MAC x Mickey Contractor discussion

[shontay07108]

No,they are only releasing in the top 22 stores for sure,it was confirmed today by MAC.

Will it be at all pro stores?

I like Athma but I've had Folie for awhile and I just bought Carbon so pass.

We were apparently inhabiting the same alternate universe. I thought the same thing, but apparently we're back to 22 stores plus on line. Part of me wonders if "top 22 stores" and "pro stores" don't mean the same thing, but then I'd think that they would have just said it was available at pro stores. (It's just a guess, but I'm thinking that there aren't more than 22 pro stores in north america. I could be way off base.)

I wonder if I need Oomph since I love the green in the Twists of Tartan palette. Hm.

They didn't say,which is the weird part,they just said they were compiling a list.They know,they just won't say for some bizarre reason.MAC isn't exactly very organized with collections nowadays.

Will it be at all pro stores?

I like Athma but I've had Folie for awhile and I just bought Carbon so pass.

 

[RayannaBanana]

I want Gana blush!

 

[LMD84]

yeah i need the white gold blush! but on the plus side i can skip ivy fluidline because i just got mufe #22 aqua cream and it looks the same

 

[laylalovesmac]

I too am loving Siahi! I'm not sure about Ivy, though...

Just wanted to say your new avatar is gorgeous!

My new list after Temptalia's swatches:

Flesh Lipglass (HerGreyness recommends it and I'm completely digging the shade as of now)
Mehr Lipstick (if I can afford it)
Yash Lipstick
Gana Blush
Sur Blush (if I can afford it, kind of dark for me but I'm loving it, too)
Marvel Eyeshadow
Oomph Eyeshadow

 

[shontay07108]

Why didn't I know that Lust lipglass is perm? D'oh! I want it. Flesh is looking pretty nasty on, but I think my complexion will help it. I can imagine it over Siss and Nars Honolulu Honey. So I will probably get:
Flesh lipglass
Lust lipglass
Siahi fluidline
Yash lipstick (I hate mattes, but a Flesh or Lust on top should be rockin')
Saffron shadow

I appreciate being able to see the shadows on temptalia, of course. However, she claimed that the Tartan Tale palettes were sheer and I didn't find that o be true at all! I will wait to see them in person to make a decision. I like the purple, green and coral ones.

Interestingly she also claimed that the Tartan Tale plaid design e/s were sheer - I have Semi Precious and Glamora Castle - they are both beautiful on top of Painterly.

MAC is really killing me with this whole top 22 stores thing. I guess it's one thing to make it the top 22 stores but then to be all secretive about which stores?

Or have they released it and I'm just talking out my ass?

Anyway. I want both fluidlines and Sur blush.

 

[rockin]

Having now seen Temptalia's swatches, and her video review, I think I've changed my want list slightly.

I'm now wanting Ivy, Siahi, Mehr and Saffron, Marvel is beautiful, and still a strong possible, but I may go for the purples in Peacocky instead.

I'm considering Gana, too. I am very pale skinned with dark brown (with natural 'silver' highlights) and dark brown eyes - does anyone know if this is likely to suit me?

I'm assuming, of course, that this will be available online in the UK.

 

[kellbell8577]

I totally agree! I was gonna at least get the Mehr lipstick, but after seeing the swatches, nothing stands out. Was very surprised at how light the colors appeared.

 

[katred]

Based on Temptalia's swatches and review, this is what I'm looking at:

Siahi e/l
Saffron e/s
Gana p/b

Maybes- Ivy, Mehr

I'm hoping that my pro store is one of the ones to get this collection, because I'm honestly a little iffy even on the three I want. Gana looks lovely, but I have highlighters out the wazoo and I don't know if it's distinctive enough to warrant a purchase. Mehr looks pretty but very dupe-able. Ivy is very pretty, but I don't know how often I'd actually wear it.

 

[FemmeFatale]

let us know how it goes at the Pro store...I might pop over there later too...

Ivy looks great but I have the green Mufe aqua cream. The colors aren't exact but close and I'd feel like a dope for having both. If my haul is relatively small, I may pick it up anyway. I can't wait to just get there and see everything!

 

[sss215]

I actually find Temptalia's shadow swatches look pretty pigmented, even if she found the colours ran a bit sheer. Back to wanting Saffron, which looks less coral and more orange than it did in the other swatches. May need to give in to Oomph as well.

I love Saffron, since she said it was a mix between rule and red brick i was sold even more since those are my favorite crease colors. They blend beautifully on my skin especially when i use purples and blues. i am going to get on live chat today to see if any of these 22 stores are local to me. If not, I don't know how I feel dealing with online without swatching first. Maybe i'll take a chance on the blue fluidline instead. its pretty!

MUFE #48 shadow looks like a dupe of Saffron to me. So if I can't get Saffron, I'm cool with it... if it shows up at the CCO, i'll haul then. The blue fluidline is beautiful.

overall the collection looks beautiful.

OMG i just saw swatches on temptalia... and yash l/s looks almost like brave new bronze from style warriors. it's totally one of my HG lippies! i never got a backup so i am super excited to check yash out!!!

 

[elegant-one]

Awesome - thanks for that as I think that makes such a beautiful eye popping color!!!

UK belles announcement:

I just saw on twitter that this collection and Champ Pale are now instore, I assume this is the PRO store - it will take me an hour to get there so i'll have to wait till tomorrow to go check it out!!!

 

[Rinstar]

Right now, my list for this looks like Siahi fluidline is the only definite! I may pick up Gana blush or Gulabi l/s depending on how many e/s I get from Peacocky. None of the e/s in this are really standing out for me.

 

[shontay07108]

Nevermind. Wrong thread.

 

[Sass]

I decided on Sur blush since I don't have Notable...and if I can find Notable I will get that one too because I totally snoozed on it and I hate myself for it. And Yash l/s. That's it. The fluidlines look very nice, but I really want some of those Aqua Creams from MUFE...I'll get more use out of those than non-black fluidlines.
