MAC Glitter and Ice Discussion

Oh no, I just order those as my travel set...

So I finally washed my mineralze brushes, and they also turned green. You can see the dye coming off as you wash them. These are definitely going back.

FWIW, mine didn't bleed. Maybe yours wont..

Mine did too I can't send them back though as they have been used and you can return used cosmetics in the UK. Maybe they will stop after a few washes. I also lost so many hairs from the 187SE! I only did what I always do and swish them around in brush cleaner in my palm and then rinse...

I bought WAY more than I bought from TT >_<
I really love this collection more than I thought I would!

I have been pretty good with this collection, the only thing I ended up getting that wasnt on my wish list was the mineralized brush sets. I even did some xmas shopping in this collection for my best friend and got her shimmermint to go with her 210 & Black Track

 

[sinergy]

so all i got was what joy lipstick, glitter and ice and love alert dazzleglass. i wasnt impressed with much else =( sad day for me. lol.

 

[GlamQueen21]

Really? I bought more from TT than G&I this time. I will have to get more from this collection since I'm lemming Frozen Blue, How Beautiful, Morning Frost and possibly Such Flare.

I am loving this collection more and more each day. I tried She-Zam over Fun, Fun lippy and it was awesome. Yesterday I tried Lady Grey quad over For Effect PP and it was quite lovely. I even like For Effect PP without any shadow over it. I never wear naked paint pots. The glitter really behaves and did not end up all over like the PP from last years Champale did. If you are on the fence about For Effect, I recommend you snatch one up before they are gone.

I used got HB BP in the mail and thought it was gonna be too dark for my pale NW15 self, but it was just right. I am so glad I listed to you guys on this thread and got one.

I have not even tried Pleasure Principle yet. The hits just keep coming with the lovely collection. I wish I had more money, I would get everything.

Isn't it gorgeous, both as a very subtle bronzey glow or as a blush. I absolutely love this b/p.

 

[ahoythere]

I use it under all kinds of shadows but I am loving it under Winterized and Hold That Pose, it is the PERFECT base for those cool taupey colors. I love it under other shimmery taupes like Clue, Innuendo, Smoke & Diamonds, Shale, Satin Taupe, etc. It also looks great under purple pigments like Push the Edge, Bloodline, Deep Purple and Circa Plum. AND it is great under blues to neutralize them a bit. The fun never ends!

What shadows do you use it with? Or do you use it on its own? I bought it too, but other than doing a very simple eye with MF and a black winged liner it has been sadly neglected!

 

[Anneri]

Thank you for all the recs!

I'll definitely try the taupe and purple combo! I'm curious about the blue one as well, but blue is a bit tricky on me. Now I've to break out the PP finally! *cracks whip*

 

[HoneyMilk]

Me too! I don't have anything quite like it.

i wore glitter and ice dazzleglass over peachstock today. i think i love it.

 

[Piarpreet]

I dunno why but i cant pull off winterized... it just doesnt work for me I think it might be cos my eyes are green or cos my skin doesnt suit or whatever. But its not flattering at all... same with hold that pose its a total meh!

 

[PixieDancer]

Piarpreet - Oh no! I think the look you did with Winterized & Snow Season was beautiful! It was one of the reasons I picked up Winterized! Hope this isn't so girlie!
