MAC Art of the Eye Collection (May 2013)

[bobbiedoll03]

Any swatches of Banafsaji on NC45 or darker skin tones????

 

[Copperhead]

HAHA! I won once. I won MAC 167SH, Crew highlight powder, and Launch Away blush. She ended up having to send me Marine Life because she had misplaced crew or something but she was extremely prompt and shipped out like asap.

That is so cool bobbiedoll03! Thanks for sharing. I would be excited to win something from her one day.

i actually passed on the quad since shroom and soft brown are perm, and figured one of the colours from nars surabaya was similar enough to beautyburst....as for the grey brown, i think there are several siilar shades out there that i own...so pretty but gotta stay strong!

Likewise---and I have both S & SB. If it were just duplicating one e/s that I already have I wouldn't mind----but two just wasn't worth it for me. Otherwise it would have been mine.

Rimal Dahabia quad
l to r:
shroom, soft brown, beauty burst, najm el lail
I'll be sending this back. nothing unique about it, although I really like beauty burst, it's not worth it. the darkest color is really patchy as well.
anyone know of dupes for beauty burst?

I was tempted to get the brown quad, primarily because of Beauty Burst, but since I already have Shroom and Soft Brown, and Temptalia's review likens the darket shade to Diamond Dove (which I have), I can't justify buying the quad for just one shade.

Yes, this one should have been the AAO shadow.  But I had to have it b/c, finally, an orange I love with great finish and pigmentation.  I have never ordered from them, how is the Customer Service and shipping/handling service and wait times???  They have such pretty colors I get overwhelmed (and a little overstimulated actually, like eating too much Halloween candy) just looking at all the pretteh colors...

Sugarpill has great customer service. They ship quickly too. I own 4 pressed e/s and 3 loose e/s. They are awesome I have been feigning for their Heartbreaker palette FOREVER but put it off for MAC-lol.

Thanks for the swatches, Leah. How well does Soft Brown work on medium brown skin? I've never tried Shroom and Soft Brown before so I'm not sure if they're really necessary or not.

no prob...
I actually haven't used it before, I usually use texture or saddle in the crease, but sometimes, depending on the day, they give a tad bit too much color.
I think it'll work very well as a crease/blending color. my friend, who's about an NC 43-44 uses it all the time.

 

[MissTT]

Thanks. I need to pick up Texture. A MUA used it on me in a fab look, but I've been able to generally recreate it using my UD Naked palette.

My Parrot just arrived. I love it as much as I expected and had nothing like it.

I've been playing with my eyeshadows, and I am going to return Hajar Karim. It is so hard to get it to apply and to blend well. It went on quite patchy. Too bad, because in the pan it is such a pretty green.

 

[MissTT]

Ruh roh! Mine's out for delivery so they should be dropping it off soon. I hope it's okay.

I have been checking their facebook page pretty frequently and they just posted not too long ago that they had one pigment for one shadow that was holding the whole thing up. She said they are expecting to release both the sparkle baby and the cold chemistry palettes this summer. Hopefully not too much longer.

I love Sugarpill...I have Bulletproof e/s and it is the only black e/s I have ever found that didn't irritate my eyes (carbon, nyx black,

). There e/s do not contain carmine which I am allergic too it appears...I am sure I have some other e/s in my collection I am allergic too as well. Sugarpill is in Berkeley and I am in the south bay so I received my order in two days. They need more colors! Also I wish Mac would list all the ingredients on their website. I am taking a risk with Parrot and Daydreaming that I won't have a problem.

If they had sold Beauty Burst as a single I would have bought it for sure. I also already have shroom and soft brown.

Oh no that was the only single e/s I got

This!

I'd love to see them do a nude quad along the lines of UD Naked Basics

I know it's not their style, but a girl can dream eh?

If the Inderal doesn't work, Topamax is the next one to try. And yes, it's an anti-seizure med. The Inderal was a good option to try first cuz my resting pulse is normally 100-120, so this is lowering it nicely to around 85-95. So far i haven't had a normal daily headache and I've been on it for 4 days. And the weather has been rainy, dreary, overcast yuckiness, so that's saying something!

Sorry to bring up an old post but I didn't see this.
I got all of the side effects from Maxalt like I did with Imitrex.

im trying to resist the urge to get banafsaji...i have so many shadows that i do no wear at all already, but this color is gorgeous and veluxe pearls are my favorite finish!

me too!!!

Oh ok. Thanks! So far so good on the new meds. Haven't had a migraine, or daily headache, since I've been on them, so no need for the maxalt yet.

I'm skipping the quads. I don't care for reddish browns. I have shroom and don't use it and softbrown is only ok on me. So far the only browns I like from MAC are espresso and saddle ( i know its a red brown too, but not as bad as the one in the quad)
They should've just brought back the mickey contractor quad and collex. ;-)
