MAC Strength Collection Discussion (December 2012)

[katred]

According to the info liba posted earlier there is also a 5th lippie. You sure you don't want to add that as well, I know I do

Hm... I... am... sure... I... can... resist...

 

[kimibos]

Magnum lippies!

 

[Baby1black]

I really hope they release this collection early cause I like that black gold lippie

This collection has me pumped!! maybe its the name 'strength' that has me ready to pump lipstick iron

Im not even going to pretend, matte lipsticks no matter what the colours = mine! I cant resist a matte lipstick at all, I prefer these to mattenes

black lipstick too = mine

Do we know the finish on the black?

 

[Naughtyp]

does anyone know if those are the mineral lipsticks from après chic?

if only quick sizzle would be part of these upcoming collections.. *wishful thinking*

 

[MACina]

....I looooove QS!!!

And I would not be suprised if it was repromoted on day.

I am assuming (and wishfully thinking) that Quick Sizzle will be one of their faster repromotes. That was my very first bright lipstick, and I love it and want a BU badly!

Buying it and forcing myself to brave the brightness

and try it really opened up a whole new world to me in terms of lipsticks.

My list so far:
2 Pink Pigeon
1 Party Parrot (I googled images and it looks a similar to Force of Love which I own)
1 Strong Woman (depends on swatches)

I should have joined Lipstick Anonymous years ago. Before I had to face the fact that I have an entire dresser drawer for my lipsticks... I think I might be beyond hope and, yes, I am still seriously thinking that I need all four of the lipsticks from this collection: Pink Pigeon, Party Parrot, Strong Woman and Firm Form. Clearly, I need help.

Seems like solid decision making to me. Then again, I prolly need Lipstick Anonymous too. I could never use all I have, even if I had 50 more sets of lips.

 

[ForeverJenn]

I adore Q.S, it's the perfect color!

i'm definitely getting party parrot. i was considering paying $50 for it on evil bay, but i took so long to decide that it got sold. lol. maybe strong woman as well depending on the swatches. but i love purple, i'll probably succumb to it anyway.

 

[MACerette]

I got Party Parrot when it was out with the IA collection, but I skipped Pink Pigeon since I felt it could be duped. Don't really remember which color I thought it was close to though. Any thoughts?

NARS Schiap.

 

[Eleentje]

I don't think anyone actually says that phrase in the movie. The main character actually DOES those things. (I've not seen the movie, but I've seen enough commercials for it to know that he does indeed punch a baby.)

Indeed, and smacks Uggie, the dog that starred in The Artist I laughed quite a lot, watching that film. I didn't have high expectations when I went to see it, but it was all good silly fun!

NARS Schiap.

I've heard so much about that color but never tried it. Do you prefer one over the other, Schiap or Pink Pigeon? Or are they so exactly the same, it doesn't matter? TIA!

I think if u have the new candy yum yum which is not as neon as the older version then u do not need pink pigeon cause they do look the same when swatched. On the hand if u do not have any candy yum Yuma then get pink pigeon. If u are looking for the neon part get occ lip tar in nylon.

I actually do have the new CYY (and yes, I was upset to see it was not as neon as the original). Thanks for the advice! I feel safe skipping PP now.

I think you can still get qucik sizzle on ACW.com. I haven't checked in a while though.

Oh my sweet sweet Stoker. My little goth heart just skipped a beat over Firm Form.

On my lips they look exactly the same. I prefer Pink Pigeon, probably mostly because of the scent. Nars lipsticks somehow smell less good to me. I posted swatch comparisons of Pink Pigeon, Schiap, Quick Sizzle and Carthage (Nars) in the shop shop shop thread. I added them here below. In the pictures there seems a small difference in PP and Schiap. IRL they are twins on my lips (and on my hand too). Perhaps Pink Pigeon is the teeniest more matte. Otherwise I wouldn't know any difference between the two.


Pink Pigeon, Schiap, Quick Sizzle.

I got Candy Yum Yum the other day and it is definately brighter on me than Pink Pigeon.
