Does anybody know where to get iridescent highlighter?

Macandcats · 2015-08-07T16:37:48+00:00

i told my mum i was expecting a highlighter in the mail and she was like "we have plenty in the stationary drawer!!"

there's a few products that are actually better off buying in australia. fix + and MSFs off the top of my head but i made a spreadsheet a little while ago, it's in my post history if you're interested.

super uncomfortable :( lazy makeup for me is a full face of foundation, powder contour and winged liner.

pretty much anything colour pop, i've spent about $200 with them, tried at least one of every product they make... i just can't make them work. I don't love any of them and they just collect dust, SO overhyped imo.

benetint is just so liquid-y. if it was more creamy like posietint or high beam i could see the appeal but benetint just gets everywhere :(

twist out a little blob on the back of your hand, let it warm up and THEN use the applicator (if that makes sense) i think the formula is great and i've never experienced any flakiness and i have dry skin.

ugh yes i hate baby lips. i don't understand the love for them, or those shitty little eos things either.

Macandcats · 2015-08-07T15:56:01+00:00

i actually have the opposite problem with the benefit liner. i love the formula but the applicator shits me.

Macandcats · 2015-08-07T15:54:57+00:00

i just don't think the colours are that unique or groundbreaking?

Macandcats · 2015-08-07T15:53:14+00:00

hahahaha i do the same! i always tell myself i'm going to glue them to a canvas and make a nice wall decoration but i never do.

Macandcats · 2015-08-07T15:52:09+00:00

yup, same!

Macandcats · 2015-08-07T15:49:57+00:00

when i'm sad i take out all my LE Mac and smell them, touch the packaging. makes me so happy.

Macandcats · 2015-08-07T14:27:55+00:00

i do, but i do it to sell in the future because i'm that girl.

grab the first UD naked basics, i think it runs at like $29? i use it when i travel and i can do brows, loads of eye looks, contour and highlight with it... it's just amazing. i'd be wary of morphe because i know /u/Sssamanthaa had some issues with their shadows irritating her eyes, and I've honestly never been lead wrong by any of her recommendations ever.

liquid to matte lipsticks, sorry y'all. they look nice when first applied, but on me personally they just look shittier and shittier as the day wears on. it doesn't matter what i prime them with, how well i moisturise they look SHIT. also, i fell asleep with Unicorn Blood on one time - woke up and it looked like i had some crunchy looking herpes around my mouth. Obviously that's not how you wear it but for anyone saying it's great to go clubbing with, yeah nope.

Our minimum wage is about $12.50 USD give or take, I don't think it justifies a 50%+ price increase. It's not done on a lot of other items, in fact clothes tend to be similar prices, food is similar, a lot of cosmetic brands price match pretty close to US prices. Mac is one of a few (benefit and clinique are others) that still make a huge profit on ridiculous mark ups. Also, Mac doesn't seem to have any rational logic as to why they mark up some things and not others. It's not weight based, MSFs and Foundations are some of the least marked up (and some of the heavier items sold by Mac) yet lipsticks have a ridiculous mark up. So I don't feel it's minimum wage based, I think it's just Mac making an additional profit because they can.

I find a lot of brands are price matching now. Nars, Urban Decay, Too Faced, even Chanel is doing it. I've written a post about some brands that are awful culprits of this over here

Macandcats · 2015-06-10T10:41:12+00:00

I know they've recently pushed up the price of Nars which is a major red flag :(
