MAC Après Chic Collection Discussion (December 2012)

Not sure if it'd work for you, but I found that using a stippling brush (my favorite of the moment is by Real Techniques) to apply my blush. I notice my blush has more staying power this way.


Obsessed with that brush!!

Do you use it with powder blushes, though? I've only used it with creams/liquids.

I'm in desperate need of some swatches from this collection, Strength or even taste temptations....

Oh yes!! I can't wait to see the swatches!!

So far, I've only used it with powder blushes. It's great for light application of my super pigmented blushes, and great for building color on less pigmented shades. I even bought a backup of this brush, I love it that much!

My list for right now is completely contingent on swatches. I'm kind of excited about this collection, but MAC has been on serious overload and I'm getting a little burnt out. (I say this now lol, but we'll see once these collex start releasing.) Things in italics are what I'm super iffy on, which is basically everything xD

Second that! I looked at the stippling brushes from E.L.F. and Sonia Kashuk as well as the 130 and nothing compares to the RT stippling brush. I feel like it's way more densely packed and less flimsy-feeling than the others I've looked at. Definitely getting a back-up with ULTA's 20% off ^__^

I want Après Chic now! January is too far away

I am glad we have until then to save up, because this collection is going to be a big haul and I need to save up. (saving in December is impossible for me)

You're right, I'm just so impatient :haha:

 

[ChosenOne]

I am My wallet is so scared to see the promo pics for this collection...

 

[tats]

Did you get Naturally in November last year or was it in January?

I'm curious to see if this collection will launch earlier in Europe too...

I think it was January time, definitely not November..))

 

[Merula]

I can't wait for more swatches, definitely looking forward to the lipsticks and tinted lipbalms. With the weather changing I will need them,

 

[gracie90]

I've managed to stay away from this thread, but curiosity got the best of me...
Goddammit. Time to make a list

Yep! I already have Stereo Rose though, so that's something at least! And I only want 1 or 2 of the MES. I'm more excited about the lipbalms, especially the gold and plum ones! And the brush of course

 

[gracie90]

Ok, so this is the list of everything that I mayyy be interested in, but I've bolded what I'm "definitely" getting:

Warm Companion l/s
Hot Chocolate l/s (I love the name so much!)
Rich Experience e/l
Amber Glow MB
Slightly Nude MTLB
Nice and Simple MTLB
Rosy Romance MTLB
Silver Birch MES
Fireside MES
Winter Pursuit MES
287 brush

5 things isn't too bad right??

 

[EOTD-Fanny]

I´ve got three things on my list so far:

I will definitely buy Stereo Rose!
It will be my first MSF.

Après Chic l/s sounds gorgeous,
and Cozy Up l/s sounds interesting
because it´s matte.

 

[ALivingDoll]

Is the pricing info available for this yet?

 

[Paisly]

I might as well make my list too!


Après Chic l/s
Haute Altitude l/s
Pure & Tender MTLB
Slightly Nude MTLB
Nice & Simple MTLB
Porcelain Pink MSF (maybe)
Stereo Rose MSF
Amber Glow MB


Hopefully the tinted lip balm's are more pigmented than the recent releases.

 

[nikki1387]

might be a dumb request but would those of you with stereo rose show us swatches? id love to see it on different skintones

 

[Audrey C]

I'm interested in Stereo Rose as long as it isn't too shimmery. T's last review of it said that it wasn't and doesn't emphasize pores. If that's true and I do get a chance to buy it, I will. If it's gone in a heartbeat (and it probably will be), so be it.

 

[Elianessss]

Ill probably only get the skin finishes, I'm interested in après chic BUT I dont really like bold shiny lipcolor, I prefer mattes or satins

Here you go! It looks way prettier in real life though. I'm about nc20 btw.
