MAC Daphne Guinness Discussion

[katred]

I have swatches of the Interior Life Quad up. The specktra rules wont let me post a link to my own blog post, so I hope that those of you interested can find it.

I'll say that Bruised Sky and Interior Life are wonderful colours. Smooth and soft. The dark grey Heather Belles is also nice. Stratus is not showing up hardly on my NC20 skin, but it will make a decent very nude highlighter with the rest of the quad.

Thanks very much for the swatches! How would you say that the quad compares to Palace Pedigreed from Fabulous Felines? I just ask because it does look similar, but darker overall.

Also, I didn't realise about the no blog links rule- I thought it was OK as long as it was in the context of a post- very sorry if I've accidentally misbehaved on this count. (I know I have.)

Thanks for the swatches Katjamo!

I really hope MAC comes out with a true lilacy/lavenderish blush.

I share the same sentiment. I have been hoping for the last 2 years that MAC will come out w/ a mineralized lilac lavendar (color of a lilac bush) that's exactly the same in texture as Love Rock, Moon River & Improvise. A lilac lavendar is a fabulous shade to layer over pinks.

thanks for the quad pics
to me.... it looks the same as palace pedigree just more pigmented... all the colours kind of look the same?

OMG it does look like that quad lol I was wondering why it looks so similar to something I've seen before!

Thanks! I'm not moved to buy it.

I'm not either.

 

[Piarpreet]

I can't find swatches...Katjamo's either. Are they not in the swatch thread?

Yeah, I was contemplating the quad, but the swatches make it look like it's kind of matte. I'm a huge fan of glittery everything, so I may cross it off my list. I'll have to wait to see it in person before I make a final decision. Definitely want all three pigments, though.

I'm glad the colors are more muted and matte - for a change.

If you like metallic and glitter, check out the new Metal X that are coming out.

I'll check them out, but I've heard so many differing opinions on those. Lots are saying they crease badly. I'd like to check out Mega Metal, since I only started getting into Mac a few months ago and have missed all those great collections.

I will be skipping that quad, totally not my thing.

 

[GlamQueen21]

I'm going to skip Interior Life Quad. I'm not moved by it. I will just stick to getting Seasoned Plum PLW Lip Creme, Aurora p/g, and Japanese Spring c/g.

Thanks for the pictures I cam safely take the quad off my list. I think it will just be the blushes for me

me too - it will be a welcomed change in my quad collection

 

[Piarpreet]

I think I'm lost.... are there swatches out yet?

Hmm... I'm not amazed by the collection cos I already have the ombres. I decided to skip this collection cos I'll be in Spain and I already got them, even though azalea blossom (mine at least) has less purple than pink, which is a saaad thing for me!

 

[Mac-Guy]

Absolutely

 

[RayannaBanana]

I want more swatches!

Here is the quad on Katjamo's blog. I haven't seen any other swatches yet.

I got to swatch some of the collection at my counter today.

Warp speed looks like a sheer gloss. It really didn't show up much on my skin.
Seasoned plum is a lot more purple than I expected.
Approaching storm is almost burgunday in my opinion, leaning toward brown on me.
Red Dwarf is so, so beautiful, a pinky-red.
Narcissus gloss is a pretty pink-lavender.
Japanese Spring is a nice light pink.
Aurora pigment is very light, after rubbing a little on my hand I could barely see it.
The blushes I didn't swatch but they are so gorgeous in the pans.
The quad looks like a lot of colours I already have but is very nice and I think you could get a lot of use from it.

Overall it is a really nice collection. Unfortunately my SA said they weren't pre-selling so I will have to go there on the 26th.

I like the quad, just seems familiar, I also think it reminds me of Palace Pedigree.
