MAC - Gold Fever Discussion

[xpucu]

Well if you dont like shadesticks you can get the jumbo eyeshadow pencils from NYX .They are applying smooth and even and most important cheap.You can try the color Black Bean instead of Sharkskin .They have pretty good colors so you can check them out.

I dont like shadestick ,but the NYX pencils are great.

Also if you want you can depot them in small jars and make paint pots

Unless I can find one in the clearance bin here

If you like shadesticks then sharkskin is a must. I do have blacktrack fluidline to use as a black base but there are certain eyeshadows/pigments that look blah on top of blacktrack fluidline but they look WOW on top of sharkin.

Parrot, teal piggi, climate blue es, old gold pigment (any other teals) they all really pop on top of sharkskin! I'm not trying to enable you

but for me it all depends on the finish that i am aiming for

^Im going to punch you in the face. I just talked myself OUT of sharkskin... hahaha!

 

[nunu]

I hate Nordstrom's shipping price with a passion

 

[TwistedFaith]

I only feel justified in ordering from Nordstrom if it's a larger haul b/c of the shipping price. I would like to get Sharkskin and maybe the Gold glitter but the fact that I'm paying that much for shipping just kills it for me.

Bloomingdales, on the other hand, is wonderful. They have a flat fee of $5 for beauty purchases. If only they had Gold Fever. *sigh*

There shipping is so ridiculous..The lady at Nordies asked me why do I order online but always pick it up...I told her because it's cheaper for me to drive to pick it up..And when I do get here I know I have one ready and waiting for me and all I have to do is show my ID and pick it up...She said "I See"! Whatever you know the shipping is outrageous!

I think it's really pretty too. A shame that I'm not willing to wear it on my lids since it's not eye-safe. I would Love something glittery like this for my eyes. The MA suggested using it on the body and hair.

ooh. I'm excited about this collection. Unfortunately I don't have a Nordies where I live, so I have to deal with the crazy shipping.

They sent out one of my items today and the rest are being shipped separately. I think that is completely nuts. But hey. they only charged me $5 for shipping. *shrug* I have no idea why they do it that way. My fiancé thinks it is because they are shipping out from different stores all over the place. Maybe whichever stores get them first? Dunno. But I'm super excited to get all my loot!

This collection totally gave me an excuse to buy all the golds that I had been putting off getting - oh and sharkskin and sea me shade sticks. Yay! I will post back when I get all my stuff shipped in!

 

[SparklingWaves]

I was so glad that I didn't have to order 3D Silver from Nordstrom. I took a chance and actually found a M.A.C. store with one left. I am so happy!

 

[GlamYOURUs]

I went to Nordies and they sold out of sharkskin the first day! All I got was the Golden Lemon piggie, its so gorgeous I am surprised why I never picked it up b4. :\

 

[meg_curls]

Just thought I may as well post here that two of my friends and I are going as a gold fever girl, a silver fever girl, and a bronze fever girl, all based off of this collection (the event and the promo pictures). We just can't wait to make ourselves glitter lashes like they did for the gold fever event.

When I went to my local Nordstrom's to get Sharkskin (which I have been dying to get forever!!!), they told me they never even recieved it in the store to sell. I was able to order it from the website. I was just curious if anyone else who ordered Sharkskin from Nords has actually recieved it? I am afraid that Nords actually doesn't even have it and I will be waiting in limbo for months for it. Thanks!
