MAC X Toledo Collection (Feb 5, 2015)

[nt234]

I was able to get my Oxblood lippie today! Yay! They were all sold out of the lipglass but that's okay. I also tried on Tenor Voice which I loved, but I feel like reds are so easy to come by nowadays, so if it's not there the next time I'm at the mall, I'll survive. lol.

Yikes, hopefully you love it! I almost bought one for around that same price but I decided to wait and see if anything cheaper popped up. Glad I did, I paid $26 shipped. Still overpriced but not too bad.

I bought another one from macys on release day.So I guess I'll sell it for 35 and it will even out.Thats color is okay I actually like the lipglass better..But 26 is a good price if something is sold out

I picked up oxblood lipstick today after 6pm

Thank you I actually bought this lipstick when it got sold out everywhere before store release.Then I end up getting it from the store too..

So didn't go 2 nuts since I stopped by HSN 4 the chocolate bar special lol! But got RP OB l/s and BBQ l/g and RP showed up good mine didn't have the film on it I guess

 

[Rebellefleur]

I need to try victoriana with VG Riri 2 it looks so pretty! I was also thinking of trying it with VG Miley to bring out the pink

Unbelievable. Thanks for the heads up. Glad I decided to skip the blushes. I have enough anyway. I got Victoriana too. I was not impressed. I will likely send it back. In fact, all of the reds in the collection are very similar. I agree. I did like Opera. I have a feeling that will be the breakout color in the collection for me. I still have not received my order from Nordstroms for Oxblood. I will make the final determination when I see OB. Barbecue looks very pretty on you.

Thank you

OMG allthingsglam OB looks amazing on you!

I got my Oxblood lipstick and lipglass yesterday, and it looks kind of orangey brown on my lips. I am not really liking it. I will try it again today and make up my mind.

I caved and ordered Victoriana yesterday! Yay! Was going to pick it up in store today, but I really don't want to purchase anything else and knowing me, I would go in for the one lipstick and walk away with half the collection.

LOL. But seriously, I am super happy with just the two lippies. Am really looking forward to picking up some things from future collections!

I did get Toxic Tale! They let me B2M for it, so that was great!
Looking forward to hearing if you love your new Toledo goodies!

I'm sure you will love Victoriana

I'm most intrigued by Tenor Voice! I saw you were contemplating Opera too? Did you end up getting it?

I've been away for 3 day vaykay and keeping up with this thread has been a challenge lol. It has totally exploded!!

I went to a department store here to buy Toxic Talen as I had gift cards to use there, and they said the Mac Red collection was pro-store only here...I found that quite odd. I then ordered it from Nordies, I think I would be kicking myself if I skipped it.

I should get Tenor Voice and Vic in a week, and the others later as I split my shipments up..I will report back!!!

Oh, and here are some fantastic swatches on fair skin:

I think BBQ looks amazing on her, I considered getting it after seeing her lip swatch, but I am not sure if I will get much use from it. I have Sail La Vie and I can't say it gets used much.

It does look exactly like a BBQ flame

Why am I interested in this shade?!

@elegant-one what do you think? I saw somewhere in the thread during my speed reading catch up you were giving BBQ some thought? Loved all your fantastic detailed pics and swatches btw!

 

[beth583]

I got my oxblood yesterday that I ordered from nordies. I like it but it doesn't woo me or anything. Just kinda meh lol

Victoriana is beautiful on you. Definitely one of my favorite lipsticks from this collection.

I am really trying to talk myself out of Opera. I was only supposed to get Ob and BBQ. I ended up with Tenor Voice and Victoriana as well. :thud:

I'm trying not to get BBQ. :haha:

 

[NaomiH]

Thanks so much Vande! :hug:

Thank you so muchI'm starting to love this color♡I know for some reason the blush doesn't show up on camera but it's a bit darker in real life.But hey at least no one will go overboard on the blush..lol Oxblood looked very nice on you too

How does Ruby Woo compare to Opera? are they the exact same color. I have been looking at Tempatlia's swatches and the look identical, but I am not sure if its her lighting.
