MAC Fashion Sets 2013 Collection (April 2013)

[Naughtyp]

Ooh la la I was able to get Embrace Me & Silly today. I really like them both on. Silly is my favorite.

I can't pick a favorite from this collection I had to have them all and I love each and every one more than the next lol.

Exactly. I had absolutely NO INTENTIONS on getting any e/s's from this collection and then I saw that pic that made me want Silly. The real reason I'm fussing though is because I'm now wanting ALL of the lipsticks and I really shouldn't.

I had to get all of them. I almost passed on ablaze it seemed more orange when I tried it on at Nordies. the one I purchased doesn't seem that orange tho so I'm glad I got it.

My makeup obsession, particularly my MAC obsession really kicked into high gear once I joined Specktra.  I suppose, though, that I wouldn't have it any other way.  

Me too! my biggest hauls ever and the np thread is the worst! for enabling anyways lol

They are all very pretty face brightening fun colors. I think they look good on everyone.

Maybe it was Nordies lighting. My Nordies has terrible lighting & colors always look different.

I just noticed Maybelline's Mirrored Plum gloss looks just like a lipstick I bought from Walgreens about 3 weeks ago called African Violet by Black Radiance.

[B7uemo0n]

Heroine makes my teeth look white! Strong woman makes them look not so white LOL

 

[hazyday]

I ordered the Silly and Ablaze eyeshadows, as well as the Silly lip pencil. Really excited for the lip pencil!

You know what I need to start doing? After I've purchased what I wanted from these collections, I need to then stay away from that particular collections thread. That way, I WON'T BE TEMPTED TO GET ANYMORE FROM THAT COLLECTION. AARGHH! LOL!

I agree, but then what if we miss out on a gem??? That's how I got heroine the first time around...

 

[internetchick]

SO psyched, just called my local counter and they still have Silly lipstick! I called about 2 minutes before closing, so I will be there when they open tomorrow.

I know. And maybe by me NOT leaving the thread, Silly e/s may just turn out to be a gem for me. I keep checking the threads though because I like to see what other people think about the items. It's so hard! LOL!

so is the lippie a heroine dupe? Also, what does it smell like?

The lippie has no scent. Imo, I think it's a bit more pink than Heroine. Check out this thread...

I might try High Def Cyan to see it it'll make it a bit more blue.

ETA:I just swatched Heroine and AV on my hand and it's a lot more pink than Heroine actually. AV is more fuschia.

Thanks copperhead.

so I got Silly, they were out of Redd, but as I was walking through the door, I wondered if I can dupe Silly with the pink in the shop/cook quad shop drop and the color 3 quad. I have to run back out, so we'll see.

So I got a 3rd Silly lipstick backup I know I won't be needing, and now I can't find Ablaze lipstick anywhere! All stores near me sold out of it. Anyone want to trade Silly lipstick for Ablaze lipstick?

I'm not sure but I think the pink in the shop/cook quad might be lighter than Silly.

I only got Ablaze l/s and l/g from this collection, knowing how I dislike true matte lipsticks. I applied the l/s and immediately knew that I would have to always wear it with a gloss. Applied the companion gloss and liked the look. I used an old brownish red Iman lip liner with it. I don't regret the purchase, it will especially be on point this summer.

I tried Embrace Me on and love the color so much! It doesn't show my fine lines. On the other hand silly and ablaze do show fine lines but I just have to work around that somehow because they colors are beautiful! I was thinking about buying the glosses but I don't Iike the tackiness of them. I'm NC 40 for reference.
