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

[ChosenOne]

So I have a feeling this collection is not going to pop up until Sun or Mon (or possibly not even until the announced online release date of Tue), but I can't bring myself to stop stalking. I feel like if I skip a night of refreshing the site every half hour, I'll miss it. I have a disease...

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

LOL!!

I got back from my MAC Pro store just a little while ago. I was surprised that they did create a few testers after they said it wasn't going to happen. For most of what I was buying, they hadn't made testers. I was going to get all of the fluidlines, but in the end only got Feminine Edge. It looked like someone had swatched my Divine Blue since my sneak peek Sunday night, and it was their last one, so I didn't get that one either. Evening Grey was pretty, but I didn't want it bad enough.







Anyway...whew - that was brutal!

How brutal you ask?

My wallet just went into Witness Protection.

Major delays for Australia with this hitting stores! Not until the end of November for GD but apparently sets go first week of November

who knows, changes so much for us I cant keep up

 

[ForeverJenn]

still nothing,


seriously.. ..

...

I'm calling it a night.

quick question, is this collection expected to sell out as quickly as M.M?

All I want to get online are the two highlighters and outrageously fun l.s.. i wonder if that's worth losing sleep?

It's here http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/142/17354/Products/Bags/ProTravel/Carry-All-MAC/index.tmpl on the MAC web site

gotcha! Thanks!

I also like the fact that I can wear whatever makeup I want, even if I'm having a fat day and feel all gross! It's a great confidence booster, and also a lot of fun

Absolutely. Also even if I am wearing sweats I feel I like more dressed up with makeup on.

 

[Michelemu21]

I sadly missed out on everything I wanted from the MM collection, so I have been looking everyday at the website hoping not to miss out on Glamourdaze and maybe a lipglass or two. I am still really disappointed I missed out on MM.

It sucks so many people were disappointed.

 

[Mac-Guy]

I'm going to be really bummed out if this doesn't released on Pro until the 23rd. If it's going to be that late, I feel like I may as well just go to the closest store and buy it the morning of the 25th. I really wanted to place my order sooner than that though. Guess I'll be calling in the morning to see if they're taking pre-orders.

Let us know what you find out.

I tried Little Black Bow Fluidline. It applies with no issues, which is good. Comparing Little Black Bow and Catch My Eye in the pots they look kind of similar. The good news is that they're not. Little Black Bow is a dark gray. Catch My Eye is a silver taupe. The color differences are also visible on the eyes. I applied one color on each eye to make sure. I've decided I don't need BUs of any of the Glamour Daze Fluidlines. I do like the colors and will use them, but I won't reach for them enough to warrant BUs. The dazzle pearl/glitter texture isn't something I'll wear often. Little Black Bow  - Catch My Eye - Feminine Edge Round two with Feminine Edge. It still applies clumpy. I'm not sure if its clumpy texture comes across in the pics. I used my NARS Smudge Proof Eye Shadow Base as a primer on one eye and it did help some. The application of Feminine Edge seemed more controlled with the primer, but still a little clumpy. I'm going to wait for more feedback about Feminine Edge from others before returning it. Now, here's something I would like to know from all of you makeup pros out there. Am I possibly missing the point of Feminine Edge? Is it supposed to be clumpy on purpose? I did notice that the clumpy texture almost seems to make it look more glittery. I'm not sure if this is the intended effect that falls under some sort of makeup trend, or if it's simply a mess.

Little Black Bow is awesome! Thanks for the swatches my dear

 

[singer82]

Yup, They sure are. I checked the lippies & blushes today as well. The PRO ones were there. There's even a link now so you don't have to dig around to locate the product you want.

Yay! Now I can finally get Show Orchid l/s! Actually... Do you all think I should get it instead of Outrageously Fun? Or are they different to get both?

Lovely, lovely haul. I'd love to know how you like Feminine Edge. That's the only fluidline that I was interested in but it has gotten mixed reviews. I hope you enjoy everything!

I saw all the crushed metal pigment and lipgloss sets today!

The boxes are simple and just cardboard, but very cute. Not anywhere near as swanky as the various eye and lip sets in the padded boxes.

The green pigment set: The pale green is the same as we've seen before in Butterfly Party and Surf the Ocean, which is OK more or less, since it's a really nice highlight color that's a bit more interesting than a neutral, without looking overdone. The white is the same type of texture - I don't have this one in another set, but it's quite possible it's come out before. MEANWHILE, that deep bottle green is gorgeous! Beautiful color with a texture like the usual smoother crushed metals - not sheer at all. Then there is the MEGA-gorgeous brown with green duochrome. It's like blue green pigment or Club, but so much nicer - so soft and with a really pretty warm base color. These two make the whole set super worth it, in my opinion.

Originally, I was only interested in the green pigment set, but the soft smokey one, with the pink, purple and soft neutrals, is surprisingly nice. First off, the pink is just incredible - pink with purple duochrome. Amazing. Then, strangely enough, the medium brown made my jaw drop. It looked like an older CMP color, but the texture is brand new to the CMPs - it's just so amazingly wet look - even smoother and wetter than the Pressed Pigments. Wow! The deep purple is a duochrome too - with deep purple as the base and a lighter blue highlight - doesn't remotely need to be wet to bring out the colors. I was trying to restrain myself, but I think I'll be getting this set along with the green one - it's actually got more beautiful pigments in it than the green one, if you don't like the CMPs that are very sheer with the glitter pieces.

I didn't try out the all neutral one - I'm sure it's nice, but it's too plain for my tastes.

The pink/purple lip gloss set is very cute - Boys Go Crazy dg, Color Saturation csg - you can't fail with these. The pink csg is very soft and pretty and not milky, it's got a very subtle lavender cast. It's almost like a pink version of Narcissus. The dg creme is also very soft and pretty, without heavy glitter - a nice soft nude.

The brown gloss set was a bit samey between the various colors and the coral set had a lot of cute colors, but colors we've seen a million times already in gloss, so you'd have to be quite a dedicated coral gloss person to feel like this is a must have, imo.

Went to my Pro Store today and played around with all the stuff. I went and pre-ordered a bunch at Nordstroms but I think I might go back to MAC tomorrow and pick up WOG (as a BU), Superb, and a lipstick.

Still unsure about Outrageously Fun. Thoughts? Is it too pink on me? And I paired it with the Impossibly Sweet lipglass... way to much glitter for me. I do like OF after I've blotted it down and its not AS bright. Oh and I also have WOG and Small Vanity on in this pic.

I am late to the discussion, but it looks beautiful on you! Very wearable, IMO, and compliments your coloring very nicely.

On a side note, your pic makes me want Small Vanity. As if the 15+ blushes I already bought this year are not enough for me to use.
