MAC Strength Collection Discussion (December 2012)

[tats]

Does anyone know if Europe will get this collection?? You got me worried here..
Firm Form lipstick sounds amazing but I just feel I will never wear it.

If this is correct, I am really not happy as well. I missed out on IA too because of how it was released (I can't be online every day, and only late at night most days I can be on). I already know I can't be online the 26th. There isn't a MAC store anywhere near me, unless I was to drive about 5 hours each way to the nearest one. No way that's gonna happen.

So... I guess I may be missing out on Party Parrot and Pink Pigeon yet again.

I did a swatch comparison with Party Parrot and Pink Pigeon with some recent released lipsticks


Scarlett Ibis, Love Goddess, Moxie, Party Parrot, Pink Pigeon, Candy Yum Yum and Nicki 1

Party Parrot and Pink Pigeon are mine!

 

[Anneri]

Yes, only on the MAC site and in stores, no counters.

No worries, if you don't want a CP from overseas, just give me a shout - I still think my store is the best! (At least it's possible to get LE items relatively late after release.)

 

[Teggy]

Eee! I think this is the first collection in months that I've been excited for. Not just one product as a maybe, but several items. My wish list:

Strong Woman – Bright violet (Matte)
Absolute Power – Rich red (Matte)
Firm Form – Gilded black with gold pearlized pigments (Matte)

All Woman Eye Shadow quad (and I'm not that into Mac shadows much)

Taupe Shape – Satiny taupe
Poised – Muted pinkish brown

Thank you!

the answer to this question should be obvious and yet I am confused.. this collection as well as Apres Chic both come out the 26th of December? If so is that the official release date in stores, or is that the online launch date?

Seconded!

 

[Iariae]

I'm getting at least 2 of each lipstick, except for the black one. Missed out on Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot, and I don't think I can pull off the black the new mattes are my favourite formula and I can't wait for December! Thanks for the info!

I think i want it all, but of course I dont need it all. DO my lips know the difference btwn Party Parrot and IMpassioned? Probably not.

Mine do. I love Party Parrot and it makes such a great stain. But don't listen to me, I am shamelessly enabling.

 

[MACerette]

I agree this is a good dupe, but I like the MAC matte (new and improve formula) slightly better
The mauve/grey Inner Strength one sounds similar to Interior Life, not that it will stop me from hoarding.
This means Team Insomnia gets no sleep or bribes to the SA to hold...and more like Iris A all over again.

Which colour would be similar to Nars Schiap?

Nars Schiap is a very good dupe for Pink Pigeon.

Is it weird that I'm excited to see the red? I've already given my temporary list to the lovely Purplerinne. So far I want all the lipsticks, both quads and both blushes. I might add BU's of the lippies, but I'm not sure. Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot will both be a second BU already. I have Heroine + BU, so if Strong Woman is very close I probably won't need a BU of that either. I won't wear the black often enough to justify a BU and I've already gotten a ton of red lipsticks including BU's, so I should already say no to one Absolute Power but I'm afraid I can't...
