MAC x Proenza Schouler (April 24, 2014)

They really are the dumbest compacts to open imo...especially if you have nails

I just used the orange blush up the cheekbone & then added just a bit of the pink blush on the apples & slightly back. It makes a really pretty almost rosey tangerine shade. Pinkfringe on the lips

I don't know what it is about Pinkfringe, but I absolutely love it on. I like using it a bit sheerer.

Nordstrom rocks!! So glad you were able to get OC!

Well I'm off to enter the madness and get some pink fringe...or was that fridge. LOL! Wish me luck!

it will always be pink fridge ...in my mind. Can't wait to hear from you!!!!

I brought both of my Nars blushes in Torrid and Desire to compare the difference; Torrid is more corally,warmer and shimmery while Ocean City is more a cool undertone, orangey and vivid minus shimmer. Desire is more of a darker magenta pink while Sunset Beach is more of a vivid cool pink with a hint of magenta. I hope this helps!

PS,

I also bought Woodrose and Pinkfringe lipsticks. They are gorgeous! I also got 3 out of 4 nail lacquers: Thimbleweed, Dayflower and Bougavilla. They exceeded my expectations!!!

Ooh, everything is going to look beautiful on you - I'm sure of it.

You always put together the best combinations ever! I would've never thought of using SB and OC together but it sounds like a brilliant idea!

Let's not forget about Rush. Nuff said. Brett Hart and Edge are pretty awesome too.

Nordies is spectacular. Great CS, ships reasonably fast, and they haven't screwed anything up of mine. I should order from them over Macy's or even MAC now that I think about it...

Don't blush, AutumnMoon, be proud!!! I love the artwork you posted. I wish I had a smidge of your talent! Make up is about the only artistic thing I ever do.

Thank you to everyone who looked at my art! It warms my heart to hear all these positive things. Let's hope the gallery owner loves them, too. If I do end up selling there, I'll let everyone know. The best compliment I ever got for my art was a little girl that I did a custom piece for her (her mother set it up). She said it was what her story books looked like in her head when she was reading them. I cried it was so honest and sweet.

Back to blushes, I have an Ocean City reserved for me that I have to duck out of work for a minute to grab. Wish me luck! And I agree with everyone here; MAC should let us all keep the wrong blushes.

Did you email them first at all or is this just a general email that they will be sending to everyone who received the wrong blush in error?

Aww, that is so sweet of you to say - made my day

I don't have NS lipstick or I would do swatches for you. Pinkfringe is so pretty. Its a warmer pink but not too warm. It has a vintage rose pink feel to it. I don't think its like any other pink ls I own.

[@]AutumnMoon[/@] Wow you are a true artist! Your unicorns are so beautiful and magical! You should be proud of your gift!

 

[AutumnMoon]

@autumnmoon Your drawings are amazing! I wish I had a talent like that.

You're too sweet!

That's great to hear!

@AutumnMoon your work is beautiful! I love art and wish I was artistic, too bad my artistic ability is limited to stick figures lol

Re: Proenzagate ( as someone so eloquently named it) I just went and ordered OC (along with Mangrove now also, damn it Specktra beauties!) from Macys since I had a gift card and its 6% Ebates as well. Still holding on to the incorrectly sent SB blush that I got and I will wait and see what Mac proposes to do. Either way I'll be asking for my refund and they can have the blush back if they'd like as long as they send me a free return shipping label. Smh I can't believe this release got so messed up

I'm not gonna lie, still gonna check out that AA collection too

I tried to work with an author once and it was a disaster. But I would love to have a children's book for these guys (yes, I think of them as things that live). For now, I'm just happy when they find a new home with someone.

And everyone has to start somewhere. My art was just stick figures once.

 

[honey on boost]

UGH! that's why I called first I just had a bad feeling. I was able to get what I wanted from the same Nordstrom as you. I think they are sold out now.

 

[AutumnMoon]

Girded my loins....LMAO

 

[AutumnMoon]

@AutumnMoon Wow you are a true artist! Your unicorns are so beautiful and magical! You should be proud of your gift!

Thank you, darling!

Everyone who has liked or commented on my art has really made me smile. I had a migraine on Monday, and the last two weeks at work have been HELL. Thanks, ladies, for making today awesome! Now I need my Sunset Beach blush

 

[modelette]

That's a blatant lie, I went to my counter and picked up ocean city this morning. It is out today. @LoveLo
