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

Thanks Erine! I am so screwed. Luckily I have a $100 g/c from Macy's. I'll get my MSFs there. I also have 1 set for Back to Mac, so that leaves me to purchase the cheapest combo of 5 lip/eye products. Oy.

MSF
All of 'em.
Lipsticks
B-Babe and What a do.
Lipgloss
Strawberry Blonde and Red Devil.
Eyeshadows
Flip, Henna, French Cuff

I will probably take my so ceylon with me to compare. Instead of ordering on line, I am going into the store, but with everyone waiting on this collection maybe I should just go online, oh, what to do, what to do

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

This is not-so-exciting now that we just got swatches, but I did a preview/review on Youtube today (from when I got a peek at the testers in the store)

And yay some of my descriptions match up with Erin's

Also talked about the new brushes:

i think they pretty much get all the major collections early, so i'm gonna say yes. but don't quote me on that.

exactly stv578!!! they are the exact same minus the the blue tint that KD has. this is a true grey.




oh, and for those of you wondering about quick tease and pop mode? take the gold outta pop mode and you've got quick tease. they look identical in the tube, but the absence of the gold is noticable on the skin.

aaand, love nectar and prrr got a bit kinky and popped out live and dye!

what you do expect with names like love nectar and prrr.

I can now safely remove Flip from my list, and confirm Knight's place in the wish-list.

Would the Brunette MSF work for someone paler than NW15? I wasn't going to get any but now I want one.

I'm liking the looks of Blonde msf, but i have a lot of pink-ish blushes already. So i cant really justify getting it.
And i agree, Redhead looks so pretty. I'm hoping it can give me the warm flush (i'm NC25 btw).

Erine

I was trying to get more blue out of it SO badly, I wanted it to be as good as Deep Truth,,, but several layers and it was still dull and closer to black... more like Contrast, methinks?

You were trying so hard because we want a new blue e/s, that isn't in p/g form (naval blue, blue storm).

explain to me 100 strokes again, I think I am falling in love here with an e/s.
This is how I hear it in my head:

a mix of cocomotion and vintage gold. it definately is more green, tho the description mentions nothing of green.

i agree. its the same color as contrast, minus the sparkley bits. contrast is soooo much better. you've gotta layer deep shade to get some opacity, which you don't with contrast. skip it and get contrast.
