[lyseD]

My SA said they have it all but it isn't launching today -- thank goodness since I have no MAC money left until January.

I didn't see this collection at Bloomies today. I forgot to ask though. I want to try the fluid line. Maybe I'll just order it.

It isn't out yet.

It isn't out yet.

Good to know. I will definitely order it then. I can't wait to try the Fluidline for brows.

I wonder if the Fluidline Brow Gelcremes can be used as bases and eyeliners too.

Is the texture different from fluidlines?

 

[GucciGirl]

I think they are a little softer as far as the texture/consistency.

That was how the one i tested - Dirty Blonde - seemed to me - softer than the usual Fluidline eyeliners.

 

[MACina]

Thank you!

Maybe I will get one to use it as a base.I don' t have brown Paint Pots and I think that they might make
pretty bases for several eyeshadows (e.g. for purples).

Most brow products aren't tested safe for use on the eyes. Just an fyi hun.

 

[MACina]

Thank you so much!

I did not know that and should better stay away from them.

I just got my Brow Fluidline (Deep Dark Brunette) in the mail and my 208 brush! I tested it out and it looks awesome!!

It's nowhere near the pigmentation of a regular fluidline which I think helps with making it look really natural on the brows. It's also not fully brown. I could see some hints of gray which I love. These really should be permanent, because it makes no sense to have a product that many may view as a necessity LE. It looks good alone, but I set it with a very light hand over powder and it doesn't budge.

I'm guessing that these are gonna fly off the shelves, what with the carved brow trend and all. Then they'll bring them back perm.

Fingers crossed!
I'm in no hurry though. The pot looks like it'll last me a while. No BU for me.

I got a BU just in case.

It may be longer than 2 months. I never pay attention to how long my stuff lasts. They do. Water-, smudge- and sweat-proof. Go with dirty blonde. I got dirty blonde and i use lingering.

I am dying to see Dirty Blonde swatches! Do you know of any links to swatches?

 

[VampyCouture]

I'm going to see how I like it after a week's wear. I'm trying to minimize the amount of backups I have, because it's getting way out of hand! lol

I got to try everything out yesterday and the pencils + spoolie and the f/ls are really nice, with very modern colors and good quality.

The only issue for me is that I have very dark, full brows, so even the darkest color was a little light brown for me, and gave the effect that I had browner brows than I really do - I know it's a look that's in style right now, and it was attractive, but it's something I'd have to get used to. If there had been a deep color with a more dark auburn effect, sort of like Dark Diversion but more natural, I would have been completely thrilled.

I'll probably still pick up both the pencil and the f/l in deep dark brunette, because the products themselves are really nice - no smudging, smearing or fading until I took it all off 8+ hours later and easy to work with. 'Gotta move with the times, even with my eye brows!
