MAC All About Orange Collection (June 2013)

[Medgal07]

OMG I'm a DEAN, finally! That took serious effort!

I didn't realize that I had previously until someone pointed it out to me---guess I was just too busy running my mouth

It's up on Belk! I finally got 2 flamingo lipsticks after missing it from macys, nordstrom, bloomingdales, and the mac website!!

Thanks for posting that. I got me a Flamingo as well. I was hoping to get it at Bloomies and get 8x points + bonus points, but I didn't wake up early enough (or stay up late enough). My small haul is now complete.

at least they had free shipping on belk! I suffered $6 of shipping finding altered beige on bloomingdales yesterday.

Very nice! I need to get myself a labelmaker and start labelling things I think. At the moment my stash is just about small enough that I know where everything is, but I have a feeling that may change before too long

This is the majority of my stash. My NPs and non-Mac glosses (mostly Lancome juicy tubes) are elsewhere, plus a few lesser used palettes. Not outrageous... yet!!
what type of boxes are you using to hold the product?

Not sure if you meant the individual items, or the bigger boxes. The bigger boxes are just ones I've acquired when buying various products - the green is from a DKNY perfume set, the one with the eyeshadows is a Bare Minerals set box (I use both the bottom and the lid like this). It's a bit of a mish-mash, but they mostly fit ok like this - and I didn't have to spend any money specifically for storage!

The individual items are in the Mac boxes. I fold them flat, cut in half, reassemble, then tape them together in rows to give some stability. That way everything is in a slot that is perfectly sized for it.

I'm starting to get anxious
because I now have an overflow situation and I don't like that---pretty OCD, I am.

Thanks! I have some room to grow, but I also have space in my recently acquired Alex to take any overflow (along with my NPs) if necessary! I'm determined that if that ever gets full too I will stop buying! It will be on a one in one out policy

LOL i can't remove stuff that I added in my cart on MAC website, i keep clicking remove and nth happens, maybe I wont remove it and take it as a sign

 

[Medgal07]

I was a good girl and passed on S&S, so of course now I keep thinking about it and wondering if I missed out. Then again, I'm head over heels for my SK, so maybe I should just be happy with that. I've already spent so much money the past couple of months on MAC and with TT coming up in a few weeks... oh the life and decisions of a makeup addict!

Isn't that the truth? I haven't had a chance to wear everything from the last three collections---drowning---need to come up for air but having way too
much fun!

 

[Addict4MAC]

very nice!!! still haven't worn mines yet.

Very nice...did you just line or line and fill?

 

[TXBeautyBaby]

Anyone know of a lipstick from this collection that an NW45/46 could wear w/o liner or gloss? If not, I'll probably just pass on this collection.

 

[MissBeautyBunni]

Just lined. I didn't want to take away from how the actual color turned out

 

[MACina]

.......MAC forces you to big hauls

Yes, this might really be a sign

Can someone post swatches of Flamingo before and Flamingo now? Would like to know if there's any difference as this will be my first one Thanks

 

[ShanOrieal]

Wooh! I finally was able to place an order. I got the following:

Belk:
Flamingo x2
Sushi Kiss
Neon Orange

Bloomingdales:
Tarte and Trendy
Sweet and Sour
Honey Jasmine

I had no intentions on purchasing anything from this collection, but once I saw the swatches.. I just could not resist and I am glad I didnt. I hope the colors look as cute on me in person as they do everyone on here

Am I the only one who never buy backups? I bought one once, sold it a couple of months later. There's no way I'll finish something since I always buy something new!

 

[Michelemu21]

I just read in a magazine that you can use 1 lipstick for 280 times

I really have NO idea how they were able to calculate that

Everyone has different lips and applies more or less....

Plus it depends on the finish of the lipstick...I do go through some of my lustres but I can't imagine going through an amplified or satin...then again I have a lot of lipsticks.

I don't do backups either. Like you, I rarely finish anything, and always want new products!

 

[MACina]

Yes, you are right!
That is another important point

Exactly, I've never bought one. because as you say there is always something new. Imagine we have 200 lipstick how often we use and when you ended up? I better save that money in another lip of another collection.

Although I was tempted to buy one of sweet n sour. I love it.

Boo, paying shipping at Bloomingdale's is no fun. I do like Belk (Are we still preferring to it as the Secret Site?) for their always offering to ship free for MAC.
