MAC - MAC in Lillyland Discussion

[AudreyNicole]

I have been stopping everytime I pass a mirror in the house to check out my Report Life lipgeleed lips.

I can't stop staring. I am getting a backup or maybe 2! Pretty much a nude lip on me, with lots of shine, and beautiful pink sparkles in the right light. Love the look of dazzleglass, HATE the thickness and stickyness. This lipgelee is just what I have been wanting!

Audrey - I'm confused. When I was at Nordies she put what she called Resort Life on my hand, it looked like a pale pink in the tube (kinda like I think it was called Dame in a dress?) but on my hand it looked like a violet pink? I thought it was very pretty on so I know why you would love it.

Yes, that was Resort Life. It looked violet pink on my hand too, and different in the tube, almost like a pale taupey pink. I was going to pass on it to think about it, but the MA showed me their stock. They only got 5 in, and only had 3 left, so I tried it on and loved it. I don't have very pigmented lips, and it doesn't have alot of color when applied lightly, so it just looks like a nude pink gloss with sparkles. I just love when I come across a product that I didn't even expect to buy, let alone love. I have had alot of problems with MAC dazzleglass and lipglass drying out my lips terribly when I don't wear lipstick under them, but lip gelees don't do that to me. I love it so much that I want to buy enough to put one everywhere.

Since they won't bring back my EZ Baby, it's a darn good thing they finally came out with something that I love as much (even if they look nothing alike).

Elegant, I thought the texture of the blushes was fine, also. I also said that they are pigmented despite other reviews. I hate using my fingers for blush so I just use my 150 brush and it's always fine. I use that on those heavily pigmented Nars blushes. I may pick up Florida tomorrow. Something tells me I'll regret it if I don't.

 

[elegant-one]

Ah, well then - thought I was losing my mind

I thought it was one of the prettiest lip colors. Nude pink - I should pick one up. EZ Baby... sigh

I'm so glad you found a makeup treasure

You think you'll regret it if you do or don't? Ah, Florida would be so pretty on you!!! Yeah, I'm lazy so I use my fingers they're faster

 

[shontay07108]

Elegant, I meant I'll regret it if I don't. I looked at it after I submitted it and went

.

 

[SmokeSignal16]

Yep I already have 2 of each lipgelee but I might pick up one more

I am going to try the one cremeblush I picked up today out tomorrow and see if it warrants more colors/backups. I hope that maybe in the summer there might be some hope for tendertones to be back! I know there was a thing about it when they did the Spring/Summer trends, hopefully it's not one of those things that was just a face chart!

[spectrolite]

^I didn't think I would get too much from this collection but I ordered 4 things.... 3 of them blushes. What can I say, I'm a blush FIEND heheh.

I ordered:
-Florida
-Optimistic Orange
-Joi-de-vivre and
-Pearlmatte Face Powder - I think it looks gorgeous! It was a tossup between this or one of the MSF's from Warm n Cozy but I already have 10+ MSF's so it's time to try something new.

I didnt expect to get anyhting from Lilyland, but whne i went to the counter, Florida Blushcreme just SCREAMED for me to get her lol Its sheers out so nicely on the skin and blends like a dream

I have oily skin and it stayed on me.....I had it on for maybe 5 hours yesterday and it was still as vibrant as when I put it on. I plan to pick up the Orange one next bc it came out peach on me

 

[shontay07108]

Purplerinne, don't tempt me with that orange blush!

I passed on it b/c I have Taj Mahal by Nars, which is like a burnt orange, but if this thing is coming out peach...

. I also have a peachy Nars blush and I keep forgetting if it's called Gina or Gilda. I got it not too long ago. No enabling, please.

 

[LMD84]

argh! reading all these raves on the lip gelees is making me want one so bad

i know i won't like it but want it because they look pretty in the tube!

 

[shontay07108]

^ And it'll be a sparkly mess on your lips. You're better off with a drugstore knockoff for less. I just am not a fan of these things. They look awful and juvenile on. Returning mine in a few hours. Debating on whether or not to buy Florida blush.

 

[Mooon_light65]

Thanks so much!

That's a huge help -- and those will work for me!

So, which one would you get when you could only get one and are a nc15 with black hair? I like cremeblushes, but I do just want to get one.
TIA.

 

[AudreyNicole]

I love the colors of the blushes, but I am terrified of a breakout. I also have alot of acne scaring on my face, and I am worried about them settling into the lines/scars. Plus I am worried about how they will fair in the Florida heat... what do you all think?
