MAC x Vera Neumann Discussion

I splurged and added Confetti and Butterfly Dream to my cart yesterday along with Wholesome f/l. I wanted On A Holiday, too, but it seems easier to find a sheer sparkly pink lipglass over a sheer purple and a sheer coral. I have Tour De Fabulous and Pink Lemonade, but they're more opaque than the plushglass formula. I can't wait to wear Confetti with Watch Me Simmer and Viva Glam Nicki

Oooh that's a good idea! I am wearing Butterfly Dream over Quick Sizzle right now and I love it. It doesn't really tone down the color on me, but it gives a nice effect and the slight plumping is nice too. I may pick up Confetti when I get Color Added, since I have Nicki and I'll have WMS whenever it decides to come back in stock. Butterfly Dream was my first plushglass and I really like it.

I also found a good look for Industrial. Today I wore Electra on the lid with Satellite Dreams in the crease and Nocturnelle in the outer V. I then did blacktrack as a liner and put Industrial over it on the upper lashline with just Industrial by itself as liner on the lower lashline. Then I used Sunday Afternoon as blush and finished with Violetta and Hot House on the lips. It's a pretty blue purple look overall, as Industrial shows up very blue on me.

So far, I'm loving Flower Fantasy! I was afraid that it might be too frosty, but it's actually not. It gives a high sheen finish, which is not at all overwhelming.

I just ordered this! Can't wait to get my hands on it ^_^
I hope it shows up well on my NC40 skin

*Sigh*... I was going to skip (I already have the Pearlglides I want from an earlier release), but now I'm feeling like I need not one but BOTH of the Pearlmattes. Anyone wanna talk me out of it?

...

... Not likely, here! haha

 

[lyseD]

I actually got talked into both and am happy I did. You won't regret them -- they are so gorgeous.

i need to keep saying to myself that i do not need any of the plushglass glosses... they don't have much colour and the jacked up price isn't worth it.... but they look so freaking pretty in the tube!

I was gonna skip them both too...until I saw swatches and read all the rave reviews here

 

[BabysOnFire]

Ok, I suppose I'm getting both, then! I'm a sucker for pretty, "glowy-without-being-glittery" cheek stuff!

I'm an NC30/35 and the color shows up really well on my skin tone. I'm pretty sure it'll work as a blush for you too.

Sunday Afternoon is the only thing I picked up from this collection. It looked pretty cool in the pan so I really didn't think I'd like it more than Flower Fantasy. It was a nice surprise though! I've been wearing it all week and getting tons of compliments

I really wanted to grab Flower Fantasy as well, but even on my NC25 skin, it barely showed up for some reason. Looked like more of a highlighter...which I don't need more of. Totally fine by me though...I just put that money towards grabbing another Sunday Afternoon. >

I've been using mine a ton - they've got good pigmentation, but like cremesheen glasses, they don't photograph as well as they look in person. I think the pink and purple (and the coral too, which I didn't get) are all the perfect way to wear a bright lip this spring if you don't want the mega-neon look.

 

[singer82]

I have the pink one and youll love these Lou! They give such a pretty glow to us pale beauties.

 

[singer82]

I'm loving the Butterfly Party stack! Using them wet over shadows gives a glow to the lids. The colors are right up my alley!

Some of you asked a few pages back about pressing the crushed metal pigments. I finally got a chance to do mine and wanted to share. They came out VERY well, and just used 91% alcohol with the pigments to press.

Fourth row: Surf The Ocean ( Even that melted, balled up gold pressed well) LOL!!!

[Baby1black]

Wow that is great. I need to learn how to do that. Are u finding application easier with them pressed. I defiantly need to press that golden glob from STO.

 

[PixieDancer]

Wow! That looks so nice and neat! I'm wondering about the application as well?? Do they apply better/easier after pressing?
Thanks for sharing!!

Yes, the application is MUCH easier in pressed form for me. They do swatch the same as they do pressed vs. in the pot.
I see no difference, but I took some fast swatches tonight for you gals.

ooo thanks for posting!

What did you use to press them down? and how much product was left over after pressing?
