MAC Taste Temptations Collection (November 2012; December 2012)

[Naughtyp]

I can't believe this comes out in a week we have no swatches yet!!

Same here I don't care too much about this line although that blush is kinda calling my name since I have nothing like it, but I'm also like I'm not too much of a lavender fan so this line might be a skip, crossing fingers it is cuz lord knows I don't need anymore stuff

I should just wear Full of Joy more often.

 

[MACina]

Thank you so much for your review Debbs!!!

I am so excited for this collection!

I have swatches on my hands but not able to take a pic at this time

 

[ALivingDoll]

Aww you are so sweet hwdsprincess. Thanks! It's truly a blessing to be a mommy to such a precious gift.

Katred, Kimibos, & Michelemu21...thank you so much! My poor little guy has had perfect attendance 2 months in a row...that's great for a 5 year old! lol. I'd leave him home to rest for the weekend but he really misses school. I just hope this lasts throughout the rest of his years in school!

I'm glad your little one is feeling better. My son never missed a day of school for 6 years. When he had chicknpox in kindergarten it was during Christmas break. Then a few years later everyone was coming down with the flu and so many students were absent that they closed school on a Wednesday and to return the following Monday. My son came down with that Thursday.

I do wish you luck that he will continue to love school and do well. My son did continue to love going to school but not for the right reasons. To him every day was a social event and he was the host. His antics got him a one way ticket to detention several times. Hopefully your son will enjoy school without feeling the need to entertain everyone within a 50 mile radius.

it's not fair MAC

I know...

I'm afraid this collection will not come to Europe...

Has this been confirmed?

Excellent review, thank you!

I'm so disappointed about the mauve lippie. I wanted all the mattenes and the lilac blush but perhaps I should go with the two bright ones (the lilac blush stays, obviously

)

Do you find the magenta blush to be similar to any other MAC blushes? TIA.

 

[BuickMackane]

kinda off topic but does anyone remember an ancient Lancome Colour Gloss Lipstick called Gris Chintz? I think it was 1999 or 2000 when I bought it (showing my age lol) and funnily enough it still hasn't assumed the smell and consistency of toxic waste. It's a greyed lavender, and definitely not mauve (*cough* MAC *cough*). strange that a brand like Lancome released such an edgy shade back then (well, i thought it was edgy).

ah, memories...

Has this been confirmed?

Yes, I did a chat with Mac UK last week.

Money saved then. I'm sure I could've gotten a CP, but at least I won't be tempted to order anything here if we don't get it.

Ah well. Thanks for the info!

Every once in a while Lancome come out with an interesting shade. They put so many perservatives in their lippies they could probably survive a nuclear blast then nuclear winter, but I love them. Interesting, in my stash I have a Dior color called Mauve Fictif which is a greyed lavender, no idea if they make it still. Also, they have Flash Nior, which should be black but is actually a lovely blue toned violet. I think the French companies were a little more fashion forward in the late 90s early 2000.

Back OT, I think I like 2 of the mattenes. If the blued pink is said to be a CYY dupe, I may get all 3. I like the look of the quad, but I am stuck on not buying another quad w/Carbon in it. I recently acquired Pandamonium eyes which contains Violet Trance, the most awesomeest blue toned violet shadow I own and I think it smokes this quad. But, if the shades aren't totally chalky, I will probly cave and get it because its a purple quad dang it.

I missed that ChosenOne but thanks for the comment. I'm trying my hardest to avoid purchasing products that are close enough in color. Mac has made a ton of lipsticks described as "mid tone blue pink" so i'm pretty sure there must be some dupes out there for NB. Question is do i have any dupes for it? haha!

My dilemma exactly! I love love love bright pinks, so I almost always buy them. I probably have about a dozen different bright/bold pinks in my stash as we speak. If NB is unique among them, I'll want it, but we would have to see swatches first to determine that. Of course I'm expecting NB to be one of the first things to sell out from this collection, so if I wait for swatches, it might be too late... stop putting this pressure on us, MAC!!

 

[MACina]

I agree....Violet Trance is stunning!!!

Pandamonium Eyes is a gorgeous quad anyway

Oh boo! I had not heard of Pandamonium Eye Quad before. I just googled it and now I need to have it. Those violets are to die for! I can't find it on their website. I'm hoping they will repromote sometime soon.

I remember Mauve Fictif! The other one doesn't ring a bell.

It's not just French companies that were more fashion forward back then. Helena Rubinstein had a lippie called Secret Silver which was a metallic, erm, silver. Quite dark, but not dark enough to be gunmetal. There was also a gloss which I think was called Black Magic. I tossed the lippie a few years ago because it had turned into a health hazard but I still have the gloss. I haven't visited it in a very long time, so I don't know if it's still alive.

Ah yes, back on topic - I soooo wanted Nocturnal Instincts to be a greyed lavender and not your bog standard mauve

re: 211 brush - this is permanent, right? For some reason I can't find it on MAC's NL website but it's available at Douglas

Sorry if I missed this BUT......

While I super duper appreciate Mac-Guy keeping these threads updated and going, why hasn't the "Current and Upcoming Collections" section been updated? You know, the part above all of the threads? There is stuff there from JULY! It's driving me nuts

 

[OctoberViolet]

I second that! I miss when these boards were updated more frequently.
