MAC x Carine Roitfeld (Fall 2012) - Page 17

I am lemming the Jungle palette no and...resisting the urge to BU Tropical Mist with all this praise of it here.

You guys are making me want Tropical Mist.  I hope the palettes end up at the CCO.  

Wow, I just saw the D+ rating that T gave to the Jungle palette.  Is it that bad?  I like the bronzer and I love my Desert palette but that rating is really making me hesitate.  Tell me she is exaggerating the poor pigmentation and color payoff?

I have the Jungle palette and I think it's very nice. I mostly bought it for the blush, which is super duper awesome, but the shadows work really well for my skin tone too and have good pigmentation and texture. The colors aren't particularly unusual, but they're very handy neutrals - the palest color is a very good highlight for me, and I'm really picky about highlight shadows.

Not at all IMO!

 

I have and love  both palettes

 

I agree with liba....great neutral colors and I really like the texture and the pigmentation.

 

I've resisted up until now but you're all making me want these palettes! #fadingwillpower

 

Thanks folks, I think I am opting to get the other Roitfeld palette instead of the holiday ones.  Of course I may renege and decide later to get a holiday palette at the CCO for a discount, but if the Jungle palette is like the Desert one, its a win win.  Love these colors.  I also like how the powder shadows slide over the cream blush product so the powder particles don't end up embedded in the cream product like sometimes happens with palettes with mixed products including powder and gels/creams.  I hate that I will now have 3 palettes with Carbon e/s, but what can you do?

Did anyone get the eyelash curler???

No, but I do have an eye on it.

i have it although not in that special packaging and it's really good

    i think princesssarah wanted it badly. she probably got it 

I bought one - haven't used it yet, though.

I just got it this past weekend. My first high(er)-end curler after using inexpensive ones after several years. I like it, but I wish it could open just a little bit wider.

I noticed that too. It doesn't open as wide as the silver mac curler. 😞

I got it too, my first eyelash curler. Now I am wondering if I should have gotten the silver or the half lash one instead? It's very tricky to use for me,quite a hassle to get all the lashes in the small 

opening while keeping the curler close to the lid... but I have to say that the curl it gives is wonderful, makes me wish I tried lash curlers sooner!

OMG...I thought I was the only one....I like the color but that's about it....I used it 2x and never touch it again.....

 

 

ORLY?  T seemed to think it was all that and a bag of chips.  I guess I will just stick with my cheapo Revlon one.

It does give a good curl; I agree with Christine on that point. It just doesn't open wide enough, which is something she either didn't notice or didn't think was a concern for her.

If you can find and buy the regular silver one (should note that neither the MAC website nor Nordie's website are carrying it at the moment), you may have better luck with that.

I guess it works for her eye shape. My eyes are deep set and down turned (according to a gossmakeupartist video). Does anyone have a similar eyeshape and can recommend a better curler?
