MAC - Sonic Chic Discussion

[elegant-one]

Today I wore Dainty all over cheeks, then patted the brush twice into Pleasantry & dabbed it over just the apples of my cheeks very girly pretty

Tender Baby on the lips. Just the silver part if Polar Opposites on the eyes with black liner only on the top lash line & Plushlash mascara at outer corner lashes. LOVE! My new favorite look

i really want to get a couple more of these...i love them and they are so different then what i've seen. I love the slight gold shimmer in them. it adds a bit of a glow which normal blushes dont do.

 

[CantAffordMAC]

I cant believe Im still waiting for these.

LoL

Ummmm my final 3: Love Thing, Merrily, Gentle.

If I happen to have any extra money in August, I might get Pleasantry and Nuance. Might.

just added swatches/comparisons of sonic chic and nars blushes in the swatch forum if anyone's interested :nod:

I hope you get yours soon! I'm thinking of getting Nuance in the future too. Spaced Out is absolutely gorgeous on my cheeks but the pink reflects detracts from the orange-y coral colour I want, which I see in the pan. But we'll see, other customers might make that decision for me and I'll just have to cross my fingers for the re-promote.

I thought it would've been more on the plummy side but compared to Plum Foolery wow its definately in the pink family I also ended up getting Nuance which really surprised me. Definately the underdog. I am around NC35 right now with a tan and this colour looks gorgeous over some bronzer. Just a perfect peach Warm Soul didnt even show up on me Merrily and Love thing were both beautiful but I usually shy away from the darker blushes. Dainty is gorgeous. I think I will have to go back for that. My MA said these are becoming perm in October

Dangit, now you've got Nuance on my mind, lol. How does it compare to Peaches blush tho? Is it more orange? I actually (crazily) hope so!

And what's this news about these becoming perm? Is this with the Mineralize collection? I thought they were coming back but as LE, not perm... !!! But there's so much info I can't keep it all straight.

I wanted spaced out but chose x-rocks instead (omgggg, am i glad I did.) I know that once I get the mineral blushes, all my other blushes will be forgotten (hell, I only have 3 anyways LOL) But X Rocks will never be forgotten. This is THE blush of my life....it will never fall beneath these mineral blushes

Ahem, sorry for that. I had to proclaim my love for it. Everyone needs to have an x rocks blush.

Anywho!

VDUB*BELLA's review is what made me want Nuance as well. Im an NW35...so I guess it should show up as a peach on me as well.

And I wish we knew WHAT was going on with these! If I knew they were gonna be permanent, I'd buy one and save the rest of my money. Damn you, MAC

I loved it! But I am the type of person that will find a dupe for EVERYTHING!
I returned it b/c I needed the money for my meds AND I did happen to find a dupe for it. I previously posted it somewhere in this thread:

Mi Lady MES with Knight Divine gives you the metallic look in Hot Contrast. Of course, each individual one will vary slightly b/c they don't all look the same.

 

[mizuki~]

YAY!! I just bought Dainty & Pleasantry. I want more O_O Any recs guys?

DAYUM!! I was way off on Mounia. It looked so similar to Merrily. Thanks for the swatches, I didn't buy Merrily but was considering it and now I guess I have to get it!! I think your swatches are a great example of how these can look so similar in the pan and so dang different on the skin. Thanks for doing that!

I am wearing Gentle for the first time today, and I ADORE it. It is a VERY close second to Love Thing for me. It is the perfect pink, and I am wearing Hue l/s with Viva Glam VI (the regular one, NOT the SE) over it. That lip combo with Gentle is PERFECT for NW15. I so want more of these, but I can't decide which ones to get next, now that I have some birthday money to spend!

*groan* I KNOW!!! Like it's not enough to be tortured by the upcoming collections! But, we must remember we're lucky to have this info ahead of time, otherwise I'd be buying up more of these now!

I'm still on the fence with X-Rocks but I definitely want to try one if I see it show up in the Clearance Bin. I've heard everyone's raves about it but only see it muddy on me!

But I'll head back to the NSF thread for more on this. =P

Well now I want X-rocks! You have hyped it up so much that now I don't think I can live without it! Do you think it would look good on NW15 skin?

 

[purrtykitty]

Yay for a happy birthday!!

LoL I dont want someone to buy it because of me. But there IS a separate thread just for the love of this blush...

This just isnt like a normal mac blush. I have to use a light hand with this, and Im NW35...i tap it maybe 4 or 5 times into the blush and make sure theres not a lot on the brush, and then sweep it on.....your cheeks look AWESOME in ur avatar, and I dont know what that is....but i think everyone should be able to pull this off...just think of it as a highly pigmented blush (which it is...its almost like a pressed pigment blush IMO...as in, when u put ur brush onto it, u can see the powder lift off...does that make any sense?) So think of it as an extremely concentrated blush and use it accordingly, you should be fine!!

Thank me later.

 

[CantAffordMAC]

And happy birthday Audrey! I meant to say it, because I saw it on myspace. Hope it was great!

 

[Shimmer]

So I've decided that Dainty is probably going to be in my top 5 products of the year. I'm loving it. All of the blushes in this collection are gorgeous.

Ack, don't say that! Scare off any potential sellers, lol! And have me madly searching through the bins to snatch it up before you do!

lol, I love your enthusiasm for it tho, like y'all had for the Dazzleglass (which I've passed on entirely despite being mesmerized by them *ducks*). I think it's the plum-bronze mix that may make it muddy on me but the "shimmery pinkish"

might save it. Well, if by some chance I do see it when I have the cash, I'll pick it up on your triple-thumbs-up rec, lol!!
