I'm nervous that they'll never restock Whirls & Twirls and that I'll just be out of luck, but maybe I'm just being dramatic. Hopefully it'll just get sent in the next 2 weeks like they said it would

Unfortunately, that kind of thing happens regularly with MAC.

I went back to Macy's today to pick up a backup of Morning Frost PP. I never use PP as bases, rather alone or a primer base. Anyway, I tried the patina over the MF PP as a previous poster had used & really liked this particular PP as a base for browns.

I also got to try Snow Season as a highlighter, but it didnt work out. The color was great as a highlighter for my complexion, but man the glitter all over my face. I don't know how anyone else feels, but I'm really disappointed in Lightscapade. I'm not really getting any color payoff, just slight glitter. I get much better color & sheen payoff from Kevyn Aucoin's Candlelight. I'm still searching for my HG; maybe the BE Soul or Queen Phyllis or Becca's Pearl Shimmering Skin Perfector (all on my w/l for next year) will be it. I thought Snow Season might have been it, but too much glitter for a cheek highlighter.

To anyone who has both the original Lightscapade, please tell me how the color payoff & glitter differ from this repromote. I'd like to know as I may have an opportunity to swap for it. TIA!

I also applied Hold That Pose. The slight grey hue isn't a good compliment for my complexion, but in incandescent lighting you don't see the the grey component & it looks real nice. I couldn't justiiy buying as I have so many white & off white shadows & a dozen similar glitter- only pigments where I can use the e/s as a base & put the glitter on top for the same effect. If I were younger & it could sit in my drawer for 2 or 3 decades, yes, I would have bought it. :)

I cannot track my order of Whirls & Twirls l/s! I'm hoping that it'll come this week. I'm getting worried that I won't know when it comes.

I have learned to only buy what I know I am going use...that stops me buying things just because they look pretty in the pan. I used to buy piggies whenever they were launched but I soon realised that I didn't get much use out of the dark pigments so now I tend to get lighter shades. I also love particular products (mes, paint pots, piggies, bright lipsticks) so I tend to lean towards these products and only buy something else if it's extra special. Lastly, I tend to stick to colours that I know that suit me and it avoids buying that fabulous looking lime green shadow that I know I will never wear cause it doesn't suit me!

Oh I'm sorry to hear of all you ladies with back order notices - it completely sucks. I hope MAC comes through for you all! My Winterized has been despatched from Debenhams. Another item to ad the birthday pile. Oh well, at least my laptop should be back by then so I can do some FOTDs, thought by the beginning of Dec I doubt anyone will still be bothered lol!

Macy's has sold out of let's skate as well. Is there anybody in the us that knows their counter has it and is willing to cp for me? That would be awesome if someone could.

I just received my Macy's order containing my backups of Snowglobe and Let's Skate...and my Snowglobe was completely smashed to bits, I knew it as soon as I opened the bubble mailer and saw powder all over the inside

I hope that my local counter has some left so I can exchange it tomorrow.

I dont.. I have no control!

I try and stop myself by sticking with my wish list and if i get things after the collection order has come in...its normally because i have been on here looking at swatches!

I used Shimmermint over Hi def Cyan Chromaline as a base... amazing shimmering bluey green eye!!

I can't get Eloquent Air to work for me. Anybody have ideas what to layer this over? I look like icicles are frozen on my lip. I guess that's the idea but it does not look good over flesh colored lipstick, maybe over light pink or brown?

I would use eloquent air ONLY over cool toned lipsticks other wise the addition of a warmer tone will make it look gray.

Use over pinks (lightly) over purples, and even over a cool toned red to make them a frost. On its own its a very difficult color to wear. I would only wear it alone if and only if I was wearing a muted lip with lip balm and if my face is an "in yo face" face.
