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

I don't find them to be close at all IRL due to the beautiful sheen in SM. If you like Stars N Rockets you will like SM. It is a more amped up version.

I thought it was pretty close, especially color wise, maybe not quite as much iridescence as SM but still there is some. I figure, I can skip SM and get Plum Dessert. Saves me money in the end.

i put stuff in the cart, i take stuff out of the cart. i spin around in my chair, i have a bagel, rethink that spinning episode, then return to the cart nonsense. I'm thinking just superb and WOG, and some brown lipsticks as now i am on a brown kick.

maybe one more chair spin will get me to decide and check out.

Maybe it's just me, but in the promo pics on the site, I don't like looking at her fingernails - looks like she was digging in the dirt and its all around her nails.

Can't wait to get my goodies. I'm still deciding if I should get the $70 pink set. Anyone get it?

I preordered it. Princess Sarah got it. http://www.specktra.net/t/180904/lightbox/post/2291618/id/171768

....same here!!!

It's not so bad - you've not steered me wrong yet, and I now have lots of things that I love and would never have considered on my own

 

[Spanky]

OMG thank u so much for switching those for me, MACerette. I really appreciate it! Now that u swatched I'm doing ok- but just in MU land...IRL same old, same old. so tired of all this & then sun the worst feeling of just pure sadness washed over me. I was just insanely cuirous about what Lickable looks like since I now have a great love for bright pink lippies, not more than my reds, but right up there! I hope eveyone is enjoying their goodies. I'd love to start seeing some posts about everyone's favorite thing that they have gotten so far. Take care. S~

 

[mtrimier]

so. i am on the fence with dramatic encounter and thought i'd look for more swatches, and this pic was in the results.

i think it's a sign i should take it out of my cart. ROFL!

Still nothing on the Canada site?! Strange.

That is SOOOO funny because this whole time I was thinking the EXACT same thing! Then everyone was saying how great the image was and NOT mentioning THAT... so I thought maybe I was just being crazy! Thank you for thinking like me... convinces me I'm not COMPLETELY nuts... YET! HeeHee

YES! those nails look so dirty & nasty, I want to take a nail brush & scrub them! lol

 

[PixieDancer]

I'm SO jealous of everyone getting there black boxes TODAY! (I'm looking at YOU Shellcat! HeeHee) That's SO SUPER FAST! I only upgraded to 2nd day delivery and my order still says "Pending." WHY didn't I just do OVERNIGHT!? All the money I spend on these collections, you'd think I would just get over the extra $10 for shipping at this point! But NOOOooooOoooOoooo... I have to ONLY spend $5 (which is a VAST improvement over my initial Standard Shipping hauls)!! Why don't I learn!?

 

[Zazzle]

The Mac site has free shipping till end of December. HTH

Thanks. I forgot that the US site is offering free shipping on all orders. Unfortunately the Canadian site isn't, but I realised that I will have enough in my cart to hit the $65 threshold for free shipping.

 

[Odelia]

Yay! Canada can now haul!

 

[mtrimier]

I think I was quite well behaved. All I got was WOG, Superb, A Natural Flirt, Small Vanity and Easy Manner.

I think I'll go into a store to look at the kits and what not, though. for now, i'm satisfied.

 

[Audrey C]

Yup. I had already pre-ordered Stolen Moment, but I ordered Glamourdaze and Flight of Fancy through MAC. I haven't seen any lip swatches of FOF yet, but I like the skin swatches I've seen. I don't buy many l/g because I find that they go off before I can finish them (within 6 months), so this is the only one I've ordered since HC. I have nothing like it.

There's nothing on my radar screen now until Stereo Rose, and I'm unlikely to get that one since I don't stalk.

 

[emzy]

Does any one know why the Guilty Passions collection isn't on the MAC site? I can't wait to see some swatches

Edit: Sorry these have a different release date!

If that's the collection with the pigments and lipglass sets, those won't be released until Nov 8th.

ETA - oops, just noticed that you answered your own question!

 

[prettygirl]

OMG. All I wanted from this collection ORIGINALLY was WOG, Superb and OF. I added ETG n/p. And other crap from the website and my total went up to $180, and I added second day shipping. And giftwrapped my order... so it's like a present to myself! LOL. I deserve it!

I also hauled SV blush from this collection......

I was tempted to get a lipglass as well (Deliciously Demure) but I skipped for the same reason.
I'm still holding out on placing my order because Mystery eye pencil is still "COMING SOON". But I worry that waiting is risky...ugh. I wonder if I do a live chat later when Mystery is up if I can request a free shipping code for just the eye pencil. I can't afford to hit the $65 free shipping mark on a 2nd order lol.
MAC, why must you complicate everything?!

I love this. I always want to gift wrap things from them... but I never do. How exciting.

I'm trying to decide if I actually need a BU of SV. I love it so much that I feel like I do but I have so much on my list already. hmm.

Ah, you don't need a $65 order. Just a little sleuthing. I played around until I found a free shipping code. Try DAZE.
