MAC for Marilyn - Page 264

Oh dear.

There's still wayyyyyyy more than half left - the dip is in the middle only (at the moment anyway!)

woah! how the heck are you using this? I have used mine every day, as an all over face powder, with no dip yet. Maybe yours is really soft? 

Oh dear.

I'm glad you have many BUs, Gracie. LOL

I skipped DA. A big mistake? I got CIM, LG, and SI. I love the lippies from this collection!

I've tried Deeply Adored, an adviser from Sephora said it was gorgeous ( and it is ! ) but so many people stared. Very few women wear bold lipsticks here, what a pity ! Red lipsticks are so beautiful ! I picked up Star Dust, L'Impatiente and Malice from Chanel, l'Impatiente looks pretty, I will try it soon and they can always stare !

Oh dear.

There's still wayyyyyyy more than half left - the dip is in the middle only (at the moment anyway!)

L'impatiente is on my wishlist, along with Malice! How are you liking them so far? I'd love to know.

Here it's even rare to see people with makeup on, so I get your point! hahah

I wasn't going to buy any Marilyn items save the BP but stuff happened and I ended up getting all lippies and both blushes

I'm wearing CIS today for the first time and I love it! The blue undertone is very prominent, which makes it different from the other reds in my collection. And the application is to die for. MAC really nailed it with the new Matte formula!

I won't get my PZ, DA and LG until the end of next week, and I can't wait to play with them too.

I hit pan on my first one so now I feel less bad about having a bajillion backups!

(but please don't judge me for the hitting pan thing, I was shocked too )

You hit pan already?! Are you rolling around nekkid in it?

maybe you can sell your extra (BU) empty marilyn compacts once you are done as collector's items... 

hopefully mac will repromote this product or create new ones just like it....

I only have 1 FM but I use it once a day all over my face in the morning but I haven't noticed a dip yet. Don't make me have a panic attack! LOL

Ok, the lipstick game...

DA -> SI -> CIS -> LG (and I don't have PZ yet, but I reckon it will be last, considering my love for red lippies...

I like FM beauty powder but I'm not loving it to be honest. I use Guerlain Meteorites more every day, and I use FM only sometimes.. I prefer the finish of Meteorites personally.

I really do love FM. I've never had a BP before but I can see why everyone raves about them. I think the product really shines when it's worn all on its own on weekends when I don't bother with foundation. It's subtle but does a great job of evening out my skin tone and imparting the faintest glow. It's the first product I've ever backed up and I suspect I'll be sorry that I only have one in reserve.

How often does MAC release BPs, and are they all this good?

I use the 178 (natural part) to apply mine.

They usually come out a couple of times per year. Most of them are very subtle, so they are really a universal product - at least for those with light and medium complexions. My favorite is still Elude. It's a very light ivory that is the ultimate BP for NW10-15. It also feature a soft focus technology, but it is more subtle that FM - and thus slightly more elegant than FM.

I love both (FM and E) as an all-over, though you really run out fast when you use it daily. But there is certainly hope that 2013 will bring more pale BP.

Well, I absolutely LOVE FM and wish I would have purchased a backup. Instead, I'm using it as a "special occasions" powder. Kind of funny considering I almost did not purchase it in the first place! I wore it to my sister's wedding and love how my skin looks in the photos!

I don't know if this is of importance to anyone, but this was an outdoor wedding and it ended up blowing and raining right before the wedding started. Even with the awful weather that day, FM held up nicely.

You and your sister look beautiful!

In the interest of science (and OCD), I weighed my used FM and a brand new one.

Used is 57g total, new is 59g.

So I've used 2g of the 10g in 1 month, so they should last 5 months! (hypothetically)

I'm such a nerd.

Which Meteorites do you use? I might try that one too...

I bought Dragon Meteorites from the Christmas Collection this year but they lean a bit cool thats the only trouble.. I will be getting Teint Beige ones from permanent collection, they should be warm))
