Tracey, I love the Blue Brown pigment. I have a jar of it. I've only tested it out though.


MAC Pro does have the jars, but I don't know what they cost:

Also, they have little stackable sample jars that are $1.50 each (lid plus jar).
I almost got a few of them, but it's cheaper to get non-brand ones on eBay.

I have tons of sample jars that I bought on e-bay...but I really need a full pigment jar because I am going to surprise my friend and send her half of the blue brown pigment.

Thanks for the link! I would have been searching around all day for that

Tracey, are you a Specktra member? In the Clearance Bin forum, there are lots of sale listings and there are a few people who have empty jars for sale. They have residue from the previous pigment in them, but could be easily wiped out.

Hi there TD! I am a member...but just a lurker there - I do not think I have access to that type of thing. Thank so much for thinking of it though

You're welcome, Tracey.
Will you let us know how much those jars are?

Today I purchased 5 MAC Paints in Artjam, Magrittes, Chiaroscuro, Bamboom and Bare Canvas.

I've never tried these before until now but they were pretty friggin' cool at the store so I am hopeful that I will them as much as I think I will .

I was contemplating substituting one of the colors with Sublime Nature, Chiaroscuro, or Stilife but eventually got the 5 I listed above .

Bought a Shiseido powder foundation today

nice purchase! Jade, have you used it yet? Do you love it?

I am curious about the Shiseido powder foundation too.
I used to use the Shiseido cream foundation but then switched over to a powder one from a different brand.

Tracey - I used it this morning and so far I like it. Before I bought this I had MAC Studio Fix. I find the Shiseido one a lot softer, more finely milled and it gives more of a sheer coverage when used dry with a brush. But it's ok for now since my skin is somewhat clear

Fryl - I used to use the Cream Foundation too when my skin needed more coverage. You're talking about the little jar with the stick right? If so, it has been discontinued and replaced with the new Dual Balancing foundation. I might try that in the winter

Jade, I used to use this one:

I can be used wet or dry, but I wanted something more matte so I switched over to Chanel Double Perfection Powder Make Up.
I still use that to this day.

I got MAC eye shadows in Sable, Idol Eyes, Tempting and Bronze today.
I'll post a picture of them later.
I think I am hooked on MAC eye shadows now, and I haven't even opened any of the other ones I bought yet.

I did a few minutes of retail therapy today at MAC.

I bought:
Angel l/s
New York Apple l/s
Shale e/s

I haven't made any posts in this thread since early May. So I guess it's time for me to list all the makeup purchases I've made in the last 2 months.

May:
MAC Flowerplay lipstick (backup)
MAC Sweetie lipstick

Jun.:
MAC Aquavert e/s
MAC Mancatcher e/s
2 MAC Pink Maribu lipsticks
MAC Pink Venus e/s
2 MAC Pomposity lipsticks
2 MAC Profusion lipsticks
MAC Sweetie lipstick (backup)
2 MAC Vivacious lipsticks
2 MAC makeup sponges
VS Very Sexy Silky Eyeshadow: Romance Me
VS Very Sexy eye makeup brush
VS Very Sexy makeup remover

I think I've become a makeup girl now.

I went to MAC yesterday, and bought a pigment in gold mode (never used their pigments so hopefully I will like it)
Bought a new lipstick as well, High Strung.

Yay for your Gold Mode pigment purchase, Gizmo!!
It's a gorgeous colour, great choice!!

I went to the Clinique counter yesterday & bought a Different Lipstick in Raspberry Glace. It's classified in the violet color family, so I'm experimenting w/ a different color family than I'm used to. In reality, it's a dark pink (almost red) shade. It's different than what I normally gravitate towards, but it looks good on me. I have a feeling I'm going to have to get used to it though. And this wasn't a color I picked out on the Clinique website. I was interested in Pink Spice & Rose Spectrum, but those didn't work for me. So I told the SA that I had Extreme Pink on & so she picked out Raspberry Glace for me to try.

Fryl you are so right!! I used this today and it. Now I want different colors.

Gizmo, those pigments are addictive, right Fryl? TDJ and Tracey turned me on and I just went crazy. I use them almost every day, even when I'm going nowhere! I haven't bought any more recently but I'm having a ball with the ones I've acquired.

I placed a MAC order just now. I only got the Silver Fog pigment and an eye shadow in Thunder. I will be going to a MAC counter soon, and I want to see everything in person first before I get anything else.
