Went to see formal black today!
Hi all! I think this very well may be my first post!
I have got a horrible cold and yet managed to drag myself out in the miserable weather and take the 20 minute walk up the street to my Mac store.
Apparently there was a lineup outside of the store this morning. I don't know if I was just overly sniffly and bleh but nothing really instantly bowled me over.
From what I've been reading, the warm and intense palettes seem to be the most popular, but I am just swimming in warm e/s of similar shades so I just don't think I could do the warms, and the intense palette was just too intense for me.
I don't have many MAC shades, and the smokey eye palette was quite nice however some of the more neutral shades almost seemed kind of chalky....I know that none of these are new, but the lighter shades put me off of the palette a bit? But for those of you that have those shades, do they wear nicely? The grey's were really pretty but I don't know if I liked the lighter shades in the set....are they really great staples worth having? You guys are the experts so I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Also, I was really surprised to find myself drawn to the cool palette. Really surprised!! I really liked the sparkly bluey/silvery colors. I don't know why but this was the palette that I was most drawn too.
Didn't pay too much attention to the lip palettes, I also prefer my lipstick in the tube.
Didn't think I would want any of the lip sets but wow is the red lip set ever pretty! Very wearable reds, casanova is just so sheer and lovely. I think I might have to get this one.
So, should I get the smokey and cool eye sets? Are the lighter shades in the smokey set nice enough to buy the whole palette for? Or no not so much?
It's really too bad they didn't do more with the VP formulas other than the intense and warm palette.
