MAC Strength Collection Discussion (December 2012)

[kimibos]

thanks for the swatches and info!
the lipsticks look absolutely beautiful! glad i already have pink pigeon and party parrot, so the damage can be somewhat smaller.

i'm not sure which of the two quads to get. i can only get one but i usually have a hard time basing my decisions on the colour descriptions...i'm hoping these won't be the hot ticket items anyway, so i'll have time to decide!
that red definitely looks awesome!

you're welcome aradhana! same here no damage from those 2. i think i may skip the balms now to get the quads. i cant stop thinking about them. i dont have a lot of mac shadows from the permanent line, so getting the quads would be

.

WOOOOOOOHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THANKYOU THANKYOU FOR SWATCHES!!!!!!! So list is staying the same with all the lippys and blushes from this collection!

Again, thanks for the great photos, Kimibos!!

Strong Woman looks more in line with Zen Rose than Heroine. This is not a bad thing!

Would I like more blue purple lippies? Sure! I'm sure we'll see one eventually - stock up when it happens, though!

WOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad to finally see swatches!!! Thankyou Thankyou

I am no longer excited those colors don't jump out at me

Its the lighting. Trust me.

 

[Elianessss]

I'm not sure if I should get strong women or get another seductive intent

I am the same, I would love a really Blue Lippy, I love blue based reds and pinks and a cooler purple would be awesome to get my hands on, until then I will keep loving Heroine, Violetta and Strong Women once that comes in

WOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad to finally see swatches!!! Thankyou Thankyou

you are going to luv firm form, strong woman, the blushes, everything

changed my mind again now I want them lol

if you like variety, might be nice to have one strong woman, one seductive intent since the formula will be different?

 

[ladyarwen]

Mmmm, those lippies are something else. Can't wait to get my hands on them! I'm not amused about the Apres Chic balms being $19.50 though, so those will be skipped. (I have several Jack Black balms anyway.)

I posted on instagram and the person that posted the picture confirmed that they are not MAC. I repeat, these are NOT Mac!

I was really excited when I saw this collections colour story first come out, and had all the lippys except Party Parrot (already have it and used up all my pink pigeon so time for number 2 now) and both blushes on my list... first time in a long time that my list has stayed the same on a collection

you are going to luv firm form, strong woman, the blushes, everything

I thought they might be the new Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids? (link)

 

[ChosenOne]

So far my list has not changed for this collection. Strong Woman and maybe Firm Form. Not complaining about the small haul this time around.

 

[OctoberViolet]

Tx for the info lovesongx! I would buy from any brand that has beautiful colors & products. I own some Maybelline lippies and they are amazing. If that purple is part of it. I'll be picking it up.

I would think with the lovely mattene formula, if they are really dupes, unless the finish is spectacular on Strong Woman, I'd get two Seductive Intent lippies. Then again, why not one of each and have different formulae to work with depending on the finish you want??? The neonish looking red pink has sparked my interest where it wasn't there before...hmmmm

I'm thinking if I should just back up Seductive Intent or get Strong Woman? I absolutely love the mattene formula but I also like mattes as well. If the colors are too similar then maybe getting Strong Woman would be a better value since mattene's come with less product compared to the regular lipstick. What to do?

 

[ChosenOne]

I'd definitely love to see side-by-side swatches of Strong Woman and Seductive Intent. I'll probably wait to make any solid decisions until after that!

Do you ladies know when this is suppose to hit the MAC website? I have been calling my closest local MAC for days to preorder. No one EVER answers the phone.

 

[OctoberViolet]

I believe on December 26th, but I am praying it will be online much earlier. I would love to have my makeup in time for Christmas. Maybe it will be online around the 19th of December instead. Fingers crossed.
