MAC Glitter and Ice Discussion

[Mac-Guy]

Oh its lovely - I want to bathe in it

I like both BPs.....you were right mr. mac-guy

Now I NEED to see the pink lipstick & I'll calm down

Well, if I love a product, the chances that you love it too are quite high. LOL.

I think people rely too much on T's reviews/swatches. She is only one person, and only one person's thoughts. If you are like me and cannot get to a MAC store, take Specktra as a REALLY great place to talk to MANY people who get to see the items and give really good reviews. Please don't think Temptalia's site is your only option. She of course has never been a fan of MES so she isn't going to really play with them and work with them. Had it been months ago I would have waited to see her swatches and then ordered, had I done that with this collection I probably wouldn't have gotten anything. There are some really really great people on here who provide IN DEPTH details on products and really are there to give helpful comments.

So - with all that being said, don't shy away from products just because T doesn't like them. Read back pages on here, you will find some good info and other swatches!

I was just gonna get two dazzle glasses, but now I'm thinking about fresh ice and snow globe too. I shouldn't have looked at swatches

 

[Mac-Guy]

How many BU's of Snowglobe and How Beautiful do I want? Decision, decisions...

 

[elegant-one]

Double Spin? Pale pinky mauve in a creamsheen formulation. I think it would be gorgeous on you and I might go back myself for it later.
Exactly.

It sounds like an elegant lipstick

Thanks doll!

I am so sorry to read this. I've had several of my international readers tell me this as well. I have contacted tech support to help with this issue. I have also taken out a script that might be causing this. Please let me know if you still can't access the site!

To keep things on topic, here are some of my swatches of the eyeshadow palettes and photos of the brushes (if not allowed, please let me know):

I have that same problem. I tried Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer and none of them work. I was really lucky that after 5 minutes one page on her site did load today, but after that the next page didn't even after 5 minutes.

I am hoping to get the 3 pp and hold that pose, winterised and snow season Does anybody know if snow season is similar to mineral mode?

 

[mac_aiken]

It is definitely very Elegant.

I'm still getting several MES. I love all of my MES and use them all the time, so I don't care what T says! Snow Season, Hold That Pose, Fresh Ice and maybe Shimmermint are all going to be mine!

 

[elegant-one]

In honor of the Glitter & Ice collection, & my love of Snowglobes.
Our son & daughter in law recently bought this for me because of my love of bunnies & snowglobes.
Its sweet, just like all of you have been to me over the years

T said shes not fond of MES so i think if anyone on here actually loves MES then i say dont worry what she says about it and check it out for yourselves lol

 

[gracie90]

^That snowglobe is adorable!

 

[LeeleeBell]

Love T's swatches of the paint pots. Not sure I will keep Lets Skate, but we'll see. I ordered all 3 PP, Snowglobe, the fawn brown MES, Double Spin, She-Zam and Pleasure principle. I am ready to bedazzle with my sparkly, glittery brilliance!

Her swatch/pics of Let's Skate really don't do it justice imo.

It was funny to read her reviews of the BP's, which were lukewarm at best...and then the picture she posted of herself wearing them--I think they look amazing on her! I usually hate her highlighter pics as they look harsh on her for some reason. But these are gorgeous and now I am lemming Snowglobe again

 

[rockin]

I think I need to see swatches of the MES, and the beauty powders on lighter skin, to help me decide whether they're for me.

Comparisons between Snowglobe and Light Sunshine would be useful, too. I think Snow Season and Mineral Mode look very similar in the pan, and since I didn't get Mineral Mode I think I'm getting Snow Season.

 

[lmcmullen]

I didn't think I'd ever say this but I think this collection is a skip for me. Shimmermint has too much sparkle for me, and Morning Frost looks too frosty. My old lids look awful with super-frosty anything on them. There's nothing in the lipsticks that I like but don't already have, and I've got too many eyeliners already....

I am going away this weekend and have planned the trip so I swing by 2 CCO's on the way there and back, so I think I'll blow my cash there instead LOL.

Completely agree. I made the mistake of looking at her swatches completely relying on them and missing out on everything in the Semi Precious collection. Now here I am on Specktra seeing everything I missed out on. Won't make that mistake again. Not to mention whatever I buy never looks like what she posts.

So maybe this will be on the regular site late Sunday?

 

[OctoberViolet]

Has anyone swatched Eloquent Air lipstick? That is the one I really have my eyes on. Would love to hear plus & minuses.

 

[honybr]

T said shes not fond of MES so i think if anyone on here actually loves MES then i say dont worry what she says about it and check it out for yourselves lol

I completely agree! Didn't she give semi-precious bad reviews too? I loved those shadows so I just looked at the site to see the swatches and didn't bother reading what she wrote. My list as of now is:

Shimmerming
Snow Season
Hold that Pose

If I recall correctly there are several people with birthdays in the next week (mine included - tomorrow!) so happy birthday to you all! Happy birthday hauling!

 

[ahoythere]

I second that! Bummer, I really love her swatches.

Still not working

Can anyone who has tried Winterized tell me if they love it or not? The color is really up my alley (Purple-Taupe Alley that is) and I am ready to be talked into not skipping this entire collection...
