office hours

[LoR]

I am so dissappointed with the two eyeshadows I bought this weekend. I got Fashion Fix and Linger softly.

Even with primer these had to be applied so many times to be visible and I am milky white.Once blended out they'd almost disappear.

I'm sad that the e/s released with OH aren't up to par with those from Styledriven - I've been wearing Pink Frontier and Sweet Satisfaction a lot lately and they last a good 15+ hours over a paintpot on me!

I used Too Faced Primer Potion and FF was easily visible on me. After it set it wouldn't blend at all and when it wasn't set it was easy to over blend so I learned to just blend the edge. They aren't the greatest but I sort of made FF work. I do like it a lot for my brows and with a 263 applied great.

Swatches from my blog I got today of all the blushes at my counter. NW 20 for reference. I have to say I was a little disappointed with these and skipped this.




Stay By Me, Stubborn, Blush All Day, Stay Pretty, Baby Dont Go and Rosey Outlook

Stay Pretty keeps calling my name.... Does anyone think Lovecloud has better texture than SP?

Lovecloud is one of MAC's best blushes ever. Each time I use it I am newly impressed.

Stubborn swatches are growing on me...

Stubborn looks great! I might buy that one.. the same for Whole Lotta Love. All the other things just look blaah to me. But I'm not gonna buy them anytime soon.. with Marilyn and Glamour Daze coming up I need all the money I have lol.

we can see how badly those collections decimate our bank accounts before having to make decisions on these perm items, right?

Yeah.. the money goes straight to the LE's. The last time I bought a permanent item was months ago, almost a half year.

Heaps better, I even mentioned that in my blog post on these that I think that Tres Cheek was a better collection even as far as pigmentation

I too am guilty of doing this .. Shame really, IMO there are definitely alot of wonderful products in MAC's permanent line that often get neglected cause of the LE hysteria.

I'm the same - there are certain permanent products that I buy again and again (foundation, MSFN, Viva Glam V), but all of my blushes and nearly all of my e/s are LE!

 

[MRV]

^ Same here! I actually know hardly anything about most of the perm stuff!

So true. There are a lot of perm items that have been on my list for years.

I have way more perm items than LE ones; I only started buying from collections this year. I actually prefer getting perm items; I don't have a lot of patience for the buying frenzy that comes from MAC releases. I want to be able to try items and that's not often possible.

So true. There are a lot of perm items that have been on my list for years.

That's why I got myself some pro blushes and shadows in the summer I have 5 permanent (non pro) blushes, but I find the LE ones more exciting overall. When I started buying Mac I was all about the shadows, so I do have a lot of perm shadows. I don't have a lot of the perm lipstuff. I try to save my empties for when I go to germany and then I'll get the permanent lipsticks with B2M.

I really wish that we could B2M in Holland someday.
