What to get with a gift card??

[lyttleravyn]

I just got a $100 gift card to Macy’s for my birthday, and I’ll most likely spend it at my local MAC counter! The only thing is that I’d love some recommendations as to what you guys think I’m “missing” from my collection. I’m all set on face products, eye/lip liners, lipglosses and skincare, I was thinking either eyeshadows, blushes or lipsticks (or a combination! haha).

I’m a NC15/20 brunette with hazel eyes. Thanks in advance!!!

I was thinking maybe...

Eyeshadows: Cork, Winkle, Banshee, Tete-a-Tint, Wedge, Love Lace, Suave Intentions (I thought I maybe needed more Mattes especially in the browns; my favorite textures are the Starflash and the Veluxe Pearl)

Lipsticks: Patisserie, Ravishing, Sweetie, Polished Up, Costa Chic, See Sheer, Spice It Up, Speak Louder (are any of these going to be too close to what I have already? I was maybe going to get something more pink and something else coral, but I don’t want it to look clownish with my coloring; my favorite finishes are Lustre and Cremesheen)

Blushes: Fleur Power, Pinch O’ Peach, Lilicent, So Sweet So Easy, Dainty (I was looking for a peachy-color, I have NARS Orgasm but I would like something not so shimmery)

I'm a NW15/20 with hazel eyes... and I really like Dainty, my MA suggested it to me, it's nice on it's on and over other blushes. I think Blush Baby is also another blush you should look into.

Angel lipstick is one of my favorites (it's a frost finish but it doesn't look frosty). Viva Glam V is really really pretty and it's a lustre finish and one of my favorites as well. I also like Sandy B, and you also might like Shy Girl.

Eyeshadow... I didn't see Twinks or Sable on your list, and they are some of my favorites. They would go well with some of the others on your list. Star Violet is nice too, but pretty similar to Cranberry (more of a Woodwinked undertone). Also, Blanc Type is a must have too.

What about PaintPots??? Do you have any of those??

Have fun!

I couldn't wait and went and got a bunch of goodies today at my local counter! I got:

Peaches blush
Macroviolet fluidline
Modelette e/s
Mulled Cider e/s
Lovelorn l/s
Hot Gossip l/s
Hot Tahiti l/s
Spice It Up! l/s

I am going to a freelance store next week with a friend, so I was thinking about getting:

Myself l/s
Pearl CCB

Do the freestanding stores have any pigments in the old jars, or is it all the new jars?

If by freestanding you mean CCO, it depends on the CCO. I know mine has some right now and that'll be your best chance of getting them.

I was going to check a CCO near me, but I meant the MAC stores not the counters.

I think you should definitely get Satellite Dreams. I find that e/s works great on any skin tone

and also, get some pigments!
