MAC Art Supplies Discussion

[Gonzajuju]

I wore dirty gps with smoke and diamonds over it, with mylar to highlight, and black line e/l. That was seriously the easiest smokey eye i've ever done in my life! I only bought dirty and zinc zone but I think I need to go back and buy more. I don't need an enabler when i have myself.

 

[shimmergrass]

i gave in and bought "designer purple" as well...

that's what i'm here for!

 

[GlamQueen21]

Now I want to get two more GPS! Charred Mauve and Zinc Zone are calling me!

 

[abbyquack]

I am getting soooo tempted to place an order online before anything else sells out, but at the same time, I think if things sell out it will help me narrow down my list!

I'm also kinda surprised Undercurrent is s/o-- it looks pretty but Industrial seems a bit more unusual, so I was imagining to s/o faster.

My friend is out in San Fran vacationing and went to the pro store. She offered to pick me up one of their regular pro items and texted me that she was swatching Undercurrent and before she knew it someone had bought the last one while she was there! She went to meet a friend who works at counter later on and they were sold out of it too!

 

[Goat Goat Etc.]

I now have:
Undercurrent
Industrial
Greengrease and Brown, Now GPS

Brown, Now GPS is crazy awesome action!
Bluuuud Red by Petrilude

 

[Goat Goat Etc.]

I just made a sad discovery.

I just got Greengrease and Brown, Now GPS. I was playing around with looks and remembered my Kohl Power Pencils in Raven and Mystery. I swatched them next to the GPSs and there's not much difference with the exception of kind of sheens that the KPs (high) and GPSs (low) have.

I know the GPSs have staying power but....I have my preferences. =/

 

[mac_aiken]

Does anyone know if Nordies is closed today? I caved and decided to get Brown Now as my last piece of this collection.

hahaha I don't know how she'd feel about adoption, in that I have younger twin sisters who are up-and-coming MAC addicts. I'm not sure if my dad could take another make-up-loving female in the household

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

Same to you! Mine is on the 18th, and I'm going out with friends on the 17th - all I can keep talking about is how annoyed I am that Pret-a-papier won't be out in time for me to spend the $50 to get my makeup done on that collection. My friends think I'm nuts.

My mom has some stuff put away from GLOL and Too Fabulous, too, and my grandma bought me a few permanent items, so it's going to be a very MAC birthday!
Hope you get lots of stuff from your list!

I think all the malls are closed today including all the anchor stores. I just went to Nordstrom website and searching under locations each store has their holiday hours like here:

[elegant-one]

yep, our nordies is closed

I wanted to go out shopping today because I'm so sad. I miss our son & daughter in law soooo much. We couldn't be with them over Easter because our son is in NY on business.

My daughter in law stayed home, but called to tell me that she spent almost $400 on plants & mulch while he was gone

I cannot wait until he finds out

- he'll get over it once he sees how lovely it looks

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

Hi Elegant! Yes, I really like Charred Mauve - I skipped the DSquared collection so was looking forward to trying these. I've played with it as a base for purple and smoky looks, and I'm really glad I got it.

I LOVE my BB goodies! I guess I've become a 'convert' of sorts (my fave brands are MAC, MUFE and Nixie, in general). I received the Pink Raspberry face palette, and yes, Fog is a winner!! And I LOVE the blush!! While I was in CA I visited the CCO in Gilroy and picked up After Hours. I've amassed quite a collection of shadows now and have to get a BB palette so I can customize my travel choices

. Most of what I have has come from various CCOs, so I've been fortunate to find a lot of great colors.

I know it's WOOT, but thanks for asking, Elegant!!

Happy Easter & Passover everyone!!

Awww sorry you're feeling down! I've got it the other way around - I'm away at school and, because of exams and final papers, I'm stuck 4 hours away from my family on Easter for the very first time! Distance is such a bummer!

LOL about the plants! Just tell your son that it could be worse: my boyfriend's mom has installed an in-ground pool, put a down payment on a Smart car, and bought his sister a horse while his dad has been away on 3 different business trips

I hope you get to see them soon - it's so hard to go through holidays without seeing family!

Yes! That is EXACTLY what they did to me! I was so put off. I should have walked out with nothing, but got a couple of things that I thought might go quickly. But that will be the last time I spend money at that counter! I have to travel out there fairly frequently, and like to go shop at different counters, but yeesh! 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.
