MAC Glitter and Ice Discussion

LOL.

I want another so badly but I am pathetically broke right now. Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll still be there after I get paid again!

By the way, I really like your new pic!

Oh my gahhhh SNOWGLOBE. I do not need a 2nd BU, I do not need a 2nd BU, I do not need a 2nd BU!

Maybe you DO! Lol This may just be the MAC gods way of speaking to you!

 

[SweetSarah]

I'm kind of tempted to get How Beautiful to use as a bronzer. Hmmmm. Or should I jump on that Snowglobe? Decisions!

Ugh, I'm supposed to be on a no-buy until Daphne.

She posted some gorgeous pics from Spring 2012 collections Chanel, Carolina Herrera,Vera Wang, YSL, Valentino, Louis Vuitton, and more...

And a HUGE upcoming Spring 2012 trend is MINT! So be prepared to use that Shimmermint eyeshadow from now well into Spring! All of us fashion forward MAC junkies will be well prepared!

OMG!!!! Ok so I have issues with my shimmermints fallout! it's really bad, as in even people that do not usually notice makeup that much (*cough* my brother and almost every guy at my school) could even tell! I always foil it (because of the fallout) and use a paint pot base but it still can't last a whole day! my other MES's aren't like this including my G&I ones (winterized and fresh ice) I do NOT want to return it at all costs! I usually only use water to foil, but since that's failing here, would Fix+ help keep it in longer without major fallout or is there any base that should be used with this? Anyone who answers this is AMAZING!

thanks in advance

Give Too Faced Glitter Glue a try. It's specifically for glitter, pigment, loose powder formulas however it works wonderfully for me with MES's! Apply it on the lid sparingly. Allow it to get tacky. Then pat (don't swipe or rub) the eyeshadow on top of it on your lid. Good luck doll! Hope you don't have to give up on Shimmermint! PS I've heard Pixy Epoxy is a product like TF Glitter Glue but I have never used PE. I do know it is cheaper.

I haven't tried Too Faced yet but I will say Pixie Epoxy has been a god send. Some of the most craptastic shadows will look brilliant when I use it and it basically seals it in almost making it smudge proof.

I'm glad mint is going to the in color soon, I looks good in greens....blues-not so much.

 

[Piarpreet]

mine have little venining but BEAUTIFUL!

I did? Lol.

I think my (personal) MES/MSF rules are clear:

- No veins, no buy.
- no MAC OS shopping, only in-person
- skip if in doubt

I tried to find good veining in the G&I MES, but I could not find any. Though I have to admit, my effort in searching for them was minimal in comparison to Lightscapade. I would go on the hunt again for a blue Lightscapade, but G&I for me was all about the delicious b/p and the p/p, in particular Let's Skate as it is such a unique color that cannot be duped.

I walked by a formal dress shop today while shopping, and there were 3 dresses in the window in Mint! I would never have thought that would be a color I liked until I started seeing it everywhere. Fashion & makeup cycle through so many of the same colors; it's refreshing to see something unexpected and fresh! AND it makes me more excited about Shimmermint! You will look beautious in Mint with your dark hair! You could just pretend Spring is here already! HeeHee

 

[SweetSarah]

Ha! Pixiedancer, I thought I was the only one who used 'beautious'!
