Yup!! I was talking with the a MA about that when I tried it on. Its like C-Thru with an ooopmh!

This is one i might backup too. Theres 2 lipglasses on my list right now that are backup worthy. As a rule I try not to do backups anymore unless it a staple item thats been discontinued or is a hot hot hot LE that I NEED. ROFL.

Thanks for the swatch! It probably won't look that different on the lid so that's one thing I can pass on. I hate when I re-think things that are LE that I passed on. My MA let me look through all of their left over LE stuff and I saw Aquavert...so I was just wondering if I needed it.

Exactly! Ooomph! Perfect explaination

It's hard for me to determine what I should get a backup of. I sometimes do it before trying the product! It's based on reviews I read lol.

Sometimes (and I use that word loosely) it seems like that turns out to be everything you've purchased, doesn't it?

I really like Young Thing...But I think Runway Fave kinda edges it out a little

Girl I'm already ahead of ya. Runway Fave is on my list too.

After these collections coming out tommorow/next week I'm taking a break (not counting a small CCO future haul). I have to. It's getting ridiculous.

Remember I was saying I want to get a few Feline's to replace my Graphblack? Well I discovered that I also have Smolder and then i found a brand new box of Engraved too!

Then I kept digging and found a brand new Phone me/Text me liner from Heatherette

It's really bad when you have so much stuff that you literally "find" things in your stash as if you were going shopping. Funny, but not really. know what I mean? I know I'm not alone

After I haul my last few things I'm literally gonna dump out my stash in the middle of the floor and re-organize. It will be like shopping because atleast 50% of my stuff has never been touched

PLUS---I have Metal Rock that will be on the way next week

After that all I need is some backups of my discontinued nude lippie and I'm DONE.
DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE.

^^ What is your Dc'd Nude Lippie

UNDERPLAY!!! Nowadays I'm reaching for it more than ever. More than my Siss and 4n.

I've gotta get atleast 5 backups. I have not done that many since Mystique lipstick from back in the day. I think I went throught like 6 or 7 of those. I only do it when I know its a color I live in.

Do you have some (underplay)? I've been calling around and I found some in a different city. Hoping to get a CP.

Really??!?

That is on my list too, but only 1 (so far)

How would you compare the 2, Tish?

I also picked up Notable blush today as well. I read somewhere that it was very similar to Ablaze blush but I got it anyway. I liked the rosey plummy something or another look it gave my cheeks. I just liked it.

If I can keep up correctly and not mix up collections this is my haul so far.

Notable
Young Thing l/g (may get one more)
In the Gallery (returned. Purples looked bad on me)
Photorealism
Noteriety
Personal Taste l/g (its from this collection, right? I dunno)

I think thats all I really need from this one. I was looking at the lipsticks today but I need to save up for the other stuff thats about to come out. I tried on The Perfect Cheek but it didnt show up on me at all.

Have you tried the Gone But Not Forgotten Program by MAC/Estee Lauder. There is a thread with the number in it. Call them, they will find it. I think you can only order 3 at a time, like a CCO 3 products of the same.

I bought Colour Matters and Full of Fuschia liners. Am absolutely in love with Colour Matters, I have been looking for a liner like this for a long time (I started wearing liner six months ago, so this makes no sense). But I remember a long, long time ago (5-6 years maybe), L'Oréal had one very bright lime green one, and every time I saw the promo pic, just thought, Wow, need to get that!

It's really pretty when I wear it with my Neutral Eyes Too Faced Palette. It just adds a little kick to the look!

 

[GlitterLids]

Thought I'd post some pics and show you guys why I love and put up with Violet Trance! This is VT layered over Carbon and Black Tied on the lower lid with Unbasic white as the highlight.

C-Thru is too milky at times for me..it is beigey
Young Thing I really like it is C-Thru with a bit of gold not as thick
RunWay fave to me a mixture of C-Thru and Young Thing...but I see no grey in it on me just a really pretty neutral...

CThru is just so thick to me ...not sure but it does not compare to either to me especially texture wise ...

 

[TeresitaMC]

Thanks so much, Tish! C-Thru is thicker in my opinion, too. You make Runway Fav sound even better! Now I wonder if I should change my quantity from 1 to 2 lol

 

[chickatthegym]

OK I bought Young Thing yesterday after reading this thread... and now I am wondering about Runway Fav... I need to stop reading this LOL!

But I agree with ya'll- Young Thing is SUPER pretty and a really great everyday neutral. It will prob be my new go to gloss for awhile since I need a new Underage. Has anyone tried Young thing over blankety? that's my totally fav l/s right now!

 

[nunu]

Ok, since Notable blush is sold out everywhere, i want to ask if there are any close dupes to it by MAC?

TIA

 

[TISH1124]

The only one I found was House Wine and it is also Dc'ed....i hope to hear some responses as well because I love Notable....,but it's not sold out here

 

[nunu]

My MA said it's simmilar to Desert Rose. But i couldn't compare them because Notable wasn't on display.

However, it does remind me of one of the beauty powder blushes that were released in early 2008, i just can't remember the name of it and haven't seen notable in real life to compare.

I hope someone can help us

I finally wore my Photo Realism quad yesterday. I love it! I am glad I got this and the Notoriety quads. These are the only items I got from this collection.
