MAC Strength Collection Discussion (December 2012)

[Medgal07]

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.

....and you have lots of company here! I missed out on Party Parrot so I NEED that along with Absolute Power...preliminarily of course. I'm sure the list will grow per usual. There are a few other repromotes/permanent items, including the brushes & lip pencils that I already have & can skip. But I'm a huge sucker for lipstick & blush. Here we go again.

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

lol i see i will have to stay out of this thread if i want to budget!

Nice try Prettypackages.  Start compiling your list  :happydance: [/quote ypu are horrible! lol

I love the promo image!

Women have all kinds of different bodies. This kind of imagery is one of the reasons that I hesitate to stop buying from MAC even when they pull one over on us.

I actually might get the quad from this! I haven't purchased a MAC quad in ages!

Okay, I'm a bit confused.

This is MAC only? Does this mean Europe likely won't get it?

I'm having a mental freak out because those blushes NEED to be mine.

I'd like possibly some other stuff, but the blushes atm are absolutely necessity. Though I would prefer swatches first. Argh!

only mac online and stores are going to have it. not counters in department stores, here. its probably the same in the uk. where did you get your iris apfel stuff??

I like the sounds of All Woman quad. This may be all for me.

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 was getting excited for these too! i was at my counter bright and early on IA day, and whoooops, nope, only at the store, you miss out. i'm getting kind of turned off by this. then my (favorite) counter will be just a ghost town??? i think they were saying apres chic was mac exclusive as well...

I'm just going to pick up Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot. I skipped Pink Pigeon last time, and I would like to get a BU of Party Parrot. SUCH a beautiful shade! I need to wear it more!

I missed out on IA completely. I don't mind it being MAC only here just so long as it definitely comes out here. I can't miss those blushes. I'm hoping one of them will be a perfect contour shade for me as I can't find another Strada anywhere, so I also kind of hope it'll be released in the US first for definite so I can check swatches so if I need to buy 2 of 1, I can.

I really want this collection to be out here too, those lipsticks.. and blushes.. To be honest I don't see why they won't release it over here.. more money for them in the end..))

That's true, I'm sure they may but I'm still nervous as we didn't get Ruffian which was MAC only, wasn't it?
