MAC - MAC Me Over Discussion

[katred]

Thanks for posting the additional swatches! Prince Noir looks exactly like the permanent Pro colour Sin. So now I have to question whether I get it, since I have Sin already. It is one of those dry mattes, so maybe the formula on this is better, but do I really want such a closes dupe of something I already have? Hm...

 

[Mac-Guy]

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

I'm right with you

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

I really though it was a color without shimmer! that color is cute, but I wouldn't use it as a blush (I don't like to use such greasy color over my oily lids XD)

It's the pink one (right side). I'm sold. Including BU. Period.

I don't see too much shimmer for Seaside... But yes, CCB's will look more oily, greasy, slick, shiny, wet - whatever you want to call it - if used on the lid.

 

[xasperadastra]

and what a bout stunner? is it a peach or a pink? we have two diferent swatches, I don't know what to think

sorry but really, how can the left one be stunner? it has shimmer... metallic .... it's a satin blush XD

 

[Mac-Guy]

Without knowing for sure, I would say that the left swatch is Mythical

ahahaah yes, I also have though this XDXDXDXD

 

[PinkBasset]

Isn't it the CCB and Stunner side by side like it says there? It's just written in different order than they are in the swatch.

Not sure where you see pink? Maybe you confused it with CCB SS?

Tx for the links Pinkdollface!!! I'm still on the Prince Noir bandwagon even though I thought it would look different. More of a blueish-purpley-wine color. It kind of reminds me of Cunning and/or Kittenish from Fabulous Felines. Anyone else see a resemblence? I also see a little resemblence to Sin which I also have. I just love me some dark lippies in the Fall/Winter. Not sure about Secret Lover. Rebel has me wanting it now. Smoked Purple I still kind-of want, but... I'm hearing the matte formula in it is rough, dry and hard to work with, so maybe I should skip it. I still want Runaway Red and Oh Oh Oh. Waiting to see Offshoot now.
And darn. Lady Grey eyeshadow quad looks amazing. Trying to resist to save for future collections. Help!!!

Karen has swatches of the lipsticks http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/...-starring-my-secret-lover-thats-what-you-are/

I have Kittenish l/s and Nightmoth l/l and when i use those together i think it looks a lot like Prince Noir, but with a more glossy finish. I'm not sure if i need Prince Noir. I rarely wear dark coloured lips and if i want to wear one i think Kittenish and Nightmoth will do.
I love Runaway Red in christine's swatches! I have Russian Red and sometimes i want a red that's less bright and a bit deeper than that one. This looks like that kind of red. I like Oh Oh Oh as well.
I hope we get swatches of the Evil Eye quad soon. I really want to know what it will look like.

 

[OctoberViolet]

I also have Russian Red. I like it, but I don't wear it too much being that it is soooo bright and after awhile it my lips get dry and it cakes on me. I definitely need to try Runaway Red and Oh Oh Oh l/s. I'm glad you also like Kittenish. It's a favorite of mine for the Fall. Plus, I just love the name.

 

[Pinkdollface]

I like the name too! I had the same problem with matte lipsticks first, but i got mac prep & prime lip and that helps really well. I have tried using lipbalm, but that makes the lipstick go on slippery and i don't like that, but prep & prime doesn't have that problem. I let it sit for a minute and then apply my lipstick on top and it keeps my lips moisturized a lot better.

so is stunner like pink cult?


What do you do with shadesticks and CCB's?


I bet carbonized is like a dark, steel black. with a little silver sheen or sparkle to it. Maybe a VP Carbon?

I bet Evil Eye is darker.

[/quote] That would be very cool, but from the description Carbonized sounds a lot like Magnetic Fields. I still hope you are right and it is a black like Carbon in VP finish.

 

[Rezel]

I only have one red lipstick and it's Russian Red. Like most of you, I only wear it at night and on special occasions. I'd love Runaway Red. I hope someone will compare it to Russian Red.

You can compare temptalia's swatch of Russian Red from wonder woman with her Runaway Red swatch. Russian Red seems a lot brighter.

Im thinking Carbonized will look more like urban decays Dark horse
