The MAC Makeup Thread #2

I stopped by for Mylar (out of stock) and a new lipstick ... ended up getting the tartan set with Baron's Rose, which really looks gorgeous! I think I talked someone else into it while I was there Not quite the *free* lipstick I had in mind, ah well ... I also picked up Chanel Black Pearl.

Has anyone tried the new blush in Gana??? I want to use it as a highlighter. I recently bought Soft and Gentle but there's too much big particles of shimmer.... I was hoping Gana is more of a frost and more subtle.....

@kimkhuu: I haven't tried it myself but have checked out the swatches?

Popped into House of Fraser the other day to stock up on some staples such as Carbon & Brun shadow-pots and ended up getting 2 random purchases. Random for me as I wear lipsticks maybe once a year at that!

The colours I bought are Modesta & Morange. Both are not that easy to wear but even worse is that they both make my lips appear really cracked and in bad 'nick' (British colloquial term for 'condition'!)

What am I doing wrong? I would hate to think just thrown £27 down the drain.

^ Exfoliate your lips and let a balm or treatment soak in before using the lipstick. Applying over a lipliner can also help the lipstick stick and last longer without going flaky.

I use the Body Shop lip scuff but Lush does them or you can just use sugar and warm water.

My lips are never chapped because I'm never without lipgloss, lipstick, or lip balm ... I keep a lip balm in most rooms in my house. If you're not used to lipstick, you could try a brush ...

Stopped by the MAC store tonight & got Mylar shadow with my back2MAC, Haute & Naughty mascara, and Decorative gloss. She put the mascara on me & it looks really nice--could MAC finally have made a good mascara?!?!

They also now have one of the former Prescriptives mascaras--False Lashes I think it's called.

I finally got Studio Fix Fluid, I can't believe it. I had NC15, but now I decided to take your advice and try NW15.
I also got Lipgelee Amber Russ, it's very pretty.

And I thought that after the ugly To the beach and Venomenous Villains packaging, it couldn't get any worse...

My thoughts exactly. That is FUGLY.

 

[fashionista-ta]

Wow. It's not designed for us though ...

 

[Berryciaga]

agree with the_ida, FUGLY!! Looks more like makeup for 6 year olds.

^No idea.. I'm not familiar with MSF's. I only own Soft&gentle and I never use it because it's way too sparkly .

I got an impeccable brow pencil in the shade taupe, which is a quite dark greyish brown. Surprisingly it is just the right shade . I never expected my brows to be so dark.

Also got the eyeshadow in satin taupe.

Looks like Stereo Rose to me.

I got Very Important Platinum nail polish today ... wanted to get Soiree, but both dept stores were sold out of it. Why couldn't I have realized I needed it sooner? Side note ... when I asked for scotch tape the girl was convinced it was a color she hadn't heard of and started asking all her coworkers what it was

PS I replaced my worn-out MAC powder brush with the one I saw recommended in Allure, the Sonia Kashuk (for Target) one that has a handle that looks kinda like black bamboo. I can't believe how great it is ... the MAC brush was never that good when it was new, I'm sure. (And don't believe them at the MAC counter when they say their brushes last a lifetime!!) The first day I used it one of my coworkers complemented my matte skin and asked if I knew it got very shiny later in the day She seemed quite shocked when I said I knew & didn't care

Also, just switched to the Haute & Naughty mascara I bought last month. I really like it--finally, a decent MAC mascara!!! I've used better, but I can use these for b2m

^I just love your co-workers. They're so unbelievably rude
