It is the perfect coral lip that I have been searching for. So I couldnt walk out with just that.... queen.gif....so I also picked up Patina, Sketch and Blackground PP.

 

This morning I felt like playing in my make-up so this is the look I did :) Lucky Green on the eyes, Marine Life on the cheeks and Ever Hip on the lips..

The only thing I want from this collection is Groundcover which is so ugly beautiful but I have a head cold so my judgement is suspect.

I can just imagine it in the crease with my favorite gray/grey Mac shadow, Clue and Remotely Grey but like I said I wouldn't trust me right now.

 

It just seems so different and uniquely ugly which means it's a must have.

I went to the store and picked up a backup of Ever Hip, Summer Shower and I ended up getting Alpha girl. I hadn't planned on getting it at all because I was hearing everyone say it doesn't work on medium skin types, but I tested it in the store and I really love the light little glow that Alpha Girl gives me, It looks nice, like a slight flush but not overbearing just kinda subtly there.

Stunning!!!! Beautiful!!! GucciGirl you are rocking that make-up. Thank you for sharing.pretty.gif

I'm still resisting buying anything from the next few collections until Semi Precious or the Bloggers' Collections (whenever that may come out)). So far, so good, but it's hard not to buy anything.blink.gif

i checked out budding beauty today and i'm glad i didn't buy it online without seeing it.  I wasnt really into it when i swatched it.  It is really pale and milky but sheer and sparkly looking, i just ended up buying 2 things from the permanent line.. fanfare lipstick, and pink lemonade lipglass.  I couldnt walk out of there empty handed! 001_unsure.gif

Live chat said Groundcover is a bit lighter than Copperplate.
post #1337 of 1936
Groundcover is light to the point if irrelevance. Swatching it last night really turned me off. It's like a murky gray. I just didn't see this being flattering on my eye w/o a lot of work. It reminded me of dirty water. Too bad since I love gray.

Is anyone able to compare Bows and Curtseys with Nars Night Porter, please?

It is a bit lighter, but they're definitely close cousins. I actually don't think that the colour is ugly at all. The problem with Groundcover is that its colour payoff is so bad. Copperplate, by contrast, is a dream to work with. I think you could get the same effect as Groundcover by using Copperplate lightly and/ or sheering it out a bit.

My order got delayed by UPS until Monday cry.gif

 

UPS & the stores have screwed up almost every order I have placed in the last 2 months. I waited for a little over 3 weeks for my backup of Play Time from Macys. They kept assuring me it had shipped - so I asked for the store manger a couple of days ago - she found it was still sitting by the MAC register censored.gif what the heck. People are so incredibly incompetent these day. I just received the play time ls a day ago geesh

post #1344 of 1936

thank you katred, shontay and cuteg for the info on groundcover.

post #1345 of 1936

i ended up buying groundcover actually, and i wore it this morning on the lid, with free to be in the crease and slightly above.  i'd say it's very pretty, and doesn't have any pigmentation problems when applied to the lid (as opposed to my arm....i was a bit worried when i first opened it up and swatched it!). somebody asked about french grey vs groundcover, and not sure if anyone answered, but i will try to find mine FG and swatch them...off-hand i reckon FG will be a tad greener, darker and satiny...

post #1346 of 1936

i loooove everything i bought so far (hehe) from this collection! i got alpha girl, groundcover, budding beauty, free to be (in the pan, so technically not from this coll. i guess), the mascara, and they sent me some QC pins.

 

i'm thinking of checking out summer shower in the store but not sure how it'll work on me.  does it have a similar kind of effect as acid washed or lollipop lovin'?

 

 

post #1347 of 1936

*sigh* I still have to wait for Monday. I bet they're going to deliver it at like 6-7pm too.... probably while we're at my birthday dinner. If some punk steals it off my front step.... angry.gif

It's been a crazy night!  Went by two MAC counters to pick up Summer Shower, Budding Beauty and Ever Hip.  I'd called the Bloomies counter (I went to high school w/ the Manager there) and had Summer Shower and Budding Beauty held for me as they were sold out of Ever Hip.  Called the Macy's counter and had them hold Ever Hip and Summer Shower for me.  I went out armed with my 12 empties for 2 B2M lippies.

 

Here's where the fun begins.

 

First I stop by the Macy's counter.  I saw Budding Beauty but passed.  They were sold out of Ever Hip but thankfully me calling ahead snagged the last one.  I did B2M for EverHip so I only paid for Summer Shower.  OMG, Summer Shower looks just so absolutely gorgeous!!!!  I knew I had to buy another so was very glad Bloomingdales hooked me up.

 

Or so I thought.

 

I walk down to the Bloomies counter and find out not only were they sold out of Budding Beauty but didn't even put my stuff on hold like they were supposed to!  undefined  And as if that wasn't bad enough, they were SOLD OUT of Budding Beauty AND wouldn't let me B2M for Summer Shower!!!  After a lot of apologies from them (and getting me to laugh when one of the MAs found out BB was sold out said, "I'm glad I bought that sh!t online!") I did B2M for Up the Amp and paid for another Summer Shower.  Then when I left the counter I ordered Budding Beauty online from my iPhone.

 

I didn't think I'd like the Creamsheen formula but I am so in total love with Ever Hip.  Such a pretty coral color.  Can't wait to pair it with Budding Beauty!  And Summer Shower has the most gorgeous shimmer--looks like the type of lipstick TinkerBell would wear.  The MAs at Macy's were fawning all over the color.  When they put it over Magenta lipliner (which I have) we all drooled over it.

 

I passed on the shadows as I wasn't interested in them.  Passed on the beauty powders too.

 

post #1349 of 1936

It really frustrates me when MAC varies from store-to-store with the B2M program.  Dont get me wrong Im glad they even have the B2M program, but it can be annoying when you go in thinking one thing and then the MA's says something different.

Wow sounds like fun *sarcastic voice*

Sorry you had to go through that. Why do they say they will hold it for you then not actually hold it. Thats gotta be frusterating

Why wouldnt they let you B2M for Summer Shower . Cause its LE?
