MAC Magnetic Nude Collection (December 26, 2013)

[Ajigglin]

Here's a comparison of Superb and Soft and Gentle to help

Superb is purty.

I'm trying to upload swatches I did today! My phone is acting up! You can see them on my IG Jmannsss but I'll post later today

Thank you SO much! Wow, I really wanted Pleasure model, but it looks soooooo orange--I might have to re-think that. I think MAC was said to use it at a lot of Spring Fashion Week--might be runway ready but maybe not street-ready.

Hmmm... i wonder how fairly precious would compare to Adored msf from the tropical taboo collection. I have Adored so i dont know if i NEED fairly precious.

You probably don't. I'm sure there's some minute difference between them, but is it really going to show when it's a highlight? I have Adored and LIght Year and I'm confident that I'm covered from the peachy front. When these products are lightly applied, the differences between them are beyond subtle.

OOOH thank you for this. I only wanted a few things from this collection and now I can cross it off my list!

I literally felt the same. Wanted PM and not AE until I swatched them! Now I want AE def not PM too orange

I'm trying hard to avoid buyng virtually the same products over and over again (and then neglecting half of them). Products look different when heavily swatched, but the subtle differences often don't really snow with a normal application.

We have to keep each other strong! I'm inspired by Pixie's low buy thread. If I buy less, I'll enjoy and use what I have more.

We can do it!! I'm just really going to think things through more carefully. My highlighter drawer is stuffed to the brim and I barely ever touch them! Honestly I could probably keep 2 or 3 and be happy with that. It just makes me feel sick to choose what to purge!

The other things I'm interested in from this collection are Autoerotique blush & It's Physical liner. Autoerotique because I haven't tried an ED blush. The pros would be that I love pops of bright color on the cheeks but I probably have 100 other blushes and don't need it. It's Physical liner sounds gorgeous but I have so many liners that a lot of them are drying out and shriveling up... gels and pencils!! I would like to have ANF & SH e/s but the smaller size and the price just irks me. Also... do I really need more soft lid shades? NOOOOO!!!!

I got a chance to see the skin finishes today and blushes when I went to Nordstrom for the riri collection boy are they beautiful. The skin finishes all appeared to be WOC friendly Might just get all three.

@jMANNSs Thank you!

The decision between Pleasure Model, and Autoerotique is difficult now!

 

[Debbs]

The difference between PM and Autoerotique is hard to really see just by looking. PM is a bit darker it seems. Autoerotique blush seems very similar to Fiery Impact blush to me . AA is almost the same as PM and Autoerotique . I didn't swatch so I could be wrong but maybe not

Here's a thought - we could both skip the entire collection and come up with looks that are very similar to what we could have created with this collection's products.

Without spending a penny.

I'm saving my new purchases for items I don't already have 475865 dupes for (like Instigator). If you have 100 blushes, I bet you can Frankenblush just about anything you want.

SKIP SKIP SKIP!!!

I'm sorry, wha? :blink:

I'm sorry, wha?

Seriously, I'm so overloaded with stuff it's not even fun anymore. I'm selling a bunch of stuff for the first time and getting way choosier. I KNOW I'd really like a peach EDSF. I also know that I have a couple of other products that are essentially identical given my light application.

I'm still gonna buy (HELLO PC!), but no more near dupes for me. And like someone who just quit smoking, I'm the worst kind of reformed addict.

 

[ThatsGorJESS]

I can really focus on this collection now that the other madness is over and since Im possible skipping PC

 

[josephine90]

FP, yes or no?

 

[martiangurll]

Trying to resist all the Morning Rose talk! Not sure I can resist Sensual Spark though.

Very true. Even tho i still buy a lot, I've cut way back, and i b2m for a lot of my lippies. I have plenty of shadows, and the majority of the shadows mac has been coming out with are 95% dupes of colours they've come out with in the past, which i already have. I completely skipped the fall (not counting B2Ming for a lippie) AND winter collection, and that's NEVER happened. EVER!!! My weakness is lipsticks (I've stopped buying glosses), and i don't see that changing anytime soon.

 

[Uptownbackinit]

Fairly precious Autoerotique Morning rose Close contact All I'm allowing myself to buy!

Thanks for the swatches. I preordered Pleasure Model & Magnetic Appeal today and, based on your swatches, I'm excited to get my hands on them. I might add Superb too because I like that file sheen.

I'm trying to upload swatches I did today! My phone is acting up! You can see them on my IG Jmannsss but I'll post later today

I am with you on this. Honestly, I have my holy grail highlighters. I wanted to back up A Natural Flirt, then realized I have only used it once. I see nothing that is jumping out at me from this. Maybe the darker MSF but that is a huge maybe. Everything else, I will pass on
