I knew I should have stayed away! I still don't want to return undercurrent though, it's just so pretty! I will be extra carefull while taking it off.

i hope my eyes dont get irritated! i bought designer purple, industrial, and the very last petrol blue they had! i intend on using them on my waterline for the most part, so hopefully it works out. i also picked up the stylesetter lipstain. i was really iffy about it because i thought it would bleed and whatnot, but its great! thanks to the girls that gave me some more information on the lipstains. im really happy with mine!

I had a baddd irriiation to Rave, but luckily not to the new ones! But am super careful, wear a coating of poweder on ym eyelid and then wear them on the top lash line alone, wore it for almost 5 hours and no irritation as yet.. but if i wear them on the botoom lash line, it inevitable gets in and irritates my eye as i tend to rub my eyes unknowingly

For those having an problem wearing these, you could maybe try wearing them OVER a fluidline? That's what I have to do with my kohl power pencils so I don't get raccoon eyes. But if they over not actually touching the skin, but touching the fluidline instead, you might be ok?

sadly, its a common irritation people have. :sad:



Lets just say lesson learned. I wont use it on my waterline again but I will consider using it on my lower lash line.

I need to try mine on again because I had terrible irritation the firsrt day I tried them but I bought it anyway.

I didnt remember my other pearlglides bothering me so I just though it was something that I did wrong. Im going to wear one of the new ones tomorrow to see if I get the same irritation. If i do, sadly they'll have to go back. I love my eyesight too much

I saw Slick Black sold out on the Canadian site earlier too! Thank goodness I put my order in before anymore sold out. I am so upset about Dirty
ssad.gif
& I didn't even get 2 of Slick Black like I planned, and I'm not going to. I hope I get Dirty soon. That didn't sound right
lol.gif


I hope these will be restocked. Anyone think they will be?

I used fly-by-blu recently because I was excited for art supplies, I used it on the upper lash line and I'm not sure if I got some in my eye or what but my eye was irritating me like crazy the entire day until I took it off. After that experience I had to skip AS

It's weird because I've used black russian on my waterline before (Don't tell anyone!) and my eye has never been irritated before. I dunno! Since the new p/gs have more glitter I don't even want to try them out anymore despite how pretty they are

i opened it and it was stuck to the inside top of the cap and broken already...so i never got the chance to twist it up in the first place. i was just going to pull the stick out and put it back in the packaging, but it wouldn't even come out, it was all up in the cap, completely unusable.

Any suggestions?

i'd so what others have suggested. only use them on your top lash line and use them over another liner like a fluidline.

Dirty is not as gold and metallic as GAM. And the staying power is unmatched. Way better IMO. MAC should've released these instead of the Metal-X.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with eye irritation problems with the pearlglides. I'd feel extremely guilty if I returned 4 pencils to MAC though...

I'm obsessed with purple.. I have Rave (which I love) and a brand new MUFE aqua eyes in purple and I still couldn't resist Designer Purple!

I got dirty gps, undercurrent pg and black line pg. I'm not sure if I should get Industrial too. Fortunately for me I can wear pg on my waterline but they don't really stay. 3 hours max. Nothing stay on my waterline anyway.. sigh.

Same. I didn't have this problem with the old ones though!!

I love doing a combo of lining Undercurrent from the inner corner to the middle of my lid, then Designer Purple overlapping from the middle and winging out. I call it a "magical eye." Very pretty! No clue what shadow to wear with it, so I just kept it simple, wore Painterly as a base, and let the eyeliners speak for themselves!

I'm loving my GPS as expected...they're just the best smokey eye tool ever, imo.
sigh.gif


I'd love to see a painterly colored GPS in the future, and maybe a midtone dusty/dirty peachy color? Well who am I kidding, I just want more...in any new colors, please!

I'm surprisingly happy with the lipstain markers too. I picked up Stylesetter and Runway Ripened and I'm debating about grabbing Tomorrow's Coral this week. For me they have great staying power, and with either a tendertone, clear lip balm, or a cremesheen glass on top...I have no problems with them drying my lips out.

Love.
