MAC Magnetic Nude Collection (December 26, 2013)

[Naughtyp]

I was only going to get morning rose lipstick but somehow fairly precious ended up in my cart! Don't know why I only have worn my WOG two times since last year....

@MakeupAddict22 Uh oh, I don't like the sound of that. What happened? This is my 1st time ordering from Nordies.

 

[allthingsglam]

My ordered shipped yay

Sound of what? Nordies has amazing customer service, shouldn't be a problem. The only time I have had a problem was with the Rhianna collection selling out and oe of my lipsticks had to be cancelled, but honestly that's MAC's fault for lack of supply. Nordstrom's is great really.

Well, I caved and placed a Nordstrom order.

Fairly Precious x2
Superb
It's Physical

I wanted to hold out for MAC but our family holiday events are starting in a few hours. I won't have time to stalk, and as we all know, better safe that sorry for the LE's!

I hope you all have a lovely holiday and get the goodies that you want!!

@novacainedreams for some reason I'm unable to quote on my cell @MakeupAddict22 mentioned having an issue with Nordies, and I was wondering what exactly it was. Glad to know you've had great customer service from them! It puts my mind at ease lol.

I love the color it is on temptalia, a gorgeous peach.

You'd have to load it on like a mofo to get it to look like Christine (which is what she does, ostensibly to show off the color). I'm NC15 with freckles and even on me, I really think of it as more of a skin perfector, rather than a subtle blush. It adds smoothness and warmth to the complexion, but it ain't blush. I'd use it all over my cheeks and then dab a little blush on the apples to finish. That'd be the good look with FP.

I agree with liba - applied first then topped with a blush is how I like to wear the EDSF's like FP. For reference, I'm NC15-20.

Thank you. I love the sound of that look.

I see a few people already got their shipping info..yay! But I'm worried my order won't arrive until after Xmas. I placed it at 7:11am PST and i haven't even received an order or shipping confirmation.

I had put in my order and than I received a cancellation notice on all my items even though it said it was still in stock online ..

Can someone please help me?
I didnt not place an order for the EDSF's but do have my eye on FP. I am an NC44. I currently own Superb tho and love it!
Can anyone give me their opinion if this would work for me? I'd really appreciate it so that once it's up on MAC's site I can order it! Thank you!!!

My hunch is that I will be getting a MAC giftcard for the holidays, so I will wait to buy in store.

I don't think the EDSF are supposed to give a ton of color. If your skin is darker than FP, it's still going to give a nice glow. Although, for an NC44 my favorite EDSF would be Glorify. I wish they would re-release that one. It is ah-may-zing on deeper skin tones. Magnetic Appeal seems similar, but from the swatches it doesn't look at metallic. Honestly the EDSF seem pretty universal and you can use them on many skin tones.

 

[ALivingDoll]

It's so hard to judge by pictures. As much as I appreciate bloggers who are able to give preview swatches and reviews, it's just not the same unless you see for yourself. I really am dreading waking up at 5am to be at Macy's MAC counter when they open at 6. And let's not talk about the lines and crowds

 

[ALivingDoll]

Thank you so much. I own Glorify and honestly it gives me an orangey type glow which i dont mind in the summer. I really want to get something similar to that of WOG and Superb which I own already and love.

Then I think FP will work out just fine. It has that warmth, without being real dark.

This makes me wanna give my Glorify some love. I may have tried it once since I bought it when it originally came out. It's just been sitting in my stash. I'll give it some love very soon.
