MAC - Makeup Art Cosmetics Discussion

[shontay07108]

Ok, it's official: I HATE technakohl liners. I tried warming it up, I tried applying on my actual skin and not the water line. Either way you look at it, it's a hot mess. I want to burn these things. I want to put them in a bag attached to an anchor and drop it into the atlantic ocean. I'm going to give this to a buddy, but after she uses them she may not be thanking me. I won't let this crap take up space with all the rest of my beautiful products. Mac, I love you, but I am not happy about these liners.

His purchase is an instant topic changer!

See I would love to have a plasma TV. But 5 of the EXACT SAME TV is a little much!

He must really like the quality.

I do agree with Bunny about the Notoriety Quad though, it's just not offering as much payoff as I would expect from such a deep brown and you can certainly use sparingly on those deep colors if you require a lighter wash of color. I've found myself wondering why I chose COC launch to stop going to MAC for a while (nevermind that I'd spent thousands on MAC that year and the wallet needed a break)

Someone asked what ULTA was. ULTA is a beauty supply store along the lines of Sephora but with less high brow lines. They sell everything from Urban Decay to Maybelline along with lots of nail, hair and fragrance products and ours has a salon as well. HTH

I'll be your buddy Shontay!

My stuff came in thursday, yesterday I wore the in the gallery quad, and tarnish e/l on the waterline. (I liked the contrast between the green and purple) not my best look but definately subtle and simple. Today I'm playing with photorealism but not 100% sold. TO me the technikhol texture is fine but I will see. Maybe tomorrow I will play with them and use crest the wave and haunting (the two singles I got).

And to me it is like Aquadisiac and too Dolly. But a bit more Sheer but its definately in that "Tealtastic" family. We'll see how it fares on my eyes tomorrow though.

Oh, now it is starting... I am getting exciting and nervous...

The counter is closed now, the next time it will open on Monday I will be there.

I already see myself in front of the counter on Monday with a Starbucks Vanilla Latte waiting for the counter to open.....

Jeanette, can you make me a Starbucks smiley??

 

[Ursula]

Susanne, this must truly be painful for you. I would die having to wait longer than everyone else! Gah! You're a trooper. Can't wait to see these colors on you. I hope you'll do an FOTD or two.

I used to learn to wait

And I am still excited every time again although most of you already have a collection.

I really want to make more FOTDs again - I got more brunette today

I have a lot to do for school at the moment, I want the best for my students, but should not forget the time for myself

[Face2Mac]

^^From everything in collection, what are you most excited about?

I am waiting to get Off the Page and Haunting to hear more reviews. I have Firespot and love it, though I just recently started using it, so holding off on OTP.

looky here NYX Cosmetics Canada - Dealer Listing list of all stores that carry nyx

the jumbo eyeshadow sticks crease on me instantly. even mac CCBs don't crease that much. actually, other than chrome eyeshadows, i haven't found anything i liked from NYX
