MAC Cosmetics Collection as of September 2007
Posted On: 09/4/07
Posted in: Temptalia's Collection
This is my collection as it stands September 1st, 2007. Obviously with SO many huge collections coming out, it’s likely to grow quite a bit in the next few months, lol!
Just as an “FYI” type introduction to my collection, please realize that I have been a huge MAC Cosmetics fan since late 2004, so it isn’t as if I acquired everything in a matter of a few days. I’ve also purged my collection from time to time, which is why there is an awful lot of limited edition/discontinued products versus products from the permanent line. I’m so busy learning and using newer products that I simply end up without much time for most of the permanent products!

You’re collection is so gorgeous!! :) I love all the colors, haha. I hope I can grow my collection to the size of yours one day…it stinks being a newbie, hehe. :P
Friday, September 7, 2007
Thanks, Noel! :) Your wallet might start hating you, though!
Sunday, September 2, 2007
Wow that is alot of colors, you have a great collection.
Friday, September 7, 2007
Thanks, Tiffany! It can be a bit overwhelming, but fun always.
Sunday, September 2, 2007
Hello, I’m Argentine, you can tell me where i can buy your products, please? I really want to know. I live in a small city north of Buenos Aires, and i’m looking for you!!Thanks
Friday, September 7, 2007
Hi hun! I’m not sure where you can find MAC Cosmetics products, but the best thing is to go to their site, http://www.maccosmetics.com and look for a retailer near you.
Sunday, September 2, 2007
Hey! I luv ur collection! So pretty.
I have a quick question for you, it’s not about makeup though. What is the type of text/font style you used in your last pic to label your paints?? I work w/ photoshop a lot and would love to use a text like that! Thx for ur help. :-)
Friday, September 7, 2007
Hey Jenny! I use the font 04b_03b for that.
Sunday, September 2, 2007
Wow I really love your pigment, lipglass and lipstick collection. I’m happy to say that my lipstick collection is growing as well thanks to the empty pots of e/s I’ve accumulated this past 2 years. I recently got 4 free lipsticks yay!!–first time I’ve gotten stuff for free in exchange for something I’d normally throw away. Hope my pigment collection can catch up with my lipsticks lol!
By the way, do you really get to use all of your pigments? Or do you have some colors that you totally don’t have any use for?
Friday, September 7, 2007
Thanks, Janis! My lipstick collection started off slow in the beginning (and it used to be larger, but I managed to get it down a bit). Yay! B2M is great :D
I’ve used all at some point, but there are definitely ones that I rarely reach for.
Tuesday, September 4, 2007
There’s not much I can say about these pictures except WOW! I’m jealous of your Paint Pots!
Friday, September 7, 2007
I want to see your collection ;P They do look pretty standing together, don’t they? LOL.
Wednesday, September 19, 2007
me = jealous!! awesome collection!! =]
Thursday, September 20, 2007
lol! :D
Friday, September 21, 2007
THIS is absolutely ridiculous. What a terrible waste of money…you should feel guilty don’t you know that there are starving children in this world. Grow up and spend money on worthwhile things.
Wednesday, October 31, 2007
WOW. excuse me Mother Theresa! Christina, you need to relax a little. If you’re such a humanitarian, why dont you go to Africa and save the many people dying.
and if you do so, we’ll all follow along.
in the mean time, please go visit the united nations website or the ShareLife website while we feel ‘guilty’ over our passion for cosmetics. : )
Wednesday, November 7, 2007
Hello Missy!
if you are so bothered about the starving kids, you first of all should,nt be on this website looking at her collection.
And its not your money she is spending. She is spending her own. Its a free world, she can do whatever the hell she likes
you should really mind your own business
Tuesday, January 1, 2008
God u r SO DAMN JEALOUS,of cristine collection…ANYONE CAN SMELL THAT!!LADISE LIKE U ARE A STAIN ON FEMALES PERSONALITY!!
Zainy..
Tuesday, January 1, 2008
my message was for ”HANNIKA”NOT FOR ”RASHMI”
Thursday, January 24, 2008
haha yeah why are you here
yelling at us. shouldn’t you
be out helping others
Friday, January 25, 2008
Are you KIDDING ME? I just saw this post, but wow. I highly highly highly doubt that every spare cent you make goes to UNICEF. I’m sure you buy CDs, DVDs, iPods, extra clothes + shoes, junk food, soda, VitaminWater, an SUV, magazines, books, etc. for your own personal enjoyment with money you could very well be donating to charity yourself. However, because you’d rather slam someone, you choose not to see that what we spend on makeup is just as much of a legitimate expense as whatever you choose to spend your money on.
Sunday, September 23, 2007
Wow! I can tell that this is your passion. I haven’t read any other sections of the site, but I surely hope you make a nice living someday by fixing up girls in your area :)
Monday, September 24, 2007
