lipstick shade extensions

[OctoberViolet]

Thank you very much ladies! I am going to have to find some time and go through my stuff and get ready to b2m for the Mehr lipstick and some of the others.

No, not at all. Ive taken so many nasty lipglosses with about 1/2 of the product still in them and they've never said anything. To be honest, they hardly even check them other than counting them. ...they don't inspect them.

I have a silly question. I'm having a brain freeze at the moment. Do the containers have to be completely empty when you return to MAC or can their be some product left? Thank you & sorry. I should know this, but it's been quite some time since I did a b2m.

i've never had a problem taking items for b2m that still have product. one time the mua's were very intrigued because i took in a half-used, very obscure LE paint tube in hot+sour. i was kinda wondering if they ended up squeezing out the remainder of the product after i left the counter, before they returned the container to the mac authorities....

They probably did. I saw silver bullet lipsticks someone B2M a few months ago. I haven't seen those in ages. I don't know why the SA kept them on the counter so long. Probably interested in Mac history.

wow, i don't think i ever saw the silver bullet. was it an LE thing, or just one of the basic iterations?

Sort of. It was supposed to be permanent. They had it for awhile and then all of sudden they went back to black. There was never really an explanation. I'm guessing it was too costly.

I loved the old style frosted nail polish bottles with the pointy (bullet like) cap. So unusual. I don't know why they went to the round bottles. The other ones were so eye-catching.

I think I still have at least a handful of those. Jungle Fever, Sailor Boy, Kosmic, Paisley Park, Yum Yam(Yum). These polishes are old. I don't know why the heck I still have them.

Wow! You have them because polishes last forever! They don't go bad.
Edit - My favorite was one called Siss. It was before they decided to use the name for a lipstick.

Maybe that's why I still have them. LOL! I end up going through my stash and they're all separated in the bottle and I just give em a shake and they're back together. I have an old one on my toes right now called Pink Radar (Tan Ray collection) that I dug up a few days ago. It's old and it doesn't look quite like I remember. It's looking more orange than pink and it seems to have lost some of it's brightness.

I remember this one being almost neon but it doesn't look that way anymore.

maybe our concept of neon makeup has changed overtime, especially with shades like cyy out there?

 

[Copperhead]

i have one of the old bottles -- it's a rich brown frost...i think it's called goddess? i use to have another, rocker...which is also a lipstick now too...i use to love that shade so much, i would just do my nails over and over in the same shade. but then the bottle smashed on the floor...and now it's discontinued! aaaa...

That could be true. Back when I got and first tried Pink Radar, I wasn't accustomed to wearing bright shades so it was really bright to me and right now it just doesn't seem as bright. I don't see much pink in it either but I just asked my husband and he said he sees pink.

ETA: There once was a Tilt polish too.

this reminded me I was at nordies MAc yesterday and it look like the girls were going through the gently used rtrn stock, seeing what they could keep. I saw a lot of HCreatures products.

I cant wait to see wait the NEW Mehr is going to look like. LOL

 

[MACina]

Oh no....I hope that this on no "Mehr 2"!

MEHR IS GONNA BE PERM?!

Yup, that was necessary.
A LEMMING WILL BE SLAYED

I remember the name Tilt. I don't remember the color but I think there was a pink Pervette color too.

 

[kimibos]

im soo getting mehr because of madonna's mer girl song. good thing that its a cute pink.

 

[liba]

Oh no....I hope that this on no "Mehr 2"!

Mehr 2 might be a good thing - original Mehr is a gorgeous gorgeous color, but it's heavier and drier than the new MAC matte formula that got started with the Iris A. lipsticks. Original Mehr color with new matte texture would be perfection!

 

[shontay07108]

I have 2 Mehr's and I hope the one we get next is the same color. I don't find the ones I have difficult to work with but I wouldn't mind an improvement on the formula.

Hope we don't have a Runaway Red phase shift on the new Mehr.

 

[shontay07108]

I had to google it b/c I'm not familiar with Runaway Red (was never interested in it). It's crazy, the difference between the first and second RR. Sucks for those who thought they had a second chance to snatch up a product. Again, I really hope Mehr is the same.
