MAC - Surf Baby Discussion

I was so sure I would get the pigment stacks, but now I don't know! Are they must have?

Nothing is really a must have unless you are going to use it IMHO. That said if you are going to pick up one of the stacks I would suggest the SURF THE OCEAN stack. I found the SUMMER STASH ok but nothing that particularly moved me.

Thanks sss215 & EngineerBarbie for the liner suggestions. I'm going to my counter this weekend to figure out which one I want. Chances are I'll come home with Boldly Bare and Chesnut, but I digress.

 

[Piarpreet]

that'd be cool keep me updated

I asked what was going on with my backorder and it's going to be shipped next week(after the holiday), so hopefully you'll get yours too!

Thanks. I think I am trying to convince myself I like the Summer Stash. Maybe I will just get Surf the Ocean.

[/quote] You could also check out Stripdown. I don't know about the color of your lips, but for me, it's the perfect liner to give my lips shape without changing the color that I'm wearing. I love Boldly Bare, also. I'm going to a Macys tomorrow to return this damn Summer Stash thing and a Mac is close by so I can return this Gilded White pencil. If the Mac store has Hibiscus in stock, I will buy another.

i hope ure feeling all right babylard.. that must have been a scary experience. i cant imagine how u must have felt. try and take it easy and let someone else drive for you over the next couple of days until you regain your confidence behind the wheel again..

 

[mtrimier]

ok. well. i was supposed to be checking out KK and swell baby and surf USA, but what did I do? start looking for lenses for one camera and then fooled around and got out of hand at target (and a favorite Japanese market. (um. helloooo umeshu for summer days!), and...dun dun duuuun...get sucked into another digital SLR style camera. sheesh. photography is an expensive habit. i shake my little fist at it..and this rolling pin

.

if anything is in stock ('cause i refuse to do anything else on MAC's site until i get backorder tracking info) i'll try again.

oh the problems of having a memory that is all of one minute long. le sigh.


back on topic, however, I wore Saffron (and just mascara) out today and lurrve this color! It was just a medium wash of color, but it made me really consider a backup.

I can see how some people are having pigmentation problems, though. I had to rub it with my brush a few times to get as much as I wanted, but otherwise it was a win for me. *girly spiiin!*

Does anyone have comparison swatches of Swell Baby and Bough Grey?

Thank you for your kind words. I think I will have someone else drive me for the next while.

I really like hibiscus with NYX orange lipliner underneath

 

[shontay07108]

I tried Hibiscus with 2 liners: Cherry by Mac and an #40 by Mufe(only at the Mufe boutique and Sephora studio). I love it with #40. Really brings out the orange. With Cherry, it's a bit too red and not as unique. Cherry liner is much better with Toxic Tale.

omg the scariest thing happened to me. I was parking at TD bank and I got so dizzy and lightheaded. I didn't know what I was doing and went over the bump and into the wooden fence
I feel terrible since it was my bf's car. there isn't any major damage except some fine lines and dirty scaffs, but the whole thing really shook me up and now I am so afraid to get behind the wheel again. why am I always so close to death? Q___Q I'm lucky this didn't happen while I was going 50 on normal roads. I was only trying to pay off my bill and grab some money for surf baby I feel terrible.......! I told him right away about it and he was very forgiving about it. My sister also told me that she would drive me if I was not feeling well. I recovered from heart failure 3 years back (I wrote about it on Specktra back then when I thought I was going to die). It is like I am doomed in life and I am only 23... sorry for being off topic..

anyway, I got to the mall and back home safely and got:
surf USA
hibiscus
my paradise - so pretty, I had to have it even though I never touched marine life. at least I can use the edge and keep the print intact since it is so thick.
careblend powder medium - I wear NC 20 but these run pretty light
prep n prime lash (HG!!)
a bunch of foundation samples from sephora (mufe face and body, mufe matte velvet, nars sheer glow) and that new "ultimate dual exfoliating face brush"
I also bought 4 pairs of shorts from sirens (buy 1 get 1 free)

I still want strange potion and short shorts... but surf USA is lovely. it does remind me of newly minted! I love vegas volt, exibitionist, ever hip, etc so I really love hibiscus. I already have perenial high style and pink lemonade, so do I still need strange potion (I skipped disney - don't shoot me)? Swell baby is really nice but so very similar to bough grey. I love greys.. but it is so redundant.

Sending you huge hugs! I'm so sorry you've gone through all that, and I'm sorry you ran into a fence. I'm just glad you're okay!

I was playing around with my goodies today and I noticed Saffron shows up much better on the eyelids then a hand swatch. So im satisfied with this color, so it wont be going back. Oh, wait I couldn't return it if I wanted to because I already depoted it !!!!

[/quote] :haha: See! I thought you had tried it out already. Sometimes, that's what it takes. Sometimes a crap swatch ends up looking fantastic when put to use and vice versa. Glad you're happy with it now.

Thank you soo much It makes my day to hear that. At least the fence was not a. made out of metal (it was wood) b. it was still intact when I backed out.. lol

Did anyone think that short short looks like dazzlelight?

[aradhana]

me too i think i prefer it to hibiscus...but i'm not sure because i also said i didn't care much for my paradise, and ended up going back and buying it!

 

[shadowaddict]

Shontay--The same thing happened to me with Macys a while back with Peacocky. I ordered two e/s and the ones that came were not the ones I ordered. I called and the guy said the barcode matched up to what I received and that it must have been put into their system wrong. He told me it would take a couple of weeks or so to sort out at the warehouse. I told him to forget it I would take them to the store and return them. In my case they had the ones I wanted so I was able to get them. It really sucks they can't get this corrected and that your was a sell out item.

Babylard--so sorry that happened to you. I'm glad you were not hurt and hope you will feel comfortable driving again soon.

 

[shontay07108]

At least I was able to order it from Mac. I was shocked to see that a few hours after I ordered, it was sold out again. :shock: I'm never shopping at Macy's again. It's just not acceptable.

 

[hoshiakari_]

Babylard, thank goodness you're okay!
I'm glad you enjoyed your haul, though.

Today I wore the minty shade from Surf the Ocean on my lid with Swell Baby on my crease and Push the Edge pigment on my lower lashline (with a Barry M. dust and lilac NYX e/s) and it was love.

 

[UrbanSweetheart]

I'm so happy you're safe Babylard! Please take it easy beautiful, and have fun with your new surf baby stuff ^_^
