I don't think I'm feeling the MCQUEEN collection

[lipshock]

I love, love this collection.

But then again, I love my brights ... but really these colours can be toned down and incorporated into such pretty, soft, "prom-ish) looks.

From this collection I have: Electro Sky p/p, Nile e/s, Masque l/s, and New Vegas MSF, Otherwordly p/p and Haunting e/s and Archetype l/s. Some were received in gratis (thankfully that included New Vegas because I was really unsure about this one -- me and MSFs just don't get along) and others were bought (because I loved them that much). Absolutely gorgeous colours! Cannot wait to come up with some looks with these.

So what's the thoughts on the MSF? I got shooting star because I got caught up now, yeah don't use it at.all.

I was going to buy the three paint pots though, I have nothing like them in my collection.

where are you from because all mac store locations got this collection


and i loved this launch it is so delicious

the paint pots are insane and the msf is great because it is actually gold

I'm really curious for you ladies of darker skintones, how do the lippies look on you?

I'm from Ottawa. We did actually get the collection. I bought one of the eye kohls (black karat, I think - so pretty), and New Vegas. I'm really excited about getting my first msf, but not quite sure what all of its uses are!

i ended up getting archetype and new vegas and I love archetype. i loved the subtle gold it gives off on my lips...keep in mind i only swip it across my lips once!! and the new vegas is very glittery to me, but not chunky like Naked You. I'm gonna try it with my fix+ and see how it shows up them. I think it'd be beautiful as an eyeshadow wash for a light airy look!!! I also wanted black karat but i felt as if I could get the same look but using my liquid liner w/ carbon and a gold/copper shadow/piggment of choice!!

With the right lipliner (and gloss if you don't like matte lips), they both looked great! I love them both!

Yup I did. I ended up with New Vegas. It's just a subtle gold shimmer, works well for night looks plus it looks really pretty in it's pot, which isn't much of a reason to buy anything, but it's a nice color on too. I also got Nile/Electro Sky Haunting/Otherworldly eye shadows/paint pots. I passed on the Pagan/Pharoh because I figured Bitter would look as good or better. Also, Pharoh was sold out when I got there, and because I can use Chartru paint as a base for Bitter. Plus, I think Nile and Haunting can be worn together,but I wouldn't pair Pagan with either of the two shadows. I was surprised that the colors weren't chalky. They are pale but bright at the same time. Hard to explain, but I wore Electro Sky, Nile, Bang on Blue and Fade together today and I thought it was cute. I forgot to check out the eye liners. I might give them look see next time, but I don't really need liners, nor am I extremely excited about them, espcecially with Antiqutease (sp) coming out this week.

I have not purchased anything from this collection and I don't think I will. It's just not me.

I planned on getting the MSF just because I wanted to add to my collection and for some reason thought it would be dark but I was wrong , it is lovely. Masque lipstick is very nice but I do not care for the 2 eye pencils. I am skipping the holiday collection and waiting for the originals to come out.

I worked the event this week, and honestly, McQueen isn't as boring as I forcasted. We all wore Nile e/s on the lid with the matching paint pot, and it looked really, really pretty! The lippies are pretty as well, and New Vegas, if used sparingly, is gorgeous as well!! So, I may buy a few things from this collection after all..

 

[FacesbyNiki]

Love the shadows and paint pots.

 

[MsCuppyCakes]

I looked at this collection this weekend and feel the same - blah. Hopefully some of the upcoming collections will entice me.

New Vegas MSF is now my best friend. I guess I got lucky because mine is not glittery or chunky at all. I applied with my 168 brush (tapped off excess of course) just above my cheekbones as a highlight and I got this beautiful gold shimmer! I couldn't believe it actually. I found myself staring in the mirror because I've never had a highlight look so good. I am debating on getting a second because I think I'll be using this every day.

I actually took pictures of me wearing it but they came out ugly but in my next FOTD you can bet that New Vegas will be present.

On Saturday I picked up the Otherworldly Paint Pot, Haunting e/s and Masque l/s. I've been thinking about the collection ever since I last saw it. I'm NC-50 with black hair and I like this collection a lot. More than I thought I would. I would like to go back for everything in the rest of the collection except the Nile and Pagan shadows.

Yesterday I wore the Otherworldy and Haunting on my lids with Bateau in the crease and Ricepaper on the browbones. It was really pretty. My daughter was in a bad mood and didn't feel like taking a picture. Maybe she'll be in a better mood next time I wear it.

I also forgot to look at the pencils because I got a little sidetracked.

 

[AfricanaEyes]

I'm not diggin' this collection either. I mean....the paint pots and shadows are just okayyyy to me. I doubt I'd really ever wear them if I purchased them. The lippies seem boring but the kohl pencils are fab. I just wish those mofos were waterproof!

 

[NLoveW630]

I have a question, does Haunting looks like Hipnotique?

 

[xolovinyoo]

its ugly and to pastely

 

[Danapotter]

two thumbs down for this collection. period.

 

[nunu]
