MAC Quite Cute Discussion

[Piarpreet]

I PMed you

@urbansweetheart- i know! i was kinda of disappointed. i had promised someone that i would look for Candy Yum Yum for them when I went over there. I'm just glad I didn't make the trip over there just for MAC.

Here's a pic of me wearing CYY today. Someone already said it looked too 80s. lol oh well

I caved and bought Playtime off eBay. It looks gorgeous on some of you..... I couldn't resist. It wasn't even on my radar in the first place. hmm....

How is anyone that got the quad liking it? I'm thinking about picking it up, but I can't make up my mind....

I bought Barry M's Shocking Pink lipstick (number 52) today, as it reminded me of Candy Yum Yum. It's every bit as bright and neon-looking, but just a little lighter in colour, and I'd say it would be a very good substitute (and much cheaper, too). It stains my hand just as much, too LOL

 

[keyflyhair]

You are a cutey-putey lil' momma tismama !!

 

[kimbunney]

I finally got my CYY!!! It came today with Playtime and they put the cute little pins in too. I been whining and screaming about CYY but when I tried them on I liked Playtime better lol. CYY is def. bold, but I'm not scared of bold.

They should change the SOLD OUT to COMING SOON like Playing Koi and Quite Cute. Yesterday I tried NYX Fuschia lipliner with Play TIme and topped it off with Extra Amps d/g. IT turned out so goregous! I even tried Candy Yum Yum and Play Time together and loved it. Right now I'm wearing Playing Koi lightly on the lips and put Moth To Flame d/g over it and a think layer of Phiff! d/g.[/quote] That combo sounds hot. It's amazing what we can do with makeup =) [/quote] Yes!! It's such a gorgeous combo! I also did it with NYX Fuschia lipliner, Candy Yum Yum and Extra Amps d/g. My new favorite hot pink lip combo. Today I mixed CYY and PT again and this time topped it with Stop! Look! d/g!

I just cant get Playing Koi to work for me! Gloss just makes it worse. How are you ladies wearing it?

Going to wear CCY to work tomorrow, we'll see how it goes. I need to get my all time fav dazzleglass to put on top of these QC lippes...Funtabulous! Has anyone tried that yet?

yay! I'm so happy you finally got your order!!

 

[geeko]

oh geeko, cyy looks so yummy on u.. it does nt look very matt though.. did u put gloss over it?

ur mum is so cool! i cnt believe she is pulling tt off too! awesome!

Nope, but I wore a lipbalm below it so that could explain why it doesn't pull off too matte lookin though.
My mum wears nothing but bright hot pink or bright orangey colors, If she wear any colors lighter than those colors, she will look sick.

How is anyone that got the quad liking it? I'm thinking about picking it up, but I can't make up my mind....

I personally really like the quad! I think to get a nice color payoff, only thing needed is a good base. I've been using my NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencil in Milk, and it hasn't failed me yet =]

Thanks for responding! I think I'll try to get it next week when I have money..... and I'll look into picking up that NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencil too. I wonder if they have them at Walmart or maybe Ulta?? I'll have to really look. I haven't been in a drugstore makeup aisle in a while.

 

[queen_kitty]

Walmart doesn't carry NYX, but Ulta does! Make sure you grab a suitable pencil sharpener with it when you buy it! Milk jumbo pencil is really amazing though. I usually put it on over my primer of choice by drawing a few lines on my lid, then I take my fingers and blend it out really good.

I really want that quad now, but I just don't want to spend the money, lol!

Awesome! Thanks!! I'll go have a looksie!!

In the little land of New Zealand at my local MAC counter it isn't being released until the 9th of May. Lucky me got in early and have managed to reserve two CYY lipsticks. The downside is that it costs $40NZD per which is $32USD for it.
If you would recommend one of the blushes would it be Sakura or Giggly? I'm torn between both but sensibilty says to get only one of them.

dxgirly - If you don't mind buying online cherry culture sell NYX and seem to always seem to be in stock.

 

[singer82]

So the quad works with a white base? I've been having troubles with it

[GlamQueen21]

I'm going to try NYX JEP in Milk for the base for my CUTie Quad on Sunday! I even ordered Pure White Chromaline online.

 

[MACina]

This is the perfect base for me!

I use it very,very often because nearly every color looks much more intensive over it.

I have both and I love both. They are very different on the skin (I am NC20). Giggly is a good staple blush if you are lacking in that department. It is a warmer, sweet bubblegummy pink on the cheeks. Sakura is more unique. It pulls more of a cooler purpley-mauve-pink. It depends on what is in your stash already. Even though I have a lot of blushers, I didn't have any of these colours. I've been wanting dainty, but never got to it due to these LE collections. Even if you have nars orgasm, giggly is still worth having as it is not peachy. It's a straight up pink blush. I first got Sakura blush, because it was said to be the most unique. I loved the formula (super easy to apply, blend, and fix), so I looked back at all my colors and saw that I don't own a pink like giggly (because I never bought Dainty lOL). Both are pretty easy colors to wear, so I can't see you going wrong with either of them. I

With a light hand, they both give this beautiful glow. I've been overdoing it a lot (Smashbox blush brush), so I am curious as to why people say that these are not pigmented. I have gentle (perm. purple MB), but sakura is much more pigmented. I can understand that these might not show up on darker skintones, but they are not poor products at all. I believe these products are Asian youth culture inspired, and they like their makeup natural, light, and sheer (a common thing I've noticed among a lot of other local Asian girls as well). I also went to a few Asian cosmetics stores and the majority of products were sheer, pale, and sparkly/shiny. An MA also told me it was inspired by recent runway theme of light and pale. I am not sure about this as I don't really follow runway trends and magazines. I can understand that many of us are disappointed as a lot of us here love our pigmented products, but there are a lot of others out there who don't want that. I think that a sheer product doesn't necessarily mean poor product, otherwise why would the quad sell out in Canada? I know for a fact, my mom and 2 younger sisters prefer sheer makeup and a ton of others. This is a collection that is truly for them. I just feel a little unhappy with how people are saying that this collection is poor in quality. I like the concept of it. It is just that the colors are not as universal (except for CYY and Playtime which are fabulous on everyone I've seen!).

Hope that helps someone + procrastinating study time

sorry about the huge price increase but at least you get a couple of them without stressing!