Aww, thanks! :) Makeup is just a hobby, though, not at all something I’d like to do, at least not as an artist! Now, if you’re talking about designing cosmetics or something more corporate, I’m so there!
Monday, September 24, 2007
What was your first ever mac purchase?!?!
Monday, September 24, 2007
Oh, wow, I honestly don’t know. I do remember that Shimmermoss, Shroom, Amber Lights, and Bronze were among the early additions.
Thursday, October 4, 2007
I like your Mac Collection…
I used to work for Mac here in LA and unfortunately the Mac today is not like it used to be back in the early 2000. Mac corporate is trying to restructure the company so that would be more subtle and less dramatic like it used to be. Mac’s artists nowadays are not allowed to use more than 2 eyeshadow colors… that sucks… There is a new line based in LA called Scandalous Cosmetics that I feel will soon be a competitor to Mac. I discovered it 2 weeks ago when I was visiting my ex co-workers from Mac @ Montebello Mall. Believe it or not I was surprised to find this brand’s eyeshadows to be brighter and stronger than Mac.
The packaging is not as good as Mac (I guess they don’t have the budget). But the eyeshadows are out of sight!!!! Never seen a red eyeshadow before!!
Hey Christine… if you live in Los Angeles you might want to check Scandalous Cosmetics out because I think they are looking for young creative people to help with corporate… developing the brand…
Thursday, October 4, 2007
Hi Gizelle! I was not a big MAC buyer back in 2000, so I couldn’t tell you about a quality difference really. I don’t think MAC is going less dramatic, but I think they’re being more selective and building up a true consumer-based business and leaving more exotic products in the PRO line (which IS available to nearly anyone with a phone).
I don’t live in LA, but you’re welcome to tell them about the site to get in touch with me. I went to their website, but none of the links work.
Friday, February 29, 2008
I have to say that I am rather impressed with Scandalous Cosmetics.Being an independent freelance makeup artist for years, I have to say, MAC, WATCH OUT! I had a few family members and friends get their makeup done there, BEAUTIFUL!!!
Before becoming a consumer I was skeptic, only because I passed the old “Oh, what the…wannabe MAC Girls laying in the window with spiders!!!”.
I finally got to look at the product when they converted to their booth in the middle of the mall.The eyeshadows ARE AMAZING…I have never seen so much color! The compacts are smooth and not as cakey as MAC.
I love the girls at Montebello, they are so bright,cheery and helpful, and do not make you feel uncomfortable or like you are being snobbed. They are all cute w/short black hair,(One w/bright red hair)and feirce makeup.The line isn’t as developed and reputable as MAC, but I have a feeling that it will be big…FAST.
Thursday, October 4, 2007
Wait a minute, did u say Scandalous cosmetics???
That’s my favorite brand. It’s cheaper than Mac, the staff is not snobby, I love the music they play @ their stores!!!!Scandalous is better than Mac cause they invest more money in the product itself rather than the packaging, so that way the quality of their products is superior than Mac and cheaper too! That’s what a girl that worked there told me! She also told me that their eyshadows are triple pigmented and Mac is only pigmented one time…. do u know what that means?
I used to be a Mac whore but I gotta admit that their eyeshadows pale in comparison with Scandalous’s.
Which store did you go to?
Thursday, October 4, 2007
It’s too bad I’m not in LA!
Thursday, April 17, 2008
I’m sorry but that girl @ “Scandalous” is obviously mistaken… M.A.C has always put the quality of their products first… The packaging of the MAC cosmetic line is simplicity at it’s best (basic black) to offer a high quality product… not only that, but I’m sure she was aware of and forgot to leave out that M.A.C is a social-conscious brand that offers a recycling program (Back-to-Mac) that actually allows you to return 6 empty containers for a complimentary item(eyeshadow, lipstick, or gloss) which they in turn, recycle and use to make park benches…etc. I understand… I would probably believe her too cause they don’t have the budget to put their product in a pleasant packaging. Maybe they’ll get there one day… but until then, they don’t have to lie to their customers.
Thursday, April 17, 2008
One more thing… I think she was also sugar-coating the product too when she said triple pigmented… M.A.C never has disclosed the technology they use behind their product other than the ingredients contained within the product. So pigmented once… I don’t know where she pulled that one out of… but I might have a clue “if you know what I mean.” Try M.A.C pigments… the ones from the PRO locations…. They are insane. If you’re looking for super bold color and they last forever. Can I just say I love Benefit too… Hoola is my favorite!!!
Thursday, October 4, 2007
Scandalous is the BOMB diggity!!!
$10 for an eyshadow?
