Thread open....have at it!

 

[Hilly]

yuck to the Flashtronic MES. McQueen (with the exception of New Vegas)

Love to C-Shock, Blue Storm, and the Metallic Eyes holiday pallet.

So much came out this year.

 

[purrtykitty]

Here's my two cents:

Best New Product Introduced in ’07: Moisturelush or Tendertones

Worst New Product Introduced in ’07: Chromeglass or the Flashtronic MES (even though I love the colors, they're a pain to apply without looking like a disco ball) and the Metal-X shadows (the crease like a mutha-f**ka)

What do you want to see MAC do in ’08: More NEW colors of course (stop it with so many repromotes, already)!

What was a new trick/skill that you added to your makeup application skills in '07 that you would love to share?: I finally found my eyeshadow base to prevent creases...UDPP!

Skincare: Prep + Prime Face Protect (Prep + Prime Face Protect)
New Brushes: The Racquel ones
Other: BARBIE DOLL!!! and I'm loving the Authentics palette.

What just didn't move you at all? What did MAC do that disappointed you in '07?

Eye Shadow: The Smokey Palette (Antiquitease - Royal Assets). Tried many times to make it work but I had to return it or I'd end up smashing it with a hammer.
Eye Liner: Any/all of the colored eyeliners. I'm really not a fan of colored liners so I wish MAC would stop making them. Really, black and brown are all that're needed. Crazy eyeshadows are great but, bright blue/green/pink liners make the eyes look baaaaaaaaaad in my opinion.
Mascara: Plushlash (Plushlash). I really can't get it to look good on me, so I'll stick with Pro Long Lash and Chanel Inimitable.
Lipstick: Blast O' Blue (C-Shock). I have it but seriously what was the point of making a sheer blue lipstick? At least cybergoths and club kids could wear an opaque Satin, Matte, or Amplified blue, but a Lustre blue that goes on a sheer super-cold purpley color? Gross failure.
Lipliner: New Money (Slimshine). Okay so... what am I supposed to use this liner with again?? Lipglass Pencils (In 3D). Okay so... this is a sheer lipliner... and what's the point?
Lipglass: Nico Now (The Originals) is such a dead corpse purple-grey.
Foundation: Mineralize Satinfinish (Mineralize Satinfinish) can look gorgeous on some skins, and look like a greasy mess on others.
Blush: Emote (Smoke Signals). So is this blush supposed to make you look ugly on purpose, or what?
Multipurpose: Fashion Leader Glimmer Shimmer (Barbie Loves MAC) - It went on sooo gross and thick, Helium Pigment (Balloonacy) is chunky and ugly, and Metal-X (Metal-X) shadows crease like hell and go on sooo dry.
