Are there any (BB) dupes for wholesome or midnight snack by any chance?

Chocolate BB was similar to Wholesome (not as matte)
I have one fairly similar to Midnight Snack, I think it is called Charcoal or maybe Graphite, but I can swatch them tonight to see. I love the BB gel eyeliners ALMOST as much as MAC fluidlines.

I've never tried BB gel liners, but the BB fine liner brush is my HG brush. Worth every penny.

Regarding the Call Me Bubbles quad - I didn't purchase it cuz I already had Brash and the other colours seemed similar to things I have in my stash (and I couldn't afford all 3 quads LOL), but I often wear colours like the coral one (don't know the name) just above the crease, rather than doing a look with the darkened crease. I do that kind of look with Early Bird, and also witth Saffron. Saffron I wear with the 'nude' shades in the Mickey Contractor quad (the medium on the lid and the lightest above saffron). I find it really opens up the eyes (think Barbie) - but black or brown eyeliner is kinda key, cuz the red/pink tones risk throwing tthe look into addict territory.

Yes. These are gorgeous combos. MC is one of my favorite quads (closely followed by Leopard Luxe and CMB) as these colors are so flattering on blue eyes. I do like Early Bird too, but I prefer Saffron or Indie Spirit (or at least combine EB with S and IS).

I wouldn't mind another MC collaboration in the near future.

Or maybe MAC will do a repromote!!

I can't even make up my mind which was my favorite fluidline from this collection. I love Wholesome so much more than Blacktrack, it's not even funny and Midnight Snack is incredibly flattering for my eyes - makes the whites look whiter and brings out the violet and grey color shift in my irises. I backed them all up, but I'll probably be scraping out the pots on Wholesome first.

was there a dupe for wholesome?

BB's Black Ink isn't an exact dupe for Wholesome, but I'll swatch both when I get home tonightas now I'm curious.

Here is a comparison between MAC and Bobbi Brown. When swatched, Black Ink is matte, while Wholesome has a sheen, but when it dries down, the finish looks similar.

agree! i love all the neutrals from that collection. i found it very classy...i still wish i had bought sur. i still can't figure out what i was thinking when i passed it up!

i find the athma quad works very well for me too, though my eyes are brown. even the lustre shades really work...i find they wear very well throughout the day. not that they stay pristine -- they kinda looked 'lived in' by the end of day, but it just looks like the natural sheen of skin...

[PRESIDENTslim]

Sold them. ~sniff. Didn't think I'd used them. Or I could dupe them.

There definitely needs to be a MC2 Collex.

Did any of you get/like Naughty Sautee?

That was the only one I thought "P.U." about

Just dupeable and also tacky for my taste.

the color added one is still available at the mac website.

I have naughty sauté and I love the colour. However, somehow it is not so wearable. I think due to its shine it looks a bit tacky indeed. I keep trying though. It is one of the very few colours I haven't really worn out. I still like it enough to keep it no matter what.
