Where did everyone get theirs? (Sorry I'm diverting off topic!!)

hey.... i also started mine on oct '08.....

i'm still not sure whether to get a traincase or not....

Thanks myystiqueen! I think Tilt has more blue in it than Shimmermoss.. Do you have Aquadisiac? Or even with Steamy or Surreal.. If you don't have Gold Dusk, you could use Gorgeous Gold..

My MAC collection basically exploded since October! I have been a fan of MAC, ever since they opened their first store in Myer Melbourne, um, 10 years ago? But I had an affair with other brands like Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, Chanel.. Then I don't remember what got to me.. I started buying EVERYTHING from October! Definitely possessed

How does 100 Strokes compare to Maroon or Heritage Rouge pigments?? I am tempted and I have definitely decided that I want French Cuff (shame on you Sami for making me want this

), so if I get that I will get the 100 Strokes at the same time - MAC shipping is a little steep here for my liking to only purchase one item

What did I do?

Good question about 100 strokes, Maroon & Heritage Rouge pigments.. I think 100 stroke is a bit more on the brown side? I will see if I can put up a swatch of them tonight!

Oopsy.. Yeah, I am old!!
Melbourne Uni was so close to Myer Melboure, I even skipped lectures and went for a MAC makeover lol..
Greens would look stunning on ya skintone!

Sounds pretty Simplyenchantin! I could never think of having Corn and purple shadows together!

 

[simplyenchantin]

Haha yeah I just grabbed the first shadestick.. coz Trax has a golden like glitter/duochrome/whatever, it worked well all over the lid and blended into hepcat!

oh WOWW (again...)

we even go to the same uni... well.. the difference is you've graduated from it and i'm just about to go in.... it'll start on the 3rd...

skipping lectures and going for a makeover instead??? what were you thinking??

oh well.... i gotta do it sometimes if i come to think about it...

 

[sambibabe]

That's very creative Simplyenchantin! My mind only works for the gold base = gold shadows lol..

myystiqueen, skipping lectures were okay for me, because I could borrow the lecture notes from friends (don't do what I say or do lol), but you can't skip tutes or pracs.. Good luck with Melb Uni! You need it lol..

 

[simplyenchantin]

I'm not creative at all.. Most of my experimenting is more like a royal f*** up haha. I generally think along your lines too, which is why I buy soooo many eyeshadow bases and don't use half of them! If I had less I'd probably be more creative with combinations

And yeah myystiqueen, good like with Melb uni

I wanted to go there at one stage!

 

[sambibabe]

panda, here is the swatch that I promised!

From left, 100 strokes, Maroon and Heritage Rouge

The photo couldn't capture 100 strokes properly though. It has peachy bronzy shimmer, which isn't shown in the photo.

MakeupGeek did my favorite BBR look, Blowdry and she used 100 strokes in there.
YouTube - MAC Brunette Blonde Redhead Look

HTH!

I experiment a lot with Delft and Blackground, but not with other bases.. Maybe this is a *sign* that we don't need anymore s/s from Sugar Sweet!

[panda0410]

Ooooh, thank-you Sami!!!! I might skip now... its a little less red than I thought it would be, I'll stick with both my piggies I think

I traded off Beauty Marked for the same reason. I ended up pressing both the Maroon and Heritage Rouge though so they get lots of love in my palette

Toxaemia - I LOVE True Chartruese piggie but I never use it enough

I am going to buy some Face and Body Mixing Medium this week and press it though - was hunting for something to press Mattes with and Koren says this works, fingers crossed!!!

aaargghh.. why did you guys even have to start talking about 'bases'?? now i know i need more paintpots and try shadesticks.....