I went to the the store in Montebello mall!! It’s tight!
MAC IS WACK!!!!!
I heard that the girls from Mac challenged the girls from Scandalous in a makeup showdown!!!
when is the Mac vs Scandalous showdown scheduled for?
I’ll be there and I’ll bring my video camera!!!!
cant wait!!
Saturday, October 6, 2007
Looks like Scandalous has some fans! It’s too bad their website is awful so I can’t really see much of them.
Friday, October 12, 2007
hey Christine
Honestly I think that every make up is pretty much the same. No big differences… its all about the way you market your products I guess!
Mac’s studio fix sucks balls and it makes 80% of the people that use it break out, I suspect that their eyeshadows are not as vibrant as before…
I think that Mac is just a name…. Mac is synonimous with professional, so people think it’s cool and buy it! end of the story!
I’m a professional make up artists and when I’m on the field working, people ask me what kind of makeup I use. They are so concerned about the name of the products. Everyone expect me to say “I use MAC”. But they don’t get that make up is an art form. A true make up artist would pick and choose items from different brands. For example I use chanel pro lumiere as a liquid foundation (flawless), I use the dior show as my mascara (give the longest and dramatic lashes ever), I use Scandalous as my eyeshadows and shadow base (fierce bold colors…more intense than Mac)
by the way Scandalous cosmetics have a myspace I believe it’s
myspace.com/scandalouscosmetics
I’m not sure
but anyways
Mac vs Scandalous showdown??? are you sure? where? when?
That would be a helluva show I dont wanna miss!!
Friday, October 12, 2007
Hi Gizelle!
I have to disagree about there not being big diferences, because I’ve found some in my days of makeup. I’m not sure where you get your 80% figure from, because if that was the case, the product would have been long discontinued rather than kept in the permanent line!
Of course, a true artist uses whatever products they like and think work best, but IMO, I enjoy many of MAC’s products and think they have good quality.
Friday, October 12, 2007
don’t u think that Mac is over priced?
Mac’s eyelashes are like $8. I can get the same eyelashes for 75 cents at the swap meet!!! Same quality, same eyelashes different packaging. I did a test once and showed my girlfriends 2 pair of eyelashes. No one could tell me which ones were Mac and which ones were Red Cherry!!! I mean, they perform the same they look the same but with different prices.
I mean I like certain things that Mac was doing in the beginning, but now it’s just the corporate greed to appeal to a mass audience. Did you know that Ester Lauder now owns MAC?
Christine…80% of make up brands come from the same 10-15 manufacturers in the world. The make up is pretty much the same but the packaging and advertising changes. That’s all there is to it!!!!
crazy thing to go to Macy’s and seeing a bunch of brands owned by the same company….
but anyways are you a make up artist or a makeup afecionado?
Saturday, October 13, 2007
I don’t think MAC is overpriced, because I do feel I’m buying quality cosmetics, and I have tried a wide variety of makeup from low-end to high-end. I personally can tell the difference. I don’t go to local swap meets, and to be honest, I wouldn’t feel comfortable buying makeup from one (I question the safety, distribution practices, handling, etc. of the products by such sellers) either.
Yes, I’m fully aware that Estee Lauder owns MAC, and I simply disagree with your opinions, which is not me doing anything wrong. Just because there is a conglomerate doesn’t mean that each brand is the same and produces the same product; that’s inherently an overexaggeration.
Anyway, I’m not a makeup artist; I’m just a beauty blogger :)
Tuesday, October 16, 2007
I think that many of us are victims of advertising…. well packaged prodcuts and all of a sudden you feel like that product is worth a million.
Mac is not overpriced?
It costs Mac 54c to produce an eyeshadow and they sell it for $16….give me a break.
that’s a 3200% mark up..
I used to work corporate for a major cosmetic brand. In the US there are only a handful of manufacturers for cosmetics….all the companies order their stuff from the same people. I used to oversee weekly orders and work closely with the manufacturer….well… down to almost every brand share the same manufacturer…. believe me…I have nothing to gain by saying this.
I dont wanna bust your bubble but Mac’s eyeshadows are made in China Beijing….same manufacturer as Sugar’s eyelashes…. I can give you the name and contact of the manufacturer, because I used to deal with them. Red Cherry’s an Sugar’s can be found in swap meets and lower retail places.
I understand your point… but unfortunately I think that it is naive to think that Mac’s eyelashes are handled with white gloves by those underpaid chinese workers because they bare the name Mac.
I hope this could be a wake up call…
but again nobody is more blind than a person that doesnt want to see!!
