Disapointed with new MSF

Re: The new Shimpagne looks like Shooting Star

I thought the same thing, too. I was in the Destin, FL store a couple of weeks ago and they had the shimpagne w/the Danse display -- I guess to offer it as a replacement for lightscapade since it had sold out. And my reaction was that it looked just like shooting star. So I asked the MA if it was shimpagne and she said it was...mmmm

Re: The new Shimpagne looks like Shooting Star

What...?!
I can't pull off Shooting Star, it's too dark for me!

There goes my hopes for getting Shimpagne from this collection...!

Re: The new Shimpagne looks like Shooting Star

well personally I prefer Shooting Star so that's better news for me! Although I did just get a backup on E-bay haha. Go figure!

Re: The new Shimpagne looks like Shooting Star

I have backups of shimpagne (lol) so I'm not planning on getting any more anyways, but this is bad news for those who wants one.

Has this happened with other MAC products? I don't understand why they would release shimpagne that looks like a shooting star. it would be fair to us consumers if they were to release items correctly without confusing us like this...

Re: The new Shimpagne looks like Shooting Star

I have found that my earlier MAC items are much higher quality and more pigmented, especially eyeshadows and pigments. I find with later products I have to use much more product to get the same result. Also, even when you buy new products from what you had before, the color is not always exactly the same. For example, my Fetish lipsticks were never the same as the first 3 tubes I had. Same with Club eyeshadow and Blue pigment.

Re: The new Shimpagne looks like Shooting Star

i was very concerned about this since i am relying on this upcoming release to get me a backup of shimpagne, so i asked in livechat.

the livechat girl said "Shimpagne will be the same beautiful shades it's always been."

i really hope this is true. i may have to bring in my shimpagne to judge for myself

Re: The new Shimpagne looks like Shooting Star

Oh my, I was considering getting it but if it really looks like Shooting Star I have to pass.

Re: The new Shimpagne looks like Shooting Star

Does it physically appear darker in the pan (or the same), but the difference everyone is seeing is when it is APPLIED? Huh?? I'm confused

it looked darker in the pan and definitly darker on my hand. my shimpage is a light beige and almost only shimmer without adding really color. the new shimpage looked like a little lighter version of shooting star but definitly bronzey

Re: The new Shimpagne looks like Shooting Star

diskordia, i got a shimpagne with the A Muse collection and i really hate it because it comes out frosty on my NC30-35 skin due to the silver shimmers. do you think the new shimpagne would be better for me or does it still have silver in it?

Re: The new Shimpagne looks like Shooting Star

^ If it is a lighter version of Shooting Star, I may pick it up too. I hated Shimpagne, a frosty grease-slick version of an msf, but I loved Shooting Star. If the new Shimpagne doesn't have that grease-slick shine going on, I will probably pick one up. Please let us know.

Re: The new Shimpagne looks like Shooting Star

i missed shooting star when it first cameouy, do u think it would look good on me? I'm Hyperreal foundation 300!!

Re: The new Shimpagne looks like Shooting Star

I hope this isn't true. I am too fair to pull off bronzers and have been looking forward to Shimpagne being re-released.

I totally agree! It's so hard to see the colour because the glow was almost pure silver white when I swatched it, haha. But if it is slightly lighter than Shooting Star - then I'm sure I will love it. I've been looking for a bronzer (but not as dark as Shooting Star) anyway!

if you didnt *actually* see a label, then it probably was shooting star

Re: The new Shimpagne looks like Shooting Star

yeah... i don't see why they would put out an UNreleased shimpagne.. it was probably a left over shooting star and maybe the MA was confused. who knows? well, it could also be that it was shimpagne but it had more of the darker veins. i have two shimpagnes and one is darker b/c of the veining. ::shrug::

Re: The new Shimpagne looks like Shooting Star

Yeah I just now bought a new Shimpaigne,.. It didnt look as frosty silver as my current one does,.. more of a frosty gold and just a tad darker. Not nearly as dark as my shooting star,... Kinda in between. I wonder if that is why the website seems to be delayed on getting them up for ordering? An accident with the ones already sent out?? My original shimpaigne did not have any veining in it and for sure this one has gold veins.

 

[queenofdisaster]

Re: The new Shimpagne looks like Shooting Star

hmm, weird. well, i guess it's not so much of a bad thing, i love gold veining. hehe.

well shoot, now I'm actually interested in it.

This sounds so much better than the Shimpagne they released in the past.
