I reckon they are definately dupable though.. but I can't think of one for Stylin... maybe Climate Blue but Stylin is more purple.

Dupe for Lucky Tom please?? Climate Blue I thought was a pretty close dupe for Stylin, I hate Paradisco and Creme Royale was meh for me - the whole palette was only of interest for Lucky Tom but if there is a suitable dupe then I will pass that palette!

 

[myystiqueen]

^^ check out makeupbytiffanyd.blogspot.com

she got the list of the possible dupes and the swatches...

 

[panda0410]

I see, thanks!

I am not impressed with the Lucky Tom dupes.... I wondering if layering with a colour like Mineral over a black would achieve a better result...

Hmm Lucky Tom is one that I can't come up with a dupe for either haha. I'm sure there are dupes out there but I'm not familiar with some of MAC's permanent shades in that colour family. It's a sheer blackened brown with gorgeous, fine gold sparkles. I have nothing like it in my collection! I love it

 

[panda0410]

Oh no.... Now I think I NEED it....LOLOL!!

I hate when that happens! I think makeup+tiredness+limited time=disaster waiting to happen! Hope you were happy with the green look.

Played with Shale e/s again today.. Didn't like the shadow by itself the last time, but it is quite pretty layered with lighter shade underneath..

Lips
Ever so Rich c/g - with my pigmented lips, this alone turned out mauve gloss lol..

No matter how much I love MAC blushes, at the end I still go back to NARS blushes. If Grand Duo doesn't turn out nice, I think I will get another NARS blush tomorrow!

Ok, I finally had time to myself yesterday to relax and unwind so I attempted the 'pink' challenge. Failed dismally - pink does not suit me! SO... wiped that muck of and started again....

Just checking in... I wore absolutely no makeup today as I was doing housework all day then took the dog down to the beach for an hour or so.

 

[sambibabe]

That sounds like a perfect way to spend Sunday, MrsMay!

Housework? yeah, it was great, loved every minute of it lol...

Oh, you mean the beach....

We had to go to my grandma's place to feed the birds and that is a couple of streets away from the beack we take the dog to so we fed the birds first then spent the next hour or so down the beach with the dog.

 

[sambibabe]

LOL.. It sounds like you had a releaxing day (except the housework part). I am actually looking foward to doing some housework! I know, it sounds crazy.. but I really miss having a place of our own, and I will love all the house chores (give me a week or two and I will start whining about them).
