MAC - Grand Duos Discussion

[dreamer246]

I have many friends who are like you too, they either work part time jobs that don't pay much or they survive on the very little allowances given to them. But I think you got it worse than them because they don't drive, they don't have pets to feed, and they don't need to fly overseas frequently either. I think fuel and the air ticket costs are the bomb! Have you tried talking to you parents about increasing your allowances? I mean, you could give them a factual breakdown of your expenses and then plan out a reasonable allowance from there. If you decide work part-time, it could affect your grades because you have less time to study.

EDIT: Hey, I was just wondering (since it's dinner time for me), do you and Pumpkin eat the same foods? I don't have a cat so I don't know what to feed them, but if there's some common foods that both of you eat, then maybe it might help cut cost a litte.

Thanks

All that is needed sometimes is a little bit of recognition. As for the parents - I tried that already, but they prefer to spend money on themselves. I cant blame them, somewhere along the way they realized that they really didnt want a second child. My mum has told me she didnt want me. Nice huh? Oh and I forgot to mention my bills - phone and Uni.

Again, I know you meant well, but there is no way I'm feeding my cat the food that is not meant for her. No human food is. Maybe occasional treats, she loves raw chicken, but no cooked food. She's not a bin.

And I wanna have her with me for 20 years or more, for as long as it's possible because i cant imagine my life without her, so she's getting THE BEST CAT FOOD SHE CAN GET. You've seen her pics, she's healthy and vital and her coat is top class material because of all the nutrition she gets.

I will not save up money on my cat's health. No make up is worth it!

Of course you want the best for her, Pumpkin is a precious kitty!

Opps I guess I said the wrong thing again, but I learnt something new.

I've never had pets before, no cats or dogs or bunnies or whatever. So I don't know much about pet care. I've seen an ex-schoolmate sharing her food with the dog before, (as in, literally sharing food from the same spoon, one spoonful goes to the dog and the next spoonful goes to her

) so I thought maybe there was some common food between the 2 of you.

Oh my! She doesnt care about hygiene does she?

Unfortunately improper food results in a unhealthy cat(pet), so it's a no go!

Pumpkin wants to share my cocoa and yogurts, but I really wanna be careful with her diet hahaha

Aww. If Pumpkin knows that you have her best interest at heart, then I'm sure she wouldn't mind not having the cocoa/yogurt that she's craving for.

I swatched Moon River today, but I have no picture.

On the back of my hand without any base or foundation, Moon River does not really show up. The marbled side is lighter than the solid side. When swirled together, I get a lighter colour than if I just use the solid side. It is very sheer and just a hint of shimmer on me. I don't have Dainty so I can't compare them, but Dainty is sheer on me too.

I also swatched Love Rock and Grand Duo. This collection is out at the MAC store here, but no one else was looking at it when I was there. I didn't buy Love Rock, I will pass this collection.

^That does not sound good.

So right, I love you for that, Moxy

Hey guys, i'm so so so disappointed with this collection. I thought i was going to get 4 of these blush, but i came home empty handed.

I thought i was going to get moon river for sure, but it didnt show up on me at all. I'm NC25, it went on chalky and very light, almost like a highlighter, but the texture is not smooth at all.

Love Rock is pretty nice, but it shows up almost like pleasantry which have. Definitely a dupe.

The next one i was interested is intenso, and it shows up like love thing which i have too!

Aww... so sad. The MA also agree the colors are very similar with sonic chic... more for ppl who missed that collection. So for those who have quite a few blush from sonic chic, you may be just as disappointed like me.

Thank you so much for your swatches! Wow.. they barely show up!
I hardly can see Moonriver! I am NC15 so it probably wouldn't do much to my skin. Too dark for a highlighter and too light for a blush?

But I am happy that I can skip them all because I can't wait for the BPB with Style Warriors.

Thank you!! And after seeing the swatches, it just convinces me even more to give this whole collection a pass. I was tempted by Moon River after seeing Erin's photos, but seeing as it barely shows up, I'm no longer tempted.

 

[mizuki~]

I might still get Moon River even though it probably won't show up on me..it seems too pretty to pass...

 

[nunu]

If they are really sheer then i might pass...they aren't going to show up on me.

 

[coachkitten]

Finally a collection that I can skip!

After seeing the swatches and pictures (thanks all) I have no interest in these at all. Thank the Lord because the next couple of collections are going to break me!

 

[purrtykitty]

Wow, those are wayyyy more sheer than I thought they would be. Pass.
