No smudging, no fading!!! Amazing! And GPSs are my absolute favorite!!!!! 98% of the time I wear a smokey look. GPSs are amazing at creating that effect!!! I buy a lot of makeup and a lot of them get ignored, but with GPSs, they are something I will always use and NEVER abandon!!!

Like you these are the first one's I've ever owned too. I ALWAYS wear pigments but when I saw these in the dark/smokey colors I had to try them and glad I did. My eyes are very sensitive to most regular e/y that are highly pigmented (except for pigments). MAC Pigments or my line of loose shadows are the only type of shadows I can wear that dont bother my skin/eyes. I was thrilled to find out the GPS's don't bother my skin (or if they do it's very little).

I hadn't repaired my glasses, so basically I wasn't able to use my comp since last week- AND I HAVEN'T BEEN WEARING MAKEUP IN A WEEK (afraid of using eye makeup due to my eye)!!!!!!! . I went to the docs, and although my eye is still bothering me a bit, I at least had my glasses repaired lol. So now back to Specktra I go!!!!!!!! I MISSSSSSS talking about the collections (and wearing them, too lol)!!!!! I also wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU for all the birthday wishes!!!!! I wasn't able to read them until now, even though it was like a month away lol, but reading them all just put such a smile on my face- considering all that's been going on right now, that smile was MUCH needed! So I just wanted to say Thank you so much again, that was very sweet of you all!!!!!! Oh, and I wanted to mention, I DID get all my goodies from my Art Supplies bday wishlist

Oh!! I'm so sad to know you went through all that!!

Hope you're feeling better!!

On the other hand, I'm so glad you got your bday wishlist!! Hope you're enjoying it and you've got to spend a great bday!!

I'd love a nude one!! Please MAC??

I love when MAC does innovative products like these...

You're not weird hun, this is my fave collection of the year too!! Nothing excited my this much since Style Black!!

I seriously love my GPSs!!

This sounds amazing

 

[Notorious19]

Lately I've been wearing Petrol Blue on my upper and lower lash lines and Chocolate Brown pigment...definitely a new staple look for me!

I love it with Birds & Berries or Blue Sorcery MES.

I also like to do a bronze eye and then use this just on my lower lashline for a pop of colour. I've worn Undercurrent with the Colour 4 quad from SCF. I also like it with Woodwinked.

I bought 3 GPS' Dirty, Slick Black and Charred Mauve. Dirty and Slick Black are awesome and really smooth. Charred Mauve is kind of weird... it's like it creases in areas when I swatch. I haven't used it on my eyes yet for this reason.

Anyone else experience this?

I did a grey smokey eye (with Illamasqua's 'Matter' shadow) with Reflects Transparent Teal over the whole lid, then undercurrent on the lower lash line with a dark grey Barry M eyeliner on the waterline - and I loved it

 

[Hypathya]

Today I'm wearing a smokey eye with Dirty as a base and Carbon, Smoke & Diamonds, Ylang (Chanel)!! Really sexy!!

I'm sooo glad I could get my Art Supplies!!

Did anybody else get a allergic reaction to the pearlglides?

OMG yes I did! Undercurrent tore my poor little eyes up. The older pearlglides dont bother me at all though.

I also have Blackline from this collection but I am terrified to try it

 

[GlamQueen21]

I need about two backups of Undercurrent p/g since it looks gorgeous with teal looks (i.e I have done a look using Golden Lemon p/g on the inner corner, Teal p/g on the outer, Evening Aura e/s in the crease, Parrot on the outer crease, Cool Heat e/s on the outer V and Sand & Sun e/s as highlight along with Hoppin' e/s! So gorgeous!!!)

 

[Hypathya]

^ Gorgeous!!!

 

[Anneri]

Today I was really unhappy with a look I used Undercurrent with (Silverthorn all over the lid, Blue green piggie in the crease), because I wanted something bluer and darker.
On a whim, I put Designer Purple over Undercurrent - and wham! such a gorgeous indigo colour!
Sometimes it pays off not to give up on a look and just to keep playing around.

this sounds like a lovely look! and great advice too!

i thought of this collection earlier actually because i saw on the revlon us website that they are doing lip stains again! but this time in pen form like these ones however revlon have put what looks like a balm on one end. they look interesting!

 

[Anneri]

Thanks Lou!

I was never really happy with MAC's lip stains - they didn't work for me. Definitely not longlasting!
Maybe I'll take a look at the Revlon ones if they have them over here.
