MAC - Sugar Sweet Discussion

[NeonKitty]

AudreyN, your cats are gorgeous!

I have three, Moe who is a 12 yo blue (grouchy old man but total mama's boy); Chewie who is a Brown tabby with a white belly (the one who thinks he's still a baby kitten, he's 2, and he's also the one who plays fetch). Jasper is a cross-eyed fuzzball pointed member of the siamese family, but he is not long haired enough to be Himalayan nor short haired and sharp featured enough to be Siamese. I call him Grizzly because he looks like a bear, and when he first came to us he attacked the other two and spent three days hiding under the basement stairs growling non stop. They all get along wonderfully now.

3 boys, all mental cases, and all rescues.

This l/s just seems pointless overall to me though.

I love bubbles under sheer lipglosses and some lipsticks like sweet thing. I don't really like applying it on top though as it gets dirty.
I was browsing mac lipsticks today and I found a bubbles look-a-like tanarama. It has a golden tint unlike bubbles, but it was so creamy and pretty, and comes in my favourite frost finish. I kinda wish I got it instead of bubbles, but now I know theres a better dupe out there that I'll get when I run out of bubbles.

So I finally gave in and (yes again but returned dear cupcake) Perfect Topping and posted swatches in the swatch forum. Im really liking it! Its so pretty with all that purple and it makes a sweet highlight as well as blush!

I am sorry Susanne, Jeanette, and all of the other Germany people that Sugarsweet has not arrived yet. I hope that you get it soon!!

Audrey I love that picture of your kitties!!

They are so adorable!

When i put it on my eyes its just not smooth, I have been packing it on with the 249 and its like making the skin look scaly? Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?

I use painterely p/p, then butternutty s/s and then use my finger to apply sugarshot.

GlamYOURus, your PT is gorgeous.

However, I have decided to pass PT because I have many friends and colleagues who have birthdays in April and I need the money for their presents.

Hey guys,

I bought my first ever shade stick last night (lemon chiffon) and i gotta say im not that impressed =( it goes on a bit chunky and just seems to slide into the crease of my eye....

On the other hand i am loving Perfect Topping MSF!!! =)

 

[wizzer3245]

My sugarsweet haul arrived today
I ripped open the box for one reason ... Peppermint Patti and i can safely say i love it

 

[Kayraphat]

I ordered Lollipop Loving and Simply Dessert just to use them together. So cute!!!

Thanks Ernie, I am going to try this!

Finally bought my sugar sweet msfs today

I chose my perfect topping with the least lavendar undertones (Yes i know most people would do the opposite..but i want my perfect topping to have less muavish undertones) and chose my refined msf with the most peach tones in it

here'are my pics

 

[CantAffordMAC]

I meant to comment on St Germain...its very pastel on me, which probably looks weird cuz I am tan, but I think its a good weird. I like it a lot

Lets see......

Oh my MA told me that he didnt really like shadesticks and that the new ones seemed to be pretty much the same. But I only have one and thats Beige Ing and I dont like it....Im gonna go tomorrow and ask him to do my eyes with some of the shadesticks, because if they dont make my eyes look all crepey and unblended and clumpy and disgusting then Ill get them.

And now I want Perfect Topping

Wow, you chose perfect MSF's!! I'm thinking now that I don't want a lot of lavender....but just a nice variety of all the colors. Your PT would be perfect for me! I don't want a PT that has barely any lavender though. But not a ton either. KWIM? LOVE your Refined too!! Like that combo a lot of peach in it!! Beautiful!!

Enjoy!!

Ok, after seeing geeko's beautiful MSF pics...

I'm thinking.....

Besides getting PT, Do I need "Refined" also???????? (Btw, I have Light Flush).

I know there's 6 MSFs coming out in July...but I notice a lot of them have bronze in them. Which isn't my fave thing. I may get 1 w/o the bronze. Lovin' the color combo of the Refined being I love peach, tan, etc.

I'm NC25....anyone out there with my skintone own Refined? How r u using it...? All over highlighter/face color? Can u wear it as a blush also?

Thx!!!

I'm Asian and an NC 25. I like natural glow looks and I really like Refined better because it can be used as a highlighter, bronzer, and blush because my MSF has different areas that are concentrated with a certain color... I have one with a large coral area, another area with more bronze, and the last area with light champagne area.

My PT does not have as much lavender like the other ones the other ladies have, so all I use it for is a cooler highlighter and very like pink/lavender blush that honestly hardly shows up. I haven't used it wet to know if that will give you better results. Hopes this helps you!

Ya, I love that glowy look also. I'm thinking I have to get Refined cuz I think it'll give a nice peachy glow, and add some color all over. Light champagne...oooo, sounds perfect! Ya, definitely think I need to get Refined now....UT OH! LOL!

PT....Ya, I want to use it as a highlighter and to wear along with my pink blushes. Possibly try as a blush and wet too! We'll see what I can do with it.

Thanks so much!! Definitely helped!!

Ohhh....One other quick ?...

Is it worth owning both? They're both so beautiful!!!!

I mean....Once applied do they show up on the skin differently? Being PT & Refined both have some peach in them?

Or do u see a definite difference in both MSFs?

Thx!!
