MAC for Marilyn

[gorjess678]

for some reason I can't access the "sale" forum, so maybe someone here can help - I'm looking for powders & blushes from the wonder woman collection and lazy day lipstick. If you can help, please PM me! Hopefully I can access that section soon!

seems legit.. plus if you go through paypal and it ends up being fake, you can dispute it and get your money back.

Alternatively, you can wait for Pink Pigeon to be released in a repromotion by MAC, at a reasonable price and authenticity. You'll know what you're getting---and it won't be YOU being taken advantage of.

Very Pretty AND

Hey guys,

I've been stalking this site a a lot, but just created an account to tell you I found pretty good dupes for Deeply Adored and Love Goddess!
So for everyone who missed out those you can check them out! The brand is called "Catrice" and we have it in every Drugstore here in Germany, but I don't know about other countries, sorry. They are 3,99 €.
Here are the photos I took for my blog:


Top: MAC "Love Goddess"
Bottom: Catrice "Pink Me Up!"
The finish is glossier, but the colour is the exact same!


left to right: Catrice Holly Rose Wood (aktuelle LE), MAC Mattene Deliciously Forbidden (LE), p2 Dragon Fruit (LE), MAC Love Goddess (LE), Catrice Pink Me Up!, Flormar L12


Top: MAC Deeply Adored
Bottom: Catrice "Red Butler"
They are both matte, the colour is the exact same.


Alverde Bordeaux (LE), p2 Rue de Rivoli, Kiko 22, MAC Deeply Adored (LE), MAC Mattene Unknown Pleasures (LE), Catrice Red Butler (LE)

Unfortunatly Red Butler is in a limited edition, but it is a current one here. Pink me up is in the permanent collection.
I swatched those four on my hand's here:

Hope I could help! Sorry if I made any mistakes, I'm better in reading in english than writing

I would call the Mac's Canada customer service number. I randomly called today because I had skipped Pure Zen, and then decided I had wanted it. Sure enough they had PZ, Scarlet Ibis and Deeply Adorned in stock. Along with both blushes, glosses, and some others. The rep said they had gotten a shipment in today. It won't be available online, over the phone only. Iv'e gotten tons of products this way. I never go based on the site anymore, I always call. Only thing is there is a flat rate shipping cost of $7.50 for up to 10 items. I called right as they were closing (5pm ET time) So i'd definitely try first thing tomorrow.

Ask for free shipping if you order more than $50 worth of merchandise. I did and they put it through as an override. Doesn't hurt to ask.
Yay Brooklyn! Clears throat...sorry...had to give that shout-out!

Wow. This person has sold 133 items and still has 152 available. How in the heck did they get soooooo many items?

WOW! MAC should be looking into this. seriously, what the flying f*ck?!?!?!?!?!?!?

With all this talk about the "magical" qualities of the BP, I wanted to look at what some of the ingredients were. I was just curious if there were unique ingredients that might explain the overall positive reviews of the Marilyn BP.

Some of the ingredients confirm what everyone has been raving about with this powder. There is an ingredient in it that prevents the powder from settling in fine lines/wrinkles, which would give that soft focus or airbrushed looked everyone keeps mentioning.

Also, there was an ingredient in it that gives a pearlescent or sheen type finish, so that would answer why so many keep talking about the "glow" that the BP gives.

There are also a lot of skin conditioning ingredients, ingredients that absorb oil, and ingredients that make the powder feel silky soft.

So, I just thought I would share what I found. I found it interesting since it confirms what everyone is talking about with this Marilyn BP.

Do you mind listing the ingredients that contribute to the Beauty Powder's magic?

I definitely have to give that a try next time. It sure doesn't hurt to ask. And yes... Brooklyn

LOL. Are you from Brooklyn by any chance?

 

[duckrodeo]

That's seriously insane. I want to know where they got so many items from. Should we let MAC know?

Hi, ladies, can I ask you a silly question? Is there a huge difference between Charmed I'm Sure and Deeply Adored?

I was searching EVERYWHERE in London and Fantasy Fire was sold out at every single store. I got sick while I was there and walked into a random boots and BAM there it was. I snagged it so fast I almost forgot about my medicine lol

LMK if you still need it I believe someone on a nail group has some for sale.
Mind boggling. They HAVE to be an employee I just don't see how else they could have gotten so much stock.

That is terrible.

I really want to get the BP now. When I played around at the store last week I decided to skip it but ow that y'all are talking about it I want it. If anyone wants to sell one let me know.

 

[mommylovesMAC78]

Does anyone know how the dark secret mystery powder compares to the FM BP?

Do you mean the Sheer Mystery Powder?

I'm glad you finally got your package! Enjoy your lippies!

The german MAC site screwed up BIG this time. With all Marilyn and also By Request orders, and also because of giving out false info multiple times. But the biggest problem is apparently they haven't shipped out anything yet, meaning nobodys' MM or BR order, they're pending for one week now! Some already got cancelled, but nobody has any idea what's going on really. I'm just glad I went with my gut feeling and already got The Perfect Cheek somewhere else, I had a funny feeling about this order from the start.

It's ridiculous that they treat customers like this. I this if this was UK MAC and this pissed me off so much I would just stop buying from them, even if I would get nothing from any collection, it's not the end of the world in the end. Anyways, I hope they'll sort the mess and you will get the order!!!

.....YAY,I am so glad that you finally got your lipsticks!!!

My mom received my Marilyn package this evening!

I'm so f'ing happy. FINALLY!!!! I have to wait to see her on Saturday when we go out for my brother's birthday celebration. I can hardly wait to get my lippies. Tx everyone for your words of encouragement and patience.

Im sTill so bummed I missed out on this Collection. I've been waiting for months for this 1 ,was up till 2am the night/day it went online ,and barely missed it by an hr when it went up at 6-7am. I went to my local mac counter right when it opened ,and already had a huge line with 1st 4 people getting almost everything.. Also been going through an awful separation,I was hoping to get this to cheer me up, but I guess it's just not meant to be with this collection. Guess I better look into my search for a new place/new life with my Lil one. Xo
