3N and Runaway Red on temptalia.com:

Thanks for the link

Runaway Red looks more like the Shop/Cook version, which I already have. Had it been closer to the original I might have considered it.

re: 3N - I honestly can't see what the fuss is about. It doesn't strike me as anything special. Or maybe it's one of those lippies one has to see in person to appreciate

Yay! I'm chuffed to bits that I'm skipping a MAC collection!

I'm returning my powder. I'm very disappointed. It's 100% cardboard.

In the immortal words of Bathgate, "Nah, f**kt that"

I didn't realize T has reviews on the products. Thanks for the links.
So the lipsticks do contain more product then the regular ones?

Can someone who bought one confirm?

Do her readers lack reading comprehension skills? She explained the value of the brushes alone to be minimally $92 w/o considering inflation, specialty packaging, nor the case yet a quarter of the comments are balking at the $100 price tag.

I wouldn't have the patience to run a blog of that magnitude.

It makes me glad that I belong to the community here where everyone is so understanding and nice

Guess the only thing I might walk away with from this collection is the mystery powder. That's a big 'if' at this point.

 

[kimibos]

im thinking about the brushes, they are a good deal. but then the cheap me tells me i can get more from strength or apres chic. oh and all my brushes wont be the same. im building my mac and nars collection in slow motion.

i agree one should respect what others like and never call the products trash, garbage or in any other bad language.

 

[duckrodeo]

I'm definitely getting the brush set. It's perty and I've been meaning to get a powder brush for a while :-D

 

[elegant-one]

I want those brushes too

 

[MissTT]

T's cost analysis is actually making me want to get the brushes now since it's essentially just regular price, but the good girl in me is saying wait until CCO since I actually just want the 136. Although another person says that will be in about 9 months. Do you realize that is in August/September???

 

[jenntoz]

I want those brushes too

me too

Went to the pro store today and they said NOPE to any pre-orders for this collection. Oh well!! guess i wasnt meant to have 3N....but i think it might be too light anyways. Maybe i will get pure zen instead since T said it was a lil darker and pinker . and half the price!! lol
we will see if i show up early next week to try n get it tho! lol

Same here, Pure Zen seems more wearable to me. I don't understand the buzz around 3N, I don't think it does anything for T's lips

 

[martiangurll]

Love the rose gold ferrule but not the faux leather. I could see me getting over that and snapping the brush set up at the CCO discount price, however.

Do any one have video of these items ?
