MAC Glitter and Ice Discussion

[EngineerBarbie]

Last swatches for the night as I'm about to collapse into bed.

These are on NW43 skin. And I swatch heavily because I'm a gal that loves color. Swatches are from the bottom to top as: alone, over MAC Mixing Medium (shine) and Luna CCB

Shimmermint (AKA Fall Out Girl

)




Snow Season (so gorgeous!!!)



Fresh Ice





Frozen Blue

I told you!
BTW, HAS anyone who has seen How Beautiful BP that can compare it to By Candlelight and other lighter, bronzier MSF's??? I know it is my third time asking, but I am trying to rule it in or out B4 it sells out...

How Beautiful has a completely different finish to By Candlelight or any other MSF. It's much less frosty/shimmery and more subtle. HB's going to look pretty natural on almost everybody. On me it's a bronzer, on some it will be a highlight, but it's a soft, natural shade.

It is beautiful isn't it! Almost like P&Ps elegant soft focus angelic grown up sister

HB Beauty Powder is so so pretty too very lightly dusted over it too. If you look at the Victoria's Secret models they all use this type of warmth to highlight very sheerly over their makeup.

Hope kitty is on the mend!

That's an excellent description, actually!

And thanks to everyone for the well-wishes for Seth. He is doing a bit better. Mummy and Daddy's nerves are still kind of shot, though.

Oooops... Still getting the hang of this! New here!
The pic above is What Joy! with Dressed to Dazzle layered on top. As I mentioned before... Dressed to Dazzle is LOVEEEE! Looks awesome over EVERY lipstick I've tried it with!

What Joy! looks so FAB on you!! I don't need another berry lipstick. I don't need another berry lipstick... AGH! Why must I be so addicted to lovely cosmetics!!?

 

[internetchick]

Those of you loving your brush sets are making me think I should have gotten more than just the Mineralize.

 

[PixieDancer]

Thanks so much beckyjo! I usually play it safe with the lip color, I'm more of an eyeshadow girl. But I was feeling in the mood to try a new berry lippie for the cooler weather and figured I'd get the lovely packaging as a bonus! If you're even close to losing your will... This one is a beauty.

Snow Season MES






Snow Season Swatched three ways L-R: regular/no base, foiled (wet) with no base, swatched over TF glitter primer
Mine had more veining than the store's sample but I didn't notice a color difference. I could use this as a h/l too...




Snow Globe BP


this is how lightly it swatched on my NC20ish skin...well, its a little bit more obvious in real life, but this is all the camera picks up



Sultry e/s Palette:

Pic of the packaging for this



The only color thats a dud imo is the light pink (lightfully)...just swatches as glitter on me. For me the palette is still worth it since I don't own any of the e/s in the palette.



Sorry my swatches are kinda messy and washed out (bad lighting)...lightfully is not included because it would not show up, basically :-/

Top Swatch is the only matte (SO PRETTY!) color: Shadowy Lady
L-R: Festive Delight, Trax, Black Tied, and Fun!




What Joy l/s



L-R: What Joy!, Rebel

 

[ElvenEyes]

Just ordered round two! All three paint pots, Whirls and Twirls l/s and Such Flare l/s. Piece by piece I hope to get everything I want!

 

[LiLBeautyBarbie]

OMG! the swatches look amazing I was kinda scared cause I ordered so much but now I think I'm going to like everything! Package coming tomorrow!!!

 

[Jennifae]

I caved and ordered For Effect. I already got Let's Skate and Morning Frost... just couldn't leave out For Effect for some reason. The swatches I've seen look beautiful.

 

[openexpression]

I picked up the 2 items that were must haves for me: Shimmermint and For Effect. For Effect is absolutely gorgeous and really made Shimmermint pop! It has the most gorgeous multi-colored glitter ever. I can't wait to use For Effect with Cinderfella, Young Punk, She Who Dares, and my BB Black Sparkle e/s

. I also love Shimmermint and did not get the fall out that a lot of people have mentioned. Mine is rich in color and wonderful. I asked the MA to let me see all that they had in stock (8) and I chose the most varied one. Like others have said. the combo of Shimmermint and For Effect is to die for. Here is a pic of my Shimmermint:
