MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion

^^^I added it up...an MSF is around $37.86 including tax.
I've never owned any MSF's before this, so I might splurge on the Blonde one. It seems useful enough...

^ I know! 38$ is not worth it to me unless it's AMAZING.

this guy? very similar. the bristles are in a little different shape, but yep, its tiny like that. never used the LM one, so i don't know how the feel of it is in comparison.

but it looks more like this one from sephora

if you look at it on their site, look at the profile pic. the 214's profile is more tapered on the tip than this one's profile. all the new brushes are literally mini (and with this one mini wee-mee) versions of the ones i compared them to. literally!

i'll try and take pics of everything with my new camera friday and saturday and will post saturday night (working til close friday

)

i didn't get a chance to swatch em on my skin yet but those will be very pretty on darker skin tones (not sure what yours is). chignon is a glaze, so you're not gonna get alot of color payoff with that one.

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

My list as of today:

#226
#214
Henna e/s
Knight e/s
Pincurl e/s

Seems like a reasonable list to me now.

Okay...I'm a little confused (nothing new there!)...French Cuff is the so-called "ice pink", and not the "burgundy purple", right? How is the burgundy purple...(100 Strokes?)...and is that a frost?

Hello you all out there!! I hope you are all enjoying christmas if you celebrate

I could collect the first money for BBR now

And I am very excited about the new MSFs, the brushes and the lipglasses

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

Whoops.... Sorry Gals, I am excited about the brushes! Um yes *ditzy on christmas*

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

My list for this collection is absolutely -insane-. I'm afraid to add it all up to see how much it'll actually cost me...

 

[abbyquack]

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

Ok so I'm 95% sure I want Top Knot, 100 Strokes, Henna and Pincurl, and the 226. Maybe out 50% on the 165.... If it's super small I might not bother, but it looks like it might be handy for contouring.

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

I'm confused as to why the MSFs don't look like the other ones from past collections? These ones in this collection look like stripes of 4 different colors. How do you use that then???

These will be new MSFs, more like the Shimmerbricks from Bobbi Brown.

You can use every color alone as an e/s or as a blush or highlighter or all stripes swirled together!

not only does mac mislabel the shadows, but they also mislabel our update books. if you look at the swatches that i posted, i had an arrow at these two cuz i was confused. when i swatched em, i matched the names, but later noticed that the color descrips didn't match. those were messed up on mac's part.

100 strokes is the purple, and iirc, it isn't a frost like the book says. its really a velvet, but i can't be sure. the update for this collection was only two hours long, so i could only swatch on paper and not skin. i'll double check all the shadows tmrw at work.

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

I have the Laura Mercier Smudge Brush (as well as a similar brush from Smashbox), so I am thinking I can skip the 214.

But the 226 looks like it will be mine...

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

since knight e/s has already been released before, does anyone know how it compares to pandamonium e/s?

comparison swatches would be appreciated too

 

[Face2Mac]

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

The 226 looks like a good softer brush to cut the crease with because of the pointy tip, so def. a new must-have. I can cut my crease with the 219 and soften it with the 222 but that kinda of smears the line, so this is great, even if it a mini?

Didn't Stila have a brush something like this that was double-ended or something.

100 strokes is the es I didn't see when I looked at the collection this week.maybe that's why I don't remember seeing it,because it's not ice pink after all

That would make sense.Bad MAC

Thanks for clearing that up Erine.
