The MAC Makeup Thread

[ragtag]

^ Lightscapade is my favorite MSF.... i use it every single day. it gives your skin such a nice glow - it's not glittery like some of the others. you can also use it with water or Fix+ to give your skin a wet-looking gleam. i'm sad that it was limited edition.

Just came by to say I picked up Family Silver--I like it. It's not silver, though, it's taupe. At first I thought there were more colors that weren't on the display, then I flipped them over to look at the names ... The silver/blue and taupe/plum are also really nice, and so's the red lipgloss ... I could've bought many more things if I'd been so inclined It's a really nice little line.

^Lightscapade.

Is that kind of a light peachy pallete?...
If so I think I have that.

 

[ragtag]

^ it's kind of white-ish with veining in lots of different colors - pink, blue, yellow. mine looks sort of like one of those giant jawbreakers.

If you have a Cosmetic Company Store (in outlet centers) they might have it. Older MAC products go there and are sold at a discount.

^^^^ O_O I NEVER HEARD OF THAT!!! they have that in edmonton??? they only have mac boutique in west ed/

 

[iLoveCouture]

If you have Prime Outlets in your area then you have a CCO. I love that place, they often have items that are currently in the regular Mac stores, but for a lot less!

^ agree, I went recently and found tons of MAC stuff marked down outlet prices..I got 7 items for around $60 bucks, originally would have been $85+. they had so much, I was lost haha..they even had professional cases,portfolios and MAC LE cluthes that were never online or in stores, it was soooooooo cute, had black rinestones all over it, was $70ish though.

 

[brokenenglish]

I do have the lightscapade.....
and now that I know it was limited I will be using it sparingly.

My friend just gave me the MAC kabooki brush...
haven't used it for makeup yet...
just on my face alone b/c it feels so nice!!

What are your thoughts on MAC Loose Powder?

(ebay)

 

[Jenner8675309]

^ I love it. But I've always been a fan of loose powder.

 

[Suburban Snob]

A lot of people like MAC Loose powder. I can't use MAC foundations or powders because I find they break out my skin, but if they don't break out your skin they are really nice because they have a large range of color selection.

 

[jjbunny79]

omg i wanna get the new studio light thing
its sounds like exactly what do i need >.<

 

[Suburban Snob]

If you guys really love MAC, take a look at the website www.specktra.net ---it's amazingly up to date with everything MAC.

What are your thoughts on MAC Loose Powder?

(ebay)

My thoughts are that it's messy & I prefer the pressed But I like MAC powder in general.

Yesterday I bought a plum lipliner (I forget the color name but I love it) and the other silver Antiquitease eyeshadow combo. Also recently bought PlushLash, and while it's not nearly as good as DiorShow, is way better than any of the other MAC mascaras & I don't regret buying it. It's unfortunate that I've tried DiorShow

 

[Suburban Snob]

Hmm. I've never tried PlushLash because all the MAC mascaras I've tried in the past have really sucked something wicked. I usually use Stila. I also like La Prairie but it flakes on me.

 

[Jenner8675309]

I wear 90% MAC but not a fan of the mascara either. And I agree fashionista-ta, everything pales compared to DiorShow

 

[ragtag]

^ i completely agree... the rest of my face is almost all MAC but i always feel let down by the mascara. i haven't tried Diorshow! i don't want to fall in love and not be able to afford to replace my mascara every couple of months.

 

[Jenner8675309]

^ I know what you mean. I'll shell out for MAC, it always lasts forever and does so well on me, but mascara is something you go thru so quickly. Everything else lasts, I've only used up one eyeshadow (Patina best brown shade ever) and had to re-buy it. Everything else I'm still working on using up LOL. And pigments are a real bang for your buck, I dont know how I'll ever use them up! Those things are a-maz-ing.
