MAC Punk Couture Collection (December 26, 2013)

[Pretty Honeybee]

FINALLY! My Instigator that I got during the MAC launch will be here today! :yahoo: Also, this is me wearing PC over Heroine liner (I wanted to brighten it a tad) I look kinda pissed off. lol

Nice!!! How did you like this combo?

Ladies! If your colors don't work for you, please please please don't return them! There are so many ladies here who didn't get a shot at the initial stocks, or passed & regretted it! I ended up with everything that I wanted (and then some!!), but I am SURE there are ladies here who will gladly reimburse your costs by purchasing anything you didn't like or that you shouldn't have bought after all! Everybody should get the chance to try these, and it makes me so sad to think of poor returned lippies being destroyed instead of beautifying lips elsewhere! Please! Think of the LIPSTICKS!!

Totally agree!!!

Happy New Year! I originally planned to go out for New Year's Eve, but then opted to stay in. I still did my makeup and decided to wear Punk Couture. I can't say enough how much I love this lipstick! I outlined my lips with NYX Prune lip pencil then added Punk Couture. It is patchy for me, but I forgive it because of the color. I layered YSL 

39 Pourpre Divin lipstick on top, and then used a lip brush to apply ​

YSL 

47 White Gold Topaze Golden Gloss.​

  My Hautecore and Instigator were delivered on New Year's Eve, so I've now tried all 4 lipsticks. Instigator looks as I expected on me, but I was surprised to find it to be so much darker than Punk Couture. Currant or Vino lip pencils are perfect matches for Instigator. Nightmoth makes it even darker. I was correct in thinking that Punk Couture paired with Currant or Vino pretty much makes Instigator. I really like Hautecouture and it's my second favorite from the collection.

Very beautiful CartoonChic! I really like Hautecore too!

Instigator is love

Yes it is....

LOVING PC!!! I used Nightmoth and Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk in the center for some dimension. Haven't put on Instigator yet but it is beautiful in the tube.

Your beautiful!!

[COLOR=6600CC]Happy New Year gorgeous ladies & handsome gents. Here is your New Year's Day laugh. This is me this morning wearing PC.[/COLOR] [COLOR=6600CC]I love the color so much. Unfortunately, my friggin iPhone camera sucks the big one. I can't take good selfies and it ages me by 10 years imho. I really don't think I look this old.  I also took with my regular camera so once I have time to upload I will post the better quality photos.[/COLOR]

Go ahead sexy mama!!! You look gorgeous!

[COLOR=800080]I hope everyone got what they wanted from this collection! Walked into the Eaton centre this morning and it was empty. i swatched the quad and decided i didn't need it. I forgot to check out the glosses. Instigator is my fave one![/COLOR] Instigator Studded kiss Hautecore Punk Couture

So darn fabulous!!!!

You guys, I actually rolled out of bed early enough to get to Mac before it opened at 8am. I was surprised that by time they opened it was only me and one other young lady. We both wanted Instigator and Punk Couture but the MUA suckered her into the glosses and a lot of other stuff. :nono: I was contemplating Hautecore but I had said I wanted the black from Melt instead. By the time I left I had changed my mind and I was closest to Bloomingdales. I went in and noticed it was missing. The MUA said the lady that walked by me had just bought all three. I'm like really, that's what we do? I took it as a sign that it wasn't meant to be. That MUA is my girl, though and I wanted to buy something from her so on total impulse I got Morning Rose from that Nude collection. I swung by a Macy's at the mall down the road and they had one more Hautecore left. Well, I bought it. I was surprised it was there since they had been open since 7 and I didn't get there until close to 10. I still have my 2 packages from Nordstroms on the way. I'm keeping one order as my backups and I'm going to sell the other order to a friend (Yeah, sell. Who the hell I look like? I'm tired of giving stuff away.) Instigator is my absolute favorite thing! It's the color I have always searched for. Punk Couture is pretty nice, too. I'm highly impressed by Hautecore. It doesn't swatch all that well on me, but it glides on. It's not black black on me, but it's great. I tried my Bling Black gloss from Style Black over it and it was nice, but it seemed to break the lipstick down a bit. I didn't even use that much. :dunno: Swatching Studded Kiss in the store I realize I don't really need it. Didn't set my heart on fire. I'll keep one, though. Anyway, who's up for sloppy lip swatches? Instigator

Punk Couture

Hautecore

Hautecore with Bling Black

Oh and I went to Lush after all that and lost my mind on the buy one get one. So much so that I left my damn Mac bag on the counter! I hauled ass back to the store and it was still there. Thank goodness the store was full of tweens who wouldn't know what to do with these lipsticks if their lives depended on it. I've never been so forgetful in my entire life.

