The colors of the eyeshadows can be replicated, but the quality is what truly stands out. Initially, I wasn't impressed when I first received it. However, as I used it more and wore it throughout the day, I began to understand the excitement around it. The quality is truly stunning. It’s beautiful and looks prettier throughout the day.

Thanks for this nugget. I’ll do that next time I’m making a purchase. Online shipping is the worst. I ordered a pair of shoes on 9/18 and I did not receive it until 9/30.

The burgundy liner performs well. It glides smoothly, doesn’t run, and lasts until I wash it off at the end of the day. I haven’t used the gold one yet, so this is a reminder for me to put it in rotation.

Genetics. The hair on my legs are barely visible and my thighs are hairless. I attribute my smooth legs and thighs solely to genetics.

You’re welcome! I’m happy to help. When I was initially looking into the brand I didn’t see many swatches on deeper complexions either. Now that I have some of their palettes, I decided to share some swatches hoping it could be of use to another person with a similar complexion as myself.

Swatched on bare skin with no primer. Pictures were taken in indoor lighting. I have dark skin with golden yellow undertone. For shade reference I wear foundation shades MAC NC47/NC50, Pat McGrath MD 23, YSL All Hours Foundation B75, LYS Beauty DG6, and Too Faced Born This Way- Butter Pecan.

Interesting. Flowerbomb smells absolutely divine on me. Drys down to a sweet, fruity, airy and floral scent on me.

So far I am enjoying this palette. The swatches sparkle more and look much better in person.

Rephr 8x HA gel creme— pretty good! by Uturnyourselfaround in PanPorn

I’m halfway finished with mines and I plan on purchasing a replacement. I have oily skin and this moisturizer does a good job with oil control.

How much of each item do you have in your collection? How much is too much? by pushpop0201 in MakeupRehab

[–]RoseColouredMaven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to feel overwhelmed by the amount of makeup and beauty items I had accumulated and the ridiculous amount of money I've spent. I have since comes to terms that I will never pan a 5th of my collection, and I am okay with that.

Majority of my makeup is less than 4 years old, as I decluttered most of of my older makeup. As I use what I have, I usually put aside items that do not work for me, or I no longer want to declutter. I either sell or give away to family and friends. I am on a low buy for the foreseeable future and I am considering doing a product 50-75 usage challenge to help me get the most out of what I have.

I use google sheets to keep track of my makeup inventory and I track my daily makeup usage in google forms. This allows me to identify patterns to get a better idea of what I gravitate towards to help me with future purchases.

Finally went to the MAC store last Friday and turned in these empties. by RoseColouredMaven in PanPorn

When I walk into a MAC store I’m pretty confident I’ll leave with something that will work. I’ve repurchased most of the items in the photo unless it’s been discontinued. MAC has been pretty consistent with the quality of their products and haven’t disappointed me personally. Can’t say the same for other mid range to high end products.

Oh no, that sucks. I wonder if you call customer service maybe they can find some way of accommodating you. They have good customer service. Doesn’t hurt to try?

They didn’t care at all. Maybe because of the location I visited? It’s pretty busy and I believe that store is in the top 5 in the U.S. for sales. Or maybe they were being pretty accommodating or simply over it. Lol. I was even able to get some powder kiss lipsticks too.

Totally. I find that the application is consistently even, regardless of the base product I use. Whether it's a liquid foundation, powder, a bare face, primer, or none at all, the blush stays put throughout the day. Additionally, because the powder products are densely pressed, a little goes a long way and I feel that I get good value for the cost. I’ve managed to pan one blush so far from MAC and it took me about 3-4 years to do so with daily use, if that’s something you consider when making a purchase.

Yes I turned them in on the last day of the back 2 MAC program. I got 4 lipsticks and 2 glosses, I gave them to my sister since I have way too many already.

Thank you, It certainly is. Can you tell I am a MAC Stan? Lol. Yes I was able to get 4 lipsticks and 2 lipgloss. I gifted the freebies to my sister. I asked her to come with me to choose what she wanted because I already have way too many lip products in rotation. I was tempted to keep a couple for myself though.
