MAC x Pedro Lourenço (June 5, 2014)

[jenise]

I think it's still up on Bloomingdales--does that site work for you?



No

I can only order from the international Bloomindales (Which doesn't show anything in Beauty Department)

& I can't order from the US Bloomingdales because it requies a US billing address while mine is not because I don't live there

aw man that sucks! maybe mac will do a restock or youll find it in the CB!!

I'm glad to see that she responded to the reader feedback.




I'm glad too but little pissed too

I wanted that oene since I first saw the pictures

then when I saw the F I was like! you don't need an item that is this awful even if it's beautiful

-__- and now I know it's good & I can't get it

I don't even know if this collection will launch in my country! the sometimes skip such collections

Yes, it is frustrating. I am glad that she was willing to listen to her readers and do some additional investigating, though.

Im calling mac today havent received a call or email about my replacement gloss..

 

[MACina]

I received my blush yesterday and didn't have any problems swatching or getting color off of it. I also found it quite soft. I'm wondering if there was a dud batch??





Here are swatches- One in the shade and one in full sun. The last swatch is both shades mixed together.

Prettyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Thank you for the swatches, hazyday!

So I'm MIA till after tomorrow, but just popped in to say Roxo somehow fell into my MAC cart when ordering for the osbornes... Excited to receive it!

There are worse things that could happen. :winkiss:

You look so beautiful in your new pic!!!

Just took a few pictures of my stuff that arrived this morning.





Absolutely love the quality of the shadows. I'll probably use Pink Sands (upper left) as a blush, too. Rosé Cloud (lower left) is my new favorite crease shade, hands down.



Top middle is Peach Beige, top left Altered Beige, top right Fun Finds; bottom row from the left: Crème D'Nude, Fleshpot, Myth and Supremely Confident.

Thought I'd get out my nude lippies to do a comparison, as some people seem a lil' scared of it.
Personally I find Peach Beige to be very wearable.
Peach Beige is a pretty neutral beige and has that little hint of pink in it. Wearing it right now and loving it!

YAY

I am sure that everything looks gorgeous on you, Elegant

Glad you could order a BU!

thanks my dear! I really really love how the blush give the perfect natural flush to the face.

This is up on the UK site now. http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/whats_new/12919/New-Collections/Pedro-Lourenco/index.tmpl

Sara--this is an update from Temptalia's site---maybe yours will be ok?  I purchased an additional Corol through maccosmetics.com to see if it would be any better. I’m happy to report that it is better in texture–there was no need to scrape layers off.  The texture was soft, a little powdery, and the lighter shade was almost chalky, but the consistency of the powder was infinitely better than the one I received as a sample.  When I compared the two powders together, I noticed that the lighter side darkens after you remove a few layers.  At first, I thought the shades differed, but after I brushed away several layers from the second powder, the two matched.  A few readers also reported that their powders were manageable, which is great news.  The original rating was 0.5, 3, 4, 6.5, and 0.5 for the powder as a whole; I’m updating the rating to reflect the consumer version available based on the one I purchased but leaving the original review so that we have a complete story going forward

Thanks so much for letting me know. I really like the shades and hoping so much for it to work. That said I brushed off several layers just now and unfortunately it didn't help. It is still very stiff and hard. I will keep on trying though, I will update it here if I reach a reasonable powder under this part.

Yeah, I'm a little disappointed that I skipped. Hopefully I can console myself with Strip Poker when I get it today.

I skipped the Coral Duo after seeing temptalia first rating now she bought it again and gave it B- and I regret it it's Sold out in MAC & shows as Unavailable in Nord -_-

Glad to see she updated the duo score. She said in her comments that she ordered another Corol and would let readers know if she had better luck with it so she kept her word. As far as relying solely on what she (or any blogger) says in order to make your decision....it's not a great idea. T has given some other products less than stellar reviews yet the overwhelming majority of people that bought those items had no issues with those same products. Not saying that she or any blogger is always wrong but press samples may not be of equal quality of the final product AND bloggers are regular people expressing their own opinions. Hopefully you can find Corol (keep an eye out for a restock this week based on what I was told by MAC Pro CS on Friday when I called about my incorrect lip glass).

Oh lovely! Hmm...I want it! haha

EDIT: Ordered it, hope it's not from the bad batch, LOL

Ok, I feel dumb. Is this a limited release as far as what department stores get it? Nordstrom chat told me only 7 stores were getting it because it's a limited release. So I was thinking it was limited everywhere, like not every MAC store was getting it. So I asked on MAC chat, and they said that every MAC store IS getting it. So confused.

I want Peach Beige

Me too. Regretting skipping it after seeing swatches here.

 

[awickedshape]

I look at T's blog a lot but I also looked for other swatches, too. T and Karen both had bad experiences and it was certainly a red flag but there were other swatches available and I ordered the blush based on that and my own feelings about it. I'm hoping it's a good one.
