Help! I need to eliminate lemmings

[User20]

I really need to get rid of a bunch of these lemmings so that all my travel money doesn't fall on MAC, sadly but I've got no choice *whimpers*.
PS: Palettes are staying on my list, so they aren't missing from the elimination

Pigments:
Silver
Chatreuse
Rose
Vanilla
Golden Lemon
Old Gold

Eyeshadow:
Bamboo
Sumptous Olive
Hepcat
Star Violet
Hunmid

Cream Color Base:
Pink Shock
Pearl

Blush:
Cute
Peaches

Pro Gloss:
Guava

Mixing Medium:
Face & Body
Lash (I would get some wand with this)

Fix + (I have really dry skin, good idea to keep on list?)

Hyperreal Pressed Powder: light or lavendar (unsure which?)

 

[BlahWah]

I love the colour of Rose pigment but since it's so bright, I don't reach for it often and I wish I saved my cash for something else!

 

[user2]

I think CCBs are the most unneccessary thing that MAC ever released!!

Go and ask yourself how often you would use the Guava Gloss!!

Face & Body MM...mmmmh not really that great!
Lash MM, what do you want to use it with?

Here's what I would get from your list:
* Rose pigment (if you are in a rush, Rose on the lid and ready to go)
* Vanilla pigment (so versatile, highlight/allover/liner etc.)
* Peaches blush (it's soo nice and pretty!)
* Fix+ AWESOME!!
* Hyperreal Pressed Powder light

just me and my 2 cents!

Mixing Medium/Lash is must if you've got pigments! You may as well get Mixing Medium/Eyeliner too

I totally live buy both of those.

Pigments: ( I love pigments but I chose them by their versatility)
Silver (How often can you have silver lips? - I would eliminate this bc there are good silver shadows cheaper)
Chatreuse
Rose
Vanilla
Golden Lemon (I love golden lemon but I just don't get to it that often,.. wish I had just bought a sample, It too would be off the list.)
Old Gold (No matter how I apply this one it always looks like hell,.. I'd ditch this one too)

Eyeshadow:
Bamboo (Nope,.. better neutrals out there,. off the list)
Sumptous Olive (Off the list too,.. I am not a smokey green person)
Hepcat
Star Violet
Hunmid

Cream Color Base: (ITA with VV here. CCB's just dont do it for me. I have Pealr and Hush which are versatile colors but I dont use them,.. they crease on the eyes)
Pink Shock
Pearl

Blush: (I have a Brown, a peach, a barely there color, and a plum, and 2 blush duo's... with all the other lovely stuff MAC has put out like MSF's,.. do you really need many? If you have a few,.. I'd take these off the list too.)
Cute
Peaches

Pro Gloss: (green lips and do you really want green cheeks and wet looking green eyes? Not often I would imagine - on the No list)
Guava

Mixing Medium:
Face & Body
Lash (I would get some wand with this)

Fix + (I have really dry skin, good idea to keep on list?)

Hyperreal Pressed Powder: light or lavendar (unsure which?)

Hope you are able to get it down to reasonable,.. I have had buyers remorse before and I just have a really hard time returning anything,.. Good luck!

Okay, let's see. I"m just gonna point out the bad parts for the ones I have--
Pigments: *I'd just get samples. you can buy it off people here for much cheaper*
Silver *which one? The metal? I have silver metal and the damn thing goes POOF everytime I open it and lets loose with this cloud of silver. So wasteful.*
Rose *hard to work with. it's so clumpy*
Vanilla *Okay, I'm no hope here*
Golden Lemon *I might be the only one, but I don't find myself wearing this a lot*
Old Gold *pretty, but again, sample it.*

Eyeshadow:
Sumptous Olive *ooh, but if you want a green, go with humid*
Hepcat *want a purpley color? go with Star Violet*
Star Violet *See line above. This color isn't very bright, but it's a pretty day color*
Humid *<3. Seriously.*

Cream Color Base:
*See VV's comment. I only use mine as bases when I'm lazy*

Blush:
Peaches *don't have it, but i've been lemming.*

Pro Gloss:
*don't have it, but see VV's statement again. how often will you be using it?!*

Mixing Medium:
Face & Body *ooh. love*
Lash (I would get some wand with this) *I have the Liner one instead. Liners, you can do, but how often will you wear colored lashes?*

Fix + (I have really dry skin, good idea to keep on list?) *It's good for setting your makeup, but it's not really moisturizing. get it for the setting part.*

Hyperreal Pressed Powder: light or lavendar (unsure which?) *I'd get the light*

Humid is a must have!

 

[bluegrassbabe]

Pigments, get samples
Eyeshadow, get Humid first, and the rest later
Cream Color Base, not something tthat u will use everyday
Blush, I'm no help, never used either of these colors
Pro Gloss, Guava, probably won't be used a lot

Mixing Medium:
Face & Body
Lash
get these, you can pick up disposable mascara wands at any beauty supply store


Fix + A must have, get it
Hyperreal Pressed Powder: light or lavendar , I don't know, never tried these

I agree get samples of pigments.
If you can get samples take Silver and Chatreuse off the list for now.
If you really want them Chatreuse get milani garden mist and the limbo lime. Put the garden mist on top of a sheer coat of limbo lime. Bonus Limbo lime is similar to pro lime and garden mist is similar to Metamorph.
Milani also has two silver shadows to choose from.


For the e/s: Bamboo can look like a dirty orange at times. You can get a Humid lookalike through Milani clover...it's close enough to have for right now.


CCB's crossed out all together!

Thanks, this helps a lot! I admit I have been editting my list since this and have added Sushi Flower and Expensive Pink, while removing some others. To think how many revisions this list will go through before I get there lol

Now samples - I'll have to look into this.......

 

[liquidsirenhoney]

definitely get pigment samples...but i love vanilla so that is one i would recomend buying....fix + is amazing imo, i would wait on ccb's (i love them but most people prefer paints).
