Hi, i'm from Netherland en new on Spectra
I think i wil buy BMS, i love the colors! It's going to be my first (yes my first hihi) eyeshadow palette from MAC! I have verry sensitive eyes so i ware mosly only mascara (yes my English is great lol) But i love eyeshadow so i just going to buy it. And swatch it for you all on Monday or Tuesday. I think.. i need to buy it online because there are no MAC shops here..
Sorry ladies, I cannot multiquote today but there are a few posts I wanted to respond to. Most importantly, welcome MissHolland to the site--just watch out for all of the evil enablers here. ************************************************** Well, I thought all of the fattie pencils were a skip, now they are all on my list, which means I will need to cut some things. ************************************************************************************* I will pass on both quads and hope to catch them at the CCO. OR, get my hands on Inglot 144--instead of When in Rio, the main reason I wanted BMS quad--the rest is IMHO dupeable. Can I be strong enough to resist the packaging and will the quads actually sell out this time due to said packaging? Only time will tell. **************************************************************************** Skipping the lipglosses, swatches make them seem imminently dupeable. Well, except for maybe Underdressed--I don't think I will be able to restrain myself. IF, a very big IF, I saw a swatch comparing to the lipglass from Wonder Woman and they were similar, then I'd skip. I bet that Roman Holiday CSG is close however. So, perhaps I will be able to skip after all... ***************************************************************************** Sun Dipped does not have any grey undertones, not sure where that info is coming from. ************************************************************************************** For all the bronzer curious PPP out there, I never even considered a bronzer before, but Sun Dipped and Nude on Board were quite wearable and opened my horizons. I think Sun Dipped is best for all tones, Nude on Board is slightly more yellow (warm toned) but keep in mind my skin amps any yellow or orange like crazy and it still looks fine on me, so it would probably work on even the palest ladies. AND, the finish is quite lovely, very finely milled and a matte finish--hard to find in a bronzer. I would recommend getting one or the other, both if you can afford both, because you will really have to work hard to find a better bronzer for pale ladies. I will probably get one of each (and skip the quads to do so) because they are just sublime. If you have to settle on one or the other, get Nude on Board if you are warm toned and Sun Dipped if you tend to redden in the sun or are very cool toned, or you want to avoid yellow tones. HTH **************************************************************************************** I cannot skip RFL blush. After giving away Ripe Peach and needing to satisfy the quest for the HG coral blush, I would never get over the skippers remorse. HN blush I can live without (I think) ************************************************************************* I am still getting both dazzle lipsticks and FMP as well. So, the list is now SD and NoB bronzers, RFL blush, all the pencils, both dazzle lippies. I think I can live with that.
