Sad but true moment for me: I don't care how much that cupcake is worth...I'm still totally eating it. girlhaha.gif

 

What did you end up ordering?

 

post #4955 of 5254

Holy cow lol.gif I wonder how much it would be if they took that diamond off of it lol.gif

 

Sadly I'm forced to stick with my decision not to get the cool piggie set! ssad.gif And I really hope Jigs & Jives comes out in another set that will be worthwhile to me or on it's own.

Jenn- got my bag today!!!!  th_hug.gif

 

The bags from this collection are awesome! Definitely my new makeup bag.  love.gif

 

Haven't ordered the sets I want. I'm going through a bit of a MAC freeze thing, and if I get them for my birthday, I'll be happy, but I've decided not to stress about them.  th_dunno.gif

Exactly. And now that I'm taking a step back, I'm definitely richer and I'm obsessed with music again.  love.gif  Feels like a much better fit for me.  greengrin.gif

I wore the six beauties palette for the first time today and I love it. It looked so awesome with the new nars gloss, downtown. I had no problems with pigmentation. I used all colors except the darkest one, heather belles, I think it's called. I am in love with hold my gaze. I need like six of those. So so happy with this palette and twists of tartan. Now I just need the neutral lip glass set and I am done with Mac until Xmas.

FYI I let Sir Teddy out of his box every time I need to touch him. I put him back in when I'm done so he's safely away from dust and feline attacks 
 

post #4961 of 5254

I was thinking about getting cut a caper & the fairie glen, but I'm not too sure. Whats everyone thinking about these two lipsticks?

 

The pearlglides look lovely, black swan is stunning <3

 

When I first saw the peachy coloured blush, I wanted it so much, but I might just stick to Illamsqua's lover.

post #4962 of 5254

I am debating whether I should get the pigment set I've been eyeing or just wait till it hits the CCO. What's a girl to do?

I'm feeling the same way! I've taken a step back so far that I have decided I'm going to *attempt* to do "drugstore store only" purchases until next year! This way I 

will have more money for other folks for the holidays lol and that should ease up the stress from the holiday collections too...  At least I (too) am getting back

into music.. I finally listened to a few new albums I had been meaning too and I'm so glad I did! 

 

>>2browneyes which pigment set are you eyeing? im hoping some make it CCO's or I'll be missing out ssad.gif

Have you decided on the Nars foundation yet?  cutey.gif


Not yet ssad.gif .. I decided to wait until I can try it in person to choose the colour match for me, so I got Laguna bronzer instead since it's universal for everyone so nothing could go wrong even when I can't swatch it in person smiles.gif

I have the Pro colour Fusion Pink and the same thing happens when I wear it. No matter how well I clean my face before passing out, ahem, falling asleep, I always wake up with lips that are stained a sort of candy pink.
 


 

 

Thanks for the warm welcome - this place is as lovely as it seems from the 'outside'! smiles.gif Can't wait to get properly stuck in and posting a bit more!

Shontay will you post swatches when you get this?  I'm still debating if I want it now or if I can risk it and hope it gets to my CCO.  I would like to see swatches on darker skin.

post #4969 of 5254

 

mac_boxday.gifI got my tinsth_happy1.gifpompom.gif

 

MAC just made my dayflower.gif

 

 

 

For those of you wondering about the sizes, here are some pics:

 

Mini-lipglass with some regular sized MAC lip products for comparison

 

DSCN1343.JPG

 

DSCN1382.JPGMini-

 

lipglasses with some coins for comparison (sorry I wanted to use some US and CND $ as well but I have no idea where I put my coin-box)

 

DSCN1350.JPG

 

 

Mini-piggies with a regular sized (new packaging) piggie for comparison

 

DSCN1357.JPG

 

and coins

 

DSCN1362.JPG

 

And now the tins! I know you were waiting for these 

 

I don't own any regular sized MAC brushes so I pictured them close to some LE brushes (from this year's set) and another bigger brush I have (this is about 19cm - 7 ½ inches in length) 

 

 

 

DSCN1374.JPG

 

 

DSCN1365.JPG

 

 

DSCN1369.JPG

 

 

DSCN1370.JPG

DSCN1372.JPG

 

 

DSCN1375.JPG

 

 

DSCN1378.JPG

 

 

DSCN1379.JPG

 

 

 

FYI:

 

 

The liplglass tin is about 4 ½ inches (11,4 cm) in height and the base is about 3x3 inches (7,6 cm) 

The piggies tin has the same base but the height is 3 ¼ inches (8,2 cm)

 

 

I don't know if these pics are ok for the swatch topic as well…if they are I'll post them there as well.

post #4970 of 5254

Thanks so much for the comparison pics, Alty. I was curious about the lipglass sizes.

post #4971 of 5254

Here are some swatches of the cool piggies set.

I had no idea how hard it is to make color accurate swatch pictures…I tried so many different lights but I guess sunlight is the only way to show the color nicely. 

I'm gonna re-try tomorrow with daylight. In the meanwhile, here are the ones that didn't look like cr@p

 

For reference: my skin is about NC15/20 (still have some doubts since I don't use liquid foundation)

Mauvement has more golden-bronze sparkles in it.

Softwash grey has a lot more purple.

Silver fog is pure metallic silver.

All are swatched dry

 

Left to right: mauvement, cheers my dear!, softwash grey, silver fog, reflects pearl

BACK ON TOPIC!

 

 

I am hoping that I can get my paws on Sassy Pink Lassies next Thursday in store! I need my 20% discount!!! Every penny counts, especially at this time of the year.

post #4977 of 5254

I had a look at the Chapter 1 stuff for the first time today - wasn't blown away (which is good...cause I can't afford to be blown away haha!)

 

I did come away with The Faerie Glen though, which is about as close to a perfect nude as Im ever likely to get greengrin.gif I really love it. I kinda only wanted it for the name at first so Im really glad that Im loving the colour too haha!

post #4978 of 5254

Thank you so much for the swatches, Alty! Now I *need* the cool pigments set too greengrin.gif

For those of you who found that TFG was too brown, I layered it over Pink Treat lipliner today, which really helped to emphasize the pink undertones! I bigheart.gif it smiles.gif
