MAC Strength Collection Discussion (December 2012)

[admmgz]

Small world indeed! Look me up if you need a make up shopping buddy.

For sure!! I spend most of my mall time shopping for makeup lol My 11 year old daughter & 16 year old sister don't like shopping with me when new collections come out but I normally drag them along to keep me in check (OCD). Maybe we could hit up a CCO sometime too since I still haven't visited one yet. Btw, I didn't have my face on the other day b/c I'd only planned to go to MAC for PiPi & go back home (I'm on vacation at the moment). I don't always look a mess..

There's also NYX Black Berry if you want to try to make it look black.

I have that liner! I will try that! I'm also going to pick up NYX Y2K. I have been looking for a Nightmoth dupe.

Is anybody getting the n/p?

The dark brown one is really cool! I didn't get it because oh my lord, I spent waaaaaay more than I should have. I'm still in sticker shock.

I can't think of a similar color from the cheaper brands off the top of my head, so I'm still thinking about it, but it'll probably be an impulse buy.

O

All woman quad and swatch on nc20 (no base)  

Omg!! Now I want this quad too! Thx for the pic and swatches

IT'S HERE!!!

Will Macy's be selling this collection?

No. Mac stores only and online.

Is anybody getting the n/p?

No. I don't do nude or neutral nails.

I had put a pink pigeon on hold and I went straight to the register

You have a twin out there - a glamorous twin!!

If you ever want something you think might be hard to get, let's keep in touch. I'm friends with the folks there, in and out of the store, and they hook me up, god bless 'em! A couple of the MAs there are extremely experienced on an entertainment industry level and will do an incredible job if you want to get your face done perfectly for a special occasion, too. Really great people. Just throw me a PM.

All woman quad swatch on nc20 with a primer

 

[erine1881]

Quad swatches are on the way... Are there any other swatches that anyone would like? General swatches? Comparison swatches?

 

[Monsy]

Quad swatches are on the way...

can't wait to see inner strength!

I was actually thinking about the brown one, heheh

All woman on the left, inner strength in the right Heather belles was the only one that was a bit dry when swatching, but that's on bare skin with a qtip. It'll be perfectly fine when used on the eye over other shadows for blending.

 

[Monidoll4u]

one of my favorite lipstick of this collection is Absolute Power (with REDD lip liner) and I normally don't wear red.......

 

[Monsy]

erine how do you feel about inner strength when it comes to pigment? worse than all woman or not? i usually don't like satin finish
and do i need both?

I definitely gonna get these...thanks for the swatch pic..

I got my lippies just now! I'm gonna wear Firm Form to work tomorrow. I'll be sure to take a picture.

It had a really good formula - one coat and done, with a nice gentle gloss to the finish.

Shame about the price increases on MAC polish, but at least they're stepping up the quality. China Glaze has REALLY been improving the sophistication of their colors lately (the Safari collection had many amazing shades, in particular), and their formulas are always excellent, so the competition is hot on MAC's heels.

My beautiful black box was at my doorstep when I got home. Yipee!!!
