[Deadly]

Can someone post a swatch of original(MAC Me Over collection) Oh, Oh, Oh l/s next to this new one in Archie's Girls? Favorably NC/W5-30. TIA

 

[GlitteryPanda]

Since seeing some of these swatches I've definitely lost some products on my WL, oh poo =( Looks like its 2 lipsticks, one blush, two glosses, and maybe a liner. Fudge nuggets.

 

[GlitteryPanda]

ugh I don't know why she needs to do that, I hate people like that sorry
I feel bad for people who work hard to show us new collections and get
no credit back but anyways maybe something to cheer you up




bahahaha so sad but true now for us all
made specially for you guys from me

Oh my god. Genius.

 

[KMQE716]

Wtf is wrong with people? Why can't she just credit the photo and link back? Then she could still use it and there would be no problem. And then the watermark to add insult to injury.

she's at it again???!?! wait how did i miss this??!

 

[KMQE716]

LOL now she deleted my comment and made her own saying "found out this is from specta"...can't even spell it right. *rolls eyes*

SHE KNEW THOSE PICS WERE FROM SPECKTRA WHEN SHE STOLE MINE!!! hmph

[KMQE716]

Yes, she stole my pics this time!!!

I'm sorry! she is just a stupidhead who thinks that by having the "new" stuff out and on her page that she is ahead of the game and she's not! i don't get what's the purpose to wanting to be the "first" to have something...if you want to be first go find the stuff and physically have it versus STEALING!

I hope she's mad and walks in a pile of dog poop and is madder. hmph. lol

 

[KMQE716]

Anyways on another note, Karen's blog is too cute! and finally some real swatches! List has altered a little bit, now we wait

 

[MacNcheese]

I really like the whole presentation that Karen did with the Comics, so creative!

 

[MacNcheese]

I think I just added DLG to my list.

I love Karen's blog....she really did a great job with her postings on this collection. Hasn't changed my mind much about skipping but I love that she put a lot into her pics swatches and story

 

[VampyCouture]

Still a skip for me! (I'm holding on for dear life though lol)

S/N: I freaking love Karen's blog. It's fresh, creative and fun! One of the first blogs I discovered. She is a top blogger

What is the big buzz on pigments? To me they don't really do anything. I feel like it'd look ashy on my skin tone, anyone have any shade pairing ideas? Can you mix it up with the Veronica quad?

n00b.

I personally like pigments because they provide an interesting color base to start putting shadows on top to make them more 'vivid'. I have lids that are just crazy oily so my combo of paint pot + pigment helps the eyeshadows stay on me for quite awhile. I really don't think these would look ashy on you at all

Just saw swatches are up so let me grab some coffee and settle in to look at 'da goodies' in action.

 

[MRV]

Karen makes me want more stuff! Which is not a good thing, but I'm glad to see all the products and swatches!

And she's a great blogger!

 

[EngineerBarbie]

Can I just say how much I LOVE Karen's reviews and swatches?

I've managed to refine my list a bit and got reinforcement I want nothing from the Betty collection. I thought about getting the black pearlglide pencil but I have Black Russian which is black w/ silver and I love it. The Black w/ gold just isn't me.

It's still all about the Veronica collection for me

1) Spoiled Rich Eye Quad -- Gonna give it a try. Last year's Wonder Woman eye palettes really turned me off w/ the awful quality. I'm a sucker for purples and while I'm in love with MUFE #92, I've also come to be very fond of e/s palettes.

2) Lipsticks - Yep, getting BS, DLG and RR. Ronnie Red looks so ridiculously blue red that i gotta have it. Strangely enough I have no blue red MAC lipsticks at all. Don't like MAC Red, Russian Red looks like crap on me and I loathe how Ruby Woo feels.

3) Lipglasses - I need all of 'em, especially Strawberry Malt.

4) Prom Princess blush -- it's pink and as such I must have it

5) Designer Purple and Petrol Blue eyeliners - I need backups and Petrol Blue is one of the sickest MAC eyeliners I own. My current Petrol Blue is a sorry-looking stub.

I'm skipping the Pearlmatte powder from this collection because I already have Play it Proper beauty powder and my Salsarose blush looks close enough to the Frankly Scarlet used in the compact. I was going to get both pigments but...I've got Cinderfella which is such a sick silver glittery black which blends amazingly with any color.

I was able to swatch the collection last night. Lipsticks

 

[Corally]

Karen really has outdone herself! Luckily for me my list is only getting shorter. Boyfriend Stealer lipstick - Deep Blackened Plum (Cremesheen) - if it's not the same as Dramatic Encounter Betty Bright lipstick - Light Vibrant Peach (Satin) - if it's not the same as Reel Sexy and not peachy-pink/pinky-peach Cream Soda blush - Light Neutral Coral (Satin) - this or Flatter Me Flatter me pmp - Golden peach base with coral hearts - this or Cream Soda My initial list consisted of 10 things so I'm happy I can skip/resist a lot. #feelsproud

Maybe I should try paint pot and pigment to help me to because my lids are oily as well.
