Yeah well, she gets paid by it, but she should not blame you.
And this smoke thing is not nice
So, which look did you get, spill the beans already

I said to the MUA that she could do whatever she wanted, since it have a cat eye with a strong eyeliner, because that's something that I'm not used to (and she was wearing a strong eyeliner), and nude lips. She ended up doing the Evil Queen look (with Vile Violet, HAI and the cream one from Cruella). She made a purple smokey eye, and not a cat eye like I asked for (and honestly, I prefer my smokey eye, I don't like when the strong colour is almost in the eyebrows
).
But the skin was worst, kinda cakey. I asked to try the PLW and holly cow, that accentuates a lot my pores
. She used Strobe, PLW foundation, concealer and loose powder to set. I choose the foundation, my bad. Maybe with Pre+prime it would look better. I completely forgot to ask her to apply the MCP. She used the Cruella BP to contour, and my forehead was kinda brown
In the end, it was nice to take a funny picture (I put on my profile page), but I don't intend to repeat the experience. I thanked her, said that I'd liked and let it go. There is no need to be nasty about this. I can do my own makeup everyday
I was a little embarassed about the gift card situation, but they should have been clear about this when I bought it or when I spent it. Afterall, I'd already paid for the gift card, the products would be "free", right?
Anyone else had a makeover?

You know, ladies, you are sooo tmpting! I finally went back and got Earthly Harmony as well/ I'm now wearing it.

Oh, I LOOVE this one. It is one of few shades which shows on my very pigmented lips.

I would say: you had very appropriate outfit. Very classy. I liked that.

I'm glad for you that you managed to get it and liked it.
I changed my mind and returned for French Quarter on Monday, but of course, it was long time gone. I'll wait till the next time they release some dark GPS in some other LE collection.

This is exactly what I had fears for!
s_lost, thank you for sharing with us your makeover experiens.
I'm so happy that at our local counter (in Osnabrueck) MUAs do makeovers for free without gift cards and appointments in relatively peaceful manner. I used to live in FfM (and still visit it on weekends) and buy MAC there. And it was as crazy there in the release days of LE collections as you describe situation in Berlin. It was even worse for my taste since MUAs in Frankfurt do not put stickers "Sold Out" for sold out goods and just replace LE products on display with some permanent collection very similar products. It happend to me 2 times to buy not LE products.

I do PhD in Germany, so I also shop for MAC (and other gooddies) in Germnay
But originally I'm Russian.

So my last two boxes arrived today, my haul all together:
Toxic Tale l/s
Truth&Light MCLP
BoA
Bad Fairy n/p
Mean&Green n/p
and Gaga l/g
Unfortunately Formidable n/p wasn't in the box
Even though I ordered it on Friday on the MAC site and it wasn't sold out until Monday... That's the 3rd time I ordered limited items from the MAC site and the 3rd time I didn't receive them. I'm starting to get a little annoyed with MAC and their collections when it comes to ordering online. But I'm happy I got all my other stuff
Allthough Formidable and also Briar Rose would've been nice, too. But I need to save money anyway. I love Gaga l/g btw.

Silvia, my makeover was also very cakey, w/ lots of PLW foundation and tons of MSF... Not so hot either.
And to be honest, the strong colour up to the eyebrows give you a very Denver-like look. Or more like Robert Palmer?
Sorry it did not go as well. And the MA should be professional enough not to change her attitude so much when you are not buying from her. She thought she lost a lot of sales because of you. And I am pretty sure everything is sold out by know?!
I tried to get some VV stuff yesterday in the UK, but the MA guy did not want to give me anything. Well, his loss.
I wanted BooA, but then I am sure I can live w/o it.
Melissa, not marking sold out products is unfair, get your hopes up unnecessarily.

Well, he first told me he is not allowed to give it to me and then he told me that all is still in the boxes and that he cannot be bothered to get it out.
His loss. He was digging through the box for another lady and I tried to give him the evil eye, although I am afraid I need more training for that

j/k, if you happen to pass by, I would not say no to this offer
Thanks

Not anymore, I overheard the MUA said they sold out of BoaA in KaDeWe. But there's plenty other MAC store here, and I suspect the one at Douglass Kudamm might still have one.
Now on to my makeover today...
It was nice. The MUA didn't speak English very well, and I didn't speak German very well so there are some things that is lost in translation
... it's all in good fun though, and I love what she did.
For the eyes:
- Sweet Joy e/s as brow highlighter, inner eye, and all over base wash
- Kid e/s for the lid
- Carbon e/s for the outer crease, applied lightly with 217
- Penultimate eyeliner.
- Zoomfastblack lash
I like how it all looks except for the penultimate liner. It's shifted as soon as I'm out of the store
.
Cheek:
- Darkly My Dear Blush. It's really very pretty on. I don't know if the picture justifies it, because it looks even prettier in person! I already have Notable blush though, which looks very similar so I didn't get it.
Lips:
- Hover lip pencil
- Pet Me Please lipstick from the Fabulous Feline collection
I love the combination she put on the lips, so I just 'have' to get these two
Face:
- Studio Fix Fluid in NC42 for my foundation. I like the color match but I didn't get it because MAC Foundations tends to give me breakouts.
- Pro Longwear Concealer in NC42
- Blot Powder in Dark
Let me know your opinions

The lady that made him go through all the boxes was really pushy, so I guess I can live with not getting anything if it would require me to be like that.
Quote:
You look great and I love how she made your cheeks look and the combo on your lips.
Great to hear you had fun though.
And thanks about the BooA.
And one totally collection-unrelated question, is anyone of you using the Cleanse-Off Oil from MAC?
If you do, do you like it?

You're welcome, I wish I could help you out more on the BoAA, but I'm not sure I have the time to go shopping in the next days.
No, I didn't use Cleanse-Off Oil. I'm still looking for a HG Makeup cleanser ever since they discontinued the Neutrogena one over here

Is it good for removing waterproof mascara?

Me too, specially the wipes
I love the Avene makeup remover for combo skin, but I'm always trying new ones for the eyes.

I use Baby Face when I travel or when my skin is really tired - I remove my makeup and then rub it on my face at night and leave it until morning. When I wake up my skin is really a baby face
