Hey Baby! I thought of you....as I bought Gilded Ash!!! I was wondering if you were going to get it my grey fiend friend

Now everyone who bought the Metal Urge collection makes me want to buy some now lol I'm so tempted to buy Pink Platinum, Cocomotion, Gold Mode and the Reflects Very Pink

I didn't have last years. I put mine on with a p/p at 7:30. It's now 8:48 and I have to say there is some creasing. Mainly in my outer crease. So maybe I will try it with the LLL like TDoll did in her video and see what it's like then. So I will be making a trip back to MAC tomorrow for it.

I know it's not the same as the eyes, but I wore these on my hands from 2-7pm today and they didn't budge! They reminded me of those pearlglider pencils (which sound like tampons, btw) in their stalwartness. Cannot wait to use these tomorrow!

you know me well, yes, I couldn't resist!! I hope you like it! I will definitely be trying to wear it tomorrow, I have a presentation to do for class, grey would be hot!

I know its totally OT for this thread, BUT want a uber hot grey eye?

-stray grey paint pot as a base all over lid.
-put stila's kitten over top (lightly)
-then put some moth brown or something dark to deepen your outer v/crease.
it.was.awesome.

I like how you've gone with your retro avatar Elegant One!

I only got gilded ash and spiritualize. I am so tempted to go back for forged rose and verdigris. Those were the only standouts imo, and I fully agree that pink platinum is kinda sucky, it just showed up as a golden frosty color with very little pink.

I asked the artist at the counter if these were reformulated, she said yes, these are creamier and will not dry out as fast.

Mine was only 3/4 full also, I think it's because of all the settling it does during shipment.

So your saying as base the rumor is to use Liquidlast liners? I'm so not good are the abreviation thing. I mean i would think paints are good because they go on as a cream base but they dry down. I stopped by the Macy's counter and I am considering of getting a few but will not if i dont have a base that will work for them.

Heres a link to vid that might help for a base

YouTube - MAC Metal-X Application: Getting ready for the re-promote!!

I just placed my Mac order and I'm pretty proud of myself

I just got Gilded Ash and Spritualize pigment.

Here's are my thoughts on the collection....

The metal x cream eyeshadows do feel different..more creamy. When I swatched them the only ones that stood out to me were Gilded Ash, Forged Rose, and MetalBlu (got this last year). I asked the MUA who's a manager at the counter about LL as a base and she said she wouldn't think it would be a great base for it. LL dry out real quick and you would need to work fast to make it work. Her suggestion were paints. I'm going to try it out with paints and see how it goes b4 I buy any LL. Gilded Ash was something different and it'll be great with a smokey eye....gotta love a great smokey eye. Spritualize pigment I must admit is something different that we hardly see. It's like a combo of Juxt e/s and Swimming e/s. The LL I passed on till I can try out the holding power of Metal X on it's own. Overall, I think the collection was OKAY...something not to splurge on yanno!?! C'mon other exciting collections are on its way.

HTH

Just one pigment and one glitter for me. Now after seeing HK I am more than sure!!

 

[macosophy]

oh shoot i just bought two today thinking that they are so pretty!
i guess i should have read this thread first...

 

[Krasevayadancer]

Save your money, buy mufe flash colors instead. Sure they are creamy, but the pigmentation is amazing!

That and we have Hello Kitty to think about now!

 

[abbyquack]

^^ OT but I lovvveee MUFE's eyeshadows! I just got the coral matte one and it's beautiful!

 

[Krasevayadancer]

Oh yes, MUFE is amazing! I will post swatches at some pt

You know what i dont know if this has happen to anyone else let me know..but i swatched this collection yest finally and i went straight for the pink one first but when i put it on my hand it turned like a iridencent green...very wierd..then one of the young MA's there was trying to sell it to a customer and she swatched the pink one as well and then put some green e/s to show how it looked but i didnt think that was good at all when you need to get a pink e/s and then put green on top..it was weird.

either way i bought metalblu(after i said i wouldnt), gilded ash(which is hotness) and material gold( im gonna love this as a highlight) i was determined to budget and even though spiritualize was tempting i just didnt feel it as much as i wanted too.i dunno...
