MAC Veluxe A Trois Collection (August 13, 2015)

[lumaday]

I stopped at Nordstrom's in Denver tonight, they are releasing them tomorrow as scheduled. Hopefully I can make it there! I need to remember to bring Acai to compare QS to.

Hi Vandekamp! I don't have Acai or Runner :sigh: but I could do it next to Rebel, Fashion Revival, and any other purple berry shades I find in my collection! I'll post it tomorrow. Sorry I can't be of more help!

Hi Anaphora Thanks in advance.

Here's Quelle Surprise along the side (big swatch) and top to bottom are Fashion Revival, Pure Heroine, and Rebel. Rebel is shockingly similar except finish and it might have the slightest bit more purple in it.

Okay, MAC 5th Ave is getting it next Thursday, Aug. 20th. Time Sq has it.

 

[Shars]

Hmm. I was expecting Quelle Surprise to be more purple and less berry. Ah well, money saved lol.

It's more purple in my swatch and in person.

Ok! Your swatch looks more like what I was expecting. Thanks. I guess more fairer complexions and warmer undertones will pull more berry maybe.

Why the difference in the release dates?

Lol yes! I think Jon Stewart would concur

Why the difference in the release dates?

Who knows. I called 5th first and was like okay. Then said let me call TS. TS was saying maybe 5th didn't get theirs yet? No idea.

Final tally for this collection:

Ordered from MAC - 2 Heaux ( I don't have the original so must make do with this)
2 Quelle Surpriise
1 Royalty Riotous

Bought at the MAC Counter 1 Flowerscape
1 Pillowtalk
1 Dark Outsider
1 Richly Reserved


I was undecided about the Loud and Lovely lipglass because it looks like something I already have. I might get it at a later date.

Why the difference in the release dates?

I was just in Nordstrom's and the SA, who told me last night they were releasing today, said she got a memo this morning that it was changed to the 20th but no explanation.

The SA at Nordie's felt bad that they switched the release date so she brought me in back and let me swatch them, she's too sweet!
Anyway in my eyes QS is basically a lighter, Cremesheen version of Acai.

Top to bottom: Tats, Flowerscope, QS, Acai (NC20).
On the right are HT and PT. HT barely shows up on me, but PT is gorgeous. I think I'm going to get 2 of those.

Top to bottom: Acai, Heaux 2.0, Rimmel Kate Spade #107 matte

I agree re QS=Acai's CS cuz. I'm going to get PT. But man, those cremesheens, I had to lay it on to get the colors I got in my swatches for FS and QS.

OMG I totally didn't notice PT and HT on you!

 

[montREALady]

Here are my swatches in the bright sunshine. I'll put it in my other post.

Anyone get Richly Revered glass? Just seeing it for the first time on Nordies and it's looking mighty fine!

It's amazing. I already had it, but ordered another for my kit. It's really beautiful, the perfect amount of neutral + color.

Thank you @Anaphora. Your swatches are beautiful. QS looks very close to Rebel and FR. In any event, I'm glad I got it. I definitely did not NEED it. Lol.
