I couldn't get anyone in the MAC store at that mall to even acknowledge me. Oh well, their loss. I spend the money. It just won't be with them.

I'm sorry you had such bad service.....or no service rather at MAC. I've had that happen to me once at the snotty mall....Tyson's but everyone in that mall is snotty. They'd no sooner say hello then step on you. Every other MAC I've been to have been pretty nice.

it's such a shame that some people get ignored or treated funny in mac stores

i guess everybody has bad days at work but it's still upsetting to be ignored.

me too! I am really tempted to get 4 of the pearlglides, but I am trying to spend less money on makeup (and I don't wear eyeliner often). I am going to try to wait to go to the mall when pret-a-papier comes out, so I think i'll just choose from the ones that are still in stock (although there are two mac counters and a mac store in my mall...so I would probably be able to find most/all of them).

Mystery KP left Greengrease GSP right; Raven KP left Brown, Now GPS left
I know the KPs are darker and the Mystery KP is looking blue-y/teal-y in the pic, but if you had both in real life you could live with one or the other.

Again all I have is my Iphone, sorry for the quality--I'm shopping for a a real camera today!

What's everyone using to blend out your GPSs?

Brown, Now is melting into my skin and looks great blended out.

But Greengrease is hella patchy! I don't think I could wear this one by itself.
=(

Just want to know are you ladies using a primer underneath the GPS or is it good on it's own? Still skipping all of these, but I have the 3 that were previously released and I only ever used them as liners.

I've been working on swatches but they are not coming out so good. In the meantime . . . I agree that greengrease and mystery liner look virtually the same with mystery being a tad more shimmery. I don't really agree on the Raven, Brown now comparison. I think Raven is definately more purple while Brown, Now is a reddish brown.

I've been using UDPP underneath, but that's because my lids are kinda messed up from an anti-aging cream I was using, so I need the UDPP to smooth things out a bit. I did notice that when I used Dirty over Blacktrack (as liner), I did have remnants of Dirty in my crease from having my eyes open. I think I forgot to use primer underneath, though.

Once my lids are back to normal, I want to try these out without a primer.

I am starting to see why Industrial was sold out at the first Mac store I went to yesterday. I have it swatched on my hand right now. It looks like a bluish light gray color but in some light it looks like a purple color. I think I will try this with the black liner. Thanks for the tip!

I want to get 2 of the GPS, what ones would you all recommend? I love dark colors, wear mainly browns, greys, greens or purples. I almost always wear pigments but am dying to try these, the swatch's look so cool. Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Thanks everyone

I would definitely recommend Zinc Zone!

I have to say that I love the lipmarkers. My brother got me Stylesetter and Full of Flare as Easter gifts instead of a chocolate egg.

If you moisturise your lips before applying the markers they wear just great and, with a gloss on top, WOW they are awesome!!

 

[elegant-one]

^^^and no calories! I agree I love mine

I wore stylesetter today with just Zinc Zone & Azalea Blossom blush

 

[Shypo]

I'm starting to think I should've gotten Zinc Zone...hmmmm....I'm surprised I didn't get it to begin with, but I got Dirty instead. I may have to call tomorrow to have one set aside for me. Drat. Self-control is an elusive thing, isn't it?

 

[Shypo]

I wore Runway Ripened today with Chanel Glossimer #122 (don't know the name) and wow, what a pretty combo! I really like these markers - I might even consider picking up Tomorrow's Coral....

pretty much

I'm so glad you loved all your BB goodies!

I could just throw on Zinc Zone everyday I love it so much. I think its because its not so dark like a really dark black liner, but still nicely defines the eye. I love doing just the top lash line then it doesn't seem over done for everyday

And, it doesn't budge at all

 

[abbyquack]

It's so weird, I started out thinking I was only going to be interested in the lip markers, but now I have barely any interest in those, and way more in the liners and GPS! I think it's all the enablers on here!

Surely that's it!

I'd suggest Dirty and Zinc Zone.

Both are going to be a little more versatile than the other colored ones.
