MAC X Toledo Collection (Feb 5, 2015)

[CrimsonQuill157]

Thank you ladies. Maybe I'll skip and pray for a more lavendery purpley blush in the future either from MAC or another company.

If you don't mind indie or loose powder blush, I gotchu!

http://fyrinnae.com/powder-blush-seduce-/ - lilac

http://fyrinnae.com/powder-blush-temptation-/ - deep plum

http://fyrinnae.com/powder-blush-royalty-/ - very vibrant purple

http://www.glamourdolleyes.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=120&products_id=1182 - light lavender with gold shift - I have this one and it is gorgeous

Both Fyrinnae and GDE have other purples on their site.

Hello Waffle has two purple blushes but one is a dark plum and the other a bright purple with gold shimmer. I can link if you want.

Dreamworld Hermetica has nice purples but she is closed for the time being.

Marc Jacobs has a cool lilac pink blush called Outspoken, you should look into that. I've swatched it in store a few times and it is really pretty!

Thank you both so very much!!! I will definitely look into all of these blushes and brands.

I would say wear a darker shade of red to tone down the Orange hue

Can I see SJ on you? BBQ is supposed to be similar according to Temptalia. I was watching SJ on ebay. It's sitting there like ''Girl, buy me. You wanted me first'' but it's 26.00.

I'll be the voice of reason... "Girl, nah! $26.00 vs $17.50... buy Barbecue!"

I'll take a pic when I get home this evening. $26 is a tad bit steep

 

[allthingsglam]

I think I'm only picking up 3 lipsticks I was teambuyallthelippies but I don't like some of the dupes for some of these lippies

Lmao.. I'm going to. I like the packaging in Toledo a little better too.

That is cheap for Ebay.

Sorry if it's been asked already, but will there be a pro discount on this collection? Thanks.

 

[Lipstickwh0re]

lmao. I love you, Vandie.

 

[msvluvsmac]

Currently facing the same dilemma. I don't want a pink blush

Same here.

 

[Marsha Pomells]

True but for Ebay that is cheap. I remember when Heroine was $15 and was selling for $99. Someone recently shared that someone who fell off of their rocker was selling a lipstick for $250???? was that a silly dream. I am NO FAN of EBay BTW.

Sometimes, I really do have to question the motive of the seller's extortionate price, or if the seller had knocked their head on something or planning on buying pure cocaine from Columbia. $26 is cheap for eBay, but still kinda expensive

 

[Lipstickwh0re]

Will be sticking with Opera and BBQ. eBay doesn't surprise me anymore but I will say, if you want a LE product and miss it but it ends up on eBay don't wait too long. I was looking at the Miley thread. There was no way I was paying 95 dollars for TTT. You have opportunists then you have late to the party sellers. I can understand 5 to 7 dollars but 50 and beyond is doing too much.

 

[LMarie21]

Ahh, I'm so excited for the stalking party. Plus, I also just can't wait to get this 'waiting' game over with. I feel like it's been ages since I've stalked for a collection and the release for this one has been dragging. I want my lipstick and lipglass set.

I haven't stalked since October when the matte lipsticks came out. I'm gonna be so rusty lol...

What's on your list?

Yay for the stalking party!

I am going to get all the blushes and two Oxblood lippies. Gonna check out the other lipsticks and the purple eyeshadow palette in store as well.

BBQ is brighter and Spring-ier than SJ, so there's that to consider. SJ is a really unusual red. If you wear red a lot, I don't think $26 would be a terrible price for it, but if you're not sure, reds are so dependent on a person's unique skin tone that I would hold off if you haven't tried it in person before and just get BBQ or wait for SJ to be repromoted.

 

[thefbomb]

Hmm still kind of want Victoriana even though I have Relentlessly Red (the finish is much different though IMO and even though I am returning KVD HellBent. I like RR more than HB so they cant be exact dupes thats for sure. As for Oxblood..I THINK I have Leche from Bite but Im not sure. I really want a l/s from this collection.
I wear more bright colours so in that sense I'd be better off with Victoriana but on the other hand I have similar shades and I ddont have many good neutral and nude shades so that might be nice

. I really appreciate this explanation. I love red lipsticks too so it sounds like SJ is going to be agreeable. But I'll have to look at T's swatches again and decide from there. Thank you.

I think it will be more pink than lavender too!! The purple part might make a bit it a more cool toned pink though!

Exactly. I was thinking the same after I typed it out lol

Nice list! It is easier to order what you know you'll love first and then check the rest in store :bigthumb:

 

[thefbomb]

I think Ive narrowed down my list from this collection. Im thinking Oxblood, Kindergarten Red and Azalea Blossom. Which comes out to $99, the blushes are $39 Canadian which I feel is a little crazy for MAC especially without a mirror, If I could eliminate a blush off my list thatd be nice especially because I want a few of the lip pencils coming out. I tool Ripe Peach off my list, I have the Proenza ones and I have a few orange/peachy ones and realistically its not a colour that I wear often enough that I need anothetr.. I wear far more pink/berry blushes
