MAC Heavenly creature discussion - Page 56

I do my back to MAC stuff as the counter in Macy's and they never say anything about the missing pans. Must be just a pro-store thing.

Oh! I think I might want Meteoric too. I  cremesheen glosses.

I think I might call a Macy's tomorrow and see if I can B2M for a lippie from this collection without the es pans. It's worth a shot. I just wish EVERY SINGLE store had the same policy. Like all macy's have one, all pro stores have another.. etc..

It's worth a try! The worst thing they can do is say no. Then you can order pans and do the pro-store thing. I might order pans for my next B2M just so I CAN go to the pro-store. I want to B2M for an eyeshadow next time.

Peachtwist I'm still trying to write you a proper email. Hope your doing well and keeping a smile in your heart!

This might be kind of a weird suggestion... but I used to dust some translucent powder over lipsticks that I was afraid i would smear...it basically made them more of a matte and they stayed on a long time... I just used a crappy throwaway puff like the kind that came in cheap powder compacts, poofed it on once...sorta patted it in so it blended with the lipstick and that set it...

if you like the color but not the weartime...maybe try a lipliner all over first, then the RD, then powder it a bit? (yes, it did dry things out a bit, but i usually did it with something like red lipstick that was a bit too slick and smeary...)

I would have bought Razzledazzler if it would have been available over here. I'll get Cut a Caper instead. Skipped it the first time it was released, because I already had a couple of similar lipsticks. Now I have even more similar ones, but adding one more to the bunch doesn't matter anymore. 

I'm also getting a Stereo Rose vibe from Centre of the Universe MSF, like someone mentioned earlier. That's exactly why I'm getting it. I have a Stereo Rose trauma, since I tried so hard to get it when it came out with the In the Groove collection, but I failed. So I'm getting this as a substitute. 

Thank you for the swatches!

Now what they are doing is putting the total amount on a gift card and using that gift card when I pick up my items. I don't have the gift card since they keep it but just kinda sucked that I got charged today when I budgeted for next week's check. Luckily I didn't go to crazy and stayed within budget but still...

This change in preorder policy may change my plans this week.  I was going to preorder for this collection on Friday, but I may decide to delay that. 

ETA:  I just checked with my local pro store.  Their preorder charge policy has not changed.  They will not charge my card until the actual day of release.

Oh, what was I thinking? I don't have a damn list yet, because I don't know about this stuff & the swirl picking talk, which must be some top secret info. because only 2 nice people were willing to tell me & 1 of them was just surmising what it all meant.
Thanks to the person who put the metering swatch link up. Much appreciated!

I think I'm happy its not as bright as Star Quality....I don't really wear that one much because its a bit TOO much for me....I usually go for lighter colors on the lips than that so Meteoric is much more up my alley.

good luck! seriously.

My local freestanding store is a real pain with B2M as well.  I need to bring a printout of a MAC chat regarding B2M policies in order for them to actually honor the policy.  Otherwise they always try to find reasons not to honor it.

LMAO! I just envisioned it as being too close to Flamingo and I ended up swapping that one away.

      its basically picking the ones with the colors that you want. for example during fall color we all went crazy trying to find lightscapades with blue veining since that makes that msf especial instead of getting ones that were just white. with mes go with ones that have the colors in a nice order where you can pick them separately with your brush instead of ones where all colors are really mixed and hard to pick, creating a muddy color. 

hope that helps.

Thank you purplerinne and liesierre!

Earthshine is officially off my list. Still pretty sold on everything else I had on there.

I want a nude, but they just don't work on me. So I am trying to find a bold nude...does that make sense? I'm just used to wearing bold lips that when I try a nude it doesn't work for me. I'm hoping the RD will be a little brighter so I can wear it as a nice light color. We'll see.
XFingers crossedX

It really might. I think theres kinda endless possibilities when you're layering... thats why i figured I'd just get it...its basically a blank slate color...if I look too dead, add something with a little tint of pink or peach or something and it warms everything up.
