MAC - Peacocky discussion

Is there any possibility to buy MUFE in the UK - in stores? I'm in London for a week in a few days! (yay!)

Guru Make-up Emporium sells MUFE, but I think that shop is a bit out of the way really. They have an online store which delivers worldwide, I think. PAM (Make-Up Provisions) also sell MUFE, and I think they're located somewhere near Shepherd's Bush.

lucky you! I can't find paparazz-she anywhere... I passed on noir plum b/c I had the purple from Mickey C (still my favorite line)

i grab 2 more eyeshadows yesterday (so happy they brought in new stock) so my total comes down to:
prance
spectacle of yourself
paparazz-she
ego
centre stage

I actually started out thinking i was gg to get only 2 kissables and i ended up with 5 eyeshadows and 3 kissables (scandelicious, woo me, so vain)! hah this collection was so much fun. i really wanted to get noir plum and tweet me bt i just could not afford it!

I started to notice that they are starting to crease on me too.

It's really strange, but the e/s started to crease on me. I always use (under every e/s I use) UDPP, and the first times I used it with the the Peacocky shadows it was fine, but now they start to crease after a few hours. I don't understand it - what's the matter with my eyelids?!

Same with TFSI.

I'm so sad...

 

[shadowaddict]

I have not had a problem with creasing at all. I always use TFSI pretty much with all e/s. I hope this does not begin to happen with me also.

Hmm... I never noticed the creasing except for one time... I must have done something different that day. I didn't really remember but I think it was because I pat too much of the e/s on the lids and didn't blend it nicely across. It never happened again since then *knock on wood*. I used UDPP as a base. Might also be if the base is not evenly smooth then the eyeshadow creased? I tried it with Artdeco's base and it's not good.

I think I almost used them everyday since I bought it. Either just the mega metals or combined with other eye shadows. I'm glad I splurged on them. I got 6 of the shadows (that's already super huge for me!). I kinda wish I got Noir Plum though... sadly the budget doesn't allow it last month and this month we don't have it anymore in Germany

yup this is the online store that i buy the brand from! very quick postage which is always good!

@Prettypackages - I have very oily lids and the only way I get any eyeshadow not to crease and last for a full day at work is with UDPP/TFSI followed by a sticky/creamy base like Paint Pot, Greasepaint Stick, Shdaestick or Benefit's Creaseless Creamshadows.

What are you ladies pairing with Noir Plum? (and are you using it all over the lid?) I am still in my looking and not touching phaze...

I've been using it mostly in on the outer lid and in the crease. I did a look using it with silver/ greys and tilt (bluish) that I was pretty happy with. I know I'm not supposed to do this, but you can see the results here on my blog:

I promise I'll never link a post again, it's just easier than copying and pasting pictures and product...

Guess what I got??? LOL I found paparazz-she... and a back u of mickey contractor dual concealer.

 

[geeko]

Noir plums is my fav e/s from Peacocky. I love pairing this to create a colorful make up look with Bright sunshine e/s (MAC pro e/s a yellow e/s), Goldmine e/s, Playful e/s with Noriplum in the other v of the eye and blended upwards into the socket area

yay for finding paparazz she!!

 

[martiangurll]

thanks for the ideas folks, I love the idea of contrasting with golds/yellows or freaking out 70s style with silvers. I was thinking of doing a look with Unflappable and maybe Dalliance--I just hope it doesn't pull too green.

 

[Prettypackages]

Ohhh I like the idea of golds and yellows.
thanks LMD. I'll let you guys know how I like it.

I wonder on how they make the decision to make one thing permanent and not another. I would so love the kissables to be permanent and not so much the sheen supremes. They could bring back the sheen supremes every spring but keep the kissable permanent. Super wears like iron on me and I don't know what that is about but I love it.

HerGreyness has mentioned there are newer formulas that they're working on right now that are like the kissables but even better, so it seems to me it's worth it to just put the kissables out there while that's where they're at, and then to consider perm or not perm later on when they've got the mega-formula all ironed out and ready for mass production.

I know what it is about Super (and all the other gorgeous colors I love from this collection) - the texture lets the color just melt onto your lips with such a delicate, natural sheen. 100% light, modern and sexy.

LOL - I guess that's better than squirrels in a nut packing plant!

Speaking of Nior Plum, I will have to do a look using that eyeshadow and show you guys how I used Carbon and Noir Plum together tomorrow.

I got Dalliance, Prance, Spectacle of Yourself and Woo Me yesterday! I think that Dalliance and Prance were the stars of the collection.. very metallic and shimmery =D I am disappointed with Woo Me though.. it was very sheer and almost looked like I had concealer on my lips =s I'll try wearing it over a lipstick the next time I use it..
