Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)
Ok...here is my haul...and I'm proud to announce that I DID NOT purchase any backups. Everything you guys were saying was going through my head. I kept chanting "there is no point to buying backups because soon there will be another new collection and I will want to buy something from that".
I got-
Brunette MSF
Blonde MSF (very pretty...I know I will love this)
Redhead MSF (I would have thought blonde would be my favorite but I have to agree with others that this MSF is the standout of the collection)
French Cuff E/S (I currently don't own anything like this and all the other colors were either comparable to shades I already own or I had a feeling I wouldn't get too much use out of them)
What A Do L/S- very nice pearly nude pink...I can never pass up a nude pink lippie
Soft Wave Lipglass- now from early swatches I thought this was going to be a tan shade and I was surprised that it actually has more pink than brown in it. It's very muted and is one shade that will look great on a lot of people. Now that being said...once I got home it reminds me a lot of Major Minor Lipglass that was released this past summer. However for some reason I find Major Minor tackier than most of my lipglasses for some reason and Soft Wave seems to have a nicer texture.
I was going to buy Blow Dry L/S...but once again it's great to see something in person as from the swatches I'd seen I thought it would be a pinky coral but it's definitely a true coral.
I love the collection! I'm glad with my purchases and can't wait to play with them! Yay!

Ok...they have it in and just aren't displaying it! I called Yorkdale before I left and the girl that answered the phone said they had it in and they just hadn't unpacked it yet. so she said to hold on and she would ask when they would have it out. She came back and said that they didn't have it in and that they were still doing inventory but to call back tomorrow or Saturday to make sure they received the shipment. Those little buggars! I bet they have it but just want to finish their inventory before taking it out! I thought it was odd but let it go...I should have just gone there. I live mere minutes from Yorkdale and Square One isn't too far but still...it took like 20 minutes on the highway to get there! So wrong!
Sorry about your flat tire. That sucks! But at least your man was near! God I hate flat tires...

But then a co-worker came over to show off her new lipstick, and I was looking at it thinking, "that looks really familiar". She said it was from the new collection... she was wearing What a Do! and she got it from Yorkdale along with the Redhead MSF!!! WTF? So I was a little annoyed because of the extra distance i went. But everything happens for a reason, because i realized once at the mall that one of my tires was almost flat and DH works in Scarborough so he came to rescue me!!! And that is my BBR story folks! |

Completely different. Red Devil is a bright coral and CoC is a pinky red. Both are nicely pigmented. Red Devil will absolutely stand nicely on its own as a lip colour.

nooooo...I wanted to, but I ended up stopping at Bayshore on my way back to the office from a meeting I had in the West End. It was actually pretty good timing coz I got there at noon and they had just finished putting up the display
I'm actually scared of going to the Market with all the snow and traffic and stupid OC Transpo not running
I have some empties but I will wait till Hello Kitty to cash in. Hopefull by then this crazy Ottawa bus/parking situation will be resolved *crosses fingers*

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)
My review on NC50 SKIN:
Brunette MSF0-gorgeous sunkissed color, swatched next to Ceylon and completely different. Redhead-just a hight color I have trace gold and that is the same to me. Blonde Msf-gorgeous but on my skin it is just petticoat without the obvious shiny.
Flip e/s-gorgeious yellow/orange gold. Don't know how anyone with a lot yellow tones (asian) could pull it off.
Henna is sumputuous olive but has more gold in and you could tell on my skin but not enough for me to buy it full price, def. CCO material
100 Stokes-Like Sketch, BeautyMarked and Handwritten melded together, MUST HAVE.
MAC should be shot for Knight, Top Knot and Deep Shade, all the negative reviews are warrented except for knight because it is knight divine, really.
Soft Wave is good, kind of like the two nude taupes that came out Chill and some other collection recently.
Live and Dye is to die for really, it looks like purr and peroxide mixed together.
Quick Tease is pop mode without the obvious gold.
Strawberry Blond is pretty will go well All's Fair is a sheer deep raspberry pink (which is very pretty but just is Partmate l/s from naught collection) but I will B2M for it.
Peroxide-blah. If you have Out for Fun, or Dreamy, you won't need this because it is the same.
Lippies
What A do is just to frosty to be a neutral a frosty neutral mess if you consider that neutral.
Chignon-is pretty for a dark tone nc55 sheer burgundy/plum but if you Stange and Exotic, whatev.
B-Babe-dupable frostiness really is going to look good on blondes like Susanne.
All's Fair- love it. Sheer raspberry pink, you can just throw on with some blush like DollyMix and you will be set.
Blow Dry and Marquise are sheer and if you want neutrals, I can see them selling to people who like that like me. Will probably b2m one of them.
Must have #226, gottsa to have it, for smaller lids to get that crease.
214 very nice and if you do smokey eyes a lot, MUST have
165-if you have 168 or 116 don't need will probably find in the CCO.
So in the end, I got
Brunette MSF, Flip, 100 Strokes, #226 but tempted to get 214, B2M (Syrup, HoneyFlower, Ravishing (to go with Heatherett Sock Hop and VGV).

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)
I have a question about b-babe
It's a frost, but is it a frosty frost like tanarama and smile (those are both really scary on me) or a good frost like angel (which doesn't seem anything like the first two to me)
thanks!

I don't have any of those, but B-Babe is definitely frosty. Too much frost for my taste.

Wowww...Redhead MSF = <3
Seriously. I would buy 5 of them if I ever though I would use them all. If I was rich I would buy one for everyone I know so I could share this beautiful color, that's how much I love it.

I just thought I know why I don't like B-Babe after my initial thinking it going to do well. It looks like you can just pick it up from drugstore or pay 14 for NYX $1 lipsticks and you will bound to hit one that looks like it

So b-babe is lighter than angel but much much frostier?
one more question - does pincurl have any blue-ish sheen to it? or is it mainly grey and pink?
