MAC Holiday 2012 Glamour Daze / Fabulousness / Guilty Passions Collection Discussion

[PeachTwist]

I don't know whether to get whisper of gilt or superb skinfinish, any recommendations for nc20??

From swatches I saw previously I think I'm probably gonna go with Whisper of Guilt over Superb.

 

[MRV]

I was thinking about the sets last night and here are my options:

- the duo fibre brush set
- the coral mini blush set (needs more info!) OR the green palette
- the green crush set OR the purple mini glosses

I was also browsing the net for some older products and ordered Baby, it's cold & Woodsmoke e/s duo from G&I. I got it for less than the regular duo price here, so it was a deal. Plus, I always wanted to get this duo, but the price for the e/s set is proportionally too much I think (over 70 USD here), just forgot to check it out before yesterday.

My list for Glamourdaze is still long

but at least I have some coupons that give me 20% off of 100 Euros

....this is such a beautiful e/s duo!!!

I am sure that you are going to love it!

I did even get a BU because I love it so much....both e/s do have a lovely texture and the colors are gorgeous.

thank you so much!
i should also bookmark yuki's blog!

i think those eyeshadow palettes are soooo cute, but the fact that i have at least one shade in each palette already is so disappointing.
i was thinking i'd be better off getting one of the palettes with the powders or blushes since someone said the insert can come out to use as a clutch. i guess those mini blush ones must be only at the mac stores? i didn't see them in the book when i went to the counter last week....

i don't know if this info is already out there, but in the palette with the darker looking powder - it's bronze bronzing powder, and one of the shadows is shadowy lady. the others i didn't recognize their names, but i'm not sure if they're new (i.e. could have been LE repromotes from some earlier point in time).

If this release turns out like the Marilyn release, I will be done with Mac for good! Marilyn I can Understand, but not making enough product as A consistent practice, I can't understand! There should Be at least enough product to cover release day!

 

[MACina]

Yes,unfortunatly there are several repromotes/perm shades in these palettes (3 in each one).

I noticed this for the first time last year.The palettes from G&I did also include several repromotes/perm shades.
The palettes from previous collections (Tartan Tale,MMM,Red She Said...) had a lot of new shades and maybe only one
repromote/perm shade.

Last year there were a ton too.

I am worried because the Pro store and the counter I buy from both got small quantities again.

 

[lsdptl]

So far I think I have it narrowed down to

Whisper of Guilt and/or Superb
Ready to Party

Maybes:

Beauty - I love my fun finds so I might pick this up as well
Stylish Merry - have to think about this, looks beautiful but I tend to wear more neutrals
A Natural Flirt - have to see if this is dupable

 

[MACina]

Yes,as I already said,I noticed this "trend" the first time last year.

I hope that this is not the "new trend" and that we will see more news shades in palettes in the future (again).

OT:I am still so much in love with the palettes from Graphic Garden collection!
Especially the Graphic Garden palette is so beautiful

Last year there were a ton too.

 

[Rinstar]

So forgive me for asking, as I'm sure this has been discussed, is this coming out in two parts like last year? With the color collection on Oct 25 and the sets later? If so, when are the sets coming out? I must have the purple gloss set! Sorry to ask when I know it's been mentioned, I haven't been around much lately and I feel out of the loop!

 

[Audrey C]

If anyone is planning on going back to get the original EDES, it looks like their days are numbered on the regular MAC site. The Canadian site now has six of them in the goodbyes section. I bought Rich Core a couple of weeks ago and I'm glad I did. I can now skip the smaller version that's a similar shade.

I wanted the Fresh Cut palette too earlier, but stopped buying older MAC at some point.

Hi Rinstar! Based from my pre-sale order, the color collection will be released October 25th and the sets will be released on November 7th (for Nordstrom at least).

My Pro store manager said they wouldn't have collection sets till the 25th but they would have the individuals the week before.

Oh no... I was trying to avoid the sets, but I just had a look at them plus swatches and they're so adorable and now I want everything
I definitely want one of the gloss sets and e/s palettes!

Me too. I was avoiding sets but I was looking at swatches again and now I'm changing my mind. I think I'm gonna have cut some things so I don't go wy over budget. Ha.

I want 2 of the e/s palettes but I'm only going to get them depending on price. I made a deal with my Mom that I'd buy them and give them to her and not open them and they can be an xmas present and she'd just re-imburse me the cost (I'm not risking her stalking skills) but if they're too expensive I'm skipping - I'd feel so guilty asking for such a high price when I have 2 younger brothers who are more important at Xmas.

Does Innocence l/s have any shimmer?

Exactly! Some of the sets always end up at my local CCO, so I may just get the ones I like the best and chance the others!
