MAC Temperature Rising Collection (May 2013)

[Yazmin]

Yay to all the fellow blush whores!

They are my weakness... Blush whores unite!

Not yet a blush whore but no virgin either.

I went to the store today and swatched the BMS quad. So disappointed. I wanted to believe that it had just been swatched too many times but I doubt it. The green, which was my main reason for wanting it, didn't show up at all. Did anyone else have a problem with it? I may just save up for Night Porter from Nars instead.

The green, When in Rio, is the most pigmented out of them all. It may just have oils built up on the tester from people swatching it.

It's definitely from everyone having their fingers up in them to swatch. I always grab a tissue and remove the top layer - I get a better swatch that way.

Went back to the counter to check out Caliente and Underdressed again. I couldn't get past the glitter...it's too much for me, plus I could feel it. Walked away with nothing. Final Haul BMS FMP HN RFL Golden Elixir ...I'll get a BU next week

It definitely takes practice. You just have to find the right tool and the right shape of wing for your eye.

I am curious as to what you use to do your winged eyeliner. Please, do tell...

I was initially going to pass on Caliente but at the last minute threw it into my haul and LOVE IT!!!

Oh just wait. We'll whore you right up! :haha:

I use a 266 or 263 and blacktrack. Line my top lashline, add my flick, and connect. Then i take a 212 with fast response and use it to clean up the bottom edge. It helps pull the liner out to a faded tip, like this

 [COLOR=800080]today that I want to share...So I went to check out the bronzers at the pro counter and asked to see how refined golden would look on my skin...would you believe he proceeded to put the brush (which he borrowed from another SA ) into the bronzer ( not once cleaning/sanitize the bronzer) and the Bahamian in me just came out!! i was like "Sweet boy you didn't clean that and i don't know who face dat goin on." He reply "was someone putting their fingers in it?" Y'ALLLLLL i nearly walked out!!! Only cause my girl Erica walk in and say hi to me i didn't leave right then. Please watch these ppl when y'all wanna get stuff applied and make sure they sanitize!! [/COLOR]

I can just hear the island gyal speak! That's a mess...I'm glad you noticed before he started putting that on your face! I'll keep my eyes peeled every time I go now!

I feel like I need to build my blush count up based on you ladies. I only have 4 MAC blushes and a 10 palette blush set that I never use.

 

[Monsy]

Another blush whore here. I am afraid to count

 

[Ashleybubbles83]

Caliente and Sheer Seduction are gorgeous in person! I can't wait for the rest of my haul to arrive!

 

[allthingsglam]

What is everybody top 3 blushes.mines are nars exhibit a,nars liberte,and mac supernova I love all three.o and Estée Lauder fearless is a close runner up I love that blush

 

[Monsy]

[MACina]

..............YES!!!!

Blush whores unite!

 

[Yazmin]

Buy me a drink first? I might be more compliant that way.

I'm alternating between angled brushes like the 266 and 263 and fine liner brushes from Laura Mercier and Louise Young to find the one I like best. That and trying to keep the oil in the outer corners at bay so that I can keep my wings throughout the day.

 

[MACina]

STUNNING, Erine

 

[MACina]

Me neither

I will just enjoy all my goodies

Well I know for SURE I am

Nope, not even going to try to count my blushes...or lipsticks

But yes, I feel the exact same way about blushes!

 

[Shellcat]

Sorry about your experience there. I would have done the same thing!!!

Speaking of Erica, she is the BOMB!

She helped me with my phone order for the Nudes & Metallics Collection. Then helped my friends Spikesmom and Pixiedancer get their orders placed.

Erica totally ROCKS!!!

Have you tried a gel primer underneath, like mac matte or monistat gel? You can use either or as well for cleanup instead of FRE. That along with blotting sheets for touchups may be your answer.

STUNNING, Erine :eyelove:

:winkiss: thanks babe!
