OMG! Where in the world has Pink Swoon been all my life? I got the two l/g, Kiss Manish l/s, and the two blushes and just can't quit drooling over Pink Swoon....Its just soo pretty lol

 

[mizuki~]

Whaat?? I haven't even got my package yet and this thread is already dying??

 

[BaDKiTTy69]

Ok, so far I used the first three colors (Nylon, Going Banans and Bitter) and I like how it came out. The colors just pops.

 

[ksanayy]

ugh i did a live chat earlier asking about the comming soon stuff. they basically said the same thing that CHECK BACK NEXT WEEK didnt they said the same thing to a live chat last week about the comming soon =/

Can someone that got the palette tell me if the electric eel is high in pigment? I bought my electric eel a long time ago and i always felt that color was hard to apply in the sense that it seems like a bright color but doesnt go on the same as it looks like it would.
And I'm trying to stay back from going to ebay but I might just do it by next week if they dont have it available by next week on the website.;-)

I don't do buying stuff over websites so when I heard it sold out on the site I called the Pro store on Robertson and inquired.... he said it launches it the next day BE THERE at 10:30, my a$$ got up 5am then went back and forth as to what time I should head down there. I left giving myself four hours to make the short drive.


Lets just say um

I made this lil black bag proud. I was the first one there but decided to sit stalkeresque like fashion in the cafe across the way staring a hole through the window. I was so happy to see the lights go on. Then with an hour to spare I stopped being the naughty lil peeper and headed over to join the awesome guy waiting to get goodies for his girl... yep, that guy pretty much rocked! I told him so

.

As far as what I got, everyone in line was told a one limit per person. Ah to be able to clone yourself at the last minutes notice!

I got it all, even though the MAC artist was trying to state that Devil would look too severe on me...honey i'm fierce, think I give a crap. NO!!! I bought it regardless. YAY!

oh and

I wouldn't have known to call and get my goodies otherwise.

The funniest was overhearing the MAC artists trying to navigate phone calls. He waited til the ebay buyers had left. MWAHAHAHAHAH!

[GlamYOURUs]

Damnit the UPS guy hasn't come around yet. I hope he gets here b4 my folks do.

O where is he, I want my boxxxxxxxxxx.

 

[MACBUG5]

YAY!! Got my Manish stuff finally!!!!!!!!!!!

Loving everything! But much to my surprise I think I love GAT the most!! (I was worried about the brightness). OMG, the color is just so pretty!!!!!!!!

I read on MUA that Cranapple cremestick l/l was a good match for GAT. So the other day when I went to MAC I swatched Cranapple and GAT and yep, seemed to work nicely. I bought Cranapple so I'd be prepared when I recieved GAT. Heehee!!

I also looked at Auburn l/l when I was there (to go with Kiss Manish)....but I wasn't sure how it would look cuz I hadn't recieved it yet. Now that I have Kiss Manish...I just don't know which l/l to get for it. UGHHHHHHH....Next time I go to MAC I'm going to take Kiss M. with me and see if I can find a good l/l match.

Anyone find a good l/l match for Kiss M. yet?????!?!?!??!

(TIA....btw)

Here's what I got:

Kiss Manish
GAT
Pink Manish
Shine Manish
Devil Blush

I got my package!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!
I adore the palette, it is gorgeous and I can't wait to play with it. I am completely, head over heels in love with Girl About Town. I bought two just in case and just gave my extra one to my mother cuz she LOVES the color too!

All I can say is I'm sooooooooooo glad I didn't miss out on this palette!!

 

[GlamYOURUs]

I got mine too!

I bought:
Kiss Manish
Pink Manish
GAT
Shine Manish
Devil Blush

I didn't get the palette even though I should have only b/c I have the colors.
But I am soooo in love with my stuff! Its gorgeous and so it the packaging!

Okay so...

Kiss Manish is a gorgeous rust color. I don't find it to be a Fall color like everyone is calling it. I find it to be more spring and summer like b/c of the brightness and intensity. Deeper, darker and bolder colors are more Fall/Winter IMO. It looks lovely alone and with Shine Manish on top! I find it unique and its not something I have in my collection.

Shine Manish is a deeper coral color. It reminds me of Devil but in gloss form lol. It goes on pretter sheer but it can be buildable. Again, this is something unique in my collection. Its a very everyday color if you wear it alone.

Pink Manish is BEAUTIFUL! Just the pink I was looking for! I do however have to disagree for the people who compare it to Malibu Barbie. Its nothing like it.

But they are similar. I find PM to be more pink than Malibu which is like a toned down hot pink. PM has more impact and color.

GAT is gorgeous!!! I can not believe why I haven't picked this one up before! I guess it was supposed to be that way, and I was supposed to buy it when Manish came out!

Oh and it is NOTHING like Hollywood Nights, at all.

GAT is wayyy more deeper. HN is brighter. But both are rich in color. Pink Manish looks sooo good alone and on top of GAT, it gives it an extra oomfph!

Devil blush

muahahaha can we say HIGHLY PIGMENTED?? With one swipe you can end up looking like a clown, but a pretty clown!

I am sooo in love with this blush! It is beyond amazing. It may not be your go to blush but it is certainly the color that you can wear at any time whether you want to go sheer or brighten up those cheekies.

Overall this collection rocks!!! I actually want to buy back ups of the lippies and glosses if they restock

I will post swatches and comparisons in the swatch thread. hth!

 

[mizuki~]

GlamYourUs: Thanks for the wonderful swatches! Especially the one with GAT & HN. They look so similar in the swatches but I guess not. Which do you like better? GAT or Hollywood Nights?

You're most welcome!
I tried to take the best pictures. They do look similar but really are not all that alike except that they are pink. lol Just different hues. I like them both a lot but I would honestly have to say I would wear GAT more often then HN. HN is a lot brighter.

I totally agree... i'm in love with GAT!

I wish i would have just gotten the pallette. my lips are way too big for all these bright colors. I got 3 pink manishes (i'll probably end up gifting them)

 

[MzEmo]

Bah!
I think bright colours look amazing on girls with bigger lips.
I have a small mouth (to me at least. My lips seem.. short, not long enough? lol), and bright colours look so dumb on me. (Doesn't mean i'm not trying to make them work! haha).

 

[SARAHheartsMAC]

I have gone from not wanting anything to wanting shine manish, pink manish and kiss manish if they restock on the UK site-Bah you enablers!!!

 

[elegant-one]

Manish has restocked on the us site!

Got another Pink Manish & now the Shine Manish! WooHoo
