Yeah, I'm gonna be screwed by the 9th cos we would have signed the bank papers for the new house by then... no more MAC for me from the onwards!

Yeah, I reckon it has something to do with being the 1st one too... not a fan of the DJ's one.

I'm usually somewhere around the lippy stand

Eek! Yeah, sometimes I cringe at living with in-laws, but then it is totally worth it that I get to splurge on MAC.

Yeah, bring on Dame Edna lippies!! Have you guys checked out the Dame Edna looks? They look so pretty..

 

[billy_cakes]

ouch! I put money away in to a special account so I can only spend so much on make up, So i have to save up the money in there if theres a collection coming out. I'm kinda lucky though because im a hairdresser so I never have to pay to have my hair done, products, shampoo and stuff like that which im sure if a big part of most womens beauty budget

Congrats on the house though!

I just had a look when you said that, I always forget to check them out.
So pretty though. Its nice to see that they ahve a mix of bright ones with some softer ones. When I heard that there was going to be a Dame Edna collection i was a bit scared we all might be look a bit like a trannie in the 80's

I'm so unsure about the eyeshadow trios though. I think they are going to have to be one of those things that just jumps out at you when you see them in real life

Thanks

Yeah, I will probably have an "allowance" in a seperate account which I can spend on whatever I want.

^^ MrsMay, lucky you have collected enough pigments, so you don't need to buy anymore

Yeah, I am not sure about the eye palettes either, but if I don't get them, I will regret later and end up paying double the price on ebay lol

I keep forgetting about this thread and having to read up like 3 pages haha.

sambi! That sounds sooooo awesome, post pictures!!

Lol @ all you geeks. The geekiest I get is dating geeky guys haha!

Also, MrsMay, to get back to the Inglot gel eyeliner discussion, I've bought the teal one and the red one and I tried the teal one and it didn't feel opaque enough for me? I guess I'll have to try it again. I got the red one to use as a base instead of something like flammable paint but then I bought flammable as well and I havent actually tried either of them yet haha.

Also, I'm wearing no make up today

Sitting in my pjs on the couch watching Scrubs!

 

[sambibabe]

Wow.. sounds preeeeeetty!! Love the Arabian look

 

[sambibabe]

Hey simplyenchantin!!! Thanks!
I might go to Chadstone and check out Ingot

I am trying to stay away from MAC, so I go to Ingot instead lol

You should subscribe

I'm thinking that to use the teal liner I will have a semi neutral eye with a teal colour in the crease... (maybe parrot?) then have the teal liner applied a bit thicker and a tiny bit of the black liner on top, probably tightlined... Hmmm, I might try that sometime this week actually!

Sambibabe... you will get addicted to their pigments! They have the bright colours like the facefront pigments!

 

[simplyenchantin]

Thanks for ideas MrsMay, I'll try something with parrot! I LOVE their pigments, I got a few more on boxing day, $20 a pop which is wayyyyyy less than the MAC ones and they seem just as pigmented to me! I think there might be less in the container though.

I particularly love how they look totally different swatched than in the container..

Oh and sambi! I do that now too.. go to Inglot to avoid MAC lol!! The girls there are way nicer, it's like a happy family and they all know me there now hehe.

 

[sambibabe]

I didn't get to go anywhere today, thanks to hubby. He better not come near me, unless he has MAC things to offer. I went and picked up my Soy candle though

I still don't have Parrot & Plumage e/s.. Do I need them?

What's Ingot pigment like? Do they have pigments with multi-tone colours like MAC Steel Blue, Sweet Sienna, etc?

 

[MrsMay]

Sambibabe - to be honest I have had parrot for a while now and I only used it for the first time last week! I did like it though, it was very pigmented.

Re the Inglot pigments - most of their pigments are multi-tone or duochrome... same for a heap of their eyeshadows. I actually had quite a haul in the past 3 days... both from inglot and mac!

From inglot I got 7 eyeshadows... one of which was a creamy highlight colour which had a greeny yellow duochrome - kinda like the duochrome that old gold pigment has? I also picked up two of their gel eyeliners (dark purple and brown) a new eyeliner brush (the bent one), more skin primer, and samples of: three pigments, two gel eyeliner colours. I was impressed that I managed to get all of that for $150!

From MAC I got: So Ceylon MSF, Soft & Gentle MSF, Copperbeam pigment, Mega-Rich pigment, Pearlglide eyeliners in Bankroll, Molasses and Black Russian. To be fair - I did have this stuff on layby for the last two months

I think I should be done hauling for a little bit

Good thing I have a traincase on its way to me (courtesy of ebay) so I can find a home for all this stuff

I am really keen to try one of the inglot pigment samples though - it's almost like a darker version of Copper Sparkle pigment... little bit rustier though?

 

[sambibabe]

^^^ , wow, when did you go to MAC? I was wondering how long you could hold on to your Christmas presents/vouchers.. I spent mine the next day!

Hmm..I will have to check out Parrot and Plumage.. I haven't been paying much attention to eyeshadows lately..

Yay, you got Soft & Gentle! Isn't So Ceylon dark on you? I only use it for contouring.. Another Yay for Bankroll, too.. can you do layby at MAC?

 

[MrsMay]

lol... I went to MAC at lunchtime today

You probably wont be able to find Parrot in stores, best bet is the clearance bin.

So Ceylon is a little dark but I will probably use it as a blush. I dont have any blushes that are remotely close to that colour so it will work well.

Because I shop at Myer I can do layby (2 months). That will be a godsend when BBR launches!

Speaking of which, I tried to get the launch date out of the MA (not my usual one) for BBR and she looked in the book and said "8th January". Um, no, that is the launch date for the US honey (It said "Collection dates for North America" on the top of the page). She then said "oh, it must be the same date for both then". Um, no, not unless it's the first time ever! I siad to her that it's usually 2-4 weeks after the US launch, so she said, well, we will go with February then. FAIL.
