MAC - Wonder Woman Discussion

[berryjuicy]

My list has severely dwindled down.

Definite:
Golden Lariat. I actually think the orangyness (not a word i know!) will look good on darker complexions...at least the two orangy blushes I own I love on my skin. I can picture the beautiful sheen coming off my cheeks when spring finally arrives lol!

Possibly
Pink Power
Mighty Aphrodite

Skipping the lipsticks, as I can tell Marquise D will be too sheer for my pigmented lips and the others I'm just not feeling. Well Russian Red, but it can wait I suppose. I've put myself on an eyeshadow no buy for now so those are out too.

Guess i'll just have to figure out if it's a deal breaker.



My thoughts exactly. I HATE the bronzer in it. If Pink Power were just the outside colors I would buy it.

My ma told me he thought that the blue mascara was an exact dupe for Dior's blue. He said it was really pretty.

The second half of Temptalia's review is up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm7lBSorQsg&feature=feedu

I think I'm just gonna get two items from this collection marquise'd and mighty aphrodite. Hearing that this blush is a dupe for ripe peach, I'm scared to try and get it when it comes online.

 

[shontay07108]

Sooo, the coral blush is a dupe or quite close to Ripe Peach. I didn't buy Ripe Peach for some reason, so me thinks that I may need this blush. I'm eager to see lip swatches. I hope they don't make me want Spitfire.

ugh its still not working,my anxiety is kicking in

I think its going to be really pretty. It was not on my list before. darn it! LOL!
I feel like i want 2 blushes and one MSF now. and Secret Identity... those are the items i will be into when i go to the store.

 

[ChelsMarie]

Ok this is my final list for what I am going to check out... I think lol
List includes prices.

Wonder Woman Lipglass $20
Athena's Kiss Lipglass $20

Spitfire Lipstick $15.50
Marquise d' $15.50

Valiant Eyeshadow Quad $40

Amazon Princess Blush $24
Mighty Aphrodite $24

Victorious Mascara $15
Army Of Amazons $15

OMG This list is way too expensive for me lol

Wow those MSF's are HUGE! I don't want them and I find it hilarious how they just decided to omit the mirrors in them.

I still only want Marquise d lipstick. I also find it odd how the blushes aren't half n half, I wonder what finish the peachy one is? If it really is close to ripe peach, I may pick it up. I skipped ripe peach 'cause I didn't like the texture of blush ombres.

 

[RedVelvetX]

I think i'll just get the Mighty Aphrodite blush and Marquise D'. Not sure if it's worth paying for the Pink Power MSF and not using 1/3 of it because of the bronzer.

 

[Honey&LemonGirl]

^^ Mighty Aphrodite does look like a pinker Ripe Peach, but the finish definitely seems different. Maybe a frost or a particularly frosty satin finish: http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/...nder-woman-swatches-Mighty-Aphrodite-nw20.jpg

It looks a bit like NARS Deep Throat?

You're right! Damn. I think I may need to get it now- RP is one of my biggest regrets.

I may also need Emancipation gloss again. Otherwise, no new swatches sway me.

I think I'll also skip the penultimate this time around and get it in regular packaging. She mentioned that paper seam and those always drive me insane!

 

[yasmin1983]

My list has changed since I first saw this line.

Im going with a blush cause it has a mirror and a gloss and lipstick. I think im doing pretty good

 

[katred]

I hadn't seen the Makeup and Beauty Blog swatches before, but now that I have, Spitfire is definitely off my list. Looks like a less exciting version of Style Curve. None of the other lip colours appeal to me at all.

The sheen on it is nice. Its back on my list. I think I am going to skip the MSFs... or worry about it later on after the launch. I am just going to focus on the blushes, and Secret Identity.

 

[JennsJewelz]

LOL, it was crazy to come back to this thread!!! There were 97 messages waiting, so I knew swatches were up!

Ugh, I'm torn - I'm still really in love with Pink Power, and now I'm soooo in love with Mighty Aphrodite! I think I can pass on the l/g and just stick with Marquise d', though.... but Emancipation is really pretty! I would definitely have to limit myself to those 4 things...

 

[QueenofSpades81]

Well, I've nixed the Lady Justice Quad. I'll just buy Deep Truth and get some other blues from the Jeanius Collection. So now it's:

Marquise 'D $15.50
Mighty Aphrodite $24.00
Golden Lariate $35.00

This seems reasonable to me.

 

[shontay07108]

Yay! Temptalia is back up and there are more swatches.

 

[Twinkle_Twinkle]

I am thinking maybe for Mighty Aphrodite Blush Duo, and yes to Golden Lariat MSF and Valiant Eyeshadow Quad.

Probably no for Amazon Princess Blush Duo (it looks too cool-toned for me) Pink Power MSF, and the other two eye shadow quads. So three things in total = not bad at all.
