New pigments??? Do tell!

 

[shontay07108]

I played with the new pigments like Full Force Violet and Magenta Madness. They are gorgeous colors, but I am concerned about how they will apply. When I tried to pat them on my hand they seemed to dull down and turn all weird and dark. I really don't want to be bothered with a return. I think I'm gonna have to skip it until I see someone use it.

The only MUA that's helpful to me is Ashley and she wasnt there. They are regular staple colors like Grape, Neo Orange, Magenta Madness, Antique green (which I just saw in the full size at the CCO) Full Force Violet. But some of those were out before like Antique Green and Grape, correct?

rosemary & thyme? i had it before, i bought this one for my mom in the cute packaging. it really really is a neutral, she likes it because she wears a lot of bronzey goldish eyeshadows but it's not really my thing neither.

yep that is the one! i know it's perm but like you did for your mom i wanted it in the pretty packaging! but yeah i'm not wowed by any means.

and as for the pigment talk - they are pro colours which are now being sold at normal mac stores and counters i believe

the piggies aren't new colours, just nice that we don't have to make pro orders anymore!

 

[bellaboomboom]

yeah, I think Rosemary & Thyme is just ok. I wish I got Float on By - damn! What is wrong with me? My MAC counter has no more, I'll search on line.

I've been checking MAC's site everyday in the hopes that Marine Life will miraculously appear

You never know....

Also been checking All Cosmetics Wholesale.com

at first i was gonna get float on by, but then i bought the turquoise MUFE aqua liner pencil which i felt was very similar so left it. but now i wish that i hadn't bothered with rosemary and thyme either! but hey ho - you live and learn! i like brighter liners which is why the green one just isn't doing it for me. as another poster said - it's kinda a neautral green.

I missed out on it too because I'd bought other things I hadnt planned on PLUS I wanted to see how FOB would last on me. I would like to know if the MUFE Turquoise 7L compares to FOB.

yes i would like to see the comparison too. i doubt the mac one lasts as long as the MUFE liner though. seriously it doesn't fade or smudge all day! i love it more than my UD 24/7 liners!

 

[Flaminbird]

Hopefully someone can swatch for us

. BTW I thought Pollinator was close to Sand & Sun because in the pot them look exactly the same except for the finish. I swatched them last night and Pollinator is lighter by about 1 shade.

 

[BEA2LS]

i also skipped float on by, i do have similiar liners
but rosemary & thyme would have been a total skip for me, too.. If i do neutral liners, i would go for a black one.

 

[shontay07108]

And here is my swatch of 12L

12L, in my opinion, is the closest to Float on By. I can tell you that this pencil is amazing. I have several aqua eyes liners and this is my favorite shade. It's so vibrant and believe me when I say it does not budge. So those of you who missed out on FoB, check out 12L by Mufe.

 

[Flaminbird]

Darn... you can't hotlink photos from her site

. I'm trying to find it there but so far no luck. Thanks Shontay I will try to get to Sephora and check out 12L. I have a lime green Aqua Eyes I need to return. BTW Now every time I see your name I cant get that darn RuPaul song outta my head!

BTW I think MAC goes around swatching stuff from other companies and then changing their colors slightly so we have to buy theirs too LOL!

the neon matte colours need to be patted ontop of a shadestick for them to work correctly. not a paint pot, a shadestick.

yes, the counters are now carrying almost all the colours that stores have always carried, plus a six pro colours. stores will now carry those same six pro colours plus 2 other pro colours.

Aw that's crappy. Go to temptalia.com and type in aqua eyes pencils. That's how I found it.

And if I need a shadestick for the neon pigments then they are a definite skip.

I went to MAC again for the 3rd time! I didn't think I would be coming back again after my first visit.
I had been lemming over Getaway Bronze and Float on By after seeing them on some people out here. I was quite pessimistic that I would get Float on By a few weeks after the launch considering it's sold out on website.
When i came and saw the display, I knew right away they sold out on Float on By because it's not there. They still had GAB though. But I asked away anyway and the MA pulled the drawer and "let's see....*rummaging* AH yes, one more left!"

Ok now my TTB lemming has come to an end!
