MAC Punk Couture Collection (December 26, 2013)

[matchachoco]

:lmao: :lulz: Lipstick Yoda say May the Gloss Be With You. I actually did a search for "yoda wearing lipstick" and got zero pictures of Yoda with lipstick but got this instead:

Lol!! I want to love CSGs because the formula is so nice but they are just so expensive for how little you get. For example, my Fashion Scoop was getting old and I decided to wear it every day at work to use it up. It only took me about 3 weeks applying 2-3 times a day, and I had only worn it a few times before.

I pray for this type of logic and restraint.... You are my Yoda!

Oh yes! Hail oh so wise goddess Liba!

Want all the lippies! Love the 2 purples the most! I was expecting more of the csg's but I think they would look nice over the lipsticks.

I don't BU as much as I used to because: 1) If it's a hugely popular color, MAC always seems to either bring it back or even do a whole damn collection with 5 different versions of the original color! 2) The more lipsticks I own, the less often I wind up using them in total, because I'm good about cycling through my things. Then, when it turns out to be a more beloved color than I originally would have expected, there's usually some wonderful Specktrette who has a BU to sell or just saw it at her local CCO, so there are options down the road. Also, if it's a really special color I adore and I don't have a BU, I just get extra careful with it - like wear it with lipliner to extend the wear then keep it at home and just bring something similar that doesn't matter as much on the road with me in my purse. I also have a little pouch just for extra special lipstick du jour if I do carry it around, so it doesn't roll all over the place or fall out of my purse. Am I too systematic? I lost my original Flamingo that I only had 1 of and said NEVER AGAIN and so am super careful. The reissue Flamingo wound up looking better on me anyways d'oh.

Truth! I feel like I have more LEs than perms now! It's bad because I tend to let the LEs sit because I don't want to waste them! Bad me!

 

[sugarrxbomb]

someone talk me into the CSGs! I feel like they could have potential?? 'hautecore' reminds me of the Myspace days when usernames were '____ x core' and everyyyy word before 'x core'. Yeah, that was my scene in HS! Miss it dearly!

I do that too lol I have new or almost new because I don't want to run out. The hoarder in me keeps buying so I never get around to using them all anyways. I have like 6-10 perm lipsticks the rest are Le lol

 

[bluedreamqueen]

Love this lipsticks ughh the purples are so pretty especially punk couture! My hair is purple right now so I need these (at least that's what I'm telling myself) I want back ups but I'll probably just buy one of each of the lipsticks bc I am going to be broke haha

In the tube, Jet Boy reminds me a little of the Illamasqua Wanderlust from their new Creators collection. In reality, the Illamasqua gloss is way more intense & pigmented, so if anyone was looking for something like that it might be worth checking out (maybe more straight blackened gold than greenish, but it looks to me to lean a bit olive) http://www.supergorgeous.co.uk/2013/10/illamasqua-creators-collection.html http://www.reallyree.com/2013/10/illamasqua-limited-edition-creators-collection-review-bloggers.html

In Order top to bottom Punk Couture, Hautecore, Instigator, Studded Kiss

These look amazing, thanks so much for the swatches! I love love love Punk Couture and of course the others too, but that one is the most unique and it's the purple I've been waiting for! I don't think Studded Kiss looks like Ronnie Red. SK is darker and I don't see the pink tones that RR has. I love RR so much expecially now that I have Trust In Red PLWLP for it. I'm sad that so many don't love it as much. I think I'm really gonna like SK too, because it's a darker red (I can see here that it's definitely darker than Ruby Woo or RiRi Woo). I don't think I have a red like it.

It's a very unusual, modern and intense red - i love itsbcosirock's swatch photos, but they don't quite capture the full potential of SK!

I'm a Ronnie Red fan too, but it doesn't pull pink on me. It's no point to feel sad if not everyone loves it because it's definitely not a universal red for everyone's coloring. If RR is good on you, you should seriously check out Prepare For Pleasure lipstick from Divine Night. I couldn't even believe how good it looked on me. I'd been expecting absolutely zero from it, because it looked like a neutral red in the tube and those are usually my enemies.

:lol: my red loving twin, I wonder if you're even worse than I am :frenz:

The purple lipstick looks amazing.

It sounds so great! I was already planning on checking out PfP from Divine Nights

I get that RR isn't the red for everyone, but I just wish that everyone that bought it loved it! I'm really looking forward to these two new reds, especially after your reviews and itsbcosirock's pictures.

Thanks for sharing! I was hoping the CSGs were more opaque but they're still too unique to me to pass up. I don't have ANYTHING like them currently from any brand.

 

[MissTT]

I'm buying one of everything. yes everything... (MISSTT don't you dare try and stop me) I'm going to back up the purples and maybe the csg's... I wish it was a different gloss though. These don't last long on me.

I can get behind you on this collection...

 

[miss0annette]

Punk Couture and Instigator and maybe even studded kiss for me.

 

[OctoberViolet]

Punk Couture and Instigator and maybe even studded kiss for me.

Not sure, but I may backup these two. I also want the black one. Skipping the glosses and the quad. Was there going to be a blush with this collection? Anyone?

 

[allthingslove]

i really wanna know if carnal instinct is indeed a part of magnetic nudes OR if it's only for Singapore's Punk Couture...It makes more sense that Carnal Instinct be a part of punk couture since the name literally means instinct of eating meat or "fleshly desire" which is a tad harsh to me for a name for a Nude Collection ...wahhh !

 

[princessjest]

They're both on complete opposite ends of the gloss spectrum in every aspect except sheerness.

Thanks Erine, I had no idea they were both as sheer as each other and I actually like the tackiness of the DG, hmm, This is going to need a swatch instore I think!

 

[sss215]

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!

I'm putting my plan in place right now. Looks like I'll be up late on an already tiring Christmas Day to place my online order. Do the malls open early for gift card shopping on the 26th, lol
