MAC - Style Black Discussion

[maddiesmom]

I wonder how close the gold one is (when foiled) to Cocomotion pigment? Does anyone know?

(trying to decrease my wish list a bit!

)

 

[gigglegirl]

maddiesmom--when I saw the swatch of them foiled several weeks ago, I so thought the same thing, and for me, its good enough, I need to stop buying where I can!

wud neone kno what the differences are between the greasepaint sticks in this collection and the Dsquared one (apart from the colours f course)?

 

[shontay07108]

I was debating on the greasepaint sticks, but now I've decided on skipping them. All I want are the lippies. I cannot wait for the glimmerglass and the cremesheen lipstick.

There is no difference in formula or texture!

Gotta find all the ugly lipsticks in my collection and b2m them for those pretty MES hahahaha

the shadesticks can crease if worn on their own, and i prefer them for bases only. the greasepaint sticks, on the other hand, can be worn alone. and can i just say, these MES layered over black opal=

Thanks a lot Erine, you are just too

. I can't wait for tomorrow

. What about The purple MES and Fuchsia Glitter over PTE pigment?

 

[sapnap]

Thanks!!! Now i want all of them

 

[enigmatic]

Ahhhh! Those swatches actually make me want an MES now! I'm on a budget so I might possibly get a MES instead of the VAE.

I think that is a smart move (because I'm doing the same

), but seriously MES will last us longer. and I can't handle Limited Skin Care Products!! what if I love it, and use all the product? what then

I have good news about this collection... I was at Nordstrom yesterday & was told this collection will be available at all Nordstroms 1 week early (which would make me think that online will have it a week early as well.) I would still just suggest that call your local Nords to be sure before going down, just to be sure
Thanks for the new swatches Erin

Not to forget when I buy a product every couple of months its financially doable, but buying a great quantity at once will be straining, that if my store will have it all in the first place!!

To me it's just not practical any way I look at it.

As long as they release it once I year I am ok with it. But the last time I was talking to an MA she mentioned, that the VAE will not so soon reappear again.
I totally agree with you, but on the other hand the product works very well with my skin, so backups it is and keeping my fingers crossed the VAE becomes perm.

 

[LMD84]

they should make ve perm because it seems so popular. it sucks when there are limited edition skin care products! sometimes i don't have money to buy lots in one go to stock up!

I do love the metal pigments, but they're so finely milled that if you're not careful, it will fly everywhere and you will come out of the room looking like a Solid Gold Dancer.

Style Black Checklist:

- Still getting all 4 mes, probably 2 of each!
- Stocking up on VAE and really interested in trying the VATM.
- All of the glosses and the 2 mattene's, probably passing the Cremesheen.
- Baby Goth Girl NL is a must have for me.
- So in love with the Greasepaint Stick, must get 2!

I can't wait!!

 

[Face2Mac]

Greasepaint!!Greasepaint!!!

Mostly Everything. Thanks Guys.

 

[BaDKiTTy69]
