Today I enjoyed my new hobby - making swatches of stuff I already have to talk me out of buying something that could be too similar - and I swatched some pink e/s. When Dear Cupcake is a bit cooler than Sushi Flower does it look like Budding Beauty?

In daylight and on NC15 and the ArtDeco base

I guess I will (want/hope to) join Team Almost-No! But I must admit that - with the new swatches from pursebuzz - more Shadesticks want to sneak on my list!

Damn it man........... I keep calling my local MAC and I keep adding stuff. I added Bubbles and Lollipop Loving. I mean I already own L.L. from Heatherette............ DO I HONESTLY NEED THIS ONE AGAIN? See, this is what I get for giving my other back up to my friend. STUPID STUPID STUPID.


Patty! Be strong, only get what you don't have. Say no to the backups!

Fatass!?! Girl, no way are you a fatass. Girls like us will get upset if you throw that name around so loosely!

I can't wait to pick up my stuff tomorrow!! I spent so much at Nordstrom that they gave me a coupon for a free haircut at the Salon right next to Nordstrom. So I am going to get my hair cut tomorrow.
smiles.gif
Fun day!!


You know its bad when they give away stuff like that for free. That means you should also be entitled to a tent in the store.

You must post pics of the haircut! I am getting my hair trimmed and colored next Friday, the day before my birthday! Woot woot!

Goodness, that means Heatherette was exactly one year ago. I got my hair done the week before my bday last yr, and on that day I picked up all of Heatherette from the MAC store across the street from the salon.

Wow, this was a year ago:

20 lbs lighter, and a few hair shades darker. Yet some things never change. Here I am still on Specktra, chatting with all you lovely ladies, and cheesing up the forums by posting my face all over it.

I miss sparring with my Rbella here. Remember the avatar pic scandal?

So she says..'thats been out for about a year now' ...doh, I already have both!

She laughed & I was crackin up. I said thats what you get when you're a macaholic & you don't even know what you have anymore. She was laughing her butt off at me.

That's the Elegant I know and love! (btw, I have done that a few times, at the counter!!! Staring at a swatch on my hand thinking, why does this one look really familiar?!)

Bubbles is a cute color...... I think..... I mean I think it would look cute if I put it in the middle of my lips.. Maybe it'll give that magical look to my lips. Hell I don't know...


Patty, unless you use LL consistently on a weekly basis, don't bother with a back-up. As for Bubbles, try it over a liner, i bet it'll look pretty over Cream O' Spice.

Try it over spice or cream o' spice. It shows up and looks really pretty!

But I'll probably get there and swatch the msf's and the lipsticks and end up spending 50 bucks.

Hahaha! That's what I do! If I really don't want to overspend, I send DH to pick up my items!

I do the same thing at home when I need a quick break away from the kids! (Actually, nope, if i forget to lock the door, they're in there...)

you girls are so lucky to be getting it this coming Thursday! i have to wait till mid april to get this collection as my country is a bit slow (sigh). i hope that one kind soul will be able to swatch me Seasonal Peach nail lacquer as i have been looking for such nail lacquer shade but am worried that it will look really sheer when applied on.

Im just so sad. MAC hasnt WOWed me on anything since....... well seince the sculpt foundation. besides that nothing else has made me be super duper excited. I guess i didnt want to be left out and so i ordered aqusvert from this collection, 3 more hello kittly lashes( i love them) dark adhesive, a lipstick, gloss, and guess thats it. I wanted to order more from this collect but im just not into lustre e/s.

I should've made a MAC product list from the beginning! I was glad that I could use some self-deprecating humor for the CS lady .

Almost Thursday

Going to grab my items during my lunch break

I was thinking, how long does the shadesticks usually last? I'm thinking of getting a b/u of Lemon Chiffon. (Considering I'll use the shadestick everyday

)

OK... LADIES and GENTS... I have never never ever owned a shadestick!!! I KNOW...
I am blown away by the swatches and I MUST HAVE MUST MUST HAVE!

Here is my tentative list going by swatches...

Lemon Chiffon (I think it looks like it would be a good base for silvers if it's as much of a 'pewter' as described)
Red Velvet (Looks like it would give so much depth to pink eyeshadows!)
Butternutty - Do you guys think Beige-ing would be more all-purpose - would this be more of an impulse I-must-buy-b/c-it's-a-pretty-le-collection purchase? I'm such a newb to shadesticks...
I'm getting Sharkskin too I think... Just because I need it for smokey eyes and I'm buying the others!
smiles.gif


Aquavert
Perfect Topping MSF
I really don't know about Refined.. it's seems SO warm in the swatches I've seen and I'm such a cool toned paley... I will really have to see if for myself.
Just Dessert.. Maybe - They look so sheer!
Lollipop Loving
St. Germain.. Maybe - it looks SO IN YO FACE - so I'll have to see!

Yikes... what I TENTATIVELY want (one more f/l)... comes to $168... THANK GOD FOR the PRO card!
yahoo.gif
LOL
So let me know what you think about what I had picked out, shadestix specially

I bought refined and am totally regretting it, even though I haven't received it yet. I just keep looking at the swatches and wondering what I was thinking? It will look ridiculous on me....

LL, Bub and SG are all 3 must haves in my opinion. Any true MAC lover will own at least 1 of each of these....Just sayin'.
