To my Desi/South Asian sisters out there! And everyone else too, actually! :)

Both Gleeful and Merrily is pretty. I prefer Gleeful though..it's my favourite Mac Mineralize Blush!

I think I have 10 Nars blushes now.

I'm taking it slow though in collecting...lol I got the ones I really wanted though.

Lavender Whip will be just fine on your skintone too and you can always tone it down with a pink lipgloss. It's not too light like St. Germain lipstick.

I always get samples from the Mac Pro store on Queens...they seem to be generous. =)

hey,

its a bit off topic but really hoping somebody can help me. i have been plucking my eyebrows in an overly sharp arch for about 5 years now. for the last 6 weeks i had left them to grow to change the shape of my brows, now that im older and wiser!!

but they are just NOT growing back at all

they are so sparse and i have complete bald bits - is there anything i can use/do to get my eyebrows to grow again? because from what it is now all im gona be doing is drawing a shape with pencil as i have no hair anywhere except for the archy shape i did years ago, rest of it isnt growing back the way it should

 

[guddu]

thankyou moonlit & zerin.! i need lavender whip now, onto search..

 

[guddu]

shaista1985, have u tried castor oil treatment. it has helped me grow out my brows& lashes to some extent

 

[zerin]

Guddu is right....you should try caster oil treatment. I heard it works well!

Geez, I really cannot remember. I am going to have to double check. Can you do a NARS collection on your blog

Heheh I request it lol. I really need to update y blog but I am way to lazy. I think I will start making it bit nicer and update it so it corresponds with my videos. That would be smart right?

Shaista - yup try castor oil, I heard it works to. Constant plucking in certain areas does prevent hair from growing back

Hi guys, I received my package today very quickly from mac. I ordered on wed night and recieved it today. Just a heads up, of summer e/s is a nice sheer pink that more of a sheen. Not sure how it would look on the eyes but its best to avoid it. Rose romance lippie is realllly pretty pink and I really like it. Magnetique lipglass is a MUST HAVE as well as Mutiny piggie.

I will be picking up the quad soon, so I will tell you about that too

 

[guddu]

Of course I can. I just put it on now. I am an NC45 for ref, so if it looks niceon me it would look good on you. THe lipstick is a lustre so it is quite sheer but as you build it up it becomes a very wearable pinkie lavendar colour. Its soft and subtle so its good for everyday. I don't have the best lighting right now, but I will update on how it looks.

Hope this helps. So far i like it. Its not OMG run out and get it type of thing though.

 

[guddu]

Thnx dear,glad u like it.I want to check this when I visit mac

 

[zerin]

I'm eyeing Magnetique lipglass for sure....Is it similar to any Mac lipglasses you have right now?......can't wait til tomorrow!

 

[highonmac]

No it is like nothing I have. I am trying to think but, I am pretty sure mac doesn't have anything dupable to it. Its a really really pretty deep pink with purple and pink sheens, its soooo hot!

 

[shaista1985]

I tried angel lipstick at the mac store the other store and it washed me out too. I too would like to know if this would look better with a lip liner. I really wanted it to work.

 

[DirtyPlum]

Try Dervish, Soar, Pink Treat, or Cedar. Good luck!

is dervish similar to whirl?

 

[DirtyPlum]

^^No, its more pink.

Angel lipstick is amazing. Honest! Just use a lipliner that's close to your skintone....a neutral shade would do ok.

Shaista - Even if you're the same or lighter than me...it should be fine. Maybe, you're not used to it. If you still have the receipt....exchange it for Faux or Brave lipstick or the suggestions DirtyPlum mentioned lol.... it's a pretty nude pink and it's not so light as angel. (I love Faux lipstick better) Try them on in the store.

So yeh...I got my makeup done again at the Mac counter but his time it was SO SHITTY! I hated it. I had bad luck and I ended up with a bad MA. She did it so quick like in 15minutes WTF?...it's suppose to take longer to do a better job with everything...she has worse skills than me....lol She put very little foundation too...the friend I went with ended up with a nice MA and she took like 40minutes on her at least and did an AWESOME JOB. (She did a Hello Kitty Orange look) I was so jealous! lol I did this silverish smokey eyes with Rose Romance's Silverthorn eyeshadow and print and copperplate...it was pretty but it wasn't all that good as how my last makeup at Mac was done. I shouldve asked for the same MA as before....oh well. So I got Silverthorn eyeshadow (unique silver blue shade-veluxe pearl) and Magnetique lipglass and 2 sample pigments (Mutiny & Circa Plum).

DirtyPlum - I'm thinking of getting the new Prep n Prime Powder or should I get the Pro invisible powder instead? I heard the old one may look ashy on darker skintones? and the old one contains more amount of product too....Do these two have the same function?

Hi Ladies,

Can you tell me what is the difference between liplass, dazzleglass, plushglass and lustreglass, aren't they all lip glosses or is it a marketing pitch? Never really been into gloss as I find it sticky and feels funny on the lips but ever since I tried Instant Gold (thanks Ziya) I am liking it alot more.

Thanks!

I been reading the reviews and recommendations regarding Refined MSF and I think I might give it another try at Mac tomorrow? I know some of you are fans so was wondering if I should wait for the other MSF's that are coming out in the summer or get refined. Also are the MSF duo's LE? I'm also going to try albatross. I have been sick all day so been on the computer just checking out makeup!
