Is your MAC a store or a counter? If there coming out at counters I'll wait so I can actually play with them before I decide. Some swatches would be great though. I'm undecided between Frisky Business and Sexy Shenanigans lipglass sets. Which one out of those two are your fav? I can't decide

[princessjodie]

mine is classed as a counter because its not a stand alone shop its part of a mini mall type complex

theres nothing wrong with late late shopping hehe

well i found it hard choosing between all three hehe but ide say (without swatches at the min its gonna be hard to choose for you) but the sexy shananigans set has lipglasses and lustreglasses which all have a sort of golden peach undertones to .. im a sucker for nude variations of lips which is why i got this particular set .. these lipglasses will look great ontop of myth, snob, st jarmain .. those type of pale frosted type lipsticks

the frisky business set has lipglasses and lustreglasses which are more pinky undertoned in colour ... pigmentation of this lipglass set is the better between this lipglass set and sexy shananigans .. also in this set theres more variation of colour between the five lipglasses and lustreglasses as oposed to in the sexy shanangans set .. so some things to keep in mind i think though the sexy shanaigans set would look fantastic over lipsticks whereas i think the frisky business lipglass set can be worn with or without a lipstick underneath

just my humble opinion

i havent had a chance to try any of either two lip sets on just yet been playing around with my models misbehaving set (the darker shades) which if your into mauve, purples lipglasses with copper undertones to then that is deffinately a great lipglass set to choose .. im nc15 (nc10 in satin foundation) but they still look good on me but darker shade skintones i reckon could still wear the lipglass great theres one lipglass called gitane in that set (models misbehaving lipglass set) which i adore it reminds me a little bit of one of the new dazzlecremes the darkish red one ... super pretty

[princessjodie]

wow sorry about the essay hehe i didnt mean to go on for so long

[anita22]

I think I might have to go back and get Superdupernatural blush. It just looked like the perfect warm deep peachy colour. If the lipglass sets won't be in stores for a while then then I have a little more in this month's budget for a blush

[inconspicuous]

I have to say, I'm kind of glad that it's only Boutique Budoir that's out here next month... after the holiday collection I need a month off big time lol

[anita22]

I went back for SDN blush. I also got the Heavenly Dish neutral lip kit . It's been a long time since I got any lip palettes from MAC but this one is particularly nice - both lipsticks are lustres and very soft, natural shades. The gloss has no pigmentation and just goes on clear basically, but overall I think it's a nice match for the Smoke & Mirrors eye palette - a soft, everyday look.

[kelly2509t]

Fingers crossed my MAC with get the sets then. I'm so tempted just to order them though so I get to play with them I do think I'm siding towards the Frisky Business set though. I need more colours like that in my collection.

LIP SETS

below is the lip Set called Frisky Business the swatches are true to the colour of the packaging i found which is good i hate when the colour of the product in the tubing is lighter or darker than what it first seems

the next lip set is called Sexy Shanigans i have some lipglasses and glosses which are similiar to this set very sheer colours still pretty though

Haha exactly. I just want the compact from BB so I'll save a lot from what I spent this month. Which leaves me a little leeway to hunt for some other things I want (like I really want the Tone: Grey quad, but I so can't afford it until next month)

I went back this afternoon and got Superdupernatural blush. I love it, so glad I went! They didn't get Conjure Up in stock though so I didn't get a chance to check it out =[

[banana1234]

so, i went to that new shopping centre in london called westfield, that mac shop there is awful, the people are so rude, and there's a security man on the door only letting one in when someone comes out! it was stupid, so bad i waited for 30 mins to get one thing, and ended up asking if it was alright for me to just grab it off the shelf myself.
the MAs make up was awful, they all had hideous coloured hair (bright yellow hair looks good on noone, niether does neon orange)
eugh!
they said to me when i paid 'so who helped you pick this' so they would get commission! i said NO ONE and looked pretty pissed about it
they had also glued all the holiday testers shut... WTF is that all about

Rant over!

That's so bad! Never been to that MAC but I'm going to Westfield at the end of Nov so was thinking of popping in. Think I might have changed my mind now. You could be waiting ages outside (like you did) just to get a couple of pieces. Was it really busy inside?

[LMD84]

i've heard many people complain about the mac shop in westfield, london. not good

at least you got your stuff hun, even if you did pick it yourself!

[Kirsty]

I popped into New Look today and noticed they had a load of the Barbie "All Doll'd Up" collection in. Defo worth a nosey.

A few bits were a bit crappy, but I picked up the Day & Night palette. A double sided palette with cuuute packaging.

You can check out a few items out here
Barbie
They have more in store eg. a smokey eye palette (in the same packing as the blush), set of 8 lipglosses, lip balms, double wand mascara.

[LMD84]

That's shocking. I've been to that Westfield a few times now, I've not spent much time in that particular MAC but now I think won't bother. There's an Inglot store next to the Boots in there, so I always head over there. The staff are lovely and it's always much less busy. (Not sure why, the products are quite good and a lot cheaper too..!)

ah i'm pleased you got the kit! shimpagne really is lovely! mine arrived from a sale in teh clearence bin last week so i was super happy too! i hope you get lots of use out of it! what is the little brush like? good quality?

[banana1234]

its okay, i wouldnt use it with either the blush or msf though, its more of a buffer, if you load too much on, cos it just kind of picks up the colour so well, if you were to use it to apply cheek colour etc, you'd end up with way too much, it would be good for things that require a heavy hand to show up

[Cindy1969]

I was in London last week, for a couple of days ( I love London !!!!)
It was my first time here, and on my list was a visit to Westfield Shopping Centre, i went there, but did'nt saw a MAC store (overwhelmed by the number of shops haha)
I did went into the Inglot store, read a lot about this brand on the internet.
Love the shop, and the girls working here, so nice and friendly and helpfull.

Next year i wan't to go back for London for a few day, London is great for shopping, we don't have such fantastic shopping streets like Oxford Street and Westfield in the Netherlands

I think I was a bit like you! There so many shops there your bound to miss some out. I didn't see MAC, but mind you I wasn't into MAC then so maybe thats why. I think I went into Inglot by accident but not sure if it was it or not. They had loads of different nail polishes that's all I remember I'm luckly that London is 30mins away on a train, mind you that's not always a good thing! (bad for the money)
