Re: Re: MAC is the best ever
 

GURL, I'm a MAC groupie! That's how bad it is for me. I have traded in my old tubes for a new color. It would be stupid for me not too. As a matter of fact, it's about time for me to get my FREE tube of lipstick!

One thing I refuse to buy from MAC is there brushes. They're expensive as CHUCK (who's that:confused: )!! I've gone to Walgreens and Sally's and bought some really nice brushes.

NYC is a cheap make up line that looks good on people.

Truly,

MAC Groupie

Thanks for the blush tip Tigress! I never wear blush because i always felt like it didn't look "natural" on my skin.

So LIPGLASS really is a "word" LOL
I was really starting to believe that was a serious typo problem LOL LET ME SHUT-UP Cause I'm the one asking for the tips. LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Re: Relic/Modem
 

Yep! Lip glass is a word. I know you've seen the stars where this really sheer color on their lips. That's lip glass! It looks great on! You should try it.

Re: Re: Re: Relic/Modem
 

Oh Cool, I've been trying to get that look, without all that gloss, without looking like I've ate a bucket of chicken from KFC. LOL
Ya'll definitley sold me on that.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Relic/Modem
 

:D :D :D :D The key is getting the perfect kind without all of the GLOSS! Good luck on your search!

Re: Re: MAC is the best ever
 

I bought "O" about three years ago but I didn't really like the way it looked on me. What do you use with it. Maybe thats the reason why its not working for me. I refuse to throw it away or give it away so I'm up for suggestions.

MAC is all a girl needs!!!
 

I must agree with everyone here that loves MAC. I use their:

Studio Fix Compact foundation,
Chestnut Lipliner (a must have),
Fluid and 'O' lipsticks
Brow Set (does anyone else use this?? It keeps your brows in check all day and night)

As for eyeshadow and more lipsticks, I bought the holiday kits that were available in Nov '00, and they come with an array of colors, but I don't know all the names :( however, I figued out you can use any lipsticks as long as you have CHESTNUT lipliner!!

When I was younger and had more money to spend, I bought Clinique mascara, but Maybeline Great Lash works just as well, and it's cheaper.

When I first learned about MAC, I thought the colors wouldn't work..they seemed very flashy and daring, but they are just wonderful. I really like the eyeshadows, because they don't cake-up, and its more "iridescent" than true color, if that makes any sense :)

I reccomend going to the counter and tell them that you're new to MAC, and what they recommend. Surprisingly, I've always had a great experience with them, in Minneapolis and Chicago..hopefully they are as helpful in other cities as well.

Hope this info helps
 

Candygirl:

I felt the same way when I bought O. My MAC consultant applied it for me when I bought it, so of course it was perfect, but when I brought it home, it didn't look the same. So, when I wear it now, I either apply it with a lip brush, or blot. I think when I first tried it, I applied to much, and it didn't look right, because it's an orangy-red-pinkish color....oh, also using chestnut makes it look great.

Oh, I also want to remind everyone to save their lipstick tubes...5 empty tubes=1 free lipstick.

Hi delph998, I just PM'd you..I'm in Mpls too :)

Re: MAC is all a girl needs!!!
 

AINT THAT THE TRUTH!!!!

Re: Re: MAC is the best ever
 

Yes it is!

The exchange is 6 empty containers= 1 lipstick. I recently traded in my containers and got a tube of Carnal. It's a very pretty color and w/ the Lipglass it's even prettier.

I don't wear foundation, but I do wear their presssed powder and I LOVE OH Baby. I never leave home w/o it. :)

I hear everyone talking about MAC. Where do you get it? I used to love Bovanti, but they closed the stands here. :(

you can get it at nordstroms and macy's. if your city has a galleria, chances are they will have a m.a.c. store

I used to be a MAC addict, but the customer service in my area was getting worse, so I went to Sephora and tried their brand it's really good and it's cheaper too. But I remain ever faithful to Chanel glossimers for my lips.