I don’t have anything agaisnt Mac or major beauty labels but if you only knew Christine if you only knew… probably today you would see things differently
Tuesday, October 16, 2007
I’m just going to respectfully disagree. I can’t appreciate an argument when someone feels the need to insult the other.
Wednesday, March 26, 2008
How is this insulting?
Tuesday, October 16, 2007
Hey Christine
I’m sorry if you felt like I insulted you….I didnt mean to insult you or disrespect you. I apologize if you feel that way. I get very emotional, because I have worked in the beauty industry from the inside for years… and there is a lot going on behind the “scenes” that you customers don’t know about.
hope you dont hate me for that…
peace + happiness
Gizelly
Wednesday, October 17, 2007
Hi Gizelle – I don’t hate you, but I think we’re just on very opposite sides and there’s no sense arguing over something that’s for fun!
Thursday, October 18, 2007
Hi Christine,
First let me tell you that I love you website, i get all my eyeshadow ideas from you. I have a question, I love to use pigments, but i dont know what to put on my eye so the pigment can stay, can you tell me what you use or any ideas on how to use the pigments?
Thanx
Isis
Friday, October 19, 2007
Hi Isis! Thank you, I’m happy you enjoy the site. I use pigments with MAC’s water-based mixing medium, which allows the pigments to adhere.
Friday, October 26, 2007
I know I’m responding to this late, but your collection makes me happy.
The main reason is because I’ve seen girls with 3x the collection you have, yet either a) none of it is used, or b) they don’t have much talent. I’m NOT saying you need to have talent to have makeup at all, but the fact that you can do the amazing things you do with your collection makes me happy.
I’m probably making zero sense, but yes. hehe
Friday, October 26, 2007
Hey Linda! Oh, this post will get responses at all times of the year, so you’re not late!
I’m happy to make you happy, LOL! :)
Monday, November 5, 2007
I love your collection! I think your collection’s FANTASTIC! Anyway, is Tres Cher lipglass permanent or LE?
Tuesday, November 6, 2007
Thanks, Sarah! Tres Cher was LE, unfortunately!
Thursday, November 8, 2007
Your collection is awe inspiring! I know you say you aren’t a makeup artist, but what with your talent and already extensive collection, have you ever considered doing it on the side?
Tuesday, December 4, 2007
Thanks, Amanda! I’ve never thought about doing it on the side because I’m so busy with the blog it doesn’t leave much time for side activites, lol!
Monday, December 3, 2007
LOVIN’ IT!!! I am a MAC fanatic but you got me beat! LOL….I’m almost there though. You do a beautiful job on your eye make-up…u go girlie! :-)
Tuesday, December 4, 2007
Thanks, Wanda!! :) You’ll pass me soon, I know it!
Sunday, December 9, 2007
What an amazing collection :0! I have nothing on you. Which other brands of makeup do you use? Or mostly just mac? Also, what are those little square colour’s you’ve fit into your palettes?
Sunday, December 9, 2007
Hey Kat! Awww! It’s been a long time building. I use primarily MAC, but I have been checking into other brands. It’s hard to afford to be an addict to more than one brand! The little squares are the eyeshadows from MAC holiday palettes.
Sunday, December 9, 2007
Well that explains how you got beautymarked (the barbie one?) in there… I remember asking a MAC sales attendant if you could put the single shadows in the palettes and she said there was a way but it was tricky and they could break, so I just kept mine as is (but I now buy them in palette form when I can… easier to organize and cheaper!)
Wednesday, December 12, 2007
Yes, it’s called depotting – it’s not that hard, but if you mess up, you can totally ruin the shadow.
Sunday, December 9, 2007
Goodness you have a mind boggling amount of pigments.
Wednesday, December 12, 2007
LOL! I love them :) They were my obsession for awhile!
Tuesday, December 11, 2007
I must say your collection is amazing! I’m not really a make up kinda gal (my definition of make up would be cheek and lip stains and lip balms, pardon me) because I really don’t know how to apply them without looking like Bozo. Some girls were just born lucky, ey? LOL.
Anyway, I just want to know if you throw away unused make ups because I heard that those things have expiration dates and stuffs like that? Or do you just keep them to make your collection bigger?
Wednesday, December 12, 2007
Nah, for me, I had to practice a lot! :) And I’m still practicing!
I throw away things that need to be if they’re not finished – mascara and that type of thing. For lipgloss/lipstick, I don’t throw away unless they turn (aka smell like crayons). Eyeshadows, powder kind, do not harbor bacteria because they’re dry.
Thursday, December 20, 2007
Hey, I love your site and I read the comments, good and bad. And I must say that you are always gonna have some haters so just do YOU! Which you are doing a great job at. (lol) Anyways, are you a makeup artist, in particular, for Brides/wedding parties???
Thursday, December 20, 2007
Hey Danyelle! Thanks for the support :) I’ve learned you can’t please everyone, lol!
