Sends bigggg ~~~~HUGS~~~~ to my darlin Erin -- missed ya!!

 

[gildedangel]

Alright, after seeing swatches my list has changed slighty. I want:

• Her Blooming Cheek
• The Family Crest
• Moonlight Night
• Later (maybe, I need to see it in person first)
• The Faerie Glen
• Dashing Lassie Palette

Hopefully I'll be able to B2M for TFG (I need one more empty!), because my wallet is not going to be happy with me!

 

[LittleMaryJane]

I keep forgetting about my empties!! Then I get excited when I remember I can afford more than I thought I could w/them.

When she saw this at training, there was a very fair blonde that they used MHH on & she said it looked beautiful on her.

I posted a shot of a model with a freckle face and natural red hair with something that looked like MHH somewhere way back in this thread and it really looked nice on that complexion too.

I got an invite to an unveiling next Tu! So I'll be going and will give everyone my impressions. Personally, I don't think I'm going to go to town on this collection. Black Swan is all I really care about - the more neutral DGCs look nice but I'm going to wait for the lip gelees from Cham Pale. Also, some of the single shadows and palates look pretty sweet, but I keep thinking about the MegaMetals and it's holding me back. I'll still swatch and give feedback on anything so ask questions and I'll try and keep them in mind.

P.S. - the unveiling is being sponsored by Bulleit Bourbon so I'm guessing the drinks will be good! Pity they couldn't find some Scotch for it instead!

Darlin, what they SAY and what is actually DONE on a photo shoot are two different things.. don't be surprised at that cause it happens all the time!

So true, and even after that they manipulate the coloring of everything with lighting and color editing. It is a gorgeous promo shot though!

Erin, would you be willing to do a swatch of Glamora castle vs. Smoke and diamonds sometime? I have S&D and love it but not sure if I need another one just like it if it is a total dupe. Thanks so much in advance and for all of your help!!!

if i can remember to do so on monday i will.

I noticed that, too.

Sadly, I'm not of drinking age yet.

Oooh interesting TFG could creep onto my list, seen as I love HugMe.

Just had to skip 10+ pages, so much to catch up on *sigh*

 

[Susanne]

Yay!!

Btw, for European gals: TT will be launched the 2nd November in Germany

If you could sneak a drink anywhere, a crowded, buffalo stampede MAC unveiling could be a pretty good bet

(Pretend I didn't say that - talk about enabling!

)

If my mom weren't accompanying me....

jk, jk.

 

[Alty]

Wow, this topic is huge!

Thank you so much for the swatches. I'm working on my wishlist and I'll post it as soon as it's (kinda) ready ^_^

haha - well if Mom's buying you some new makeup, it's all good! If I really had to pick one or the other, I'd choose makeup over booze anyhow!

Here are some more swatches from a blog http://www.mylipsbutbetter.com/2010/10/mac-tartan-tale-chapter-1-swatches.html#more















My list is still:

- Family Crest pigment

- Lord It Up pearlglide liner

MAYBE:

- The Faerie Glen

 

[Alty]

I want 'em all *_* can't decide…really, there are too many cute things!

These are the ones I like

Lipstick Courting Lilac
Dazzleglass Creme Radiant Jewels
Dazzleglass Creme Romancin’
Eyeshadow A Wish Come True
Eyeshadow Enviably Fun ???
Eyeshadow Semi-Precious
Eyeshadow Glamora Castle
Pigment Later
Pigment Moonlight Night
Pearlglide Petrol Blue
Pearlglide Undercurrent
Pearlglide Black Swan
6 Beauties Play It Cool Eyeshadow Palette
Happily Ever After Lip Kit
Vain & Glorious Lip Bag
Sassy Pink Lassies Lipglass

Cool Thrillseekers Pigments/Glitters
Sir Teddy

But they're waaay to many for my budget so I made in purple the ones I like the most, in bold the ones I really, really want.

I'm passing on all the blushes and nail polishes, not so sure about the lipstick/dazzleglass cremes and the eyeshadows.
Enviably fun looks very yellow in the swatches, almost a lime green rather then the "grass green" of the descriprion. Can anyone confirm?
Oh and yes, I desperately want the teddy bear. What's wrong with me?

 

[saouri]

Follow your fantasy looks so much richer than S&S in these swatches!!!
Ok, I am happy that my list is getting shorter --- but then again it tends to fill itself up again with other things.

My current wishlist:
Dashing Lassie
My Highland Honey
Dazzle the Lads

MAYBEs (or rather PROBABLYs):
Golden Crown
TFG
CAC

Am also contemplating A wish come true now (will try this at the MACcounter if it's still available)

Sly as a fox and Undercurrent are off the list (trying to be reasonable here

) - as well as HBC

I think I'll try out other blushes that might do the trick for me (will check out Frankly Scarlet maybe??)

 

[LMD84]

i'm getting annoyed at myself! i keep thinking that i want a lip bag however i know it's just for the bag! the products i am not too fussed about. and i can't wiat for next month to get the couple of goodies that i want. pigments!!!

 

[LittleMaryJane]

I really want a bag! But I definitely don't NEED one and I probably can't really afford it. But... That might not stop me.
