MAC - Semi Precious Discussion - Page 106

Awe thanks everyone for your very sweet comments!!! I love you guys!

It's funny how one of the things I was excited about coming back home was to come on here and tell you how it all went hehe. I love our lil Specktra family!

I actually did use some stuff from my haul... I did a soft purple kinda smokey eye. Nothing too crazy. I used Golden Gaze and Hint of Sapphire with some violet pigment and the purples from Peacocky. Then used Briar Rose b/p with Crystal Pink msf over it. And my beloved Playtime l/s. I am SO upset I didnt get a backup. I wear it all the time.

Here's a link to a pic. I cant take the pic until I pay for the copyrights. Here's a link to where you can see a closeup...

I linked all the Wedding pics in my siggy

I'm back from my Wedding week in Vegas! Since the store is pro in Ceasars I was able to swatch and buy a few days before my wedding. I freaked out thinking everything would be gone. I called ahead and she said everything was there. I got to the store and she was like "Are you the one that called?" There was tons of everything left, I was so surprized. I walked to the MAC store with a purpose! lol I was SO excited to see this collection.

I got...

Clarity mes- I actually think this is one of my favs! It's SO stunning! I love the multicolor shimmer. It's just so awesome! Liba was so right on this one...as I knew she would be ;) I got one with not as much black in it, but it still has just enough. And I can also put it over a darker base

Hint of Sapphire mes- So pretty, its all I was hoping for. It has a good amount of pink and blue veining so I get this pink blue color with a tinge of purple. LOVE LOVE IT!

Unsurpassable mes- This color is bonkers! I picked one with both green and blue veins. Liba wasnt kidding when she said you can get like 4 diff types of colors from this. Kinda wish I wouldnt have gotten one with not as much blue though. Theres quite a bit.

Golden Gaze mes- What more can you say? It's the perfect gold!

I was actually thinking maybe the mes's will work well over Too Faced glitter glue primer? Esp for colors like Clarity. If so I think I might pick it up. What do you think? Also cause I really wanted to get some pigments from Illamasqua but was worried about glitter fallout.

Gem of Roses l/s- Its sooooo pretty! no wonder it got such rave reviews! It's actually quite pigmented on my lips.

Lush Ambur l/s- nice nudey color, it too shows up pretty well on me. Nothing amazing but I still like it

Then I went back the next day and picked up...

Crystal Pink MSF- This was my fav out of them. My By Candelight broke so thats apart of the reason I got it. It is pretty frosty so I use a very light hand. I put it over my blush for my wedding and it gave a soft pretty glow. Pearl reminded me of my Triple Fusion MSF and I have enough pink cheek colors to not get Rose Quartz.

234 Brush- I got it cause you guys have said it works well with the mes's which it does. Pat with one side and blend with the other, love it. And its so soft!

I wanted to get more mes but felt these were my must haves. And hopefully the others will be around for a while. I am thinking Jades Fortune and Rare Find still (pale, light brown eyes, dark hair, yay or nay?). I was trying not to over do it on MAC since Vegas has that huge Sephora. I got a few Mufe Aqua Creams (which I was messing with yesterday with my mes's and they work VERY well with them) I got the blue and green one. Got the blue and purple liquid glitter liners from Stila, I still want the green/teal one, they were sold out. The purple makeup bag from Urban Decay. A Kat Von D set, it had the True Love palette, a lipstick, eyeliner, and two primers for 54$, it was a great deal. A Sephora brand lipstick (which I dont think I'll be doign again, they dont taste good at all LOL) and a lipliner brush. I'm so glad I got one of these! It's great for all my pesky lipsticks like Playing Koi. It's easier to build up the colors. Coach Poppy Rollerball (couldnt afford a bottle) Oh and the sweet girl at the MUFE area gave me a sample of the MUFE HD foundation, I cant wait to try it! I spend way too much money but its my wedding present lol

Sorry this post is so long. I am still on a Wedding high and its my b-day today as well (which as you get older its not so great anymore haha) I was excited to tell everyone bout my hauls. It was an amazing Wedding day! I am still on cloud nine, I love my hubby so much...I get to call him that now! Yay :)

I don't really care about veins in my eyeshadows.. probably because dark indulgence and smoked ruby shouldn't change because of them! I don't think I could ask to see eyeshadow and choose what I want... ahahah it would be really weird here :P it's like returning make up... to my eyes it's everything very strange and I don't know if it's just me or if it's the modus operandi here in Italy ...

piarpreet: Do you remember which bases you used with Faux Gold? The ones that are swatched are your finger are stunning!!

the inner corner's smokey part with smoked ruby is hardly noticable in pic but this weird possitioning of shadows is pretty interesting and sexy

Which bases did you use with the Faux Gold?  Also, I thought the placement of the Smoked Ruby was interesting too.  I liked that video but I thought it was weird that you never see the MA whole face.

So i got my packages

In the second order i got another one of unsurpassable (looking for veining that would work for me) and jade's fortune, and rare find. Mission impossible. Rare find i learnt to LOVE it.... but when i ordered i didnt fall in love yet. 

Ive put them for swap in case somebody likes these, but check out the purple on unsurpassable. I had no clue it had purple in it untill i got this one. My other one had none hahha variability of veining is kinda crazy. 

jade's fortune and i will never get along, apparently. the first one was 60% yellow, and this one... has little navy, which is the one i wanted. I have blue sheen but they r quite different. 

these MEs got game! look at bases's magic! rare find with 4 different bases and also faux gold with 4 different bases

Today on the other hand I got clarity and faux gold

look with faux gold (copied from youtube video brazilian mac MUA:

I went to the counter and asked the MUA if I could see all the Golden Gaze e/s because I wanted one that had more gold to it. They were all pretty dark but I managed to pull the one that had the most gold in it. She looked at me like I had 3 heads but I got what I wanted :)

I got the most beautiful Faux Gold ever. I couldn't have picked a better one myself. It has a thick coral veining and two blobs or burgundy. On the the other hand, my 4th BU of Goldstone has little-to-no burgundy in the nipple, but it will be o.k. given that I probably have enough GS to bronze a small village. I'm still glad I got it though as my f/s had sold the last one this weekend.

I hope my FG will look as nice as your's when it arrives!