Nope, I’m not a makeup artist, just a beauty blogger!
Thursday, January 17, 2008
oh my gosh!! never have i been jealous but this takes the cake! dang thats a lot of money spent compared to M.A.C prices!!!!
1 question tho, where do you get the eye shadow pans? thanks
Thursday, January 17, 2008
Hey Tatiana! I got the pans from MAC – you can buy them in pan form at freestanding MAC stores.
Thursday, January 17, 2008
I’m not envious of that collection. Where in the world would I store all that!? I just don’t know where I’d begin. But at the same time, I am envious.
So, so envious.
Haha!
I love that there’s drama in these threads. Wow.
Also, I’ve never had any problem with any MA’s being snotty- then again, I only visit the Nordstrom MAC peeps and even the ones in SF were really nice!
Friday, January 18, 2008
Hey Erin! :) I’m sooo glad you haven’t had any bad experiences with them! You’re very lucky :)
Friday, January 18, 2008
hey christine, i wrote a comment about the pans but i didnt quite understood your answer.. soo i wanted to ask again if at the mac store they sell the pans with the eye shadows on them already or just the pans and you have to depot the eye shadows yourself and put them in the pans? if you understand what i mean.. lol becuase i dont want to buy seperate eye shadows when i can just buy them in the pans if they sell them on there already hahha im soo confused..
and if they do sell the pallets with the eye shadows on there already for how much are they?
LMAO i really hope you understand!!!
Saturday, January 19, 2008
Hey Tatiana! MAC freestanding stores (not in department stores) sell eyeshadows that are just by themselves, in a little silver pan, not in a black container. You do get the eyeshadow with it, not an empty pan. Sometimes they have something called a pre-made quad, which is when there are 4 silver pans glued into a quad palette.
The pre-made quads are $32, the eyeshadows just in the pan by itself are $10 I believe. You can get either a 15 slot palette or a 4-slot quad (I think it’s $12 and $4.50).
Monday, February 4, 2008
I LOVEEE your pigments and paint pots!~!!
how much did all this stuff cost you!?!>
Monday, February 4, 2008
Thanks, Gracee! A lot, lol!
Monday, February 11, 2008
SCANDALOUS COSMETICS RULE ! … AND THE PEOPLE WORKING THERE ARE THE NICEST HUMAN BEINGS ever … THERE IS THIS 1 GUY NAMED ARMANDO I THINK HE JUST STARTED HE DID MY MAKEUP THIS PAST SATURDAY ! … I RECOMMEND HIM … HE IS REALLY GOOD ! … I think hes gonna be there this saturday at plaza mexico in lynwood again ! … but the girls makeups are the bomb ! … you guys need to go with him ! … love scandalous cosmetics !
Thursday, February 21, 2008
Hey Christine! Lovin’ the collection! I am in a bit of a bind here! Need expertly advice! Since I know you have this in your collection, I was wondering is the “Metal X “Pure Ore similar if at all to Moss Scape or Cash Flow as far as the color pay off? And would you say Moss Scape is similar to fluidline Sweet Sage? Trying to avoid buying the same color over again! (I have pure ore but have yet to try it!)
Thank you! :D
Friday, February 29, 2008
It’s close to Cash Flow, not Moss Scape, though. I would say Moss Scape is close to Sweet Sage, but not as shimmery.
Thursday, March 6, 2008
wow this is a pretty nice collection hehe :)
you really make the best out of your products, keep on the good job!
Cheeeeeeers :):):)
Inu~ (who got seduced by the MAC products hehe ;) )
Thursday, March 6, 2008
Thank you Inu!!
Thursday, March 6, 2008
Very nice collection. Curious though as to how you store everything? Lol.
I have also never had any problems with anyone working at MAC near me… everyone is so nice. You know you’re addicted when everyone who works there knows you by name!
Thursday, March 6, 2008
Hey Jenn!
I keep things in silverware drawers and plastic containers!
Aww, how cute!
Saturday, March 8, 2008
HEY HEY HEY WTF!!!! WAIT A MINUTE!!! YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT SCANDALOUS COSMETICS?!!!!!
Scandalous beats Mac hands down!!!!
Ok I like Mac and everything but I feel like Scandalous has more soul. It’s dejavu on a budget.It’s an independent company. Again Independet means corporate free. Not about the money but about the make up. These kids are putting up a show every weekend. They used to be upstairs inside a store and they used to have a crowd because of the perfomances (spyders with live manequinnes). But now they are in a kiosk downstairs center court. They still look fresh and good. Always a crowd around them. All eyes on them. You can’t help but staring as the customers buying their products.
Finally a pro makeup line without the pretentiousness. Inexpensive, GREAT products, GREAT customer service, and with more flavor and attitude than MAC. Does anyone know how can I contact the owner/s?
I talked with one of the girls that worked at the SCandalous @ Montebello and she didn’t want to give me any infos about the owner/s. Why? I dont know but anyways I like Mac too but I think I’m in LOVE with Scandalous.
So so so….SCANDALOUS…. lol

