MAC - MAC Me Over Discussion

[lmcmullen]

My list (which keeps changing as swatches come out):

Definitely:
Lady Grey quad
OhOhOh l/s

Probably:
Cakeshop shadestick
Offshoot l/s

Maybe:
Tundra shadestick
Stunner blush
Secret Lover l/s

I wish I had the guts to pull off a red l/s like Runaway Red, but I don't. And dark colors tend to make my lips look smaller and also can bleed into the fine lines I'm getting around my 47 year old mouth LOL.

I'm really wondering about Offshoot - I wonder how close to Midimauve it is. I have Midimauve already but don't love it - it pulls a bit too warm and bricky on me.

I'm really surprised about Oh Oh Oh - it looked vile in the tube but gorgeous on Christine.

To me a lot of the shades in this collection seem kind of muddy and that doesn't work for my coloring (like Katred but with darker NC25 skin).

With swatches coming out (and loving lots that I keep adding, taking off, and re-adding products) I really want these to come out before the 25th because that's the first day of school for me and I was hoping to have these a lil before so I could create a new look with these, that runway red is just so perfect that I would go head over heels to have this for the first day

I am not into this collection one bit. So much for the FF follower. I think I will check out Outre, Prince Noir if its hot (i am thinking it may be the matte version of Dark Deed) and that's it. The collection looks like beginner's makeup, very safe and easy to use. I have shades like this already. I guess I am getting to the point where nothing is thrilling me. After a while I guess that happens.

By the way, isn't Cyber just like Smoked Purple, but with a creamier finish?

I am debating about the 226. I have one and 2 of Crown's C139, which is essentially the same thing.

So far Im thinking this collection will be a small haul for me . ..

Interested in

Outre
Creamy Bisque
Mac 226 brush

[/quote] :true: and this collection cannot touch Fab Felines at all. Extremely disappointed over here.

I'm hopping on the Ohohoh love! So unexpected on the lips. I'll be adding that to my list for sure

Starting to question the Lady Grey Quad. Guess I'm still a lil jadded since the Quite Cute quad was my first MAC quad and I dont really like it much. And I dont know if I want to pay 38$ for something I'm iffy on. What are you ladies feeling about it?

Loving the Stunner Blush so I'll be adding that. Its so crazy how much I've been loving blushes and msf's crazy lately. I used to only own Strada for the longest time.

Not sure what I feel bout the shadesticks too now. On the other hand I have seen people on youtube warm them up before they use em. I just dont know grrr.

 

[GlamQueen21]

Am I the only one that has a list that has 9 or 10 items listed?!

 

[shellygrrl]

After seeing swatches, especially of the Lady Grey quad which I was kind of interested in, I think I'll pass on that. I'll just be getting the 226. I have its Sigma twin (E45) and want to compare (and upgrade).

 

[ladyarwen]

Am I the only one that has a list that has 9 or 10 items listed?!

Hell no girl. My list has at least 10 items still. I guess I'll post my latest now that we've had swatches.
Stunner blush
Oh oh oh LS
Rebel LS
Runaway Red LS
Prince Noir LS
Carbonized ES
Mythical ES
Satin Taupe ES
Evil Eye quad
Curvaceous LG

Undecided on Outre and Moleskin.

Has Essence the gel eyeliner in their american range of products?

There is one called "I love NYC" (at least this is the product name here in Germany) and I think it looks similar to Dark Envy f/l. So if you are on a budget, perhaps you want to check this one out. By the way their gel eyeliner are great. No smudging, budging, creasing or migration of product all day long. It also works fantastic as coloured base for e/s.

Here's a swatch I made:

 

[romi79_2008]

I like Avenue, I was looking for some dark brown, almost black but not quite and this is it.
Avenue and Dark Envy for me!

 

[alonka1017]

I really am eyeing that evil eye quad, also loving the name!
I love fluid lines so those are def on my list as well as the 226 brush. Im really excited to try it.
Wish I hadnt spent so much on semi precious now!

 

[LMD84]

for the most part my list has stayed very small for this collection that's a good thing! the green fluidline is nice but i already have plenty of green liners... i don't need another

 

[buntewollsocke]

Wanna see swatches of
Evil Eye Quad

Me too. I can hardly wait for it because I want to make a final list.

It's described as a 'soft peach rose'. I seem to remember reading somewhere that it was the colour of glamorous lingerie

 

[*JJ*]

hmm..this is such a huge collection and there are only 2 things i might be interested in: secret lover and runaway red lipsticks.
very underwhelmed by this...
