MAC Strength Collection Discussion (December 2012)

[MRV]

I love Ruffian too! It's the most unique of the bunch.

AP is also pretty unique because there's so much pink in it. So if you like your pink-reds it would be a nice lippie to have. The application was divine

Can you compare it with Moxie, Gesina and/or LG? I have those.

 

[Fiberluver]

Did they still have AP when you left?

Yes, I believe so. They got a lot in stock. You should give them a call. The MAC store @ Towson Mall, MD.

Strong Woman and friends. I'm probably NC10-15.

I have the majority of these purple lipsticks and still love seeing pics of them. Thank you BuickMackane!!!! I seriously need to get Airborne Unicorn next. Looks like my type of purple...as they all do. wink wink.

I haven't got Gesina. But I have the other two

Magnetism (Illamasqua) - Gigi (Guerlain) - Love Goddess - Absolute Power - Moxie - 19 Fuchsia (YSL) just to show that AP is still very much a red

I thought you bought it already. Inglot 281 is gorgeous too. I was going to get 282 as well but I skipped it thinking it was similar to Up The Amp. Now I'm not so sure. There's always room for more purples!

My thought exactly

I wasn't able to get Airborne Unicorn when I ordered Chinchilla/Poisonberry cause it was sold out. I'll probably buy it when their new stuff comes out. I have been searching high and low for Inglot #281 and #282. They had told me it would be avail online and in stores, but it isn't. I've gone to their stores in the city and they are either all sold out or just never got them in.
Online I haven't found them either. I may just forget Inglot and wait for another company to come out with the purple shades, MAC, CoverGirl, Maybelline, Revlon, WetnWild, etc. I agree with you. There is always room for more purples!!!

I have a feeling it will be repromoted at some point. Even made perm. Look what happened with CYY!

Firm Form, GF and some random greyish stuff:

Natural light (or what remains of it):



Firm Form - Grey Friday - Riveting - Chinchilla (Lime Crime) - Gris Chintz (old skool Lancome). The last two look like twins in the tube but they swatch totally differently.

They're not LE are they? If they are I'm going to have to start hunting for 282. I suspect they're sold out because they're new shades and Inglot's inventory management sucks.

Anyone seen Strong Woman on someone with NC15? I've only seen it once, and swatched on NC15 skin...

Yes, if you go back thru the threads here.

And a Shout Out to BuickMacKane for all the wonderful swatches!

 

[TXBeautyBaby]

Yes, I believe so. They got a lot in stock. You should give them a call. The MAC store @ Towson Mall, MD.

Thanks so much, that's actually not that from from me! I'll call today

Thanks so much for this info I called and they're holding Strong Woman and Party Parrot for me until Saturday morning. DC doesn't have a freestanding MAC store anymore smh.

 

[elegant-one]

It makes a great stain. But PaPa is definitely best with the elegant-one patented "dab and smoosh" manouever.
Yes, if you go back thru the threads here.

I bought a new GORGEOUS red lipstick. Bobbi Browns new Heart ls. Super gorgeous true red red that wears like crazy well. Made my lips look plump. It stayed for hours & did not come off on my coffee cup or glass. I put a pic & swatch of it in the Chanel spring thread if you want to see it.

Like ya'll need another red lipstick

My Pink Pigeon BU shipped today! Now, I can relax...

Seasoned Plum - Yung Rapunxel - Go For It - Kontrol (Illamasqua) - Goes and Goes - Plum Bright - Heroine - Strong Woman - Up The Amp - Airborne Unicorn (Lime Crime) - Play Time

Frickin' awesome! Such a parade of beauties!! I'm just about to faint at the sight of them all together.

I've got most of those - no Plum Bright, Heroine, or Up the Amp; not sorry about Plum Bright or Up the Amp; still missing Heroine. I'm between 15 & 20, neutral. Go For It is one of my basic everyday lipsticks. On the other hand, Strong Woman is one of the reddest lipsticks i own, so i'm a bit shy with it.