Hi Adrian… I have no idea what product it is, but you should try to contact MAC’s Gone But Not Forgotten program, and they might be able to find you it.

Scandalous vs Mac? yeah right gimme a break girl. I saw Scandalous at Stonewood Mall and googled it and here I am on this blog. Mac is one of the biggest and known make up companies in the world, and it has been around for decades for a reason! I personally wouldnt shop for make up in a cart! Mac has thousands of employees with hundreds of locations in US and thousands internationally. Scandalous is nothing! They are nobody! Why do you guys even put them at the same level? There is no comparison. They are just a wanna be knock off of Mac! I bet they will run out of business in a year or two!

What an idiotic commet Donna!!!! You wouldn’t buy make-up from a cart? Mac is better because has been around for longer and is a bigger company?
These are the shallowest remarks I have heard in a long time…
You see your philosophy is soo flawed that I think you either work for Mac or you are just an ignorant snob. I have tried Scandalous makeup at Plaza Mexico and honestly the product is better (more vibrant, thicker, more consistent) than Mac, and is cheaper. Yes you are right maybe they are not inside Macy’s expensive counter with million of dollars budgets for their slick campaign but at the end of the day, the most important thing is the MAKE UP. I could buy make up in a swap meet if the make up itself is good quality and well priced! If you go to Stonewood Mall again try one of their eyeshadows. It’s only 10 dollars! than be a judge! Dont just trash other brands without even trying them. That’s straight ignorant! I wouldnt be surprised if you try their products you might switch brand!
Another thing… when you see another woman with makeup on walking down the street can you actually say “oh she is wearing Mac” or “oh she is wearing benefit” or “oh she is wearing dior”? I bet you wouldnt even tell the difference! I honestly can’t. And even the most trained make up artist couldn’t ! but it seems to me that you buy Mac just because it’s a name brand. Well that’s your money and you can do whatever you choose with it but in my humble opinion you dont make sense!
It should be all about the make up, not the brand!
sometimes smaller companies come up with amazing products that are better than corporate companies. You are just doing a disservice to yourself if you act like you are acting
Peace .
Hope

