MAC Year of the Snake Collection Discussion (February 2013)

[katelyn0]

This collection will be a skip for me with the lippies being perm shades.. Shell pearl BP would be nice but flatter me pearlmatte from Archie collection will suffice!

Good thing for my wallet as Archie has killed it enough lol

It really isn't glittery, just lots of beautiful miniscule shimmers. I really like SP, but I haven't used it in months... It's a lovely highlighter so I would say get it if you really want it, but if you have tons of highlighters I think you'll survive without SP.

I agree with Corally that it's not glittery, just nice shimmers. I also haven't used it in a while, but I'm glad I have it, although that could be due to the LOL packaging...

It's definitely not glittery. I've been using it lately (forgot I even had it!) and it actually shows up quite well on me. I'm quite light at the moment, NC/W15-ish I guess.

Can someone compare this BP to the flatter me pearl matte from the Archie's collection? Trying to pick one out. I'm hearing something about not for all over the face? Confused! Help!

It's now up on the UK website

I've decided I need Freckletone. The etched snake design is too cool and even though I don't normally go for peachy nudes I figure that since I'm quite yellow toned it may just be an HG for me. I think I'll go by the counter to swatch the perm one though. Anyone love freckletone?

Its a bit too orange to work for me as a nude, I prefer Siss, however, if you really want it due to snake design, my enabling self says get it and if it leans too orange, well, a lil pink gloss will take care of that!

I love freckletone! I have a lot of yellow in my undertone, but nudes can be difficult for me....this one has a decentt amount of peach and isn't too grey...

I agree. It's on of my favorite nudes from MAC. It doesn't lean too pink, yellow or grey -- it's just right!

 

[valkolak]

Thanks everyone for weighing in. I'm going for it

Food for thought: If you actually wanted to try any of these colors you'd be able to get them with a funky design and pretty box for the same price as perm products. I was going to skip, but now I may pick up Freckletone.

I asked this before, but didn't get a response. I thought I read on a thread here that there was a color called Freckle as well. Has anyone heard of this lipstick shade? It was supposed to be nude as well.

Yes, I am new to the whole MAC thing, so i don't have any of these products...and I love the patterns and packaging!!

Freckle? off to google..

Ah soo pretty.. and yet there's snakes, soo torn!! Shell pearl looks so lovely and dainty ..

 

[HoneyMilk]

I think I will get plumful here and then get shell pearl through Archie. I just love this packaging. They could've done so much more with this too....

 

[EmbalmerBabe]

Aztec brick sounds nice, however everything else is a skip for sure I'm not a fan of the snake motif at all...

 

[ChosenOne]

All right, I think just Shell Pearl for me. I know it's coming out in the Flatter Me pearlmatte with AG too, but I'm personally okay with skipping on the blush hearts and paying $5 less ($29 for FM, $24 for SP) to get basically the same product. If that makes less sense than I think it does, feel free to explain why I should switch over to the AG version. Otherwise, I'm getting the snakey version!

I want the Flatter Me part.

The BP was the only thing I was considering form this collection and I just realized that it is the base for AG Flatter Me is also Shell Pearl. I'd rather go with the Archie version and get three looks with cute packaging for only $5.00 more.
