MAC Art Supplies Discussion

[s_lost]

I already used all of my new PG a few times, and I really, really love them. Strange thing is that seeing the swatches I didn't care much about Black Line, but it's my favorite now

Undercurrent was the last one that I tried, and I liked (not loved, but still). The glitters are subtle, and that is very good.

I prefer Rave to Designer Purple, but it's a beautiful color.

I just opened my Art Supplies today (finally home & celebrating my bday with the family!). The colours were just as beautiful in person as I anticipated. My one beef was that all of the tips of the GPSs were a bit higher than the lip of the tube (if that makes any sense at all!), so when I pulled the caps off, no matter how careful I was, it nicked or lopped off a huge chunk of the tip. Random!

Anyway, I wore Dirty today and it was a lot darker than I anticipated, but still very pretty. I smoked it out with Sumptuous Olive and Smoke and Diamonds...really pretty! Can't wait to try out the rest of them!

Should I get Petrol Blue now while I can or wait to see if Designer Purple is restocked?

To be safe, I would get what you can now but maybe instead go to the stores and get whatever is sold out (plus whatever else you want).

The same thing happened with me for this collection. I went to make my order but Dirty GPS was sold out. I still ordered everything else and picked up Dirty at a store eventually.

Since then I have seen an additional THREE GPS' sell out and have never been restocked so far, so I am glad I did not wait!

I wish that were possible! The nearest MAC store is a 10 hour drive, a 6 hour ferry and another 5 hour drive away in Halifax.

I think I'll order Petrol Blue and maybe Industrial tonight and hope Designer Purple is restocked!

I saw Dirty GPS and Undercurrent p/g restocked online. Thought about backing them up but at the same time, I won't use them all up and I told myself no more backup since I broke my backup rule for Spring Colour Forecast.

Oh noooo, that sucks!

I'm sorry

I definitely say get what you can on the site now then! I hope Designer Purple is restocked for you!!

If not then there will hopefully be another way for you to get it!! (CP, swap, sale, etc..).

It gives you more time to shop your stash as well and see you might have close dupes? I didn't purchase zinc zone because whilst i was placing my order i remembered i have a brand new benefit cream eyeshadow that's exactly the same! Don't worry sweetie, you'll get your hands on it soon

Thanks soo much for your support girls!!

I know... you're all right... it's just I've been soo excited for this collection... ever since we first heard of it! I feel I've waited forever and the date has been pushed back over and over. Now, I began to fear we won't get this at all!!

What's even worse... I've been soo busy lately I've missed you all soo much!! I didn't have the chance to read your kind posts until now.

Somehow my days are not complete without my Specktra time!!

Vlcatko dear, hang in there!! At least we're together!!

My list, if I ever get this:

Stylesetter (still in doubts)

Pearlglides: Undercurrent, Industrial, Almost Noir and Designer Purple.

GPS: Dirty, Zinc Zone, Greengrease, Below Grownd and Brown, Now or Slick Black.

Thanks a bunch once more for your support, girls!!

That's exactly what I've bought. I am loving all the colours, although Industrial is somewhat less nice than the rest. It's exactly what has been said earlier: the colour is not all that exciting and I had to pack on the colour in order to really make it stand out. The tip was gone pretty much after just one application :s

 

[Notorious19]

I am debating returning my Zinc Zone PG because I rarely wear black/gray smokey eyes. Do you guys think this is dupeable with a NYX Jumbo Pencil?

awww i feel so bad that this keeps getting psuhed back - we all sympathise with you

 

[nunu]

Hypathaya let me know if you need a CP

 

[purrtykitty]

I picked up Zinc Zone today. I thought about backing up Dirty and getting Designer Purple, but all of the GPS are still in stock, and only 2 pearlglides were missing. I'll wait until I go to get my To The Beach haul and decide then if I'll get the last two things I want, if they're still there.

 

[LMD84]

i still postentially will get zinc zone. i do wear silver quite a bit and this was on my original list so we shall see....

 

[shontay07108]

I just saw a pic of my favorite guru wearing Brown, Now with Expensive Pink and Antiqued. It's gorgeous! Now I will buy that one b/c I already have EP and Antiqued. I'm still meh on the others, though.

Who was it? I did a look with Expensive Pink and Brown Now last week, definitely a fave of mine.

I used my beloved Greengrease for the first time today! I blended it all over my lid, then packed Birds & Berries on top. I put a bit of One-Off through the centre of the lid and Parrot through the crease. I highlighted with Oceanique. Wowza, I am definitely a major GPS fan - no creases 8 hours later! I have definitely spent an inordinate amount of time staring at the mirror today

 

[missboss82]

I picked up Industrial p/g this weekend and I am in love, so glad I didn't pass this one up.

 

[shontay07108]

A couple of hours ago I ordered Brown Now GPS and an Impeccable Brow pencil. Can't wait to play with them.
