MAC Art Supplies Discussion

[coachkitten]

I am a bit sad that I didn't get undercurrent when it was still on the site but oh well. I might check Nordstrom tomorrow to see if they have one available.

So far I have skipped this collection but I slowly feel myself starting to cave.

 

[sailordom]

I still haven't gotten my goodies!

I was supposed to go today, but I forgot that today is a holiday for many. The mall (and MAC) was packed! So unlike my usual midday Friday trips, haha. So I'm going back tomorrow when my MA will have some time for me. I need some tips on how to wear the GPS.

And I'm still waffling on which GPS to get....

Hopefully they will still have Undercurrent when I get there!

I did do some damage today!

*Dirty
*Zinc Zone
*Brown Now
*Greengrease
*Blackline
*Undercurrent
*Almost Noir

This weekend I am going to get Slick Black, thank you Erin for your enabling! But I

you SOO much!

 

[BlahWah]

Absolutely LOVE this collection! I so wish I could buy everything but as always, wallet asks for a limit. A bit of stretch is allowed, of course.

I gots me: Dirty, g/s, Greengrease g/s, Slick Black g/s and Undercurrent p/g.

Today, I used Greengrease as a liner (tightlined), Dirty as shadow and Undercurrent right into the top lashes, softened with the 231 brush. Easy smokey with a bit of sparkle! Makes me wanna go back for another Undercurrent tho...

I did the same for my mom and sis

Happy Birthday!!!! Mine is on Thursday, so I'm literally FORCING myself not to go see this collection and want to buy everything

I'm going to wait and see what they get me from my list, then go get the rest after!

Thursday can't come quick enough! I think I'm more excited about getting my Art Supplies than I am for my bday

I was hoping Stylesetter would be a true pink color on the lips. Now I'm REALLY curious to go get this. Maybe I'll ONLY get Stylesetter b4 my bday lol. I was looking forward to the lipstains for months. I would at least want one of them to work on me

yeah, i'm feeling slightly dissapointed with the reviews of the stains. i was looking forward to them the most but now think i'll be getting stylesetter and that is it!

 

[MzFit]

Grrr I keep thinking about Below Ground and Brown Now I should wait until my next pay to get them but what are the chances they will be sold out in two weeks?

 

[queen_kitty]

I'm wearing Undercurrent today with a neutral look, so pretty!

 

[elegant-one]

I LOVE Zinc Zone!!! Big time

Its such a pretty steely grey. Not too light, not too dark but just perfect. I'm wearing it today with nothin else, no es, no concealer, nothin & it is pretty all by itself. EDIT: I forgot to say that I'm wearing it only on the top lash line. Glam

Brown Now , is a beautiful color dark or sheered out. Sheered out, it is a rich brown. Darker, it shows more on the burgundy side.

What are you up to & did you get anything from this collection?

 

[elegant-one]

Hi Allison - BiG Kisses

Did you get anything? The GPS have to look slammin on you!

 

[Shypo]

I was in California eariler in the week, and was able to pick up Dirty and 2 of the Pearlglides....then last night I got Below Ground, Charred Mauve, and the rest of the Pearlglides.....I just love them!

I also got 3 of the lip markers - Stylesetter, Runway Ripened and A Classic - I wore Stylesetter today with a Dior gloss over it called 'Meringue' and it was very pretty. I have dry lips, and have to apply lipstick quite often, so having to touch these up doesn't bother me that much. I don't find them to be over-drying, but chemistry plays a part....

I have to say that I was really turned off by the MUAs at Nordie's in San Jose - they had the display out, and apparently had just put it out - when I asked if I could see them (they were standing in front of it) one of them asked the other one if they were allowed to show them - hello? Why do you have it out then? They were somewhat uppity about the whole thing. One of them was trying to convince me that since there was nothing to the lip markers there's no way they could be drying - it still didn't convince me. I waited until I got home and tried them myself before I bought them.

Do you like Charred Mauve? By accident, I found that having a lil lip balm (i had just wiped off a gloss) helps the lip stains go on very smoothly. It didn't seem to hamper that staying power.

I was hoping that you would post - I wanted to know if you like your Bobbi Brown goodies from a little way back?

Too bad about the MA - When I get treated like that, I just stand my ground & say hey, I have no other way of getting to see the new colors. Works every time

 

[purrtykitty]

I think I might go back and get Zinc Zone. I can use it for a sub for Lithograph f/l which I've been wanting, but can't ever find. I may also go back and get another Dirty and Below Ground, because I can really see myself using those a lot.

 

[SagaLina]

I have ask a person to do a cp for me so in about a week , I hope, I will have my goodies.
I bought:
Undercurrant
Designer Purple
Black Line
Dirty GPS

I really like this collection and it sucks that it dosen't come to Sweden, sucks!
I would have liked to take a look at the lipstains, greengrease, zinc zone and industrial.

I'm going to have to narrow my list down. I've never tried the GPS so I'm looking forward to trying these!

I'm quoting myself!

Well, I was kind of okay with getting all the pearlglides and GPS and planned to order online when the collection went up. I love all the pearlglides that I already had. I hadn't tried any GPS but I have been using my shadesticks a lot lately and was starting to work with paint pots more so I thought these would be great. After everyone was talking about not getting so much, I thought maybe I should rethink some of my purchases too. But after swatches and chatter, I still couldn't think of what to leave off. I thought maybe if I go to the store, I can take something off the list. Well, I thought maybe zinc zone and charred mauve. I don't do well with gray so much and do I really need another purple.

I saw from posts that one of the colors was compared to Opheus and Black Karat. I love these two and they were limited edition so I had to get that one. And the one that looked like Miss Fortune. Well, I had to get that too since I use my Miss Fortune a lot.

I got nervous when I heard Undercurrent was sold out online. I figured I may have to do some hunting today. I went to the Pro (NYC) store. They had Undercurrent! But oddly enough, they were out of Zinc Zone, Industrial Blue and Designer Purple! (Maybe these will be the next to sell out online) I decided I liked Zinc Zone. As I have newly become a convert to purples and was wearing a SCF purple look, I had to get Charred Mauve too. I promptly went down the street to other MAC store and picked up the other colors. So my strategy did not work, I ended up getting all the Pearlglides and GPS anyway.

BTW SCF Purple Look included Mink Pink eye shadow with Bruised Plum eyeshadow in the crease, Raven eyeliner, Vintage Grape blush (light color) and Purple Rage lipglass!

Also, I had a really hard time getting the GPS off with the hand sanitizer gel they had at MAC.

I ended up getting Greengrease, Undercurrent and Designer Purple. Only problem is I had to send my boyfriend and won't be able to have them until I get home from University in 3 weeks! He also has my GMLOL and a bunch of stuff from swaps!
Wish I could have mail actually ARRIVE here!

yes i agree, that is the store i goto and they are so uptight, even the MAC store in valley fair is pretty bad!!! the MA will look u up and down and eye you wierdly if you are not dressed a certain way or "just looking!!". i always end up order online or order on nordstrom website and pick up in store.

its sad!!! specially when u have spent so much money..

Ugh I hate when that happens!! Some MAs can be so impossible!
