don't worry about it too much sami! i don't know anyone with a ticket either. the day i found out these sales happen in toronto and the date of the next one, i started to hunt down tickets. a lott ppl have them up on craiglist and kijiji for $20-even 40! i got in touch with a really nice girl who gave me two for 30 and came all the way down to my town so i got really lucky!! ur just gonna have to give the ppl free money to put in their pockets if you really want to go lol

and i will do so FOR SURE cuz i LOVEDD it!

Zerin i LOVE cashfloww!! i didn't get the big deal with paintpots until i bought this one!

 

[starryskies]

oh my goodness.. i literally had MAC dancing in my head all day long! even now i am dreaming MAC and all the things i want to buy...

 

[starryskies]

any recommendations on which paint pot is best for NC40/NC42 ?

 

[zerin]

You should check out Soft Ochre (matte finish) paintpot or Rubenesque (sheer/shimmery golden peach finish) paintpot.

 

[starryskies]

thanx zerin! love your blog btw

 

[zerin]

Thnx Starryskies!

Even though I don't update that often...

 

[DirtyPlum]

Style warrior must haves are Brave New Bronze lipstick and Gold Rebel lipglass. Thats it.

Best paint pot for an NC42 is Groundwork.

I'm sure you have similar blush shades like on the Mission blush right? lol ok so now I'll tell help you out with your list. Nunu's Original List! Purple rite < You should totally get this...I'm sure you don't have something like this already. It's a frost so it's different. Brave new bronze lipstick < You might have similar peachy nude colours if not get this. Gold Rebel Lipglass < Again, this looks gorgeous on top of peachy nudes...totally warms up those lips. Totally recommend! Fierce & Fabulos Lipglass < I would pass on this...I have enough pink shimmery glosses lol (dazzleglasses) Vibrant Grape and Tempting es < You can easily get these from the pro/perm line in pan form. You can buy it if your store carries pan shadows or just swap for them. Again...I would rather get tempting e/s over vibrant grape. On a mission BPB < I'm not too crazy for this blush since I do have berryish blushes. I don't even like Mac normal blushes that much either...lol I'm trying to stop since I have 2 mac blush palettes full and I don't have plans on buying anymore unless they are MINERALIZE...I love those! *drool* ok so nunu....don't bother with this blush and save up for colour craft blushes! So totally skip this one. Mercenary nail polish < This is a gorgeous colour but then again Mac nailpolishes are pricey. Maybe there's cheaper dupes....but if you want it badly, go for it! lol Sun rush lustre drops < You should totally pass on this! lol MSFs are way better!

Thank you

Youre so sweet! I would love to be a shopping buddy - imagine that as an occupation!
I have contemplated a blog but not sure I'd feel comfortable posting pics... but we'll see...
Today, Plum is wearing French Cuff es with deep truth in the crease and shroom to highlight. Im wearing Cantaloupe blush and BNB lipstick with Spice lipliner.


Groundwork would be great for NC40 too but Painterly would also work if you find GW too brown. SOft Ochre was LE but also good.

 

[zerin]

DP, I was wondering if the rumours about paintpots and paints being discontinued are actually true?

WOW! I had no idea...Were soft ochre pp LE in the UK? It's perm in Canada/US for now that is...

Also, do you have any insider news for us about the Colour Craft or Fall collections?

lol
If you do know this....
I was wondering about the new marble lipglosses from the CC collection....will those be very sheer?... like sugarsweet tri-colour ones?

I hope not.

I dont think they will discontinue the PPs - maybe the paints. A LOT of people ask for cream eyeshadows and eyeshadow bases. But I havent heard anything official.

Oh cool... its perm for you there. I picked mine up with the N Collection - i find it a little pale sometimes but it will do!

No idea about the Fall collections. Next update will be in July and thats where I'll get to see CC properly but tbh I think there will be a lot of typical anniversary collections out like the Starflash es's and pearlglide liners. I'm keen to know what the CoC major collection will be for this year

US/Canada hear all the news before us though, so i wont know anything new but can make sure I check out particular products if you want me to...

The CC tri-color glasses will be the same as the previous ones.... yep - theyre gonna be a drag to sell!!!

 

[highonmac]

What did you ladies end up ordering for the SUMO Sale? And BTW guys I need your opinion. I am doing someones makeup on Saturday for a wedding in which she will be attending and preforming in (classical dance) She is wearing a soft green sari and she wants some attention to her eyes. What do you suggest?

 

[zerin]

I tried hard not to order too much from the sale. I need to save up for ColourCraft! lol I got an eyeshadow 15 palette, queen bee lipglass, taupe lipstick (for mom) and a few eyeshadows: jest, print, bronze, and naked lunch.

What did you get?

I suggest maybe a gold look.

 

[highonmac]

I ordered, naked pigment, blanc type e/s, 316, 190, 252, 249 and the 138! A gold look huh? Any specific colours?

 

[zerin]

You can try eyeshadows or pigments on the lid. Goldmine e/s, goldmode pigment...a bronzy colour in the crease then you can darken the crease with sketch. You can even put a greenish shade to the bottom lashlines for the eyes to pop. =) Also, make sure she wears lashes too.

 

[Ziya]

Hey highonmac! Naked is on my list too! I've had a sample forever and I lovvee it! In terms of recc's...wow, you've got me stumped lol I'd go with Zerin's suggestion or maybe try one of her latest fotd's with naked, nocturnelle and sketch? I think purple is opposite green on the color wheel, so soft plums would maybe look nice...and lashes are a MUST especially if she's performing..I really love Mac #7's.
From the Sumo sale I got a blush palette, trace gold, margin, sweet as cocoa, fleur power, sunbasque, she's a star, queen bee, pink poodle, pink lemonade, lychee luxe and the 224
I worry that some of those blushes might not show up on me? and maybe the 222 might have been a better option. I probably will be picking up the 226 when its next released....

 

[Ziya]

Oh Ms DP if you had a dp is wearing....today that would be so awesome! I would def love that! Though it would be awesome to have more pictures of your beautiful self, we'd be ok with whatever goodies you give us lool
so ladies, I haven't done any proper FOTD's yet...coz my camera doesn't pick up the detail very well andt he pictures come out looking sloppy. Sadly, some of my rare ziya-is-proud-of-this moments have been lost..but I will try to post A picture on here..

That would be me with my new Eversun BP, Mac Select in NC 43, MUFE concealer in #8, Vasanti wonders of the world concealor in O2, Fluidline in Blacktrack (..and we can't see the rest of the eyes lol) and Rimmel eyebrow pencil in Hazel

Btw ladies, how do I embed photos?

TIA
