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.

Love it-enjoy your goodies!

Yazmin, looks great!!

ok.......now I am not sure if anyone is familiar with this product to make a comparison. I have been using Laura Geller "Portofino" as a highlighter along my cheekbones and absolutely 100% adore it and the sheer champagne pale gold sheen. I am an NC15 (warm ivory in Bobbi Brown) and have the MSFs on my list. In fact I have 2 whisper of gilt in my preorder. Does anyone know how this compares?

One other site suggested Superb and I am frankly so darn confused. I want the sheer highlight and I think it is very flattering, diffusing eye crinkles and hyperpigmentation. I would love your opinion if you can share your experience.

thanks in advance!

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?

sorry but its not the same....I compared it when I was at the store. if anything OF looks like a pink up the amp....

 

[emzy]

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?

YES, in my opinion it is worth it, you won't regret it after!

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.

You are making me rethink my skip of the green piggy set. These are regular piggies, not crush metal piggies, right?
Anybody getting the mystery powder just for the compact? I wonder how well the powder itself performs, is it a setting powder and translucent or more like the flesh/skin toned BP or MSF? Inquiring minds want to know.

I had been trying to not think about getting any of the sets, but liba now has me reconsidering the smoky pigment set, which is the one my eyes went straight to. Shame it's just a cardboard box, though - I would have loved it to be in a tin. I had been wondering whether it contained any re-promotes or not

Anyone who has checked the MAC site on your phone notice that it doesn't have the link at the bottom for the full site anymore? It basically won't let me leave the mobile version. Honestly, I like their mobile site better than the average mobile site but it inhibits visiting the site map for stalking purposes. Trying to get Chrome on my iPhone to load the regular page (there's an option to request the desktop site) didn't work either. How weird. Are they trying to limit stalking on mobiles?

My wish list is shrinking... that late release date will be good for my wallet.

So, Easy Manner is not looking as peachy in swatches as I had hoped.

Can anyone tell me the best peach blush MAC has? I'm NW 20 and want it to look peachy on.

Thanks so much for your help.

Some of the colors look like we've seen them before, but based on the textures in this one, I don't think they're repromotes. There are one or two in the green set that have definitely been around before.

I went from 3 l/s to 1. I still cant make up my mind about the edes other than A Natural Flirt. I know I want Deliciously Demure and am now most likely to skip all the blushes. Smaller and smaller.....

 

[ChosenOne]

So I just did a live chat to see what story they would give me about the online release date, and I was told it goes up online on Monday. For those of you who don't have a calendar handy, that's the 22nd. Which is a different date than other people have been hearing. So the confusion continues. And when I asked if that was for both the regular site and Pro, I was told "I believe so. PRO usually launches several days before the regular site, but I don't see it launching today."

*sigh* And so I continue to stalk.

I still have the Beauty lipstick and the Stolen Moment EDES I was given by mistake. I'm trying to see if anyone is interested in them before I return them?

 

[OctoberViolet]

Monday is my birthday. I was hoping this collection would go up sooner. I'll be out all day Monday. I don't want to miss out. Augh! MAC. I'm still going to stalk the site. I just don't trust MAC.

I know this isn't the correct thread, but I was wondering if you got your Marilyn goodies from your mom and how do you like them? I don't recall seeing it mentioned in the Marilyn thread.

I just got a Glamour Daze invite in the mail!!!! SO excited! I think this is the first time I have ever been invited to something like this

 

[Dominique33]

I went to my M.A.C store today and picked up the 5 lipsticks. I will pick up a set and 2 nail polishes in 15 days. The sets are girly and pretty ( with a lovely packaging too ), the Glamour Daze collection is beautiful on the whole. Compared to Glitter and Ice, it's completely different but very nice too for Holiday, it's " l'esprit boudoir " in fact and I love it !
