MAC Punk Couture Collection (December 26, 2013)

Swatches!!!! http://www.makeupstash.com/2013/10/sneak-peek-at-mac-punk-couture-and-mac-magnetic-nude.html

Wow! Love these swatches. I think Studded Kiss looks freaking beautiful here. I only own 4 reds, 5 if you count Rocker. Absolute Power is the only slightly pinkish reds I own. So I don't mind if it has some pinkness to it. And of course the purples look !

 

[Wolverina]

I just want all these so... badly. "In a world of tinted balms, one girl searches for extreme color in a tube"

Just read this entire thread in one sitting

Punk Couture
Hautecore
Instigator

This is exactly what my list is looking like. Wells its a no go with the csg now, they are very sheer. Still debating if i really want Studded Kiss though.

Studded Kiss is off my list - too pink for me. I can only wear magenta purples, so I'm really excited for Instigator. I have Heroine and Feel My Pulse, but this seems like their deeper cousin.

IT IS! It's deeper but also richer and brighter too!!! Instigator is going to be your favorite for sure!

 

[AkeshialuvsMAC]

I def want three lipsticks. .. I'm over the reds..

 

[AkeshialuvsMAC]

My list is the same. For me, those CSG's are just way too sheer to be worth $20 each. I'm really not too disappointed, though, because that means more for Magnetic Nude.

I agree!

Maybe they're just mesmerized with how beautiful they are? :eyelove:  In my experience, people don't even ask in the first place, unless they have already been hypnotized a little bit!  My MA told me that the glittery ones are sheer, but not quite as sheer as the glimmerglasses and the black one is pretty opaque for a CSG (but that's not as opaque as a standard lipglass). I actually am thinking Carnal Instinct might possibly be in Magnetic Nude - the name sounds familiar, but it was hard to retain all the names of things I saw in the book. The one product name I remembered from Magnetic Nude was all sexy-style too: Autoerotique. LOL! Studded Kiss is the red in Punk Couture for sure. Don't worry about pink undertones - those would have been really obvious in a paper swatch and the one I saw has zero pink. It is pretty intense and slightly more on the blue side, but just barely. It's BLACK BLACK. If you're seeing red, it's flash photography combined with how colors reproduce in an internet browser. Truuuuuuust me.  IT IS! It's deeper but also richer and brighter too!!! Instigator is going to be your favorite for sure! 

I knew those swatches were suspect. :nono:

Looks like I'm not going to spend much money on the Divine Collection or Riri Holiday. I LOVE these lipsticks! Gonna add all of these to my collections. Wondering if I should tell my boyfriend to get me a couple of these for Christmas

 

[allthingslove]

Carnal Instinct sort of reminds me of Apres Chic....anyone have any thoughts on this...I missed out on Apres Chic but I used my friends' and I love it . Does anyone think they are relatable ?

I'm just gonna trust you, Liba, and stop letting these swatches lead me astray lol. This collection is 2 months away, so a definite list can wait. In the meantime, I should be using up some other lippies to make room for these.

It sucks if Carnal Instinct is part of PC but Asia only, it's so pretty! The glosses are so disappointing! The purples look awesome. :flower: Not sure about Studded Kiss though, seems like it really has a pinky undertone..

I really hope CI is a MN lippie, it's gorgeous. For now Studded Kiss stays on the list! Thanks. :amused:

The black csg caught my attention at first but it is way too sheer! I'm not a fan of gloss so those are an easy skip for me!

They're not bad, but internet swatches always have their issues, especially with makeup, where opacity and translucency add to how complicated the end result becomes. That's why I'm such a chatty little mo-fo trying to describe stuff.

Of all our swatches, itsbecosirock's swatches are the best, especially the two purples! I think they're going to look exactly like that on most people or even brighter and more intense!

MAC's gonna have to make a trip to Fort Knox with this collection!

We love you for that. :amused: And I like itsbcuzirock's swatches better so yay!

 

[Ajigglin]

In Liba I trust. She be knowing.:true: My list remains the same-all the lip products.

 

[Tatiana87]

For those of you who weren't thrilled about Ronnie Red, what is it about the lippie that you don't like? The only reds I have from MAC are Absolute Power and Riri Woo and I love both. I'm just wondering if a color like Studded Kiss/Ronnie Red is worth having.

I can't say I dislike it, I just don't reach for it that much. It's a pretty red but... the thing with Ronnie Red is that on me is such an easy dupable color and I already have so many reds from Mac plus there are other reds that are much better quality or color. It depends on each individual , I guess.

And I also got it for the packaging.

 

[sherm]

I'm definitely getting the two purples and Hautecore. I LOVE the CSGs in the tube but those swatches look super sheer - guess I'll be at the counter furiously swatching during my break on the 26th!

 

[roya]

Anyone who's seen studded kiss, do you think it's darker than ronnie red? I love ronnie red but I feel that it's a little light for me..

 

[EOTD-Fanny]

I hope this collection will launch in Europe as well....

I would seriously cry if it wouldn´t reach Sweden.
