oh people i bought the mineralize eyeshahow in egaging!!!!! its really pretty!

 

[ragtag]

^ooh, that is a really pretty combo! i've never used the Mineralize Eyeshadow... does it apply nicely? is there a lot of glitter? sorry for all the questions - i just really love the Mineralize Skinfinishes (and sometimes use them as shadow) so i'm guessing i would love these.

 

[jjbunny79]

ummm, it wasnt too glittery, it is more shimmer/lusture prone. the colour is beatiful, but the eyeshadow they give me its unbalanced (the light part is more then the darker part)!!! like the lady give me a try, and she used a brush, so it does goes on evenly

 

[ragtag]

ah, thanks for the answers! i'll definitely have to get some of those. shimmer/lustre sounds perfect. the one that's purple+red is tempting me, although i know the others would be much more practical!

I just bought Sweet Sienna pigment and Family Silver today. I am saving my major haul for the 25th went the Holiday items come out!

I wanted to chime in about those mineralize e/s. They are amazing yea? I just have the silversmith one (blue/silver). But I really also like the sweet sienna (although I already have a lot of e/s in that neutral, shimmer brown color family so I'm trying not to buy it) and the red/purple. I don't know if it's been mentioned, but you can use them wet or dry. Wet is more like liquid metalli look and dry is more like the dense but softer shimmer. So that mean you get six colors for each pot you buy! The left color, right colo, mixed, and the same three wet. I tried it and you can tell the the difference in the 6 colors but of course they all go together. Also I like how the pigment is denser than normal MAC e/s. I think I may have to buy more colors since it's a LE. The red/purple mixed looks like a beautiful shimmery iery fuschia!

And that lipstick, I forgot before but it's called herfancy. love! There are so many good colors right now.

I'm a bit confused, so the holiday collection is already out?

 

[jjbunny79]

^ anitiquitease (spell?) comes out individual (like blue storm and smoke signal) already, as a part of holiday collection (the real holiday set doesnt come out yet).

 

[peacelover142002]

I'm not really interested in most of the holiday sets. Probably the only things I'll get will be the pigment sets.


I ended up getting 3 of the MES and Sweet Sienna pigment from Antiquitease.

I managed to get the last bottle of Whirlwind nail polish (Blue Storm), truly amazing color <3

 

[iLoveCouture]

The Holiday Collection is for sale on the website now. I think I am going to get a couple of the lip palettes and maybe the eye brush set.

 

[e-v-elina]

they only ship to the us and canada, right?

it's times like these when i wish i didn't live in sweden.

 

[Jenner8675309]

See if online places like Nordstrom.com or Strawberry.net will ship to you, they sell MAC.

Or you could always try eBay, just be careful there since you're dealing with cosmetics

I bought 3 of the eye shadow holiday kits (warm, metallic, cool eyes) and 1 lip (pink lips) kit. Im waitng for the glitter pencils to come out and thats all im getting from them for awhile.


how do you use the paint pots? I got one yesterday, but am unsure of its uses..someone help?

 

[peacelover142002]

^The Paint Pots are basically creme eyeshadows. They make a great base for powder eyeshadow. They're supposed to be easier to blend than the regular paints. I have Rubenesque, and Pharoah and Otherworldly from McQueen, but I'm hoping to get more.

yesterday i picked up some more concealer, black Plushlash (not sure what my verdict is yet on this item), and the Mi'Lady Mineralize shadow (the true red and purple) from the Antiquitease collection. the shadow is beautiful, not super practical, but so unique that i just couldn't resist!

 

[peacelover142002]

I just paid $40 for a discontinued MSF. Somebody stop me before I go broke!

 

[ragtag]

^ oooh, which one?
