Lol, guess my eyes were playing games.

I've a good color payoff with Orgasm (I'm NW15), and I used to apply Handfinish as highlighting on top of it. I go easy with blushes, so probably I used a light hand.

SR applied as a blush looks to metallic on me, but this way I think it's perfect

I wore the lavender side of Hang Loose MB today on my lids as suggested by a few of you (sorry, can't remember who, Elegant and someone else?). It was so purrty, it should be a MES with a coordinating darker colour (I paired it today with a rich chocolate brown colour!).

I also opened my package from MAC with Stereo Rose in it. Funny, I was starting at it in the box, and wasn't sure if it's what I expected it to be based on pics here, but it looked interesting enough! When I opened up the actual case, I thought it was nice, but did I hear a church choir in the background? No. The beauty of it is that it applied so nice and evenly. I'll comment more in the SR thread!!!

So I finally got the rest of my ITG haul yesterday

Jazzed - does not look bad on me (NW45), unless I am disillusioned. It came out a nice coral color and blended nicely with my pigmented lips. I also tried it with coral crepe pp underneath. Both looked okay to me. If I try to add gloss to it, it starts moving, so I won't be doing that, which is fine by me. I also swiped a little Call My Bluff over it - looked good that way too.

Go For It - Very wearable shade for my skin tone. I also tried it over Blooming Lovely. The result was a beautiful bright purple color - it's what I assume Up The Amp might look like. Also paired it with Funtabulous dg. Nice.

Chillin - haven't really played with it much yet.

This morning I lightly applied I Like It Like That and topped it off with Pinkarat lustreglass. It was very subtle and very pretty.

No pics yet I'm afraid. It has been a long week. I'll try to get some put up this weekend. They never turn out true to color anyway. Thank God for 3 day weekends!

Sorry if this has been asked already, but were there any free shipping codes within Canada? Thanks!

I've several pink blushes, but a peach like Orgasm still looks better on me

I love the lightest color strip on Love To Love mes. Although not terribly unique, it really gave a pretty wash & lightened up the eye area. Added a thin line of black liner & a light dusting of BOR blush

And a light appl. of I Like It Like That (which I also love)

I need advice/help PRONTO!!!! Please!

Just got my back-ups of Go For It and they are completely melted. I can't even see the product. What do I do from here? Will MAC take them back???

I've never had this happen- help!

If you ordered from MAC.com then they will replace them I believe. I had a lipstick melt before and I called customer service and they sent out a replacement. Don't worry. I bet they will do the same for you.

Absolutely contact customer service ASAP! I don't know if someone at a store can take back something you ordered online (if you ordered online), but you can at least ask. There are also customer service reps you can reach on the phone or live online.

YES and I believe most of the time (according to another Specktra topic about MAC Online shipping flubs) they let you keep the mistake item, which you can B2M!

 

[laylalovesmac]

Thanks for the advice!!! I called, and they are sending replacements which should be here on Tuesday! Great idea @ the B2M! Will def. com in handy!!!

 

[peachsuns]

^ Hope your replacement will be OK.

Just curious. Has anyone bought any backup(s) except Stereo Rose from this collection?

 

[sapnap]

I finally got my stuff and got to see this collection in person!

I got Stereo Rose and Jazzed l/s. SR is lovely and shows up very well on my NC 44 skintone.

The MA tried BOR on me and i wasnt completely swept away. It looks great on ppl lighter and darker than I am but on me, it looks ookkk

.. i thot it looks similar to vintage grape blush but it doesnt. on my skin tho it looks similar to other stuff i have. I actually prefer Love thing cos it a redder plum and BOR is a pinker/purple plum... wish i cud make it work!

I Loved go for it by itself and with chillin on top as well... may go bk for go for it.. I like it like tht looked like a very wearable blue pink with a lavender tone on moi .. Go for it together with I like it like tht is the BOMB!.. i may have talked myself into getting these two lippies now

(

Didint get call my bluff(the nude one) cos its similar to fresh brew on me and i just got an awesome nude from a drugstore brand.. none of the other blushes called out to me.. happy together was damn pretty but a bit light for my skintone.

i liked love to love MES, fresh and easy and soften the mood (apart from the blues and the green one).. but i didnt buy any.
will try and put up pics soon! and Winnie- will pm u my MA's name.. she is awesome!

well yes, I got a backup of I like it like that ls

 

[peachsuns]

^ Very good choice!

I liked I Like It Like That, but I didn't buy it since I'm on lip product no buy. It was beautiful.

I like Hang Loose, but Erin said those MBs are prone to crack in the middle. So, I was curious if anybody has bought backups. Is Hang Loose very unique or dupe-able? It's awfully pretty though.
