is still my favorite blush out of the four.

I've been wanting to take a pic of all my swirls, but my Magnetic Attraction I ordered from Nordstrom still isn't here. Shipping takes SO long to get the west coast from the online site. Grr. If it's not here by tomorrow, im just going to go picture crazy with the rest of my little planetary collection.

So my first order arrived and I got Star Wonder and Light Year MSF, Cut a Caper l/s, Meteoric l/g and VAE. I ordered off House of Fraser and they still don't have the MES's up at! Hope they put them up soon, planning on getting Neo Nebula, Magnetic Attraction and Bright Moon.

Will post pictures of the MSF's later, pretty happy with the swirls

Your Magnetic Attraction is stunning!

Icecarmaellatte,


I love my mes from Style Black.

SB was my absolute favorite MAC LE of all time.

VV was second.

But SB was the bomb.

I'm tickled they bought back the mes.

That was an interesting move.

Now if they will only bring back the greasepaint stick - I'll bite!

 

[Fiberluver]

Shellcat,

You are too funny!

R U out of WB or using yours sparingly?

At one point I must have B2M 3 or 4 WB's at one time.

That is my sister's fav. msf and she always gives me her empties.

I gave her a Light Over Dark mb about a year & half ago and she has almost finished using it.

I told her I wanted the empty!

Thanks for the swatches Mami!

On my lips Pleasure seeker is a soft peachy colour: not coral but peach. I love it with Celestial Kiss on top, but also on its own. I prefer it over Cut a Caper.

Today I went to the Counter againg for the fourth time to compare my Jade's Fortune with Water.
In the pan they are almost similar, except for the swirl thing, but swatched they look quite different. JF is darker and more of a blue colour, whereas Water is lighter and swatches more green. They will look great together. So I've added Water to my collection... and couldn't resist Bright Moon any longer, so that one was going home with me as well.

I tried Aurora today. It looks like a gross brown on me? Anyone else have Aurora. How is yours?

I really like mine although is shattered in transit. It is a gorgeous fleshy pink with subtle shimmer. I can see using this all the time. A sort of pinker version of Moleskin but with shimmer for me, but I love browns. I am weird that way.

 

[Fiberluver]

martiangurl,

I see your mes shattered in transit.

What a bummer!

Are you going to send it back?

Since it was a CP, and I did not order directly, I don't think I can. But, I will try and get a BU. Not sure if it will re-press.

Was trying to stop myself from going back to the MAC store, but i think i might give in this weekend

I really want to get Galaxy Rose, and Earthshine (the only msf i didn't originally get) is still haunting me lol.
I'm only NC15, but since i've been reading that many pale girls definitely rock this, i might give it a try

 

[katelyn1223]

Today I wore Earthly on my lid with UD Buck and Naked in the crease and Virgin as an inner corner highlight . I'm loving it! And I've been wearing Launch Away! with Light Year a lot lately and it gives me a beautiful peachy glow

 

[Spring]

Liz, I am a NW20 (in the summer) and I like Earthshine so much. Only used it for contouring until now, but it's the perfect contour colour for me. If you have the money, go and get it if you still can!

b.t.w. although I am an NW my skintone isn't cool. I am a Spring type, so I do have yellow undertones.

 

[CartoonChic]

Your Magnetic Attraction is stunning!

Thanks! Magnetic Attraction and Neo Nebula are my two favorites from the MES I got. I also really like Bright Moon and Earthly to my surprise. I wasn't sure those eye shadow colors would appeal to me, but they do. I'm not sure what to do about Sky. I wish it would look brighter like other swatches I've seen in this thread. Maybe it's because mine doesn't have enough of the green gold color.

I'm still debating Universal Appeal, Aurora and Invincible Light. I'm making a final decision this weekend because I want closure with this collection!

Yeah i'm really tempted to try it, and i do have the 184 fan brush so maybe i can make it work ..
It's just such an unique msf IMO, and i'm afraid regretting it later on if i don't buy it
Will definitely pick it up if my store still has it this weekend

 

[Spring]

Cartoon Chic: my Sky also doesn't have much of the green colour, which I regret. I love the special golden sheen I saw in the online swatches, but mine is just a mat blue when applied. Nice, but not special.

Liz, I've used the 138 and it was perfect! So don't be scared of Earthshine. If you use a light hand which you can with the 184 it isn't too dark! After reading all the comments about Earthshine being so dark, I was prepared for the worst and it alsmost looked "light" to me.
