MAC Magnetic Nude Collection (December 26, 2013)

[LinenWhite7]

I need to stay out of this thread. AE and FP on N2/NW15? Yay or nay?

Yes!

I'm NW 20 and those are the two items I've gotten from this collection so far, so I would say yes.

@Ajigglin I'm returning FP. It doesn't even show up on my face. I guess some people are liking it but it does nothing for me. MA is gorgeous, though. I can use it as sort of a blush/highlight. So pretty.

I'm actually glad that I'm returning it, because I got 2 more Sensual Sparks. It's been so hard to get decent lighting to take pics lol. Everything is either orange or washed out smh.

Here's Sensual Sparks:


And here's Carnal Instinct in orange bathroom lighting. The actual lipstick color is pretty close, though:


I'm really happy with both

Close contact on you is what i wished it looked like on me. Its perfect on you!
CC made me look like crazy and sensual sparks looked like boo boo on me =[ so the lippies were a no go. i didnt even bother with morning rose because pinky/rose lipsticks just arent my thing. i guess ill stick with Cozy up as my nude for now.

I didn't get CC or SS BECAUSE I have Cozy Up. I love that nude and I prefer that it's matte, too. Cozy Up is sort of the cross between CC and SS anyways.

It's my official HG nude/every da color. Let's just hope my nearby stores aren't sold out of it by now.

It's funny how you just know when you've found your perfect nude!

come on not really all the permanent stuff is crappy
most of the time permanent items have much better quality than LE ones

I wouldn't say crappy either, but one thing the LEs sometimes benefit from is they're made with the very latest technologies. MAC has been making some new tech things perm much quicker now, like the Mineralize lipsticks and the Cremeblend blushes, but they really could use an update to their line of highlighters with some Extra Dimension! If they just did WOG, Superb and Glorify or MA as perm, that would be enough - just like there are a few perm MSFs and then the new LE stuff keeps coming too.

Perfect example IMO is PLW shadows and blush.

Switch for EDS please MAC.

I can't wait to start experimenting with some shadows now. I really wanted some from this collection, but the price dissuaded me. Silver Dawn and Amorous Alloy are my faves, from the swatches. Maybe they'll show up at the CCO eventually. Satin Taupe and Cranberry will have to do for now

These swatches are so helpful! TY! They confirm I'm skipping CC.

In my opinion, it is easy dupable... and not that great of a color, so definitely skippable (is that a word? lol)... I am glad it helped.. I didn't know whether it would since there didn't seem to be a lot of interest in it on here..but decided it might help some people..

 

[keridabeenfabb]

Hellbound lipgloss is fabulous! Will seek forgiveness later for breaking my self-imposed rule so quickly but OMG. HB has Restless begging for mercy. Gloss fiends are in the minority here so finding a perfect gloss is hard to explain, lol

LOL hellbound is gorgeous but i absolutely love steel kiss!

 

[butterflyeyes]

I initially had NO plans on getting anything from this collection...was focused solely on PC, but I ended up ordering: Steel Kiss Hell Bound Overspiced Sensual Sparks Morning Rose Magnetic Appeal Pleasure Model 128 & 235 brushes :shock: I blame being in Dillard's when MAC finally went live with both collections...which gave me time to swatch things in store real quick lol. I passed on Superb but now I'm thinking maybe I should have got it. Almost tempted to place an order lol. Passed on the eye shadows even though I liked a few of them.

Perfect example IMO is PLW shadows and blush.

Switch for EDS please MAC.

i do not have any of these but everything else in plw line is perfection

 

[pinkpaint]

@liba you inspired me to do a quick eye look with my Black Friday Stila palette lol. Came out very pretty with SS and Nars Sin And now I'm done with selfies for the day lol

 

[Jazibellaera]

Autoerotique is such a pretty color. I'm debating if I really need it..

 

[mousygiggles]

I agree on new technologies. I like when they update the line with new foundation concealer and the basic stuff. But i do not appreciate making 545456 collections a month. Quality not quantity.

i do not have any of these but everything else in plw line is perfection

I disagree. The PLW lipglass is not good imo and only one of the PLW eyeliners is decent quality in application. The others pull and are not very evenly pigmented.

 

[NaturallyUrs]

..I caved and got magnetic appeal, pleasure model and overspiced After telling myself I would hold off until I moved into my new apt in March. Why Mac? Why???

 

[Dolly Snow]

I

Autoerotique is such a pretty color. I'm debating if I really need it.. :anyone:

I love it. Its very pretty. Personally i'd say yes.

 

[HelloBlondie]

My swatches from the counter today! I'm loving FP & Autoerotique. Magnetic appeal is far too brassy for me! And I wanted to love Superb, but it's just not doing it for me :/ NW13 for reference

 

[Dolly Snow]

I love MORNING ROSE so much, I am backing it up.

 

[Jazibellaera]

I love it. Its very pretty. Personally i'd say yes.

Another to add to the list!

Close Contact and Morning Rose were sold out in Macy's, but luckily I got Close Contact at the MAC store yesterday in the morning. Morning Rose is a nice color, but I prefer Haute Altitude for a MLBB lipstick. Close Contact applies like a neutral beige nude on me, nothing like Sweet & Sour (the only reason why I wanted it :\) or peach, it's creamy though. I skipped on all of the ED stuff because it's not really my thing but At Dusk is really pretty.

Comparisons:


MAC Hue, MAC Close Contact
MAC Runway Hit, MAC Ruffian Naked
MAC Myth, MAC Sushi Kiss
MAC Viva Glam Gaga 2, MAC Growing Trend




Viva Glam Gaga 2, Myth, Runway Hit, Hue
Growing Trend, Sushi Kiss, Ruffian Naked, Close Contact

I don't know why I swatched RH and SK with the other lipsticks, oh well.

Sorry i forgot about those
have you tried plw foundation or concealer? Eyeliners are good. Lipglasses i have not tried.
I was referring to complexion products.

But if you think about eyeshadows, glosses, blushes, bronzers, wide range of powders, concealers, liquid, cream, powder foundations.... I mean choices are endless and i do not think any other brand offers so much.