I haven’t seen Scandalous, and since they don’t have a website, it’s hard for me to learn about them.

SCANDALOUS VS MAC?
Hey Molly I have to agree with you, I too prefer Scandalous to Mac. The price is half the reason, the other half of my reasoning in favoring Scandalous is the quality. It’s a make up artist’s make up! no doubts about it! the Shadow base from Scandalous is the best one out there. Mac uses the cream color base, which is so thin and it creases and doesnt saturate the colors as much as Scandalous’. Scandalous’ shadow base is boss!!!
I don’t know if Scandalous will ever get as big as Mac, but if it will I can tell the world that I was one of their first loyal customers! FOREVER SCANDALOUS!!! woooooooooooo!!!!
ps.
It sucks that they dont have a webpage!
J’ADORE SCANDALOUS!!!!

Love your collection! Specially your collection of paint pots!! love them so much:-)

Aw, thanks, Jheng :) It’s taken awhile to build it up!

Hi Christine,
I did have a question for you. I’m just starting to get into the pigments and I wondered if they were crease proof when they were applied with the mixing medium. I’ve used the mac paintpot and paints and added pigment but I find it alters the color slightly. What are your thoughts on this?
Thank you!!!
Friday, April 11, 2008
Hey Marcella!
Yes, they’re crease proof when used with mixing medium, at least for me. Sometimes the color will change if your base is a different color!

Hi Christine,
That’s an amazing collection! I’m going to the local MAC boutique for my first consultation tomorrow and am excited about starting my own MAC collection (I’m a new convert). My question is: how long it is safe to keep things like gloss, eyeshadow, and blush? What’s the shelf life?
Thanks!
:)

Hey Katherine!
Thanks so much!
You can keep powder products for virtually a lifetime, because they’re dry, it’s hard to harbor bacteria. You can always spritz with rubbing alcohol if you feel like it later on down the road. Glosses should be tossed when they turn (smell like crayons), and I haven’t had any of mine do that. Technically speaking, glosses should be chucked more often than that (probably 1-2 years), but it’ll also depend on how often you use it, too. Bacteria grows in warm & moist places (e.g. why a lot of women store glosses in the fridge!).

Wow gorgeous collection and very well picked I might add!!

To all the people wondering about Scandalous Cosmetics, just do a quick search of Medusa’s Makeup and you will see that its the same product, its just repackaged with a different name. Better yet search on youtube wetpaintmakeupartist: a former employee of scandalous cosmetics verifies that it’s true. Now that is what is Scandalous.

This MAC collection is epic! LOVE it! I really don’t want to take away from the original topic, which is Christine’s AMAZING collection, but this thread has totally veered off topic x10000000000000. And now I will proceed to take it off topic even more so…hahaha.
This is Scandalous Cosmetic’s marketing tactic: Send in trolls to as many boards as possible to pose as customers and market their product. The only thing is that everyone has pretty much caught on to their silly tactics (please refer to all of the above posts where these trolls echo each other with their “statistics”.)
It’s obvious the owners have no business sense and their marketing tactics are unethical (IMO). The sad part is that the owners think this is a business saavy plan. They invest no money in marketing and use Youtube and myspace to market, how D level is that? Their website has been in the making for G-d know’s how long and still nothing. And their customer service sucks balls from what I’ve read on other makeup boards.
If the above trolls, um I mean, posters, really dig SC’s products that much, buy them direct from the distributor because this line is not one that has hired their own chemist. Or better, yet, you can buy Medusa Make-Up, Hot Topic make-up, Ruby cosmetic, Bitch-Slap cosmetics (I can go on, but I won’t)because it’s ALL THE SAME THING and it’s waaayyy cheaper. SC has an outrageous mark-up.
And lastly, I’ve visited one of their kiosks and their employees have no people skills, are ultra pushy, and VERY condescending. Maybe I just happened to get a girl that was on the rag that day, I dunno.
In conclusion, to quote the above poster, “Now that is what is Scandalous.”
Now back to our regularly scheduled program!
