From what I've seen, Thrills is a bit more rusty red than Antiquitease, which has a stronger brown tone IMO.

I don't know if it hasn't already been posted, but I hadn't seen this promo-pic yet. Sorry for the poor quality!

What time is the event at the Oak street store? I'm sort of going to be in the area tomorrow evening.

12-6 I think, I'm going at 3 today.

I've never been to an event, I'm honestly not sure what to expect. Anyone know what I should expect? heh...

Gold Stroke is very similar to Chocolate Brown. HTH

Arrg. I won't make it to the event. The Oak Street MAC store closes at 7, doesn't it? If so, I'll have to go to Nordstrom. If you go, will you share details on the event?

hi, can someone please tell me if Sweet Sienna has a green undertone?? from what ive seen in swatch it looks pretty green rather than brown..
thank you in advance!

 

[BloodMittens]

w00t! I got my haul today

All 5 MES's
Queen's Sin Lipstick
Her Fancy Lipstick (BTW, this is a GLAZE lipstick, not a frost.) or at least my package tells me so.
And the white nailpolish. This stuff is WHITE WHITE. Two coats and it's whiter than my walls

I will post pics and swatches later.

I was interested in Family Silver but it's way too frosty for my tastes. I'm loving Queen's Sin, Red Romp and Budding Lust though!

Queen's Sin is GORGEOUS. I hate red lipsticks, but this one was so pretty I couldn't bear to let it sit in the drawer and not be used by anyone but me

I posted my swatchhhhessssss.

Will do...

Overall, it seemed like an ordinary day in the MAC store. The MA's were for the most part, all sporting the new colors (and McQueen colors.)

As far as my sister's makeover goes, well...the MUA told her she had eczema on her lids, which is bizarre. She did a nice job though, except she used WAY too much bronzer on her-then again, a couple of the other MUAs there seemed to think the whole "Punched in the Cheek" look was cute.

I swatched the shadows, and the only thing that showed up on my pale ass, er, hand was Mi'Lady and the golden shade of Engaging. Gorgeous in the pot, too flaky and frosty to buy. The lippies however were stunning.

Queen's Sin + Majestic = LE SEX

It was a pleasant afternoon all in all, nothing spectacular or mindblowing. A relief for my wallet.

If it's true about the store going PRO next year though, we can only pray...

Yeah, we noticed a couple of them sporting the new necklaces. They're cute.

Thanks for your swatches by the way.

I'm telling you, Queen's Sin and Majestic are the barmb together.

It's just rumor, but legend has it that Oak St. may be turning PRO by April.

yeyyyy!! thanks sooo much, thats exactly what i was hoping for

if you dont mind, would you tell me how u like the pigment??

 

[me_jelly]

OK, I don't want to sound like a paranoid neat freak, but I can't figure out whether to put sweet sienna with my grey/silver pigments or my taupe/brown pigments. It seems to be a complex mix of pewter grey/taupe/gold/olive.

 

[j_absinthe]

I'd probably put it with your more taupe piggies.
