MAC Tres Cheek discussion

[jetjet]

Im wearing IF today - its sooo pretty and a dream to apply It's so good for pale skin, It felt strange to add more rather than furiously buff out

 

[Yazmin]

If I ask for a product to be held am I obligated to buy it? I do not want to hold MM then I check it in person and I'm like this does not work for me lol

Not at all! I always have my MUA hold products for me at my Pro store, and there's always at least a couple of items that I realize won't work out for me. If it doesn't work for you once you check it in person, don't worry, it'll still sell.

I can't wait to pick Peony Pink on Thursday omggggg~! So glad I reordered it! Kinda think it's funny that the two I had wanted (Peony Pink + Pink Tea) are the ones that haven't been sold out! Always going against the grain...!

 

[duckrodeo]

My orders both shipped and should be here Friday

they left the warehouse at the same time, so I think MAC just got overwhelmed on updating accounts!

I placed two orders with only fifteen minutes between them and both shipped today. I've done the same before and had the last ship first, so maybe they're just overwhelmed right now? I got MM from Nordstrom's and that hasn't shipped yet. Now I just need to choose a good neutral cremeblend brush to layer under these so they last longer.

I did a "pick up in store" option on Nordstrom for another Immortal Flower. The only BU I'm interested in! I can't wait to pair it with Melba!

 

[OhSoJaded]

So happy! I picked up IF, PC and FoJ today. Tried to buy MM (and all the other stuff on my list) directly from the Nordstrom counter, but was told that "it wasn't unavailable" until Thurs.

No problems. I'll just work around the system again! Going to place an order on the website for "backordered" items, but then choose store pickup.

 

[Rinstar]

Got my shipping confirmation! That's always a relief with sold out stuff. glad I was chilling at home last night!

 

[RayannaBanana]

Ugh, I'm not going to get my stuff until next week because of the long weekend!

 

[singer82]

Awesome, I see that others got thier shipping confirmations. Mine will be arriving on Thurs! Good job MAC!

 

[peachsuns]

OMG, they're beautiful! I want them all! I have to make sure I wake up early Thursday.
Thank you, elegant!

Maybe these were posted before, but I love the blush swatches & pics:

I should be sleeping, but instead here's my take on trying them all on today, and bringing a bag full of other blushes with me to compare.

FoJ: I wanted to like this, but honestly, Sakura MB looks almost the same on me, but nicer than FoJ - better texture, richer color. I actually skipped it.

Lovecloud: OK, this one looks almost exactly like Giggly MB. However, unlike FoJ, it's got a nicer texture and is much more buildable. Even though I have plenty of Giggly, I got this one, since if anything, I really don't like to take MBs around with me on the go, for fear I'll drop and break them. Lovecloud can come travel around in my purse just fine.

Immortal Flower: Another one that is VERY close to another blush - in this case, Mighty Aphrodite (the light half). IF is just a bit richer and more glowing of a color, plus it's so buildable and fuses so nicely with your skin. It's also a tiny touch less pink than MA, making it a bit more all year round, in my opinion. 'Had to get it.

Pink Tea: Not my cup of tea, to be honest. Applied sheerly, you could hardly see it, but then building it up turned it into a sort of average pink color that wasn't very special. My Subtle Breeze will do the same work, but better. Didn't get.

Peony Flower: So beautiful! Wasn't expecting to love this as much as I did. Perfect texture for a bright pink like this - goes on with total ease of application. MUCH nicer than FoJ, while still staying in the same cool family. Bought!

Modern Mandarin: Yep, most unique color of the collection. Looks divine on NC15. It's very similar to Marine Life, except it's softer and much easier to apply without going overboard. In fact, using MM along the cheekbone and then accentuating and intensifying the apples with a dab of Marine Life created a stunning effect - I'll be wearing the #$@#$$ out of this blush.

If you have to get only one, I'd say Modern Mandarin or Lovecloud, since they're both very versatile, can look soft and subtle or bright and cheerful or swanky nighttime, depending on how you apply it. Lovecloud's maybe a touch more springy, while MM is a little more of a year-round color. IF is the very close runner up and is very special, but will be more of a hassle to build up properly on darker skin tones.

Oh, one last thing! The new Skin Smoother....if you put some of any of these blushes on a 130, then dab it into the skin smoother and then apply, you get a ridiculously fabulous texture and color payoff similar to the Cremeblend blushes. It transforms these blushes into yet another great look, as if they needed even more versatility.

Thank you so much liba

I always love to read your reviews and thoughts!


Just yesterday I thought whether IM could be close to Mighty Aphrodite or not!Now I know that it is...thank you!
I love MA and can not wait to get IM.

wow...that is quite a tough task

Desperately trying to hang on for the mac launch!

 

[MrsB]

I ended up team four :shock: I acutally skipped FoJ as I have Sakura and hardly ever reach for it. Then I skipped MM as it just looked way too orange for me. I wanted to risk it but with my colouring I know I'd hardly ever wear it. It should arrive on Thursday, yay!:eyelove:

I agree. If I had to pick between PP and FoJ, I would pick the former one - the texture is simply divine.

Liba, you need to try PP with Play it Proper as a highlight = perfect combination!
