The MAC Makeup Thread #2

[FleurDeLys]

I hope you don't mind me asking.. Where in Belgium did you go to a MAC store? My parents live there, but I don't know if more stores have been opened since.. The only one I know of is in Brussels, and if my memory serves me right, it's quite small!

Of course I don't. I went to Ghent, and it's a small store but I don't know how big Mac stores usually are, since this is the only one I have ever visited. I know there's one in Antwerp as well. Can't wait to visit that one when I find the time.
I think MAC is quite unknown here, the first time I heard from this brand was when I started watching tutorials... There's only one friend of mine who has already heard of MAC before, but that's it.
We're so behind here.

^ But you have Dries, and Adin, and lots of other cool stuff

there are images of the venomous villains collection leaked.

the packaging is HORRID. plain black glossy with a cheap image of the character on the front. i wish they would have gone with the sketches as shown in the video and chrome packaging, or something really sleek.

another disappointment from MAC.

i saw that...the red lipstick looks cool, but the rest of it looks babyish.

Skipping that...could have been fierce, clearly isn't.

Oh so MAC is slowly growing in Belgium.. Better (very) late than never Thank you and FleurDeLys too!

Is there a link to the pictures of the venomous villains collection?

I can't wait for In the Groove to drop in the states because I need this lipstick right now (or at least I need to test it right now to make sure it'll be flattering on me, but same difference)!

I bought Mac club eyeshadow yesterday. I haven't found the time yet to play around with it but it's a very nice shade. I want to try it with a dark cream base (which I don't have) but I'm completely broke.

I went crazy today and bought a load of the digipops and dazzleglass glosses and one of the new mineralize blushes...which is actually a bit too strong. My favorite purchase was the Morange lipstick, it's ridiculous, but suits my insanely orange hair.

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ I've just hit pan on two of my blushes (Coygirl and Cubic) ... it takes awhile but it does eventually happen ... maybe I'll replace with one of the Mineralize. Which color is too strong for you?

 

[Mindbear]

It's band of roses that I got, I couldn't test it because they glue the ltd edition stuff so you can't open it. It really is TOO much, and I love a good color payoff, but it's like i've painted my face!

You can see some pics and descriptions from the Venomous Villains collection here:

I'm only interested in this eyeshadow:

EVIL QUEEN: Vainglorious Bronze burgundy (Frost) (Limited Edition)

and this blush:

EVIL QUEEN: Bite of an Apple Soft coral pink (Matte) (Limited Edition)


And maybe this nail polish:
MALEFICENT: Formidable! Teal green with pink pigment (Limited Edition)

but only because I'm really curious what colour it exactly is; I really cannot picture teal green with pink pigment .

The packaging looks tacky, but still better that ugly green and orange from the to the beach collection.

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ The nail polishes look good ... want to see the purple!

 

[melfreya]

I love the packaging!! I want all the Maleficent products!

 

[Mindbear]

I absolutely bloody love it! I love those sickly pallid looks...although at 31 there's only so long before I start looking like a lunatic with it on!

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ Maybe the uneducated will simply think you're truly ill

I wear lavender lipgloss and purple lipstick & nail polish ... on my toes, only because I'm too lazy to paint my nails all the time as required with very dark colors

Oh, I do wear lavender nail polish on my fingernails!

 

[lucy92]

is anyone else excited for the dazzle lipsticks that have glitter in them? the ruby colored one really appeals to me so far. they wont be available until august 5th.

its been a while since ive been excited for a LE mac launch. at least a year.
