I'm loosely thinking about buying Moth Brown. Can I see some swatches on brown skin???

Here's Shellcat's swatch of Moth Brown.

Looks completely different IMO.

I just thought I'd put out there that a long time ago I had put some good swatches up of CoC lg. They are in the CoC swatch thread. post 22 if the link doesn't bring you right to it, it really is a pretty color

Doesn't seem to look like that now though.

you think they changed the formula? that would be such a shame we loved it when it came out with CoC originally. I am sad looking through that swatch thread, that was an amazing collection

Yay, power is back. I missed Specktra (and the A/C!)

Don't know if this has been shared but Karen has swatches up on her blog: http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/mac-makeup/the-mac-by-request-collection-nine-classic-shades-return-for-an-online-encore/#more-117226

Ughhh, I should've gotten Moxie and Rocker when I had the chance.... Damnnnn! Lol. I was worried about Rocker pulling brown, but I'm about the same skintone as her and it looks gorgeous on her. Moxie isn't too in your face as I thought it would be. It's definitely bright but with my skintone it would look more wearable than Candy Yum Yum. MAC, please restock! I'm definitely getting Moth Brown and possibly Jete when they become available.

Rocker is still available!

Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

You're welcome!

Ahhh, getting impatient! I think I want Bait and Flash of Flesh. I thought FoF was similar to blessedly rich but I compared Vampy Varnish's swatches and they're different enough for me to want both Bait looks so multi-shimmer-pretty!

Thank you! You just made up my mind

Thanks for finding that! I will swatch Hocus Pocus and MB tomorrow for Richelle. IMO they are nothing alike though. HP is such a deep, rich grey. MB is a taupey, grey with slight purple undertones.

Another question... how long do the l/g normally last like how long does it take to go through one?

It takes me about 6-8 months to go through one tube of my fav Lipglass with me reapplying twice a day everyday

 

[Jenrbelt]

Any idea which lipglass had the most votes?

 

[Shellcat]

Yes, I think it was Bait, CoC then FoF.

Any idea which lipglass had the most votes?

I agree. I also think - and I have stated this before - that their demographics are changing. I see a lot more young girls (15 - 21 years old) shopping at MAC; and not just a lippie or two, but half or even full collections. With this younger crowd, who has the time and technology to be on their smart phones 24/7 combined with a disposable "income" (however we might define the income of a 16 year old , MAC is building a new customer base whereas the more mature folks (30+) are wandering to high end brands as the price difference is not that big anymore. And it's far less stressful to shop Chanel & Co than MAC.

This is so very true! I've made the leap into Chanel & Co just within the past few weeks. Lol, never thought of myself as "mature."

I agree. I don't find HP and MB alike and as you've stated, MB does have the purple undertone that HP doesn't.

Bait -> CoC -> FoF

It's ok. Posted last page that I found Blushing Noir's post comparing the two! Moth Brown I will get

I'm glad I'm skipping the lg's. I have Send Me Sailing and am usually a ls girl. I need to wear my HS ones more tho. I might expand my collection of them if they release more opaque colors that I don't have. If I see this go live I'll let you gals know. I'm going to go for MB and Jete tho so will be doing this for reals again this weekend. Yay for the es's coming out after payday. Then it's full steam ahead into Style Seeker. I really want Hidden Treasure and to try out the Mattenes and Fluidlines.

Not sure, your swatches just seem more opaque and the new ones. Maybe I'm trying to find excuses lol.

Ugh!!! 12am ET and Nothing!!!!!!
