MAC Daphne Guinness Discussion

Uh oh I kind of like the look of Seasoned Plum but I don't know if I can pull that colour off. I have Faithfully Yours is that close enough?

^ those colors r interesting

 

[Naynadine]

Thank you so much for the swatches. I was looking forward to see Hyperion, I like that color a lot. The other one looks really pretty in the bottle as well.

Now the question for the group is should I get Richly Revered? Temptalia says it's close to NARS Nana which I own, but to my eyes they really don't look that similar. Of course any addict can see minor similarities so I fully admit I have a gloss problem, but any opinions would be appreciated! ​

I don't have Nana to compare, but personally, I love Richly Revered, which I've been using like clockwork since Semi-Precious. It's semi-opaque, not fully opaque, which is something to consider since you mentioned you like bold lips. It does do a great job of deepening and sexing-up other lipsticks underneath or looking vampy without being heavy when worn alone. I'm going to back it up from DG!

It sounds very nice and I do need something more calm when I can't be so bold. I'll be sure to look at it person. Thanks for your thoughts!

VINTAGE GRAPE alll day

From the swatches online, Vintage Grape is looking awesome! I gotta check it out in person for myself.

Ernie- Thanks very much for the swatches! Seasoned Plum is stunning, but because I already have both Plum Bright and Bust Out, I think I'm gonna let this one go... Too many other things in the pipeline I want! Approaching Storm continues to call my name... I don't think I'll feel too badly if I skip the quad, but I may have to break down on one or both of Aurora and Nebula. Narcissus is actually the thing I want the most at this point! And I'm the one who doesn't even like Cremesheen Glasses...

I think Faithfully Yours is a lot darker, judging from the swatches. If you can pull that off, Seasoned Plum should be no problem!

Indeed!

Ahh my birthday's the same day!! What a happy early birthday we shall have with MAC in our hands! LOL

I dont have Bust Out or Violetta or any other color like it so Seasoned Plum is soooo mine! Narcissus is gonna look awesome over it, yep yep

 

[Mac-Guy]

Looks like Too Chic b/p is coming with IA after all and not with DG.

hell yea it will! perfect combo

How close is Approaching Storm to Kittenish? The swatches of Approaching Storm reminds me of a more matte version of Kittenish.

 

[PixieDancer]

That's what I thought! Just the bloggers were confusing everyone because they were swatching it with DG. It was included from the beginning in the color story for IA. Glad for the confirmation because my OCD had me very upset about this! HeeHee Even though, now it's off my list. Still considering backing up HB from G&I.

These look nice! Especially Hyperion! That color is going to be HUGE this Spring! Thanks for the swatches!

Speaking of DG nail polishes...
Look at THIS article! She says she's used "nail polish as lipstick!" And her favorite thing from her collection is the quad!
Hmmmm, maybe need to reconsider the quad! But maybe NOT the nail polish as lipstick thing... Sounds poisonous. EEkk!

"Do you have a favorite item in the collection?
The Interior Life Eyeshadow Quad (pictured above). That I'm very happy with. Probably the only colors I really need for my eyes. If I put a lot of makeup on, I start looking very, very made up. Another thing is, makeup can be very aging. And I've tried to keep it so that it was more shading, and would just enhance various areas rather than this full mask."

Thanks for this article, Pixie. I'm not sure about the "using n/p as l/s part" (WTF?!), but I totally agree with Daphne that the quad is great for a natural contouring (or shading as she calls it). The colors are subtle, but with enough oompf. Love it!

I wonder how she takes them off?
