MAC for Marilyn

Hmm. My excitement for this collection and MAC in general is cooling lately. If Deeply Adored actually looks the way it does in that In Style feature, then I will probably get it, but I'm annoyed about the price increase. Granted, that might be worth it for the new matte formula and if I thought the packaging were really well done I wouldn't mind, but as it is....well,

I see an inglot haul in the near future.

M.A.C has some really gorgeous products though ( not everything I agree ), lipsticks esp the bright and intense ones are good, to me it's better than MUFE ( pigments ) and here it's not so expensive as most luxury brands. The only thing that annoys me : too many collections, some are ok and some are in very poor taste ( Beth Ditto for example ), 4 big collections and permanent ones would be better than several a month, personally I don't even know what's going on except for Carine Roitfeld and Marilyn Collections.
Inglot is a brand I would like to have here and really very much but it's not available in France. OCC well they ship internationally I love their Vegan values ( not available in France ).

A Macy's MAC counter manager told me Oct. 4th was the release date on this collection, if there's still confusion.

I love Marilyn and I love this collection. I could care less about the packaging. Most of my eyeshadows from special packaging got depotted anyway. Probably going to skip the shadows in this collection though. They are all dupeable as she wore very basic neutral shadows. Love the lippies though and BP and PC blush......Why can't September come sooner so I can pre-order!!!!??????

I'm planning on stalking the site around Septemebr 21st because I don't trust MAC. They know this collection will sell out fast. They might try to pull a fast one on me, but I'll beat them to the punch.

My MA said that they were going to let in people 15 minutes before the store opened (we just have a counter) so I told her to give me a call so I can be one of the few to pick my goodies out before they're gone. I'm only going to get lipstics, most likely Love Goddess and Deeply Adored. Can't wait!

At this point I think I'm gonna check out this collex with my sister because she has a new beauty blog: www.presstoblend.com and is on the hunt for new products but I'll be back on my no buy until after the holiday season.

I don't buy from the holiday or couture collections and to me nothing interesting comes out until the end of December, January.

I'd love to see swatches of the Beauty Powder, but I doubt that we will before this gets launched. I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of the collections that gets posted on the regular site right on the heels of the Pro launch. At least I hope it is - otherwise there will be very little left once the procard eBayers gorge.

I've never tried a beauty powder but a sheer peach flush is hard to go wrong with on lightish warm toned skin.

I think it will trend bananas like Tahitian Sand. I will likely purchase 2 without even seeing a single swatch or IRL.

Think I'll take it easy on this one. My job cut my hours. Or I'll charge it and go on a buying rampage to make myself feel better lol. Plus I want like 5-6 things from the Illamasqua Generation Q collection. It looks amazing! :eyelove:

I know the beauty powder might go fast but I'm not sure I'm too interested in it. The blushes look nice but swatches can help me decide if I have similar colors. So far I'm sticking with LG l/s and an eye shadow. I really wanna see some swatches, too, esp. since we don't have a counter here.

I agree about the Generation Q collection by Illamasqua. I really want to get my hands on the Empower e/s quad. This I think is the most wearable collection they've brought out to date. Even the unwearable ones I make work on me though! This pigmentation of their products is to die for! Plus, I just think that are an amazing company that does amazing things. I've never even been to Australia but I made sure to vote to get a fair beauty price there as it is ridiculous what some countries do to jack up the prices! I really like their S.O.P.H.I.E products as well and the proceeds go to such a great cause.
