WOC: Bloggers' Collection - Page 6

I ordered Cacqui, Nitrolicious,AMPL, and sparkle neely sparkle. I was luck to get JW after it sold out and it wasn't as green as I expected it to be on me. I thought it would be more like inglot's # 58 eyeshadow oh well..

 

Is this the 6th week yet? I won't be able to buy anything until next week and I'm a bit worried.

 

The stock that is on the site now is probably going to be around until it sells out.  Hardly any of the items lasted for the original 6 weeks.  With the restock, i can't see MAC putting a time frame it, they have weight to move

 

I am so happy they actually even restocked the items...I was pretty doubtful for a while lol

I see All Of My Purple Life lipglass is sold out again. I grabbed a Hocus Pocus before it's all gone. 

I ordered AMPL and Hocus Pocus.  I had ordered Nitrolicious a few weeks after I got Jealously Wakes and Sonoran Rain.  Haven't had a chance to swatch Hocus Pocus but AMPL is way too purple for me. :(  Makes me feel like the Joker.  Have to play with this a bit to make it work for me.

wow, already?! that's crazy. It's a lovely gloss though..one of my new favs!
 

 

SNS is cooler and less red than brown script.  The micro-sparkles in SNS make it really special.

 

try it with a deep burgundy/purple lip liner like currant or nightmoth.  they will make AMPL less true purple and more berry purple. 

 

not surprised!  AMPL was hotness!  Purple always wins!

 

snatched up all four shadows (gonna have a friend depot them and put into a quad), and grabbed a backup of AMPL...which i'm glad i did because i hear it sold out again.

Im disappointed in SNS it doesnt show up on my skin :(

Sorry to hear that.  SNS is one of my favorites.  I usually wear it in my crease and some days I wear it as an all over lid color with a highlight color on the brow bone.  I love it so much, I had to get a back up.  You should give it another try... 

 

Thank you . .  I will !

 

Lele, what base do you use? This year, I've switched to the Nars shadow base and it makes all of my shadows show up better.

I switch between UDPP and TFSI . Ive never tried Nars shadow base but I am willing to give it a try to see if it will help SNS becuz it is so close to my skintone, it doesnt show up at all !!!

I ordered some stuff on Tuesday and received them on Saturday. I ordered AMPL and Caqui. I didn't order back ups because I was afraid they would not have worked for me (I have really pigmented lips) and to my surprise they did. Now I want backups but I can only get one for Caqui; but before I run and do so, I am gonna wait to see if they restock AMPL.

*ears perk up* better than UDPP?
 

 

 I agree with Shontay.  I've been using NARS Shadow base since last year and it knocks UDPP out of the box for me!  It's a little bit more expensive, but worth the price in my opinion.

Honey, yes! 1000x's better. It's silky smooth, colorless, guards against creasing and brings out the best in shadows. You only need a little. I love, love, love it. One of the best make up purchases of my life. The tube looks small and that's why I hesitated. Plus, I love TFSI, but you get a lot of use out of it, still.

say WHAAAAAAT?! Looks like I'll be trying anew primer once I run out of my UDPP :D Thanks for the 411 Shontay!

 

I've gotta get on the NARS Shadow Base love train and testify, because I got a sample of it from Sephora with an order a while back and I was super impressed with it!  I refuse to buy one, what with bottles of both the regular and Eden UD primer potions still in my possession, but the next time I need a shadow primer, you can bet I'm buying the NARS one!

^^^ geez, now I feel like the only one who hasn't tried it yet! lol!

Seconding the NARS shadow base!!! UDPP and Too Faced Shadow Insurance have not cut it since I found this product. I'm surprised more people aren't on this bandwagon yet...

Love NARS primer.  It's the only one that really is colorless on me. 

 

Lele - SNS didn't show up on me either when I first got it.  It was so close to my skin tone that when I put it on my husband asked - I thought you were upstairs putting on makeup?  So I tried it over NYX jumbo pencil French Fries since I wanted something cheap and it worked like a charm.  It shows the color and the sparkles but isn't overwhelming.  It's still really neutral but that helped give it that pop.  HTH. 

 

AMPL was specifically designed to show up purple on pigmented lips.  Patrice was seriously looking out for us darker lipped gals on this one.  This is why I think it sold so well!

 

get you some!  its amazing. i just wish the packaging was different. I keep trying to think what type of packaging would be effective and still say NARS.  A tube would be good, but it would have to be sleek like NARS packaging is.  I really dislike the doe-foot, but since a little goes a long way and my shadows stay on forever, i'll live with it.  Oh and another thing, I put the NARS shadow base under my MUFE eyeshadow corrector and my filled in brows don't budge a bit.  MUFE eyeshadow corrector is great on its own, but with the shadow base, its on another level, especially in this humidity.
 

 

SNS is so natural looking that its become a warm weather staple for me. Some swipes on the lid a little blending, eyeliner and done.  I think the NARS primer will really be good for you.
 

 

I actually like the doe foot on the Nars primer. I just use that to put it all over my lid and use my finger to blend it out. Well, I don't want to turn this into a Nars appreciation thread . Yeah, I saw a tutorial by pixiwoo and Nicole did a Cheryl Cole look recently where she used a shadow to line her eyes and then winged it out to make it smokey and had a gold shade on the lids. I've been doing this a lot. It's seriously sexy. I use Hocus Pocus for that since it's so easy to blend. I really love that shadow.
