MAC - Holiday 2010 A Tartan Tale Discussion

[shontay07108]

My list is still solid after looking at Erin's swatches. I'm just nodding my head because I remember studying all these colors on the back of my hand. However, Courting Lilac, Cut A Caper and My Highland Honey look much better on her complexion than they did on mine and I'm still disappointed in the single shadows.

Edit to add: I meant to rave about Hold My Gaze in the 6 beauties palette. It's amazing! It's one of the coolest colors I've ever seen.

How does Courting Lilac compare to Blooming Lovely(from GMLOL)?

I really like Sly as a Fox np...it's brown, but not too brown, with red in it...imo anyway...a np color Ive been looking for

 

[TealAngel]

There hasn't been much talk about the lip kits! Are they on anyone's list?

I like the Happily Ever After one...not sure if I want two more frost ls though

I'm up in the air about the single lipsticks! Not sure how I feel about them yet colorwise...


Black Swan pg is a possibility...don't think I own a black liner...and what's better than a black liner with silver sparkles!?


OoOoo...and I like the single eyeshadow in Semi-Precious

glamora castle will look good on any skintone!

sadly, golden crown isn't unique at all.

 

[caramel_geek]

Thanks for the swatches!

I admit the tartan prints on the e/s are super cute! But...I'd have to skip all the individual e/s. Saving money for the pigments and pearlglides.

From Erine's swatches I like:

My Highland Honey blush
Her Blooming Cheek blush
A Wish Come True e/s *
Enviably Fun e/s *
Follow your Fantasy e/s *
Full Fuchsia l/s *
The Faerie Glen l/s *
Cut A Caper l/s
Radiant Jewels l/g *
Sly As A Fox n/l
Style Clan n/l

Those with the * are the ones that I like more. Omg, I'm not gonna spend another $300+ on makeup so soon after the VV collection!

 

[peachsuns]

Thank you so much, Erin!!! I was jumping with joy when I saw your swatches!

I'm still smiling. Yay!

So, where should I even begin?

I like the look of :
Moonlight Night pigment - blackened teal with teal pearl
The Family Crest pigment - blackend bronze with bronze pearl
Dashing Lassie eyeshadow palette
Undercurrent Pearlglide Intense eye liner - teal with pearl
A Wish Come True e/s - dirty mauve with bubblegum pink tartan striping
Follow Your Fantasy e/s - mid-tone peach with chocolate tartan striping
Glamora Castle e/s - dark grey with teal tartan striping

I adore Glamora Castle & Golden Crown, do you have a recommendation for something to dupe Golden Crown with? (And, thank you for swatches, makes my day!!!)

 

[singer82]

Hmmm Courtiing Lilac is kinda blah looking. Not at all like I expected. I might pass esp if theres some better looking purple lipsticks coming in the near future? .... hint hint lol.....is there? haha

me too! the other ones just don't interest me at all anymore now i have seen swatches

 

[laylalovesmac]

My list has expanded thanks to the new swatches (Thanks, Erin!

)!

Glamora Castle e/s
Moonlight Night p/m
The Family Crest p/m
Black Swan p/g

and The Faerie Glen x10000

I know that's crazy since it is very close to Hug Me, but when I tried Hug Me, it was like one shade too dark to be my perfect nude, so come to mama!

And as soon as abbyquack said rock and roll eye, I was sold on Reelers and Rockers again.

And the three lipgloss sets.

Shit.

 

[Pinkdollface]

Thank you erin! Now the blushes and single shadows are definitely off my list

The blushes can be duped easily and the shadows look nice in the pan, but the swatches do nothing for me.

 

[TeresitaMC]

Hmm, I was interested in 3 of the single e/s...

Glamora Castle: I will be getting the cool pigments set which contains gray(s)...
Golden Crown: looks sooooo wicked! But colour-wise it seems so dupeable

A Wish Come True: looks more like a peachy colour, which I didn't expect.

So I may not be getting any of these nicely designed e/s's

...darnit!

yeah the shadows don't seem that great to me anymore. although i love the way that they look!

 

[Ilenia]

My list has narrowed down now, unfortunately but most of the colors aren't made for me or don't seem to be that special.
I really wanted to have The Faerie Glen but after the swatches, I think I prefer Hug Me.
And I guess I just stick to the normal Dazzleglasses since someone wrote that the DGC don't stay on her lips for long.

My list now is:
Pigment US$19.50
The Family Crest- blackend bronze with bronze pearl

Pearlglide Intense eye liner US$14.50
Black Line- black with gold pearl

Viva Glam lip bag US$36.00
Tis Noble To Give

Not much, is it? I'm still hoping for swatches of the mini glass sets tho.

 

[laylalovesmac]

Revised slightly:

The Faerie Glen (x?)
The Family Crest
Moonlight Night
Reelers & Rockers
Sir Teddy
Sassy Pink/Neutral/Coral Lassies (all three!

)

 

[dreamer246]

I wonder if HBC will be more wearable than Azalea/Full Fuchsia?

 

[mystery]

Thanks for all the swatches erin and shontay!

I'm seriously loving this collection!

My list still hasn't changed all that much though -

-Undercurrent
-Black Swan
-Family Crest
-Dashing Lassies palette
-Pink OR Coral Lipglass set (not sure which one yet

)
-Call me crazy, but yes, Golden Crown

I know it may not be unique, but its just my sort of colour and i love the tartan print? on it
