MAC By Request discussion

[Copperhead]

You know what? I have one that I grabbed to be my 50% off item in the last BOGO 1/2 NYX sale they had at Ulta and I haven't used it yet. I may have to try it out soon because it looks gorgeous on you copperhead! You may have just saved me from going nuts waiting for the next restock of CYY.

That's not me.

I hope she doesn't mind me using her pic though. I thought it looked great on her so I posted it.

I just hope that MAC will release future collection in a "normal" way (whatever that is in MAC terms), but three items every three days is annoying as you still have to stalk each time even if you only want a few products. The likelihood that MAC will release the e/s early is still a possibility.

Yes is totally annoying, and I'm worried I won't get the e/s I want (tmoth brown) if it's the same as these last few restocks! I feel pretty sad about missing moxie...to the point I might resort to evilbay...but I reaaaally don't want to do that if I don't have to. I am hoping they restock the lipsticks when they put out the e/s but I also don't want to get my hopes up since the mac customer service on phone and the live chat person both said it's not gonna happen!

Jete all over lid and below bottom lashes. Painterly as base. Dark Brown Palladio liner with Nars Bali smudged over it.

I don't know my skintone in MAC. Guessing NC15-20. In BE I mix Fairly Light with Light. Fairly Light is too chalky and light and Light is a little too yellow. HTH.

Is it me or does DD and the new CYY look identical.

I noticed that too! DD might be slightly warmer but not enough to matter much.

Finally broke down and bought all three lipglasses. I don't remember what my justification was... lol but oh well!

Still waiting for my rocker too ... and for another restock of Moxie that probably won't come.

Then, onto the eyeshadows!!

My roommates are going to think I've lost it when three different mac packages come to the apartment within two weeks!!!!

Asos is having a 20% off sale right now and you can use the code New20 on the Barry M lipstick in Shocking Pink(Old CYY dupe). They have free shipping too!

Moxie turned out very pink on me, not as red as I expected. I guess skin tone can make a big difference. Rocker looks like Diva but with micro glitter.

THX!!! I was wondering about that! I have and love Diva. Plus Dark Side & Dark Deed - some of my favorite vampy shades!

When I opened my box yesterday, that's what I thought as well. Diva was my first MAC lipstick because Lisa Nicole Carson (Ally McBeal, Love Jones) wore it and it looked so amazing on her. She has big hair like me and is the same skintone as I am so I KNEW I was gonna look hot, LOL. It turned a blind first date into a 4 yr relationship so....

candy yum yum (new)
nyx matte shocking pink

milani rose hip

Thanks for posting this! I have the NYX one and it seems to be a tad more purple-pink in your swatch than the new CYY. Milani Rose Hip looks darn close (maybe a tinge darker) despite the difference in finish. I wonder if any of the newer WnW pink MegaLasts are close to the original CYY...

Try Dollhouse Pink.

Love the freckles! They're adorable!

So I wanted to show a friend Rocker on just to show how gorgeous it is I think this is the underdog here anyways I figured I shared with all of you, by the way I have nothing on my face but the lipstick so excuse the closeup of my freckles

 

[cocofiere]

Wow, I haven't heard about people getting the wrong lipsticks! I'll be sad if I don't get my hands on Candy Yum Yum, even though I have dupes from Milani and Maybelline. I do wish they had extra stock, though I'm pretty sure they do and the "sold out" thing is just a way to get people to purchase the not sold out items. I've been pretty loyal to MAC since 2007, but I wish they would change some of their business practices. They knew that CYY would be popular. I guarantee they have interns going through Livejournal, Ebay, and Specktra to see what's popular and coveted.

What's the Maybelline dupe? Their Color Sensational lippies have been a win for me lately and they're always on sale somewhere. Do tell...

I hope she doesn't mind me using her pic but DHP looks great on her and it reminds me of CYY.

Also, here's how it looks on a darker skin toned woman.

Oh, Rocker and Heroine are going to be my fall lippies but it never feels like fall here. I am so jealous of the DC ladies. I miss seasons!!

Aww - I live outside of Baltimore and I love the changing of the seasons even though Summer's are brutal here - three H's: hazy, hot humid. I noticed the Hell Passo - too funny.

Sometimes Spring segues right into Summer and doesn't abate until October. Then its a mishmash of things until March. When March arrives you can take a deep breath and know that Spring is right around the corner.

You know I used to be afraid of reds I tho that they just wouldn't work for me and I tried Ruby Woo almost 2 years ago and have been wearing reds like a mad woman ever since

Thanks!

lolll definitely yayyy for backups I plan on wearing this lippie all the time!

Love RUBY - I've gone through 3 of them already! My absolute favorite red!

 

[Mac-Guy]

I have just asked Mac Uk and they said we're getting it in October. I'd be more inclined to believe them than someone in the US. However, she said we're not getting Ruffian at all. Hohum.

What? The UK is not getting Ruffian?

It's Maybelline Fuchsia Fever. I have the new version of CYY coming today so I'll swatch it against it later

 

[Fiberluver]

I just got FoF and CoC, will be here today. But you know most only really care about the lipsticks lol. Definitely get Rocker, looks awesome on our skintone.

Richelle,

THX! I've been reading through post & didn't know Rocker was a matte.

Just for that aspect, I was gonna get now. Now u said it is perfect for our skin tone. It's mine!

 

[cocofiere]

That does look pretty close! How's the texture? I love my cyy from quite cute, but yeah it's pretty drying. But all mattes get wonky on me. You def have to moisturize your lips. I always carry chapstick with me when i wear it, for touch ups.

The NYX Mattes don't seem to be as drying as most of the MAC ones (Ruby Woo, etc.) but I still use a lip balm underneath. If you've tried the WnW MegaLast lipsticks, they are comparable in texture and finish to me.

Thank you for that! I bought Shocking Pink and Peach (don't have a color like it in my arsenal yet)!
