MAC - Tendertones 08 Discussion

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

Just got back from checking the tendertones out...I loved them! I bought Ez Baby which actually showed up more on my lips than I thought it would. But what really sold me on this color, was that I put it over Nars Roman Holiday pink lip pencil - so beautiful I can't stand it

Sweet Tooth is still my favorite color, it is very pretty on. I also bought Honey Bare which looks fabulous over the slimshine Missy that I B2M for today. Honey Bare is so so pretty because of the gold shimmer in it. Now I see why erine has so darn many of that color

I loved them soooo much that I bought back ups of Sweet Tooth, Honey Bare & EZ Baby....geesh, I can't believe that I bought more ugghh

Ooohh...I got to order the VAE with my backups when I got home YAY!!!

where do you see an expiration date? because to the best of my knowledge these have no expiration dates. there's no symbol giving the number of months these are good after opened.

the only excuse for something like this is when the date gets changed, cause not everyone gets the info, so people are unsure, but to be completely ignorant when the date for tendertones wasn't changed is rediculous and unexcusable.

as of monday, we hadn't received ours yet. when i went in today to get my gratis, the display wasn't out, so we obviously hadn't received it since monday. and it wasn't in our gratis, so i don't have e-z baby or sweet tooth to play with, but, my shipment of honey bare (got 6 of these and more backups of take a hint and hush, hush) and more (yes more) VAE came today. i am so glad i got honey bare! its gorgeous!!!

Audrey, I did the same thing today. I swatched it on my hand & was like uh, that's really pretty but prolly won't show up on my lips...then the MA said lets try it on your lips...& since I was THE first - the pot was clean, I tried it on

I LOVE LOVE it on my lips. I always complain how nothin shows up on my darn pigmented lips

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

See, swatching these on your hand is VERY different from the lips. I guess it's back to the mall tomorrow for me

I REFUSE to swatch tendertones from the tester

Lucky you, being the first user. All of the testers at my counter were nasty already

Girls, don't swatch on your hands!

Always test a lip product on your lips! You can swatch an e/s on your hands or maybe a blush, but not more

Edit: I bought Tendertone Sush! last year (the green one). I had NEVER bought it just after swatching on my hands. I thought: A green lip color?

But it looks gorgeous on my lips! I love how people look if I take out my green balm...

The new yellowish greenish one - Tread Gently was really really pretty & shimmery! But I didn't get it because I was limiting myself...imagine that

This is what I am afraid of...

I will take two Tendertones like last year. I want some more Dazzleglasses

and a lot from Cool Heat and Colour Forms.

for yourself, definately test them on your lips, so you know how they'll turn out. but for swatch requests, your hand's the best.

kinda. our book says to have a clean tester of every gloss, mascara and liquid liner (used for application and brush visualization). but its not feasible. there is no room on the counter for all those tester, and we would waste so much product cause not every color is requested to be tried on. sadly, you can't guarantee that all testers haven't been doubled-dipped in, and that those people don't have herpes or something.

that's why i hate the fact that our tester wands are now out from behind the counter. anyone can grab and test and double-dip. that's why when i see someone going for a gloss or tendertone, i watch em like a hawk. if i see em double-dip, i call them on it politely and immediately replace the tester.

Aw, thank you! That pic just makes me stare at my wrinkles (I'm only 24 wahhh)! But back on topic, patting the tiniest bit of concealor (or brushing over my lips when applying foundation)...THEN adding the tendertones makes them look soooo good!

Re: MAC Tendertones 2008

*~*I got my Tendertones today!!! I ended up with: Sweet Tooth (1) and Honey Bare (2 & 3/4)...So I got to the counter today planning on getting 1 Sweet Tooth & 3 Honey Bare. Well, the counter only got 3 of each color (crazy right???), and they had already sold one Honey Bare, so I was only able to get 2. But as I was walking away from the counter, I remembered that when I tested HB, it was brand new, so no one had put it on but me. So I went back & asked if I would be able to buy the tester...the MUA said no, but she said she would put some in a sample jar for me...well, she put just about the *entire* jar into one of those little sample pots (I mean she was packing it in there tight!! lol) and when she was done, there was about one swipe left in the jar!!! Soooooooo excited!!!! So I ended up getting an extra 3/4 of a jar for free!!!!!! YAY!! Lol Sorry for the long story, but I just had to share it!!!

What Tendertones did you all get so far???*~*
