MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion

[ABB113]

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

I ran to MAC to be there the second they opened the doors and I was greeted with the lovely BBR display. I swatched everything and ended up with all of the lipsticks except for the brunette ones (even though I am a brunette....but very fair skinned), redhead and blonde MSF's, all of the shadows except for Deep Shade, and all of the lipglasses except for Peroxide. Yes, this was a huge haul for me, but 1) I'm just recently becoming a MAC addict so I don't have a lot...especially shadows not in palettes, 2) I still had birthday money saved up, and 3) I haven't done really any shopping lately (my family doesn't do holiday gifts so I saved some money there...) Soooo, this was a big treat (and I was looking forward to this so much)!!!!

P.S. Oops! Almost forgot the 226! Excited about this one....
P.P.S. I posted a few times before this, but I never really introduced myself. I'm Amy, and I'm pretty new here....about 3 months....

Hey amy, nice to meet ya!

Why was it that you didn't get peroxide? Im wondering about that lipgloss.... but I didnt know if it was too sheen??

On a side note, I adore when people post for the first time "Hi im so-in-so and ive been lurking here for 34 years... just wanted to say hey!"

(so not a diss to you, amy... dont take it that way.. haha)

I dont know about all of you but the second I found this site, I think i lurked for like a day and 1/2 then I HAD to post something. LOL

Can anyone compare Redhead and brunette MSFs to Stereo Rose? How close are to Stereo Rose's pigmentation??

^^ I was talking with my ma yesterday and she said it's more finely milled and not the chunky glitter stuff like the others...one of them had it on and OMG! yeah gorgeous

Ok, really, though, lurking? I just dove right in! I never introduced myself.

I'm cool like that.

Hi Amy!

I have a grocery bag full of empties and I'm ready to swatch it up. My chauffeur should be here any minute. I've totally gone all out getting ready today.... oh yes... tying my hair up without brushing it, only a swipe of concealer over my fresh breakout and some powder, along with a swipe of mascara. Hotttt.

Damn my chauffeur for running late!

I still lurk! Actually, I lurked for like a year before i said anything! (Shy, even online!)

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

I didn't lurk either

Back to topic... I use my Petticoat every day over blush or as a highlight, and that's what I intend to use my Blonde (and I'll probably get Redhead) MSF for. I get called pretty, beautiful and doll-like (huh?) when I wear my Petticoat. I loooooooove the compliments so I'm loving MSF's!!

Hello Kitty will be released to you guys in the US around the same time as BBR is released over here in the UK, so I'm hoping that HK really is as bad as what the official pictures make it out to be, so I can spend more on BBR

I'm really impressed with this collection.

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

Hey AdlersMommy! I ended up not getting Peroxide because though it was really pretty, I thought it was kind of light (I have a lot of sheer glosses..) And, I didn't want to get EVERYTHING.....just most of it LOL.

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

Hmmm, mac during lunch or mac after work?

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

During lunch! No way would I be able to wait all day

I think I need Peroxide because of the name too.

Plus I'm blonde, so I feel like I need everything in that category..

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

Food can wait

Lol...I was originally looking at peroxide but decided on live and dye instead as it is just slightly more pink and got RAVE reviews

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

So I was torn up over what MSF's I should get cause I'm only getting two, and a few posters were saying how Redhead was definitely worth getting...SOOOO..I was trying to decide which one to take off my list, Blonde MSF or Brunette MSF...soooo...I think I'm getting rid of Brunette....i dunno...do blonde and redhead msf's look similar? If I get one, should I be getting the other..or picking on of those to go with the Brunette...haha..apparently I am still more confused about it then I thought I was...well I still have until tomorrow when it comes out online...help me out!!!

I joined back in 07, but just within the past 4 months or so started posting. I just had to jump in (I'm pretty shy too).

I have been a serious make-up fan for 25 years but only begain collecting when I found MAC about 3 years ago.

You guys are pretty intimidating with all your knowledge and fab FOTD's and tutorials, I just didn't think I had much to offer :shrug:

Anyway, I'm here now

blonde and redhead are NOTHING alike, and both must haves IMO. THe brunette is pretty too, but if I had to let one go it'd be that one. Keep the Redhead for sure!

Welcome! And don't forget everyone was a rookie once. Noone was born with knowledge. You can be born with the skill but not with knowledge

And some of us just pretend we're not rookies anymore
