MAC - MAC in Lillyland Discussion

bgajon - ITA both of those blushes would look beautiful on you! Also you mentioned Shift to Pink lip gelee, that one is so pretty! I actually got that one first because I love purples & then ended up with the other ones later.

Oh & like it has been mentioned before these blushes are so pretty on the lips especially under glosses. I like So Sweet So Easy the best to use on my lips, it's such a pretty pink!

YEAH, can't wait to hear how you like it! Now that it's been talked up so much, I hope you do!

This collection totally caught me by surprise, I wasn't going to get anything at first lol.

Oh that's a good question, wonder if they had a typo on the site?

Have fun using your OO tomorrow!

I used Optimistic Orange today on my cheeks and lips. It looks so beautiful and natural! It's actually a red orange, not neon orange, almost like Dior's bright red blush (can't remember the name). I feel it's somewhat similar to BE Morning blush after you wear it for a while and it melts into your skin. It left a bright pink almost fuchsia stan on my pinkie that washed away real easy with water. But it is definitely coral or light orange red on my cool-toned lips, it might be a great way to warm blue-toned red lippies. On my cheeks, OO looks as warm pink with a touch of peach rather than true beige peach. Loved it. I used BE stippling brush, one light swirl for each cheek. The blush is still on after almost 9 hours of wear over face powder, I can't believe it. Hope my skin loves it, too

I too believe I need to get at least and only ONE of these blushes now after all the raves!

Even though I was going back & forth on wanting them as I'm trying not to buy too much

But I think I WILL get So Sweet, So Easy, which is the one I loved continuously since we found out about the collection. I just HOPE it's not sold out by the time Spring Forecast comes out!

i am still staying strong and skiping the blushes - no matter how big my want is for florida!

Ahahahaha...no...this can't be true! I wondered to myself "did I speak to soon?" and on I went to the Canadian MAC site....it's the only one that is sold out! No fair

 

[Hypathya]

^^ Mmm... definitely not fair!!! But, hey, maybe it wasn't meant to be, I'm pretty sure you'll get something that makes it up to you!

I wanted a blush sooo bad and he knew that. They were sold out of all of them.. and they just had optimistic orange. He got it for me to try... and I was bummed because I thought, "ugh, it's going to be yucky orange.." I didn't see it yet, he's on his way home, but I'm so excited now. I came in this thread to see what you were all saying about that color, and it seems you all like it. Yay! I am so far behind on the MAC collections... I wanted By Candlelight MSF and they were sold out. It seems like it's sold out everywhere.

Sure we remember you! I hope you liked OO, I am still waiting on the collection. It was soo sweet of your dh to get you a surprise

I got mine monday, but the last three days were crazy hectic in the morning and today I had a job interview (that I bombed), so i didn't feel like trying something new. So tomorrow it is!

Oh, sorry to hear that. I am sure your next one will be a lot better. *fingerscrossed*

 

[GlamQueen21]

bell1342: I saw By Candlelight MSF at my MAC store yesterday and they had plenty in stock. I'll give you my MAC store's number and hopefully that they can ship it for you.

I tried JDV today and I absolutely adore it! I thought it'd be too coral on and I would need to apply a bronzer over it, but nope! So so pretty all on it's own! I used my 188. It took a little longer to apply than when I use a powder blush, but I'm sure that'll change once I get the hang of it. And it looked so pretty and dewy! I am sooo glad I decided to come on this thread, because I had planned on completely skipping these blushes!

And thanks Bis and Smokesignal for your kind words! I really wasn't bummed out about the interview since it was my first in about 7 years (had my two kids during that time)! I needed to get that first one out of the way and figured as much!

I am wearing it today too, and I love it as well! Pinkier than it looks, and gorgeous on the lips! So glad that I went back for it.

I hate to be bad (not really) but I could really see Florida being very pretty on your cheeks & lips

hee hee! not bad of you at all. i may get florida now i know i won't eb buying blushes from the spring forcast collection! florida looks so good and of course i love the name because florida is my fave place in the world!!... that i have been to so far

 

[Hypathya]

Now I'm definitely considering to get at least one blush!!!

I was skipping this because planning on getting 4 blush ombres from Spring Color Forecast, but since they are a scamp I'm getting none. So now, I can guilt-free have at least one from this collection!
