C-Shock

[Ashleybubbles83]

i said that i wasn't gonna get anything from this collection and i broke down...

i bought wondergrass from the website. can't wait to get it!

So what do you ladies plan to use as a base for the C-Shock shadows to really make them pop? I thought about using Fluidlines in Blue Peep and Royal Wink, but the color pay-off wasn't worth it IMO...

!!! You're the first one who's gotten that!

I'm a huge fan of the Alien films (discounting Resurrection and AVP; particularly AVP because goddammit, you do not kill Lance Henriksen in your Aliens film) and have always thought the idea of a bright pink alien would be hysterical. So: Pink Xenomorph! I use it for everything now.

Aaaaand to get back on topic: I just ordered me the blue lipstick and all the eyeshadows save for Passionate (since it'll be there), Eyepopping and Fab and Flashy since all of those look way too warm for my skin. I wanted Vivacious and Pomposity but I'm already going to get screamed at whenever my father gets my stupid bank statement so I figure I'll go back for them when I go back for the remaining shadows because knowing me, I'll get the shadows anyway.

...I can't wait for my blue lipstick.

I'm so thrilled about this collection!! I think I'll get every e/s, but I'll definately get Bang On Blue, Big T, Wondergrass and Fab & Flashy, I already have Passionate. The more I look at all those lovely pics to more I want them all! Maybe I'll get Sugar Shock l/g, It looks delicious!!

I just called my MAC store, to ask when C-shock will be released in the Netherlands, she said at the end of july, so I'll have to be pacient!! I also asked her if they would have a lot in stocking or if I'd have to be quick, I don't think she understood 'cause her Dutch wasn't that great, she told me to view the colors online...

To all the girls complaning about the PRO stores, we don't even have 1, neither does Belgium. We have 1 free standing store and 3 counters (of wich 1 is around the corner of the fs) Belgium had 1 Free Standing and no counters. I live in the third biggest city of Holland and we don't have any MAC here. Plus we can't order from the MAC website!

Do you guys think anything from C-Shock will sell out quickly? I'm hopefully going to be able to go tomorrow afternoon, but I wanted to know what you wonderful Specktrettes thought.

 

[goodbyexxkitty]

I hope it doesn't sell out too quick, I can't get to the mall until Saturday!

 

[juicyaddict]

I'm off to get c-shocked!!! yipee! stopping at my macy's mac counter after work.

 

[charismaticlime]

I went to the mall to check out the collection today, and honestly, I was quite disappointed. I went to a MAC counter hoping to get Big T and maybe even Eyepopping, but I left with nothing. Like someone else said before, Big T was quite chalky, not to mention matte, and looks just like Pompous Blue from the forum swatches (without the sparkles). If you have Bitter, it's not worth getting Eyepopping - I could hardly see enough of a difference between the two when I swatched them on my hand.

me too! i planned on buyin each shadow but i only felt that wondergrass and romping were the only two worth getting. the others can be easily duped. it made me a little sad. the MA's were like, omg he isnt all excited. hopefully rushmetal/flashtronic will be better! however i fell in love with the lipgelees ill go back to buy some next week.

and as for making the colors pop. i have used a small amount of all over gloss on my entire lid, and then pat the shadow on top of it. it does leave a crease after a few hours though. but it makes the colors stand out and leaves a nice shine!

How does Going Bananas compare to Spring Up from Culturebloom?

 

[KeshieShimmer]

I didn't like Going Bananas I was expecting a yellow shadow and I got some golden colored one. I mean it was very pretty, but me want yellow. I'm holding out until that pro colors come out next week. Blast O' Blue made me look dead. It looked ok layered with Orchidazzle and mega lipgelee'. But still I just saveed me 14 dollars!!!

haha

This is good to know. I was expecting a true yellow from Going Bananas!

I feel the same about this collection. I doubt I'd use any of the eye shadows (I'm a neutral type of gal) so I passed on them. Oh well!

Glad everyone else is having fun with it though!

Since the release date was moved up to today (Weds 6/13) at my f/s store, I popped in tonight. Blast O' Blue was already sold out (thankfully my fave MA put one on hold for me!) and I got the second to last Pomposity. I'm not sure how many of each they originally got in though.

 

[duch3ss25]

I went to get my C-shock today and I was sooo disappointed. I only got Romping, Wondergrass and Big T plus the blue l/s, meh. The e/s were very hard to blend and chalky even after I've used paint for base. I tried really hard to like them too (especially Going Bananas) and spent a good half hour to test them out but this collection was just a disappointment to me

Got a 188 brush and afterdusk blush back-up instead. Guess, it's a big yiiiiippppeee for my wallet and for flashtronic too!

 

[CrystalStars]

How close is Romping to something like bright fuschia pigment?

 

[karinaf]

Got my haul! I got all the eyeshadows except passionate, and then I am going back for an event on the 23rd and will probably buy the lilac and peachy coloured lip gelees and passionate. Purdy!

It doesnt look that similar on skin, however, romping is really similar (like, almost cant tell the difference) to floral fantasy from Strange Hybrid. Its almost like they just switched labels.

This makes me glad that I bought[online] only lip products!
Since bright shadows don't flatter my bright green eyes, I wasn't that stoked about the C Shock shadows to begin with, but I loove wearing bright lips.

 

[MAC_Whore]

Picked up my C-Shock haul today. It's official, Lil' Sizzler Lipgelee is the same as Ambient Lipgelee. I laid them out side-by-side on the counter. Couldn't tell a differnce between the two in that light.

BTW, I saw Novel Twist pics. Yawn. Seen it all before.
