Antiquitease: Color October 18th '07 Discussion

[elegant-one]

I just got the Red Romp....LOVE! I normally don't do more colorful lips...but this is gorgeous. Just bought another. I also got Budding Lust - it's very pretty but a little darker plum than most of the pictures/swatches you see. I compared it to Plum Dandy - the Budding Lust has a bit more red undertone and the Plum Dandy has more of a purple undertone. Very Pretty!

I checked out this collection today. Oddly, I'm not really sure what I thought. I liked Engaging, Earthly Riches, and Family Silver but not any of them so much that I thought I HAD to have them.I don't really have a lot of grays (or any, actually). This might be the time to get one. The Red in Mi'lady was quite pretty but I don't want the purple color and I'd rather hold out for a real red e/s. I wasn't even remotely interestested in Silversmith. But I just don't know. In the past when I've purchased MES I don't really use them often.

The pigments were also a mystery. I loved how they shimmer and glitter the way the Rushmetal pigments did, but I just can't think of a good enough reason to get them. Maybe Sweet Sienna. But I almost want to use my lack of enthusiasm as a reason to FINALLY purchase a full jar of Vanilla. Is that sad?

The lippies were pretty. Queen's Sin reminded me of a redder version Rocking Chick l/s. Her Fancy was pretty but I have other pink l/s (Bombshell came to mind) and I couldn't see myself using it that much. Budding Lust I don't even remember and I know Antiquitease isn't my type of shade. Gilty Kiss - well, that didn't even show up on me.

The lipglasses all looked rather boring to me. I have stuff like this already with the exception of Corsette which I can't make up my mind about.

What is wrong with me???

Bah! Don't listen to me! I confused Gold Stroke with Sweet Sienna.

Put the latter with your silvers.

It reminds me of a greyer Mauvement. I could see a difference in the two, and I actually like the former better, but it wasn't so different that I could justify getting a jar. And Gold Stroke, well it's too similar to a lot of frosty brown shadows that I have.

The lipglosses, were boring. The fluidline was pretty much Gorgeous Gold in a fluidline, which did not interest me. The pigments were neither here or there, nothing special about them. The nail polish was pretty much the same as a gold one you could get at the 99 cent store. This is just my own 2 cents.

I agree

I got 2 of the piggies, I thought them pretty, but neither had the WOW factor.

p.s. The Feline eye khol (McQueen) was sold out yesterday at the Soho store, it's a killer pencil, got it on line last nite on the site.

What is it? what does it look like?

How does everyone think Sweet Sienna compares to Satin Taupe e/s? Or even club e/s?

I wanna know too. Based on the description, it sounds like a pressed version of Satin Taupe

 

[talk2mesun]

Also, can someone compare Gold Stroke to other brown pigments or eyeshadows? Plus, what is its consistency like? (copperclast, copper sparkle, chocolate brown,etc)

 

[keik614]

i just posted a swatch on my MUA profile
http://img.makeupalley.com/5/0/1/5/787296.JPG

(from Left-->Satin Taupe, Sweet Sienna, and Club)

that has a comparison picture of satin taupe, sweet sienna and club.

in my opinion, sweet sienna is more goldish grey and may have a hint of olive in it. (on my NW15 PPP skin)

im sorry my description sucks but i hope that helps!

They had the colors behind in the counter with other stocked items but no swatches so I purcahsed blind.
Got Mi'lady e/s, Queen's Sin l/s... Bare Study pot and All That Glitters e/s.

Mi'lady is a SUPER nice red with Luna ccb to maximize the intensity. Very wearable because it's not such a "flat" red. The purple is okay, kind of "eh" on it.

Queen's Sin l/s is very metallic. I mean, it looks gorgeous, goes on well but it's something that reminds me of CB 96 l/s... because of how frosty it is (note: it's a blue/blood red, not at all orange).

Nothing else interested me right now, except maybe Sweet Siena pig, Family Silver, and Engaged. I think the Earthly Riches look craptastic... Not a nice purple at all, imo. The fluidline was okay, I can wait until it's cheaper on eBay to buy it.

 

[syrene78]

Gold Stroke is like chocolate brown but with some silver sparkle in it.
It has frost texture.
Very pretty!
Sweet Sienna is very unique to my opinion. I can't think of one particular color to compare it too. Great for a smokey eye!

 

[Shimmer]

I got Mi' Lady and Uppity. I'm probably going to get the pigments, but haven't committed. Yet.

And, I love Engaging...but like the girl said, it's something like amber lights, so I skipped over it. :/ (Plus my wallet wheezed a little, it's that time of month...)

Maybe not in the MAC line, but from pictures I've seen it looks very simailar to Stila's Diamond Lil. I can swatch the two after I receive Sweet Sienna in the mail.

I ended up ordering Red Romp, Corsette, and Earthly Riches.

Red Romp is very beautiful red. It looks like a true red on me. I *think* I could probably find a similar shade that isn't LE in a number of brands, but it's nice and I don't have to trial and error shop.

Corsette is a lot more metallic than I thought. It also, IMO, looks kind of deep lavender. It looks good on me, though, so again, I'm not unhappy with it.

Earthly Riches is okay. The purple looks more muted than I expected. It has decent pay off, though. I'm kind of disappointed in the veining. At least in mine, it's very subtle.

 

[elegant-one]

I got the Red Romp too (2 of them). I think it is stunning on & much better than the lipstick...softer, fresher, and more modern looking than a heavy lipstick imo - and this way I think it's totally day-wearable for a red.

 

[BunnyBunnyBunny]

I dunno if anyone has said this or not, but I think that Queen's Sin looks like the classier, less slutty sister of Rocking Chick (from Barbie Loves MAC). Hahahahahaha... xD Sorry if that offended anyone!! I have them both and they're gorgeous, just one is metallic-frosty unique red, and the other is metallic-frosty unique pink!!

I got Mi' Lady and love it. The MA actually suggested using the red on the lips over a red lipstick. She had done this with Queen's Sin. It was really pretty. I used Dubonnet. Then I toped it with Ornamentalism. I really like it! I am wearing it tommorow.

On another note, I am REALLY bummed because my Mi' Lady shadow is almost 2/3 purple and 1/3 red.

I bought it because I love the red. I should have taken it back before I decided to play with it but I just couldn't wait. I guess I'll get a backup and just make sure that the ratio is more 1/2 & 1/2.

For Mi' Lady it really depends. I have gone to 3 different stores and they all look different. One had all purple and a touch of red. One had all red with 1/3 purple. One has all red with purple veining. It really depends.

I love love Queen's Sin, one of the best reds I have seen so far! I love the red pigments in it. I also got Your ladyship and Gold Stroke pigments.
