MAC Art of the Eye Collection (May 2013)

[MACina]

That sounds very pretty

I paired it with it with Scene on the lid, Phloof on the brow, Carbon to darken the outter corner, and then I took Parrot up from the Crease all the way up. I used grey eyeliner (marked for glamour) as a liner. I liked this, it really allowed the Parrot to stand out against all the grey/neutrals. It would work pretty paired with yellows also.

Late to the game but I already own Parrot and UK is sold out so no BU for me, but I bought Banafsaji, Hajar Karim and Gameela. I'd have bought Farasha but again, UK is sold out. I'm excited, but I wish I knew how to pronounce them all properly.

Think I may cave... and grab it.. here we go again lol.

I decided to get parrot and Banafsaji too at months end lol I've started opening my packages before coming home to avoid the "another black box?" comments lol

They're mostly pronounced how they look:
-- ban-af-sa-JEE - means "violet", both the color and the flower (all unaccented vowels except the last);
-- ha-jar ka-REEM - means "Precious Stone" / "Jewel" / "Gem" (all unaccented vowels except the last);
-- fa-RA-sha - means "butterfly";
-- Gameela is an exception to "pronounce as it looks" - it's usually ja-MEE-la - means "beautiful" and is also a girl's name.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

I really, really wish I'd managed to get Farasha. It's such a gorgeous orange. Does anyone know of a colour similar to it?

 

[MACina]

Thank you very much, lilinah

I too was wondering how to pronounce the names.

Every time i try to remember the name of the Rimal Dihabia quad my brain tries to tell me that it is really called the Raul Julia quad.

lilinah thank you, I'm wondering how to say Banafsaji from ages!

I bought a backup of Parrot. I didn't need it, but I still recall the feeling I had when I missed it the first time around, so I was hot on it the first comeback, and reflexively bought another this time.

I'm considering getting a BU of Parrot too for the same reason.

 

[PeachTwist]

If anyone has a BU of Farasha they don't want or Parrot (I know, slim chance!), please keep me in mind. Thanks.

I skipped Parrot (despite the fact I found it GORGEOUS, seriously) because I've got tons of shades like him... I used one of them with Banafsaji recently and they work together beautifully <3

 

[MACina]

That is really a lovely combo

 

[PeachTwist]

Sounds gorgeous! I'll be doing this when my Banafsaji arrives. It should've been here today but the mail man isn't being my friend and making me wait!

 

[Misato-san]

I was talking about this look (I posted it in the Temperature Rising thread because I've got Feel my pulse on lips), but I experimented more... I love Banafsaji also with Cool Heat *_*

That's gorgeous! Bah, I missed Cool Heat unfortunately. I do have a bunch of other blues thankfully but ah, one day I'll get my hands on CH.
