MAC and Gareth Pugh Discussion

[Mac-Guy]

my restrict arrived today! super happy with it and freaking love it. my hubby saw it in the tube and said 'that's a weird lipstick, won't it make you look dead?' i was happy at this comment because i want that grey'd dead look! i shall rock it at work tomorrow

I'm thrilled that you love it! Rock it, girl!

 

[elegant-one]

Me too. LOL.

now thats too funny!

now thats too funny!

I love how soft it makes my lips. I really hope that this formula comes back soon. It's definitely not the regular Cremesheen formula.

I'm waiting for friday which is the day in which I wont need dollars any more since my dad is coming (with family) so...I wanna buy temptu and a BU of outrage and inert. as my very own graduation gift

Lol, you didn't buy much GP in the US, but you would in Spain? You crack me up, ROFL!

 

[Mac-Guy]

Oh, you are getting a Temptu as a graduation gift? How exciting!

 

[PixieDancer]

You will LOVE the Temptu! I got mine to use for stage, but now use it daily! And there are thee most gorgeous highlighters and blushes that go with it too! And the rumor is they are coming out with eyeshadows... Not really sure how that will work out formulation-wise... But it's fun to imagine playing around with. Those are some nice gift choices! You deserve it ALL girl! CONGRATS!!

 

[Piarpreet]

i would never use airbrush eyeshadows.... so hard to target areas and not much to play with!
I'm down for the temptu face stuff. except maybe for blushes cos i love me some blushes...

 

[PixieDancer]

The Temptu blush formula works well with the foundation formula, obviously. So they sort of melt into each other and look divine! Although, I use all my blushes over the makeup... MAC, Nars, Tarte... No problems with any combo.
I have no idea how those eyeshadows would work. I heard they were supposed to be out in the fall, as in this past fall... so maybe they scratched the idea because of the difficulty factor. I sort of imagined some crazy stencils or something... I don't know! HeeHee I would have taken an afternoon to goof off with it!

 

[Piarpreet]

I did remember the sephora girl who did my make up mentioning it though.. so who knows they might show up at some point... but IO really think they will lose a lot of money by doing so. And yah the stencils would mess up my face make up, get messy and it's fun enough to grab a brush and a palette. I'm totally old school when it comes to eyes.

 

[Mac-Guy]

When are you getting yours? And will you eventually get your BU of Outrage too?

Here are swatches of the Metal-X Cream Shadows. Quite beautiful.

More swatches are up in the swatches thread & review is here.

I'm drooling over Ardent! Obscura is really nice as well, I just don't need another smokey pewter type color.

 

[Allura Beauty]

Ardent has more dimension applied to the skin than it does in the pan, which is nice because usually it's the other way around.

oh i do! i shall wear it tomorrow too because i love it so much! it is the perfect greyed out mauve shade... so different to anything i have! and when hubby saw me wearing it today he said it looked awesome and so different than when he saw it in the tube! I rocked it with some smokey green eyes thanks to one of the V Villains mes...she who dares i think....

 

[Allura Beauty]

Who (other than MAC itself) is saying it's metallic?

It does have flashes of silver/blue/purple, which I love.

 

[PixieDancer]

Ugh! It sounds so pretty! I passed on it because I keep thinking it won't look right on me with my skintone (NC30/35). Now I'm conflicted... Again!

That's my point. I just wanted to emphasize the fact that Ardent is not metallic as the name of the shades suggests a metallic finish.

 

[Allura Beauty]

I guess it depends on what is meant by metallic. If by metallic they mean a metal-like lustre, then I guess that's reasonable.

This might be a good description of the finish.
