MAC Holiday 2012 Glamour Daze / Fabulousness / Guilty Passions Collection Discussion - Page 186

I ended up buying a Natural Flirt when I went to pick up Stolen Moment which might just be one of my favourite e/s ever. LOVE it.

Whick parcel forwarder did you use? Where did you get the MAC from? I want to get some items, and even with the fees I should still save at least $100. I am not prepared to pay rip-off Australian prices!. The brush sets will be $99 - they've got to be joking

Got my goodies! Good news and bad news...
-Outrageously Fun is so pretty! Its different enough from Playtime and Naughty Saute to warrant having all 3. Its pink with fuschia and a slight purple hue on me.
-Ready To Party is so awesome! Its just what I was hoping it would be. It's a purple version of my beloved Young Venus!
-Little Black Bow. I got 3 fluidlines open so I won't be opening it just yet. Hope I like it.
- Viva Glam bag. I can always use a lip conditioner so I like that. Finally got viva glam Nicki. At first I didn't like it on me. But I put it full on at first. So did the dab and smoosh, looks so much better that way! Plus I love to get something viva glam holiday every year.

Now for the bad...
- Beauty. BLAH! I thought for sure I'd love it, but wow! Ok, so I'm super pale and it's even too light for me! It goes on very patchy! It puts a nasty white line on my top lip. I really tried to make it work. I did what I do with my matte lippies, exfoliate, moisturize, and prep and prime,liner, and it STILL didn't work. It and Mlle have to be the worst lippies I've ever tried.
-Mystery. Its not bad, but I took feline and put the green mega metal (Ego) over it and it was better than just Mystery by itself.
So I'll be sending them back and getting a refund or exchanging them.

I am sure that this question has been asked/answered before. I apologize for not going back and searching this thread for the answer, but it would take me days to find it so I am going to just ask it again....

What brush works best with the EDSF's? I have been using my fan brush, but I am not noticing much in the way of a highlight. TIA

I'm feeling the same way ,  shame its sold out online :(  I would be very tempted to back up.

Dude! Just found the perfect combo. Outrageously Fun and Summer Shower. It's pure sex! Lol If you have SS, try it!

 i dont have it , im planing a visit to the cco. i hope i can find it. 

To all the lovely specktra on the east coast We wish u be safe with hurricane sandy. We are thinking about u all. Shontay let us know if u r fine once this is over and Tc.

I'm also sending positive thoughts and well wishes to those affected by Sandy. I hope all goes well and there are no incidents be it living or cosmetic. Good luck east coasters and let us know how you fared once your able to.

Thank you. I live in long island but around my area there hasnt been flooding thank goodness. A tree fell in front of my house and the tree in my back yard is slowing falling it seems but hopefully that is all for this hurricane but supposedly around midnight itll get worse

 

 

       thanks!

 

      no flooding where i live too. just crazy trees. im not going to sleep, there are too many huge trees around my house. 

Be safe all the New York peeps. You are in my thoughts and prayers

Thoughts going out to all the Specktrettes on the East Coast! Stay safe 

 

 

 

 

Geez!!   Hopefully not so close that it will hit your house. I've seen some pics online and tv and Sandy is definitely one evil bitch. Stay safe.

 

 

To all of you guys in her path my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

The tree is not close but Unfortunately its humongous and so tall that if it falls towards the house itll crash onto my room and my parents room. So im sleeping in the living room just in case.
My dad works for the mta and hes been stuck at work since yesterday (sunday ) at 6 am. Smh

I cant sleep either. We're also surrounded by trees. So annoying i keep getting up and lookin out the window everytime i hear a loud noise

I use the Mac 188

Hopefully you'll get through the night. TC and be safe

My Final Haul was:

 

Pink Fade l/g

Whisper of Guilt msf

I'm the One blush

Outrageously Fun l/s

Everything that Glitters n/p

Talk Softly to Me l/g

 

I already had Raven, Mystery, and Feline e/k. I HATED the formula of the fluidlines, so I skipped those. I'm thinking about returning Pink Fade and Outrageously Fun. They just don't do anything for me!

I ordered Impossibly sweet from bloomies it says its shipping on 11/5 tho so hopefully I will get it I hate paying shipping tho but.... I had to have it!! now I'm done! well....once I get my lavish rosé set THEN I'm done and onto The other collections but sadly I spent so much money on this one I won't be able to buy everything I want from TT or Après Chic or Strength ;(

gosh what's wrong with me?! focusing on what I don't have yet I stead of everything I just purchased!! I'm mental

 

I love using the 130 for my EDSF!!

 

 

I didn't even think of this combo!  Not that I've had much time to play with my GD items this past weekend, but omg, totally trying this tomorrow!!!

 

 

RE: Hurricane Sandy... For those of you who have trees around your home, I'm in the same boat!  We live in a second floor apartment (top floor) and there are LOTS of trees around.  It's the batch of oaks right in front of our place that concerns us the most because if any of them come down in our direction, we're pretty much screwed.  Depending on which tree, it could crash into our living room or our bedroom.  But considering we haven't lost power or cable (just the internet has been on and off), and looking outside all I see is a couple of small-medium branches that came off trees, I'm hoping it's not getting bad enough in our area to really be a concern.  I know it's REALLY bad out there for others right now though, especially those of you who live by the water.  Stay safe, everyone!!!

There is so much going on in Manhattan it's crazy I didn't think the storm would be this bad because NYC doesn't usually get hit like this smh.

Take care to all those on the east coast! Hope everyone is safe and that you all get your goodies when Sandy finally passes!

 

p.s. EDSF Superb is now sold out on the US website. i have a feeling they will restock soon too!

I'm tempted to get the pink set as well. I might be a crazy one, but I haven't hauled anything from this collection. I know, I know! I have to be very choosy after I spent a lot on the Marilyn collection! Let's see if the pink set will come home with me. 

 

 

Yes, more swatches please!   I have to see more swatches before I make a decision.

 

Christine said Heart to Heart is very closed to Watch Me Simmer. Does anyone have both? Could you swatch them side by side?  TIA!!

Bloomies online still has Impossibly Sweet ... but I don't know if they charge for postage or not?

 

linainoz, I use Lyka from Parcel It On www.parceliton.com.au ... she is FANTASTIC!! I have used her at least 7 times now, and just recently for the Marilyn collection. For parcel forwarding I think it's $15 regardless of how many packages you get sent to her ($2.50 for package consolidation, like if you order a few packages she will pack them together), then there's a 3.9% admin charge then postage. Works out to be half the price of what you would pay in Australia, and that's including postage and the mail forwarding fees etc! She can even do custom purchases for you or use her c/c to buy from the MAC site. Amazing!

 

I know, the Australian prices are horrible!! $36 for one lipstick is outrageous in my opinion.

Thinking of everyone affected by Sandy...stay safe!

I have to try this combo....sounds awesome!!!

Singer...I am sorry that Beauty did not work for you

Hope everybody is safe!  Thankfully it's not so bad here atm, just some rain and a little bit of wind, I was all prepared for the power to go out for a few days.

 

On topic...why do I feel like I need another Outrageously Fun?  It's so pretty and I usually don't wear colors like it, but it's sold out everywhere online.

Yes Yes what company do you use? I have been looking into some and not sure which is best
