MAC - Flighty Discussion

[MACina]

Thank you so much for sharing you experience with them!
I am getting more and more sure that I will not any....maybe not even one to try.
That sounds so disappointing....


But the colored mscaras are definitely on my list!
Especially the grey one.

I got to see these shadows today and they creased so badly on me and were hard to work with. They are really creamy, like if you tipped the container, it would slide right out. Colors are VERY pretty but didn't work well on unprimed eyes or with the P+P eye. They do look better on top of eye shadows, though. I'm looking forward to trying them out and seeing if I could get them to work for me. They are definitely NOT like MUFE Aqua Creams, they are very sheer.

I'm more excited about the colored Zoom Lash since I hated the ones from WW (I am not an Opulash fan).

I like cream eye shadows for quick colour washes. Some can be really nice. I don't know if anyone here remembers or heard of them but Lush used to have a sister company called B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful (stupid name) and they did cream eye shadows in tubes. They had a little brush in them to apply them with. They were nice, didn't usually crease on me except by the time I got home after being out/at work all day. The only thing was, the brushes were awful, they were all cut at different lengths and some were really stiff. The eye shadow itself also ended up drying out pretty quickly and going gloopy, some were dry when they were first bought! I still have some mini versions of them and a lot of them are unusable. They were quite expensive for what they were too, hopefully the MAC ones are good. I might get 1 or 2 depending on what they are like but I would worry about how long the products will last in their pots. I wish they were Paint Pots, I love those things.

I think it depends on what you have underneath. The reason I suggested putting them on top is because a girl I work with did that and the purple bounce e/s looked awesome on her. I suppose YMMV on these shadows but honestly, I think everyone should at least test them out in the store because they feel really cool, literally, when you put it on. It feels like you are putting a liquid last liner on your eye, it's really kind of neat.

The colors are so pretty and I hope to be able to make them work. Some worked on people, some didn't but I tried one with a brush and one with my finger and you definitely need a brush to put them on to get the most coverage.

LM, thank you for the compliment on my kitty! That's my baby boy, well not really a baby anymore since he and his sister will be 8 this year. They are Sphynx cats, believe it or not. Their mom and dad don't have any hair but these two ended up with it.

I feel like these are NYX jumbo sticks in a Mac glass jar. I can't do the jumbo sticks and anything creamier than a paintpot doesn't work on me. The two MUFE aqua creams that I have are a touch to creamy but work without creasing so anything creamier than MUFE is a no go. Money saved b/c I do want one of those Armani creams and one of the powder eyeshadows.

Unless the reviews change and after I get to play with them myself, I am all for skipping.

ITA. That's why I am going to get these*** instead and skip the cream e/s. Or just experiment with some MUFE ones instead (I think more affordable and more colorful than the Armani ones)

Been hearing good things about them too. But I don't use the shadesticks that I have so I have been ignoring these tempting sticks.

I'm hoping to get a grey mascara and a purple one. I'm considering the blue also since it's been a long time since I've had a good blue mascara.
Not sure though. None of the shadows for me. I am waiting until Semi Precious & the Fall/Winter collections to stock up on shadows.

 

[Prettypackages]

that would be so awesome... these colors are so pretty, are they going to be permanent.

this collection would have been so much better if it was paintpots instead. i would have bought so many

 

[TeresitaMC]

paparazzi boy said they are not.

 

[LMD84]

yup so if you do want some grab them while you can

These are featured in May's Allure magazine, they're promoting the copper (Up the Ante) & purple one (Luxury Touch) in the front (pg 44) as 1-sweep sexy for your eyes & the blue one (Free as Air) in the back as part of spring flower shades- they have the blue smudged all around the eye, pass the crease & under the eye paired with pink cheeks & lips (the other 2 looks are orange lips with highlighter shaded eyes/cheeks; and all-lavender eyes with lilac lips)

I went to the local store today and asked about these and if they did crease as I had read...Sad news: Yes they do, the MA's were clueless as to why MAC would release a sheer product that creases so badly...They said they didn't see a point in the sheerness or that it is extra creamy...one of them mentioned that while trying to simulate what usually happens at counters/stores when testers fall, this product went everywhere like somebody had just spilled water on the floor!

So money saved

Another collection I won't have to worry about

 

[MACina]

Thank you for this information!

Now I am really sure that I will not get any of these!!!

And I totally agree with the MA`s....why does MAC release such a poor product?
