MAC - Cham Pale Discussion - Page 74

I ended up with:

 

2 Fix+ Lavender (Love Love Love this)

1 Bubble Lounge L/G

1 Straight to the Head L/G

1 Tinted Lip Condition Lavender

1 Hot House (Back up from Venomous Villians LOVE THIS ALSO) Lipgelee

1 IGNK E/L

 

Overall, I am happy with everything I purchased. No returns here. I am looking at some of the upcoming releases and dont feel very excited about much in the near future, but that could change, in a second!

Let me know the difference in Too Chic & Play it Proper. I really love PiP! I ordered 2 more.

 

Too bad the pp didn't work out for you.

I returned my paint pot - and I never return anything! I just couldn't deal with the glitter and I think MAC should know about the problem. If I kept it, MAC might think I liked it. 

 

^ That's what every MAC artist told me.

finally got my shipment notification today in my e-mail at work, and when i went to track the package, it had already been delivered! so i had feline (holy crap is this thing black. you all weren't kidding), i get no kick, and the lighter chromagraphic pencil waiting for me when i got home! getting three eye pencils you want to use on your waterline when you only have two eyes is problematic though, haha. 

So I got my 2nd haul of the collection, I got Let me Pop and Dangerous Cuvee...

Dangerrous Cuvee is going back, what a sheer glittery mess...I have no use for that, however Let me Pop is great. Gorgeous color.

So after staying away from MAC & Spcktra for almost a year (except for the occasional lurking), I got sucked back in after having my son early December.  And of course, being unable to join in the Boxing Day madness physically, I did so virtually with Cham Pale. And MAC delivered within 48 hrs!! So happy I have toys to play with. =D

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and swatches!  It kept me awake and entertained during the night feeds.  =P  I still want all the paint pots but held myself to only two. My haul was:  Dangerous Cuvee, Let Me Pop!, I Get No Kick and Crest the Wave (saw it in Goodbyes and I've always wanted it). I'm wavering on Vintage Selection but hope to pick it up as a swap or stag in the future.

I must say them pp's are like dazzleglass for the eyes as people have said and if my eyes weren't so puffy from lack of sleep they'd look better on me instead of crinkley disco balls (yess, I have more crinkles with puffy eyes!). I tried them with different shadows and different finishes and I like the kick the glitter gives. DC looks more mature so LMP feels a bit juvenile on me but I'll keep it anyway. I found both pp's to be creamy, almost like shadesticks meet pp's. No problem then with dry and sheer.

I do wish that instead of pp's MAC would've released the colours as more eye kohls. I love what IGNK does to wake up my eyes!  And the texture is divine - so creamy!  If the pp colours were released as kohls I would get all of them AND backups!

I did pause as to whether I should exchange LMP for Dark Diversion f/l but I really wanna try it out in springtime. Doesn't mean I won't get DD tho!

All this means is... I'm soooo screwed when it comes to the January collections...

Edit: iPhone auocoorrect turns colours to collies - "MAC would've released the collies as more eye kohls."

Congratulations, BlahWah!  So nice to see you back. :)

 

I was away a bit too, but came back for the most interesting collections.  And this one was very interesting!

^ I read somewhere that vintage selection is similar to Benefit's creme shadow in RSVP, which has a lot better reviews that VS. I was in love with the colour of it as well, but I don't really want to be spending that sort of money on something that's poor quality (especially as someone who didn't even know how to use creme shadows until this thread! ;) )

Don't you find it moves around?  How do you make it stay? I used to have a Feline and then got rid of it... now I just bought another one.  But I'll get rid of this one too if I can't figure out how to make it non-smear. lol

and here i am sitting with my paint pots i got before i left MIA...afraid and with my wine in the other damn room, lol!

 

Wow...I picked up vintage selection even though I wasn't completely in love with it because of the sparkles mostly...remembered i had a mini of RSVP I got in a kit and guess what they look identical colorwise....except RSVP is minus the sparkles! Well I know where I will be tomorrow...at my local MAC returning vs...lol

 

Thx
 

I like Perfect Topping better than almost any highlighter, so I'd have to say I don't like BC as much, but it's fairly close. And yes, Rose Ole is more rosy than BC.

That's okay! Glad to hear, because I've been wanting to get into benefit.
 

Ya after a while I see the start of raccoon eyes...crap...I really love it but hate smeared liner

Thanks Meryl! Glad to be back, altho I find it ironic that tho I have more time for Specktra, I have no time for makeup! I haven't made a full face in 2 mos and I so miss it... I was so giddy to receive my MAC pkg and to try put the new stuff that I didn't care if I looked like a crazy person with LMP on one eye and DC on the other. Must've looked like a circus clown!!

This definitely caught my interest more than the fall collections, altho the TT blushes and es's were calling me. I stayed strong tho! Cham Pale and the Jan 2011 collections were calling louder. Can't wait to try these out for real when I actually have a moment!

^ Congratulations, BlahWah! Welcome back!

yes perfect topping is my favourite highlighter too! :)

 

If that's the case I'm glad I didn't pick up VS then... Definitely will check out Benefit!

 

Thanks Teresita! It's good to be back amongst fellow MAC addicts obsessing over textures & hues. =D

I'm sorry to hear about your diet. I can imagine it being hard to eat chicken again, but you have to do what's best for you. I hope you feel better very soon 

 

Katred has a good point about MUFE being a french company. To be honest i want to try the HD foundation too. It is always difficult to decide if i want to use product from a company or not.

 

Yes- it's very hard. Sometimes it makes me feel sick, honestly, but I do feel a lot better overall, so thank you!

 

I struggle with that decision a lot, too. Nine times out of ten, I'm strong enough, but there's always that tenth time....
 

layla feel better soon...

 

chicken makes you sick? omg.. my late hubby used to tell me I ate like a trucker.. lol.  I eat anything, and everything -- I just make sure I wash it down with some vino..lol.  A great steak, rib eye, cheese, chicken, pasta, risotto.. oh my.. I could never give up food, it's one of the pleasures of life.  Besides --

 

did you know that chickens are really the old  dinosaurs.. no kidding, that's the latest research

 

No it didn't migrate around on me at all & I even took a shower with it on. Just like the Paint Pots as well as other makeup products,  it may really depend on your own  skin/body chemistry.  I have normal to dry skin & I never have issues with smudging or with fading. Maybe thats why the PP have not been a messy issue for me like so many others.

 

For the PP try the finger appl. to the lid. I was talking to a MA about the issues some were having with the fallout - she said use your finger to apply :) It seemed to me that when they are using the primers, its not sticking to the lids. I don't know the answer but they are beautiful & working for me.

FYI - Mally  is Todays Special Value on QVC today! In it is this super awesome new product that I will NEVER be without - Poreless Face Defender. Its a clear setting powder, but not really a powder - great for us old ladies It seriously makes your face look completely flawless!!! Its clear so it never ever cakes. Makes the skin look like a babys bottom. I don't think there is anything else out there on the market like it - yet.

 

You can check out the product video on the site.

 

Congrats and welcome back!!!  Hopefully you'll be able to find some "you" time to play with your new goodies soon.
 

^ lol Elegant.. great for us old ladies..! It is a nice product.. I agree, however I still cannot give up my YSL Touche Matte.. I have too many tubes left.. lol

haha - I figured you would catch that ;) hmmm, I'll have to check that YSL product out next time

lol.. I am very sensitive about us old ladies -- and highly protective

 

do try the YSL -- you might like it...keeps me looking like a 20 year old

Can I put it - ANYWHERE
