Flatter Me PM over Prom Princess. Don't you just love the pearly sheen?! I loooove it!

Like I said yesterday, if you haven't got it, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! Lol.

For reference I am Matchmaster 7.5 / Bobbi Brown Walnut 7.5/ MAC NC50 (as suggested by others)/ DiorSkin Nude Mocha 6.0

Any suggestions on a lip liner for boyfriend stealer l/s? Also, am I they only one who likes girl next door l/s from this collection? I am around NC20 and it looks great for a blue based pink and I love the milkiness of it. I think I still need to get cream soda blush and I will be done with this collection..)

Oh no girl, you're not alone! it's actually my fav thing that I got. Beauty was such a wreck on me, so GND is everything I was hoping it would be.

Not exactly sure, but if I recall right, it's been saying that for about a week or so?..

oh that's a long time. I remember with the chen man collection it just restocked a few days later during the afternoon

This collection isn't getting released in Australia til 4 March. And I know it will be at the MAC counters in DJs, for any other Aussies waiting on this collection.

While I was at my local MAC counter I asked if they had Candy Yum Yum - the girl had never even heard of it. I told her it was one of the most popular lippies ever, and had just been made permanent (and I know it was released in the perm collection here in Jan). I am soo sick of the way the girls at MAC have absolutely no clue about upcoming collections - you'd think if they are really into MAC makeup then they'd be keeping up to date with things on the internet. And Australian retailers wonder why so many Aussies buy online from overseas - less than half the price, bigger range, and better service.

Hi everyone! I'm new to posting here on specktra, although I have been lurking throughout some mac collections for thoughts and swatches on products. My haul for this was more than I expected it to be and here I am still eyeing certain things that I first thought I could absolutely pass on. I'm wanting Lucky in Love &Veronica's Blush. I have a question about Veronica's Blush for anyone who might be able to help. Can anyone compare it to Blonde MSF? I know the formulation is definitely different. But, what about the color? I've been really bummed I missed out on Blonde and loved it on other people. Now that I'm seeing Veronica's Blush, it seems like a really nice pearly pink and I'm wondering if it might be able to somewhat fill that gap in my collection. What do you ladies think?

KrystalAnne So glad you've decided to join the chat. This might be a tad late, and someone might have responded to your question about Blonde MSF vs Veronica's Blush. I did swatch them for you in spite of the different formula of the products, as you noted. MSF Blonde has a gradient appearance, light to slightly darker, left to right horizontally. I swatched across the entire surface of MSF Blonde & swirled in an arc, Veronica's Blush for comparison. MSF-B packed a bigger punch in terms of color and sheen. VB was slightly lighter in hue w/less sheen, making it more desirable as an over-all beauty powder, unless you choose to use the individual hearts as a blush. I don't think VB will necessarily fulfill the function of MSF-B.

I managed to snag some goodies today. I got Prom Princess blush & Strawberry Malt l/g which I love very much. No go on Ronnie Red & I swear I called every MAC store in NYC. I'll just keep stalking the website for the restock.

Michelle79. I hope you're able to get RR. I think it will look amazing on you. So far it's my fav of the collection. Good luck!!!

 

[Medgal07]

MissBeautyBunni, you are a beauty!!! Absolutely adore the look!

Wore BB today with vino lip liner. My fave combo at the moment.

 

[Medgal07]

ENJOY!!

You look so pretty. I love your color choices! I was tempted when I saw Prom Princess on you here but I have Feeling Fresh, and I purchased Estee Lauders, Tease two months ago...definitely feeling some product overload, so I'll be working on some of the items that I already have. ENJOY your AG items!!!

 

[MACerette]

I completely agree! I'm working in paediatrics at the moment, and I saw a baby the other day wearing turquoise e/s

She was only about 6 months old!!! I got so freaked out!

Why would anybody put make up on a baby? Are those parents sniffing glue or what?

 

[Beautybuyer]

This has probably been asked but what liner are you ladies using for boyfriend stealer? I figured I just try it with nightmoth for a vampy color but any other ideas?

Ronnie Red... LOVE

 

[emzy]

Does anyone know if cheers my dear similar to the pink crushed pigment from the tenderly warm set in the guilty passionspassions collection? TIA. Tempted to get both betty pigments since I got both veronicas

 

[Anitacska]

Would someone be able to swatch Absolute Power and Ronnie Red side by side please? If possible, someone with fair or medium skintone. Thanks! I bought AP because it looked pinker in T's swatches, but then I swatched RR in Selfridges on Sunday and it seemed so pink. I didn't have time to swatch AP as well, so would appreciate it if someone could help me. Do I need RR as well as AP?

I finally got a chance to use my Caramel Sundae quad. I am also wearing Betty Bright and Cream Soda.

I love the makeup but honestly what I am envious of the most are those gorgeous ombre highlights on the ends! It looks fabuLOUS

 

[Sass]

DLG is neon-like and semi-bright...I like it. I was expecting a color like Spitfire for some reason. *shrugz*

These appear to be the same to me--I'm assuming you mean the one that was called "Cheers my Dear' in the little charm set?

 

[MACJunkie85]

I'm wearing DLG today! I like it!

 

[ARmakeupjunkie]

So far, I have only used Magenta liner with Boyfriend Stealer. I don't want the lipstick to be more vampy so I don't plan to use anything darker than that.
