MAC Fashion Sets discussion

[duckrodeo]

Yayy I got my box tonight! So excited I had to swatch all my new lipsticks on my lips.

So far, I love Spice. It's definitely a MLBB shade for me. I compared it to Hug Me and HM is definitely glossier and more sheer (HM being a lustre, Spice being a satin), however they are pretty close to being in the same family. I find Spice to be better coverage for my lips.

Chestnut is totally in need of its lipliner counterpart! I put a layer of Viva Glam VI lipglass over it and the two of them together is gorgeous!

Razzledazzler looks pretty darn close to Reel Sexy on me, but it is sheer enough to allow my lip's pigmentation to shine through.

Now I'm contemplating if I should get Chestnut lipglass (might be fun to use to mix colors), another BU of Spice and mayyybe Razzledazzler lipglass.

Yay ! How are you liking them so far? And did you buy UTA !??

I am LOVING (almost) everything! Where to begin? Angel, GAT, Impassioned, and Pink Nouveau are among my favorite lipstick shades, so it's no surprise I

them in lipglass form too. Razzledazzler is simply beautiful! It does look a lot like Reel Sexy (which I love). Ravishing is really nice too, and I'm really glad I added that one to my cart. It's a nice everyday wearable color, not too orange. Please Me looks so pretty and so flattering. It's been on my wishlist for a while now, and it's about time I finally got it. Not sure about Snob though. I haven't tried it yet because I was looking at the l/s and l/g tubes, wondering what I was thinking. I'm afraid it would be too pale/too cool for my NC35 skintone.

I can't wait to get Spice (and Rebel) tomorrow.

I haven't bought UTA yet. It will have to wait because of the amount of lip products I got from this collection.

I guess the formula just works for you! MAC polish always chips on me very quickly even with Seche Vite, so I just know to avoid it even when the colors are tempting.

Me too. I can't stand their polish.

It's weird that everyone says they don't like MAC polish. I have 3 and they are all great, totally opaque with 2 coats. I actually ordered Snob, Impassioned, Spice, and Ravishing nail polishes so don't feel bad...LOL.

I have no problem with most Mac polishes...

 

[MACerette]

OT but I wore Runway Red this weekend for the first time and my BF said I looked like Joker.

Your BF is

. That is such a pretty red!

 

[Rezel]

I ordered Spice and Please Me l/s, Rebel and Impassioned l/g and Driven By Love PLW l/g instead of Russian Red because I wanted to try the PLW formula. Also got 2 lacquers, Myth and Please Me. I'm not having any problems with their polishes except for one that I got a long time ago. Maybe they changed their formulation? Wanted a few more but I had to stick to a budget.

So much for a collection I initially thought I'd skip...

 

[whitwhit86]

like so many, I fully intended to skip this collection... didn't happen. Ive been wanting morange, ravishing, peachstock, & impassioned for quite some time so I went ahead & bought them & their matching lipglasses. then I was like, razzledazzler is awesome so i need that lipstick & lipglass. then being totally in love with angel, please me, snob, saint Germaine, & pink nouveau I went ahead & bought the lipglasses since I already have the lipsticks. I also bought spice lipstick & lipglass cuz it was pretty on temptalia & I would like to try to pull it off. I'm still on the fence about rebel & GAT lipglasses. I never really wear the lipsticks although I think they're both gorgeous.

I love Razzledazzler! Now I don't feel bad that I missed out on Reel Sexy. Looks just like it, but not streaky.

Nail polishes work differently on everyone. Some polishes get tons of love from a lot of people, but chip in seconds on me. Other problem polishes, like Chanel, last for a few days on me. For me, MAC polishes are a streaky, quickly chipping mess. I bought Bad Fairy, but that is the last one I'll be buying from MAC. Essie and China Glaze work much better for me.

aww.. My b.f said the same thing to me before,lol. So did my mom . I'm determine to wear them though,maybe I can try to sheer it out or use some other techniques. Guess ,we have sexy anjolina Jolie lips. =p

A lot of people said Razzledazzler looked like Reel Sexy so I decided to skip it. I HATED Reel Sexy until I did that lip combo... now I LOVE it! hehe I'm going to order Impassioned l/s and l/g and Peachstock l/s and l/g once the Hey Sailor collection pops up on PRO.... I'm only getting 3 items from that collection though LOL.

I have Snob (I'm NW43) and I can't wear it straight out of the tube. I usually pair it with NYX Purple Rain lip liner (pink lips with purple liner is amazing) or MAC's Embrace Me lip liner. Embrace Me was LE but I think they're repromoting it with a collection... I can't remember which one though -___-

A lot of gals who are NC or NW 35 can pull off soooo many colors. Because they're in the middle ... they're not too fair but not too tanned. So don't be afraid of Snob!

Thanks again! I finally tried Snob, and it actually looks okay on me.

No regrets about that purchase. I have Embrace Me, so I'm gonna try that combo!

 

[tismama]

I received my second order! I love, love, love Chestnut l/g. It really is brown, but has super strong red undertones. It's not a lip color for the shy but if you aren't scared to rock a strong lip you should really take a look at it. On me, it didn't remind me of Mary J Blige in the 90's, but I can see that if you're lighter than me it might channel that feeling. However it is gorgeous and while I probably won't be wearing a whole lot of it during the spring and summer it will be in heavy rotation in the fall. It pretty much goes with anything and if you do a light application, it can be neutral.

Also got GAT l/g. It's great. It's not too hot pink on me which I was glad since I have about 4 other hot pink lip glosses. The closest color I have to compare to it was Full Speed Ahead (Pro longwear). Since we all know the pro longwears can take some time to apply this is a nice welcome to have a apply and go in the same color. It's a touch darker than FSA but not much.

BEE you are tempting me with the Spice. I think I'll actually stop by my counter tomorrow to see if I can pull it off.

Chestnut is the stand-out product in this collection. It's such a statement lip, both as l/g and l/s.

I was looking at Chestnut....I'm a lil nervous though.

You can certainly pull it off.
