MAC - Holiday 2010 A Tartan Tale Discussion

[Alty]

Do we have more model pictures? Or pictures of the little poetry books mentioned were given out at the opening? I am sooooo jealous right now of all the girls that got to go. *sigh* stupid midterms

I'm jealous too.
I want the pins, and the books, and the model's hair possibly

OK ladies and gents! As promised, here are the new photos taken in natural lighting!

This is as close as I'm gonna get

These are MUCH closer than what I posted last night - as you can see, I'm no longer a strange shade of yellow and orange!

Hope this helps!

OMG Cut A Caper looks so pretty on your swatch! Thank you! I hope it looks that pretty on me too (or maybe not, so I wouldn't jeopardize my wallet

)

^ LOL! Thanks for the compliment

I'm sure it will look gorgeous on you! Between TFG and CAC, I think this one's prettier! *gasp* And I thought I was going to love TFG!

Please no one hurt me for showing such favouritism! lol

'Just to play devil's advocate on TFG, I found it too sheer to do much on my red lips (NC15). Call My Bluff from In The Groove worked better for me.

HOWEVER, if TFG isn't quite right, or you're just willing to spend a little extra for variety, A Fabulous Fantasy lip kit has a range of really nice nudes and they're all brand new LEs for this collection. I would have gotten it if I hadn't been trying to limit myself.

Sorry everyone, just realized that I've been saying MAIRA'S MOOD when it's really MELLOW MOOD.

This is why I should always be wearing my glasses!

I really have no idea where I got that name from - I was organizing all of my eyeshadows yesterday though, so that could be it... maybe I just combined Maira's Magic and Mellow Mood!

 

[LMD84]

ooohhh i'm so excited for pigments!

hee hee! they look and sound freaking awesome!

Me too!!!! Too bad the sets are coming out in Chapter 2 - I can't wait this long!!!

 

[dxgirly]

I think after looking at swatches that I'm going to try to get all three fullsize pigments, Romancin' dazzleglass creme, Semi-Precious eyeshadow, and Sassy Pink Lassies mini lipglass set.

**Might** pick up the mini pigment sets, I'm waiting for pictures

true! but at least we get the awesome new full sized ones next month! i'll be getting family crest and the other new one.... i forget it's name!!

Guys, need your rec please. If you were to get only 1 pigment, which one would u choose? I can't decide between Moonlight Night and Family Crest. TIA!

 

[LittleMaryJane]

I don't think I'm actually getting either but if I were going to get one, I'd go with FC.

 

[Teggy]

Eh...seeing the Romancin gloss in swatches, I'm not as wowed. I'll still try it on.

I would like to try Her Blooming Cheek though. Bite of an Apple worked surprisingly well on pale gals. What do you guys think of HBC for someone who's NC15?

I"m NW15 and I'll definitelly get it! Can't wait to try the look of the model, I'm using Full Fuchsia and Don't Be Shy + Petticoat in anticipation. It's not the same, but is the closest that I can get with my stash

Family Crest, hands down. For sure.

 

[saouri]

laylalovesmac, thank you sooooo much for the swatch, this is plain gorgeous!!! It looks perfect on your lips too. Hope you feel better soon!

 

[elegant-one]

Only for this lipstick would I post a lip swatch!

jk, jk.

You'll notice that my lips are a little bare at the bottom. I'd like to say this is because I wanted to compare with/without lipstick, but the truth is I'm kind of under the weather, and I just didn't feel like taking the time to put it on correctly.

Pretty on you! So how would you describe the color

 

[User38]

layla and liba -- thank you for the excellent job of reporting

 

[User38]

Teggy I think it would look lovely on an NC or NW15 paley person... try it

you will love it.

 

[laylalovesmac]

Thanks!

Kind of hard to describe... I think it's one of those colors that will look different on a lot of people. On my hand, it certainly leans more toffee, but on the lips it is a nice neutral-pink. Then again, I'm really not good at describing colors. Sorry!

lol @ my germophobia -- but good girl, you don't want to catch something more sinister and you still got your great ls
