It looks like Ahoy,There! in the photo

 

[The_Ida]

Thanks! Any other suggestions?

Maybe Hue?

I love you guys It's good to know there's plenty of MAC freaks out here to help a poor girl out

I just bought the "Rave" glitter eye pencil (i just love the purple) ... now im just waiting for the mineral stuff coming out so i can get the Illuminating/Buring Ambition eye shadow to pair it up
btw how come they dont have the nice MSF like procelain pink and/or lightscapade? they will make my dead-pale skin look soooo nice

 

[Trista]

See I am thrilled that they brought back So Ceylon and Petticoat, because that covers more bases. Lightscapade is one I would love to have, but at the same time it isn't one that most people would buy, because of the blues, greens, and yellows. I would LOVE it if Northern Light was a perm one, since I cannot live without it. I wear it every single day.

Oh and brace your wallets, ladies...MSF's are now $28. Also, there will be MSF's in the Hair collection. There's Blonde/Brunette/Redhead, and there's a couple lipsticks, couple eyeshadows, couple lipglasses, and then the MSF. Oh, and repromoing Brow Set.

As far as Dame Edna goes, there will be lipsticks, lipglass, highlight powder, and then eye trios, among other things. One of them is Royal Tour, and it is repromoing Climate Blue, so if you missed out on that one in Cool Heat, you can get it. The other has a Lustrevision repromo. The colours, from what I hear, are awesome. One of the lipglasses sounds like a coral version of Silly Girl.

Then there's the Luxe collection, which has gold packaging. Nothing really appealing, although the brushes will be the 129 and the 224.

^ Yea, not a lot of people know how blue/green/yellow shade are actually look flattering on the face.
Trista I heard that Brunette/Redhead/Blonde thing too, but I don't think the brunette MSF would look good on me. But the brunette lipstick sounds nice. Red Plum sounds tempting.

 

[Trista]

Well a lot of people only want reds, pinks, corals, and bronzes. If you take a look at many other brands that do baked mineral product, you'll see that they have a highlighter, and many of them do have the blues, greens, and yellows. I would be SO happy if it appeared at the CCO that I frequent.

Also to those of you who are Manish fanatics, I have heard that it will not be on the site until about 6 AM Pacific tomorrow.

 

[Trista]

Just letting everyone now that Manish Arora is now up on the MAC site...act fast though!

 

[lucy92]

i bought the ungaro lipstick in pure rose today. i like it. its a vast improvement over the last mac product i bought ( a pro longwear lipcolor) that left with me with dry gross patches on my mouth.

 

[Trista]

I don't do longwears, only because I do tend to have drier lips. I am hoping that my package from MAC arrives by this time next week...I bought everything from Manish, and then Bright Sunshine eyeshadow.

The only Manish item left on the US site, as of now, is the eye palette. It's good if you have been wanting Going Bananas, or if you have none of those colours, or if you just want something cool you can whip out.

 

[Suburban Snob]

I heard MA sold out so quickly! Wow. I didn't get anything b/c I am FINALLY moving away from collecting, but the eye palette looks pretty. I expect a full report on the goodies you got, Trista!

 

[Trista]

You all are definitely getting a report when I get it. It's scheduled to arrive next Wednesday (I was too cheap to pay for shipping). Also I got Bright Sunshine, which my friend says is amazing.

 

[jjbunny79]

hey my fellow tfs-ers:
1) is the see thru lip colour from Ungaro collection (and/or the pure rose lipstick) a good buy?
2) which MAC concealer is good for pale skin in terms of the tone or texture?

 

[Mindbear]

I am very pale, and I use two of their concealers. Select cover up in NW15, and Studio Fix in NC15. The select cover is great for areas that foundation won't cover alone, as you can cover quite a big area and it's invisible once your foundation is over it. Studio fix is great over foundation as it blots out any color under it, it really is one of the best concealers i've used.

 

[Dulcisima]

I so wanted the Manish Arora =( is it only limited edition to the MAC US web? or will the stores be carrying it too=( i am so bumped i liked the packaging and the colours seems nice.

 

[Trista]

It was only PRO stores and the MAC website. Keep an eye on eBay over the next few days, as there will inevitably be people selling it. It was international only for the most part though The one consolation is that four of the six eye shades are permanent, and the two that aren't...one of them could maybe be duped with Bright Sunshine, and the other one could be duped with Sushi Flower or Sunset B., at least I think so.

 

[dumbfairy]

I've never bought anything from Mac I don't think

But over the next week I'm going to go and have a good look,I would like a new blusher so I guess that's what I'll be looking for,any advice as to which shade suits all?

 

[Trista]

You totally ought to go with Azalea

Just kidding, besides that is a pro-only shade. It honestly depends on what kind of colour you are looking for, however I have heard that the CCB in the Ungaro collection (Crushed Bouganvillea) is amazing as a blush. Britwit is also another nice one, and then if they still have it when you go, get Nuance mineralized blush.
