MAC Pressed Pigments Collection (August 2013)

[raych1984]

Im wearing Damson with Ririboy today and the combo is perfection! The purple base to Damson really comes out! Everyone get Damson! Enabling!!!

Ok, now I need to go and order Damson. I thought I did so well at just ordering two piggies!

I just bought my first Pressed Pigment in Beaming. I haven't tried it yet (hangs head in shame) but I WILL do my next eye look with Beaming. I just went to yt to see if I can find a few tutorials and the first one I looked at was simple, yet very pretty. Check it out.

She used Deeply Dashing.

Did you happen to see how much they were selling it for? I haven't been to my nearest CCO in a long time and have been wanting to take a trip.

Hmmm maybe like 14.75? That sounds right

 

[KMQE716]

Yes :nods:

Ty!

I'm trying to...lol

I've never used a pressed pigment so I'm not finding it hard to skip. Perhaps if I see them in store and try them out I'll pick up one or two, but no current plans to do so

 

[ForeverJenn]

I'm trying to...lol

lol I'm trying to stay off this thread so temptation doesn't show it's face! :nono:

I'm a little mad that there was FINALLY a free shipping code for pros but the email came AFTER the collection was released! And the print was so small on it I missed it anyway lol. Just got an email telling me to hurry because it expires at Midnight...now I have to fight the urge to see if there is anything I need/want because I feel like this is a rarity. MAC knows how to pull you in lol

MAC's video on the Pressed Pigments. I tripped out when she sprayed Fix+ directly ONTO the Pressed Pigment. I don't even like putting a damp brush into my shadows let alone spraying onto them.

ETA: Anyone else ever notice that when you post a link here directly from MAC's site that Pop Sugar thing pops up first?

That kind of ticks me off too! They always seem to do that when I really don't need to order anything. I think they're trying to get people to buy from the Supreme Collection. Since I looked last night, the only item that seems to have made a splash, is Gotta Dash (shipping soon).

I wonder if the Pressed Pigments aren't moving as quickly as they thought they would. If they made more Pink Pepper and actually had Midnight available, there sales would be higher. I am surprised Damson hasn't sold out yet.

Sorry for being so grumpy. I need coffee .... and Pink Pepper and Midnight!

I wish they would hurry up with Midnight before I don't want it lol. I guess it's my own fault for missing the code because I looked back at the Supreme email and the code was there also. Easy to miss seeing it though.

Yep, or it will be past midnight, right?!

 

[butterflyeyes]

 Yep, or it will be past midnight, right?!

Of course the irony of that would be fitting lol. The code expires before midnight...and Midnight becomes available AFTER midnight lol

 

[LV2EVOLVE]

Don't worry, Midnight is perm, but Pink Pepper isn't.

Thanks for posting this! Now I want to buy some pressed pigments. Lol the look she did is gorgeous.

Well, the only thing I can think is, that's probably the best way to evenly moisten the product before applying. If you use a wet brush, just because of how the hairs lay, it could cause unevenness and streak on applying. This is why I never would use a wet brush with the pressed pigments - it would dry unevenly and crease and get crusty. I'd just mist my eyes with Fix+ after application, instead. Putting the Fix+ directly on the pan would be smoother, but yeah, kind of weird from a hygiene standpoint, since those p/ps feel so moist to begin with. Maybe their water content is already high enough to allow it?

I love this artist a lot too - she's her own living example of her artistry! She is absolutely gorgeous and so glam when she's done with her work.

OMG,

, me likey! So much for behaving! I metaphorically was driving down "I'm Going To Behave Street" until I saw that video, all of a sudden I find myself quickly veering off course, making a quick U-turn down "I Need This, This And Two Of That Boulevard"!
