MAC - Grand Duos Discussion

[geeko]

I think i shall commit myself to Team no

for ALL BLUSHERS from now on...

How many cheeks do i Have... I only have 2 cheeks.

NO MORE BLUSHERS for me!!!

Someone pls pull me away from all the blusher counters...

Winnie: I agree with you. In the country where Winnie and I live (We live in Singapore by the way).......most of the women only wear foundation, powder, light blush and light lip colors even on off work days. Colorful make up is frowned upon in our country. The first question that one of my uni mates asked me when i wore a yellow blue e/s combo to sch one day was "Are u having some kinda performance today?"

This tells u what the kind of culture we live in. I wish I lived in an environment where people are more receptive to COLORS.

Depends on what you're lemming for? I think some are less easily duped than others.

I think you've probably bought all the regular MAC blushes at the counter, right? So you're pretty safe there.

But i'm not safe from limited edition blushers like the grand duos

Oh no. Erm. Ok then I really don't know how to help you out. Maybe you can bring just enough cash for the items that you're buying from the collection (which does NOT include blush/MSF/BP), leaving all other cash and your credit/ATM cards at home. That way you'll have no access to spare cash for your cheek products.

Colors are so embraced here...and just a part of the Norm....Maybe one day it will be more exceptable

In fact I think the majority of women here don't even wear makeup regularly at all.

As for me, I never ever leave house without at least foundation, powder, and blusher.

I hope so... Then I won't feel like a freak anymore.

Whenever I don a bold lip, I don't know if the stares mean "wow she's so daring and bold" or "omg what a trampy young lady!".

I wish I would of gotten that gloss instead of a backup of lavender whip (Which I probably won't use-luv LW but I know I won't get to it-probably will end up swapping it

)-luv other colors more!!

i've been wanting to get boy bait but sadly all the macs closest to me r sold out *sigh*

so instead i got partial to pink which is still nice though

newayz im not hearing much about light over dark does it not get ne love toooooooo?

lol it was the only 1 i got it works pretty good to give a nice bronzy glow on my NC25 skin

im still deciding on getting another 1 but not sure yet...

 

[darkishstar]

Geeko: You look so pretty with Moon River! No wonder you love it so much.

I can't wait to get my hands on Hot Planet now, on your recommendation!

If anything, I'm sticking to the 2 I got and no more!
But who knows what will happen when I finally see Grand Duo and Light Over Dark IRL...

That's how it is in Korean culture too. They are all about the natural look. My dad hates my makeup but whatever. I was born and raised in America so that is all I know. I LOVE color!!!!

So I went to MAC today and I only ended up getting Hot planet. My MA swatched all of the blushes with me and he said that the only ones he would put on me were hot planet and moon river. He told me I didn't need all the other ones. I am so glad he said that because I was scared I was going to have to dish out a lot of money today. When I went in there though there were no more hot planet's left. He said he sold the last two right before I came so I got sad. I asked him to check one more time for me and he found one hidden between the light over dark YAY

So I got the last one at my store. I kind of wanted to get love rock and grand duo butI stopped myself from getting them. Earth to earth was really pretty too but I already have nuance. If you don't have nuance go get Earth to earth because I almost got that one too.

 

[abbyquack]

^^ Interesting, the MA yesterday recommended Hot Planet and Moon River for me too. I ended up w/ both of them but I don't know how I feel about Hot Planet yet.

 

[kiss]

After 5 blushes out of 7, I am done with this collection. I love them all!

 

[dreamer246]

LadyJ, you're Korean?! Hmm well ok since you're born in America that makes you American, but I didn't know you had Korean blood in you.

Does anyone know how Light Over Dark compares to Brunette MSF? Swatches or pics, anyone?

Is there anyone else who finds Hot Planet orangey looking on the cheeks? I haven't tried it on yet, but I still think it looks kinda orange...