Beautiful Shontay!! I'm feeling Hautecore myself! Lol@ comment about selling to friend... I hear ya girl!

Forgot to post this when I wore it a few days ago. Only posted on IG this day but I wore SK to work with Brick lip pencil. Loved it enough to plan for a BU, maybe 2.

:eyelove:

When I apply Jet Boy over my PC lippies, I find that I have to pat it over. If I swipe I wont get the glitter from the gloss and the lipstick gets on the wand. I love the gloss though.

I love too! So pretty!

NC 50 for reference.. This is Pc and also the Highlight is fp from mn

You are gorgeous! I love your wing!

I got Studded Kiss today & Loves it on me

I bet you look fab!!!

So... I earlier I passed up on Hautecore because I thought, "when am i going to actually wear a black lipstick?" Then today between jobs I had 20 minutes to spare so I went to go grab a pretzel. I always forget that the pop-up MAC store is right next door. The pretzel line is long and I want to pop my head in and see what I can't live without. The store is the size of a shoebox, and there are only two very busy MAs with a half dozen customers to help. I'm about to give up when an MA comes back from her break. I ask her, "Are you guys still sold out of the Punk Couture lipsticks?" She looks at me confused and says "we haven't sold out of any of them." I guess others, like myself, forgot that the little MAC was even then because the Nordstrom just 100 feet away has been sold out for days. Anyways, I do not know if they do phone orders since the store is really about the size of my bedroom and is just temporary until the full store opens in February. I won't be back at the mall until Friday, but I can always pop in and if they have anything I can grab it to do a CP. PM and I can at least tell you the location, although I don't have their phone number. I just know it's next to Auntie Anne's! Anyways, I finally got home to play with HC and I absolutely love it. I definitely won't wear it at much as... RRW or anything, but I was surprised with how comfortable I felt in a black lipstick.

Plz, excuse the lack of everything. I had been working since 7am. I just couldn't help myself though. I love it!

Happy New Years everyone!!! I'm still on the fence with PC, but I do like Instigator. What's everyone wearing PC with? I need some tips to increase wearability

Beautiful!!! I love HC!

I just tried on Hautecore and it's Not sheer at all! Full, opaque BLACK!!!

Ain't it though??

Here's me wearing Instigator today. Forgive the makeup. Everything except for the lip has been on for 24hrs.

Wicked look Erine! :eyelove:

[erinmosh]

anyone know of instigator being in stock anywhere?

 

[MissElle12]

I'm definitely going to try again when I get home from work tomorrow. The next option to is wake up early on Monday and try to get help before I leave for work. I had no idea they employed those kinds of tactics to get misdelivered packages!


Thanks! I plan on asking him on Monday. I doubt he'll remember one small package amongst the dozens he delivers to the building every day but it's definitely worth a shot. I'm hoping to get UPS to look into whether any other packages that were recently delivered to my office building were signed for by the same person.

UPS was on some crazy holiday schedule that week, and the drivers weren't given their normal route, so it's possible there was a different UPS delivery person that brought your package to your workplace and just gave it someone who wasn't authorized to receive it. If you happen to see your normal delivery person, maybe he can help you get in contact with a live person at their local UPS office.

hey i know this is off topic but should i get mac all fired up. i heard it like mac ruby roo and if its another red i don't need it

It's not like ruby woo at all!!!!! I'm not home so I can't swatch but google ruby woo vs all fired up swatches .... And it's a must.

 

[mosha010]

I had swatches comparing these two that I took for a friend lol. Left is ruby woo, right is all fired up. RW is redder, whereas AFU is a red fuchsia very cool toned

 

[mosha010]

It will pull very pink with flash btw

 

[trina11225]

afu don't look good on me on it's own, i paired it with a red liner. That combo makes it very pleasure bomb.
