MAC x Mickey Contractor discussion

I just got a package today and I now have Siahi from this collection! I'm a huge fan of blue eyeliners and this looks absolutely amazing! I can't wait to wear it, I have a feeling I may end up putting on make-up this afternoon even though I have nowhere to go!

OK so I had some stuff on hold and I get to MAC Pro and there is nothing. Hmmm. I hoping I can get Sur at the CCO this Spring. I am so annoyed. I'm over it though. I modified my list before hand so I only had Sur on it anyway.

i'm sorry you didn't get Sur :( Do you by chance have Darkly My Dear? They are almost identical. DMD is just a bit rosier:

I just got home from a physio appointment and my box arrived within minutes. How's that for timing?

Ivy & Siahi are both lovely. I've always been shy of wearing coloured liners. This is honestly the first blue liner I've owned in years. (Too many bad memories of sneaking in to use my mother's only eyeliner, which was navy.) I'm excited to use both of these, though. I don't find the colour too sheer, although I suppose that most colours will look a little less intense next to black. I find them about the same consistency as Dark Diversion.

Saffron is exactly what I wanted. It's more orange, less coral than Follow Your Fancy and it has a golden tone that makes it really rich. This is one satin where I can really see the sheen, too. I don't see the red brick comparison at all. I don't have RB, but when I've seen it in store, it really is a warm red colour, whereas Saffron is a distinct golden orange.

Mehr is a lovely, all-purpose lipstick. It's very safe and standard, but it's a lovely colour. Below is a swatch of it in the middle. On top is Brave, which is close but a noticeably more brown and below is Warm Me Up, which is brighter and more orange. Also, I've included photos of all three on my lips, as well of a shot of my lips on their own. I don't know how apparent the difference is on most people's computer screens, but Mehr is quite a bit darker than Brave, as well as being pinker/ cooler. Brave is more of a true neutral, while WMU is quite warm, a really caramel colour with just a bit of pink in it. Hope this helps with people's choices! (All photos were taken in natural light with no flash.)

Wonderful pictures katred - thanks so much! It looks like MAC online will be restocking some of the items from this collection...no indication on Sur or Mehr so far, but both fluidlines, Saffron, Oomph and Yash are "coming soon". Hope some who were disappointed can get these!

Karla compared Yash to a bunch of other MAC lipsticks here:

and also reviewed most of the rest of the collection here:

Cannot wait for Mehr and Gulabi to arrive

Thanks for the swatches katred.

I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of Mehr and Gulabi too! It finally went from pending to shipped, so I just have to figure out when it's going to arrive so I can be here to sign for the box.

bevcita thanks so much for the pics of Sur and Darkly My Dear.

Since most of the products are sold out online. I decided to hunt them down in the local Mac stores. As I called one Mac store they said that they didnt carry it and that there were specific locations across Canada that carries this collection. I think I heard the MUA say 22 locations. I called the Mac @Square One (Mississauga) since this was one of the locations that are carrying it. told the MUA to put some products on hold for me. I'm definitely getting the Select Moisturecover Duo Concealer and maybe Mehr lipstick. Now, I have to make some time to go pick them up.

I hope you're able to get what you want.

I wish I was close enough to a MAC store that carried the collection to try the duo concealer. I was really hoping the Montreal store would have it because that's only a 2 hour drive from here. Hopefully they will come out with something like this again that will be more widely available.

Mehr arrived today!! OMG I love it so much! I was worried it would be too brown and I would look like a 90's reject, but it's definitely pinky-brown on me. Just gorgeous and might have just replaced Made to Order as my favorite l/s!

I ordered the concealer duo b/c Bobbi Brown Dark Peach concealer is sold out on Sephora, so I am going for next best things plus I love moisturecover. I don't know why I am obsessed with this collection and not Peacocky, I am even contemplating the purple e/s even though I have Fertile.

Thx. Katred for the lip swatches. I am glad I skipped Mehr b/c I knew it was going to too rosy brown on me but I love Brave.
