[montREALady]

I see so many people saying they use shampoo and I'm like "Nooooooo!!!" Cuz while it'll clean the products off, itndoesnt nothing fornthe bacteria that's building up I love Dr. Bronners! You can buy it at Target. It rocks! And you can use it for EVERYHING!

The peppermint one is errythang in the summer! I get it cheaper at beauty supply stores here, Target and Whole Foods are too expensive, lol.

A. Thank you so much everyone! You all are so kind. B. Wow! You ladies are also all stunners! C. This collection feels made for me...need to stop. D. Super sad I was late to the MAC party & missed oxblood...it looks so pretty, and I don't want to feed the eBay trolls.

I don't need an Oxblood backup and almost ordered one anyway, it was in my cart. Sorry you missed it. But there was a restock just on Saturday so maybe another will happen.

Erine, which Dr. Bronners product is it, if you don't mind me asking? I know they make a lot of different soaps and cleansers. Didn't realize they disinfect, too. I've been using shampoo and 91% alcohol afterwards.

Got to the store and no brushes :-( The SA I spoke to earlier said he was told there were in boxes but one of my main SAs said they were backordered and would call me as soon as they were available. Here are some fluidline swatches and IGNK: Top Row: Lowlights, Silverstroke, Ivy, Brassy and Looking Good Bottom Row: Siahi, Blue Peep, Our Secret, Shade and IGNK

I meant to get Silverstroke but just realized I forgot it. The rest of the ones I wanted I had already ordered online and will be picking up my package tomorrow. I also swatched MMG (too bright, yowza!), and Diva-ish (unremarkable compared to what I already have, so the only additional thing I bought was IGNK x2. I was surprised by how thick the 267 was. Glad I didn't order two of them. I'll test if out and if it doesn't work I'm sending it back.

I just went to Target yesterday to pick up the rest of my daughters Easter presents. That's even cheaper than the elf cleaner. Looks like I'll be heading over there tomorrow when I go to MAC.

Perfect!

The peppermint one is errythang in the summer! I get it cheaper at beauty supply stores here, Target and Whole Foods are too expensive, lol.

I love the citrus one! Target is the only place that carries it here. If i order it online, it's equals out to be the same after shipping. I buy the giant bottle and it's lasted me ages! I've probably used only a couple ounces in almost 2yrs.

It's the castile soap-liquid or solid. I use the liquid.

Never use 91% or 99% alcohol. It doesn't do anything to sanitize. Only 70% alcohol sanitizes, and over time it dries out your brushes, so you shouldn't be using it on your brushes anyway.

Sad to know I've been doing it wrong all this time smh. But at least I know now. I'll pick some up. As always, thanks for the help!

I took your advice on this a few months ago and OMG my brushes come clean so quick! They dry faster than ever now too. Thank you so much!

Yes! Tried that one! I tend to like refreshing scents...I need the pick-me-up in the mornings.

If I'm not mistaken, rubbing alcohol is too harsh for makeup brushes.

My Nordies MUA were so stoked, yes I said stoked about this collex. I ended up with Shade FL to my surprise. I also got Low lights and Brassy They wanted all the lippies, but I wasn't impressed with the lightest colors.

Doubt it, but who knows? Seeing it in that pic earlier made me want it...would have never guessed the color looked like that on.

lol...i thought you were staying away from the fluid lines!

i was avoiding them too, but shade is very tempting.

did you get any of the lipsticks? i ordered mmg, rs, rr, call the hairdresser...and i get no kick.

 

[aradhana]

Diva-ish. Pardon the stringy hair. I think the reason I'm so happy with it is that I already have similar shades that I like. Oh well, at least it'll get used.

it's a perfect shade for you - very beautiful....it's a good thing you have a lot of similar shades

221 and 137 Brushes will be launching on counter (hopefully) and online on April 13th. There was a production issue.

You're welcome hun! :wink:

Yay! And you can wash your car, dogs, fruits & veggies, hair, body, EVERYTHING WITH IT! It's amazing!!!

Yes! Tried that one! I tend to like refreshing scents...I need the pick-me-up in the mornings.

I tried the peppermint one at first, but in a citrus girl I'm obsessed with The Body Shops Satsuma hand sanitizer and body wash!

WHY!?!?!?

This is exactly what I was afraid of but no. You can also use it in the inner corners of your eyes the MAC artist suggested. I tried to get good pics. I'm NW45 (since the 90's) though she said I'm not anymore, I'm probably NC. Apparently they change their shades? Is she serious?  Pearl Blossom on cheekbones.

love

I just got to look at most of this at Macys I wasn't allowed to swatch anything :sigh: only look at it LOL!!! Make me Gorgeous is SOOOOOOO pretty in person. So was Catty,CTHD,  Diva-ish & Notice me Of course, French Twist looks nothing like the MAC swatch lol - its a peach. Why haven't they changed that stupid swatch on the site yet! Real Redhead didn't look like a Mauve nude at all to me, it looked peach as well. I'll have to look at Mandy's video. The eye shadows were really pretty.

I agree real redhead where is the mauve nude Its a pretty color but I wanted mauve nude

Thank you!! I'm not really loving Alpha Girl so far, it's definitely not an highlighter. It has a slight sheen to it but it's pretty much matte on the skin! More a blush than an highlighter. It won't work as a blush on darker skin tones either because it has a very powdery texture. It will be a good coral-peach blush for you if your are fair-skinned, it MIGHT work on medium skin tones if applied on well moisturized skin and if you set your makeup with a setting spray or some fix + to remove that powdery finish.. but I've only worked on the comparison swatches so far and haven't worn it on my face yet. It might be one of those things that you love once you know what to expect though (NOT an highlighter lol).

I had ag in my cart but skipped it I kinda wanted the old one with the flowers When I saw the new one I was disappointed it look so plain

I was told that they will release tomorrow.

I'm getting all three I hate and love That I'm a brush addict

I'm trying to be good with my money because I think my debit card went into shock when I made the down payment on my wedding dress! I got a dress almost double the amount I planned on paying. Haha. I never tried their lip primer before, but it felt nice under Ruby Woo and I don't know if it's just Ruby Woos magic or the primer, but it had some serious staying power.

awwwwwww Congrats on your day

Loving that pearl blossom

love pb on u

Interesting how differently this product works on different skin tones! I'm NC43/44... I keep alpha girl in my bag as an all over powder (i have the one from when it was released with a flower embossed in it)...It doesn't look chalky or powdery on me, and the pink brightens my complexion very subtly. mostly it just gets rid of the shine.

Sometimes I think having a Nordie's card is bad for my willpower(or lack there of), I just put the MAC on my card and think about it tomorrow! LOL. 4 Fluidlines(LG, Ivy, Shade, Siah) and 2 lipsticks(RS and CTHD) later...
