MAC Strength Collection Discussion (December 2012)

[GlamQueen21]

My pro store started selling Strength and Apres Chic today, so I ordered this:

Taupe Shape blush
Absolute Power lipstick
Party Parrot lipstick (yyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!)
Lasting Sensation lipliner
Rich Experience prolongwear eyeliner
Mountain Air prolongwear eyeliner
Snow Shadow prolongwear eyeliner
Viva Glam Nicki lipstick (can you believe I never tried it?)
Candy Yum Yum lipstick (oh oh sunny d and rum, YUM YUM)

Now I feel bad, I really shouldn't have spent so much, the shipping would have been free if I ordered online! I should receive it tomorrow.

Don't feel bad! That is awesome that you ordered your goodies and getting them tomorrow! Cannot wait to see your swatches!

All swatches are two swipes.

Seductive Intent. Heroine. Strong Woman
.

Firm Form. Absolute Power. Pink Pigeon. Strong Woman. Party Parrot.





Firm Form is actually wearable on it's own for those into dark lippies. It's not that intense as one would think. It's not inky,oily slick black. You have to build it up to get it super dark. I'm thinking of backing it up and pairing it with Black Swan liner (have to double check if it's lip safe). The only lippie I BU'ed was Strong Woman. I maayyyy check out Apres Chic tomorrow. This collection totally over took my mind and I forgot all about that one.

Okay, so everything here is beautiful and WILL BE IN MY LIFE. /dramatic flair

Absolute Power (1), Firm Form (1), Party Parrot (2), Pink Pigeon (1), Strong Woman (2) -- that's my final answer. *cue Millionaire music*

I wish this would launch already! This code popped up when I googled Mac: "Shop Now - Gift Wrap & Overnight Shipping Is On Us! Use Code: SPEED" Not sure when it expires, but probably tomorrow.

Thanks for the lovely swatches Slimmycakes!

I must say that it gets harder and harder for me to skip Absolute Power and Strong Woman lol

Must. Stay. Strong.

This reminds me why I love Pink Pigeon!

I have a feeling that the collection will pop up after the code expires. Eeek.

 

[Corally]

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't like the lipsticks. :meh: I'm going for taupe shape and probably poised but I need frickin' swatches.:fuse:

 

[BuickMackane]

Thank you so much for the wonderful swatches Slimmycakes!

 

[littlelamb]

Same here. Otherwise it would just be too good.

 

[purplerinne]

If I have Dish it Up and hardly use it do i NEED Strong Woman?

 

[kimibos]

I have a feeling that the collection will pop up after the code expires. Eeek.

yes i was about to say that. there's also a 2DAY code that expires tomorrow

they never give good codes when collections are coming out, just when evryhting is sold out.

 

[jennyap]

Great swatches. Now I think I need Strong Woman - hadn't even really considered it up to now. Party Parrot is still a possibility too.

 

[GlamQueen21]

I have a feeling that the collection will pop up after the code expires. Eeek.

Same here! MAC has yet to have a free overnight shipping code after 2DAY code expires.

I didn't order Pink Pigeon since I already have Nars Schiap! I can't believe I was able to resist. lol

Oops! Yeah, I meant to say Party Parrot. Party Parrot is what you are going to love! It is gorgeous!

Not to enable, but YES you do!

 

[GlamQueen21]

I'm thinking of backing up Party Parrot l/s and Pink Pigeon l/s!

 

[0missjones]

Is Party Parrot like Impassioned?
