MAC - Peacocky discussion

[Fiberluver]

^ shadowaddict,

that's like saying the devil made you do it!

I love paparazz-she. I got my hands on it earlier this week and love it!

It is a unique color, isn't it?

I also picked up Noir Plum at the same time and love that as well.

Went to the MAC counter today ONLY to get my MSFN...ending up picking up Tweet Me and SOY! Ughh I was not supposed to be getting any more of these..I already have Dalliance, Prance, Unflappable and Center Stage. They are just so dang pretty! So now I officially have 6 of these eyshadows when I originally only wanted Unflappable...Also I LOVE Tweet Me..I was hesistant to get this because I thought it was too close to Melon pigment since I have that one already. But I swatched them side by side and there is definitely a difference. Melon pigment seems to have more of a goldish sheen to it imo...anyhoo I am done buying these eyeshadows! Any more I get will have to be at the CCO one day..

 

[shadowaddict]

^^Yep, the devil got to you too I see.

No no no, don't say that, it's not fading, la la la la, can't hear you.
I had not planned on getting Paparrazz-she since I have Firespot. But when I went to the counter today to get Noir Plum and Prance I swatched and I couldn't stop looking at it. It was so pigmented and it made me bring it home.

lol! the fading wasnt massive, but still noticeable. but dont forget i'd been wearing it since 6am and i tend to get hot and sweaty with my job because i end up carrying around 40'' tvs and even bigger sizes too! but yes the colour is amazing! i freaking love it! i do still need to compare it to copper sparkle pigment though, thy look kinda similar.

I need this to hurry up and get released here! Tomorrow hopefully...I just ordered two Nars blushes from asos to get me through!! After Peacocky, I'm definitely starting a makeup ban - my makeup case is overflowing, and yet I don't even have enough clothes to fill a suitcase!

lol! yeah i have much more make up than clothing! i cant help myself! i'd rather have some nice outfits that last a long time than lots of cheapo clothing though. and this way i can afford more make up!

Yay I managed to depot PRS and CS without breaking them!

Used the "no heat method", thanks for all the depotting tips!

Did some KL experimenting y-day with different lip liners. I was surprised how much they changed the color of the kissable. I believe I got a shade close to Super k/l when I filled my lips with this neutral beige lipliner and applied Woo Me over it. Then I tried Exxxhibitionist with the same beige liner and got this muted coral shade, extremely wearable and toned down. Exxxhibitionist with a bright red l/l got me close to Toxic Tale but not as neon and more red. I should try it with a hot pink l/l too and see where that takes me.

I still need to find Flaunting It. A friend of mine is doing a CP for me (yes I decided to get SoY lol) but Flaunting It was sold out from her store and online. I guess it was the most popular kl in US?

I guess it was the most popular kl in US?

I guess it's one of the most popular everywhere... but I dare say I prefer So vain!!

so far i got noir plum and haven't used it yet...for some reason it's just hard for me to purchase any of these shadows...i don't get it haha.

Wow, Love Peck is the most perfect red!
I wore it yesterday and absolutely love it. It's a bold colour for sure and I was a bit self-conscous wearing it, but it suits me really well. So glad I got it!
It's really a shame that the KL don't last very long on me - otherwise I'd backing these up like crazy! (Well, maybe quite good - my poor wallet broke over Peacocky, I think!)

I'm new here, and you ladies are great enablers. Since the time I've been visiting this thread, I've bought most of the peacocky eyeshadows. I'm still thinking about getting prance, super and temper tantra.

We have loads of fun here. These shadows are amazing.

I hope you enjoy your Peacocky haul.

It's FINALLY online! Shadows are 43 freaking dollars! More than TT shadows! What a joke...anyway, I'm getting Dalliance and Unflappable, I may pick up Prance if it's still available when MSFN in my colour ever comes back in stock. Feeling a little ripped off, hope these are worth it!

 

[JennsJewelz]

^^ Yikes!!! These were $23.50 CAD, and I thought that was expensive!!! Dalliance and Unflappable together is gorgeous though, and they're both super versatile colours. Hope you enjoy them!!

The prices are getting ridiculous, right? In here they are around 31-32 dollars, also more than TT shadows. People are so turned off by the price increases. Mac's just getting plain unaffordable

 

[JennsJewelz]

^^ I agree - they should be keeping their prices as equivalent as possible instead of this crazy inflation internationally! The base prices in the States are much more affordable, although they also seem to be on the rise...

This also drives me insane with books at the bookstore. If they were more affordable, they'd be able to make more sales!!!

The only way I justify it is that if I'm going to pay $25 for a poor quality Revlon quad...I might as well be paying $43 for an excellent quality eyeshadow, use less and don't have as much drama. I'd love to see anyone try to justify the amount things cost here. I just bought 2 Nars blushes from ASOS, so in GBP, and with the exchange rate they both cost me AUD$64.95 and free shipping...ONE Nars blush in Australia costs $62. The eyeliners from Champale cost $32 each...and they charge me $15 for express shipping (which I need to get because of the insane weather, I'd like it to arrive...standard is $10!!!). This will be my last makeup buy for a while, apart from the MSFN which is a necessity since I don't actually have any powder at all at the moment. Since AUD$1=USD$1, please explain. It's not just MAC...Australian brands cost more here than overseas!
