MAC x Pedro Lourenço (June 5, 2014)

[Corally]

Nooo bad Dolly. :whip:

I want the blush duo but idk the bloggers say its dry! Are you still getting it?

Nope. :haha: Just lippies for me!

 

[awickedshape]

Let me think... you would, @HerGreyness  would, and I'm sure lotsa other horny women (and men) too, lol. I agree. I definitely don't go by T's reviews alone (*dead* at taking her opinion with a CUP of salt, lol), but that review combined with Karen's since I can't even remember reading negative things like this about a product on her blog confirmed the impression I had before I read any reviews, just from seeing the swatches. 

I agree with you and VA. The combination of the colours and Karen's review (she seems to luv MAC and is usually relentlessly optimistic) even taken with a grain of salt is a red flag. Even if it may just be a few bad ones in the batch, I *personally* am not going to be getting one. Better will surely come.

They should have made a regular powder blush in that plum shade, with a Satin finish. I bet more people would have bought that.

@Naynadine

lol darling.. I only wanted one thing from this collex and that was

Gimme a P
Gimme an E
Gimme a D
Gimme an R
Gimme an O

everything else, was a zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz for me.. and the blushes too. That the reviews are iffy, I don't much care and I think people need to stop
relying so much on reviews and do their own swatches.. or a leap of faith.

Everyone should have a Pedro in their life.

Or two or three.. lol.
The collection seemed so promising but now everything seems skippable. More money for other things.

:haha: I don't need the lippies

If you really want to blush but aren't sure, try to check it out in the store. With all of the bad reviews, you might have a little extra time to get over to the store to see it in person. I would be very surprised if it sold out.

I don't think I've raved about Roxo today! Can't wait to get me some Roxo! And those two lipglasses? Yep, they are coming home with me, too!

I'm thinking I might just copy you

 

[MandyVanHook]

I'm thinking I might just copy you :haha:

Haha, feel free! They will look great on you!!

 

[LoverOfMac]

Just True Red for me & Gold Mirror (maybe 2) lol that lipglass looks so beautiful!!!

 

[vanessas82]

:shock:  I already expected it to be stiff from the swatches we've seen. It only looked good in the finger swatches from the british blogger. Bad bad Pedro...

Oh no! But I'm still trying to be optimistic with the blush!

Pedro deserves a spanking for this

LOL!

Ugh, I'm just so depressed about the bad reviews for both this collection and the Osbournes!! I've been dying for Pedro even more than AA... Anyone seen reviews of peach beige other than from Karen?

I know T has it too.

Well, Karen said the exact same thing about the blush, that she had to scrape it to get any color out of it, and we all know she rarely says anything bad about any brand so it must have been really bad for her to say something.

That's actually true.

Gosh, why does Peach Beige look so gray in T's pictures? Still considering it though. Would this look good on someone NC30-35 with rosy-mauvey lips? Just wondering if this will make me look like a corpse.

I would like to know too! I like it but don't know if it would look good on me.

 

[GlamQueen21]

Mirror l/g looks pretty but I own She-Zam dazzleglass and have two backups of them. I am still going to get both Ruby and True Red lipsticks.

 

[novocainedreams]

*sigh* Sadness over the blush. But does save me money.

I still want the two glosses.

 

[hopefulheart]

Possibly a skip :fluffy:

Samesies!!!!

I agree!! I may read the reviews for fun and to know what that person thought but it doesn't influence my decision.

Agreed! I don't usually listen to the "review" anymore, but just check out swatches...although I am bummed neither seem to like the blush, saying it's dry. Although T felt that way about one of the Proenza blushes and I love mine!

I like to check out the swatches too! I have bought stuff and loved but T hated it. I would miss out on a lot if I made a decision based on her reviews.
