Looks like I'll be getting the Rose lips bag because everyone is raving about it, so I may skip the Neutral for it.

Glam, that look with the cool eye palette is so pretty on you.

Don't feel guilty, please! I sometimes suffer from that kind of guilt too and it feels terrible!

They could use another coat or two, but the are looking great(so much better!) I'm trying to take pics, but the glitter really isn't showing up for me, but I do have a picture I took last night when I started, so I'll post that so you can kind of see.

i was looking at the 2 brushes before i read your post and was thinkin wow the top one looks a lot nicer what brush is that lol. I didnt even realize you painted it lol. you did a good job

Maybe because its Nordstrom? I dunno. The sets definitely look cheaper than I thought but they're well worth $35 if that's the case. Also they wouldn't let me have my palettes early which I was kind of sad about. I live 45 min away from my counter and just happened to be over here so I thought I would try but no go. They said they're being delivered in the am which I don't necessarily believe but maybe its true. So sad. But happy about the brushes if it indeed turns out to be accurate!

I was also wondering about that. I think its wierd. Havent read all the way down the posts yet maybe someone has answered this already but does anyone know why so cheap at nordstorms and not on mac website?

I thought I was going to get the Rose lips but I didn't.

I am on a budget crunch right now. So I only bought the cool eyes palette. But I even feel guilty doing that

Here is the look an MA did on me with it:

Yeah I didn't make one this time

Im sorry! I just took these pics quickly and posted them as I was so busy today. I was late for my apt too but they weren't too busy so they took me in. But yes I would normally make a makeover thread in the fotd section. Just not this time unfortunately. I may do a look of my own soon, perhaps tom, so wait and see

Do you guys think that the Rose lip bag is unique enough for me to get? Are any of the colours similar to anything in the perm line? I got a bunch of different pinks from MAC, so I'm not really sure....

Re: MAC-Adoring Carmine/Passionately Red/Passions of Red/Little Darling Discussion

I personally think they are unique, especially Romancin - the darker lip shade. I posted just a page or so ago that I don't think there is anything like these colors in the perm line. But, that would depend too on how the colors look on your lip color. They are very very pretty.

Re: MAC-Adoring Carmine/Passionately Red/Passions of Red/Little Darling Discussion

I just checked www.♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and saw the swatches of lip palettes in passions of red - they are very pretty . Too bad I hate lip palettes ... But I am still so curious for try them on myself.

I want the Basic Brush Set ( or face ) for myself as a gift - the red packaging for blushes are soo yummy!

Re: MAC-Adoring Carmine/Passionately Red/Passions of Red/Little Darling Discussion

i think i'm getting all eye palettes except the devoted poppy: classic eyes. colors looked pretty but i've read on a couple of sites of some complaining how chalky that palette is? anyone who swatched or tried this disagree?

Re: MAC-Adoring Carmine/Passionately Red/Passions of Red/Little Darling Discussion

I got the Rose Lips bag (which I LOVE), and I thought I was going to get the Warm palette, but most of the colours didn't suit my skin tone so I bought Sketch and Patina and created my own Warm palette look today. =)

don't know if this has already been posted, but the plum lip palette is already sold out on the Canadian site.

Re: MAC-Adoring Carmine/Passionately Red/Passions of Red/Little Darling Discussion

I got my warm palette, I posted it with some comparisons in the swatch thread. I'm not sure how I feel about it, the colors are gorgeous but not terribly unique, very smooth though.

Grand Entrance is less green on me than I had hoped. When I add Carbon to Humid it's a lot nicer and turns out to be what I was hoping Grand Entrance to be.

Two of them remind me (not exactly but too closely) of Soft Brown and Sketch on my skin. I'll have to ponder it because it is a gorgeous palette, though the case feels a lot cheaper than last years. Warm Suede is heavennnnly and unique as far as the shadows I own but I don't think it's worth $40. =(

i got my package 10 minutes ago (but it still says "processing" online) and one side of the box is all dented so i rushed to open it up to check if everything was ok. one my VG lip palette boxes was dented and there's some black flecks on two of my lip colours :S

Hmmm I would get it if I had the moola, but I don't think its that unique. Its fun to have if you are a fan of pinks. I liked the darker shade in it. I found that to be the most unique. But honestly, you can mix and match many lippies from the perm line to get a dupe. Just play around.

Thank you! She used blacktrack fluidline on my waterline FOR THE FIRST TIME. I thought I was going to shed tears but I didn't. Staying power is amazing. I think Im gonna dump my feline for this. lol

Some are chalky yes but the colors are packable and buildable in all the palettes.
