MAC - In the Groove Discussion

[ARmakeupjunkie]

I just want everyone to know that I am loving Go For It lipstick!

I have worn it with Grape liner and Vie Veneto DG, Magenta liner and Funtabulous DG, and Magenta and Grape liner with Funtabulous DG. No matter how I wear it, it's still great!!

I also wear SR as a blush with Lightscapade as a highlight and loved it!!

These are very wearable -- the texture is great, they blend well and they are fairly pigmented. Not at all what I was expecting! I also picked up Band of Roses, my first mineralized blush, on Sunday. And I'm trying to resist going back for Happy Together! My MA used it on me when she did my makeup Thursday, and it was so pretty.

I love the MES formula this time. SO smooth and blendable!

The silver shade of Togetherness reminds me of Knight Divine, but i haven't swatched them side by side to see whethere they are simmilar.

Its so funny because my items are coming in little by little other than the first initial order. They didn't ship my New Vibe, so its coming today, then Blue My Mind which I ordered a day later, & Happy Together & then I'll be getting the 131 brush

yes, I will be seeing mr. ups almost everyday.

Did you get stereo rose?

I agree on Partial to Pink - my fave!

I was told for the middle colour of Blue My Mind Freshwater and for the purple in Togetherness Parfait Amour, but none of them look close.
Maybe Violet pigment?

Elegant One!! you look more than gorgeous! Your hair is amazing!

I have been looking at some of the posts -- but my mind cannot focus quite yet although I realize I need some distraction now.. but I want to thank you and all the lovely ladies who sent me the sweetest messages -- life is hard and we have to all pull together to get thru it and to live a good one.

Again thank you

p.s. I spoke a few years ago to a dermatologist about hair issues (I have tons but was starting to go grey -- thus HerGreyness -- and it seems like when hair starts to age and lose melanin and go grey, the grey/white hairs do come in curly!.. so there are some benefits to getting older

p.s. 2 -- it is lovely to be back!

 

[User38]

on another note, I am glad everyone is enjoying their hauls -- this was an excellent collection.

I have my samples (Band of Roses broken but usable), and some ES -- but missed out on other things which are long gone.

I am very glad though that MAC seems to be reading the customers so well -- but sadly is producing smaller amounts of product, thus all the anxiety in getting our products easily.

Hi Birgit

I was actually more interested in the dark blue of BMM, but it turns out black. I think Nehru is pretty close.

For Togetherness, the purple is beautiful, something between Parfait Amour and the purple side of Odd Couple (I've a palette from a brazilian label with two purples very, very similar to the ones of Togertheness). As for the gray, maybe all labels have a gray similar to that one (I've one from Bourjois and other in a Dior quint).

We love having you here! We can help distract ( I totally understand that) & heal. Being on here with everyone is wonderful in so many ways!

That is so very very kind of you - made my day

So thats what I lost - melanin...amongst other things

but yeah, aging isn't all that bad. I feel better now than when I was half my age.

Oh, & thats too bad about BOR - can they send you another one?

I think they are! I was just on the MAC Canada website today and one of the artists tips was about Hang Loose blush and it recommends you put the lavender side onto your inner eyelid!

Here it is:

Try on a Bohemian twist to summer with Hang Loose Mineralize Blush Duo. Wisk the pearlized lavender into the inner eyelid, and apply high on the cheekbones.
