MAC - Cham Pale Discussion

[laylalovesmac]

I can't stop looking at the swatches of Sin-Tillation and Luxure! These were the shades I was dreaming of!!! I'll be getting those two (with possible backups) and two Felines, and that should be it for this collection. The quad is lovely, but I only use mattes if I'm going for a subtle, neutral look.

Thanks for the link! Interesting to see what all this actually looks like. I do like the quad, so I think I shall be picking that up. Flustered is nice as well. Luxure seems to look different in this picture- quite gold. Might get that one or Sin-tillation. I do like the look of Bubble Lounge as well. So it stands to reason that I'll probably pick up at least one lip gelée. Dangerous Cuvée is back on my list and I also really like Let Me Pop from these swatches. But I can't see letting myself have more than one p/p and there are perfectly adequate coppery ones in the permanent line. I Get No Kick is nice. so that's a maybe. The shimmery powders don't do anything for me, especially after seeing the swatch of Play It Proper. Hm... swatches of this and Stylishly Yours are unfortunately making me increase my list. Bad Kate, baaaaaad Kate.

 

[Camnagem]

Well shit.

Why do I want the quad now?

I don't need it, I'm sure I can totally dupe the hell out of those colors, but yep...I totally want it. Figures.

Finally!!! I'm actually really excited for this collection, the soft champagne colors are perfect highlighters. I need to swatch on my skintone just to make sure they work but I think I need:
Gel lipstick (swatch Flustered)
Straight to the Head lipgelee (swatch Bubble Lounge)
Retrospeck pro refill
All 4 paint pots (though I may need to look at the perm colors- I don't own any & I might go overboard if I buy all 4)
I Get No Kick eye kohl
Feline kohl power
Chromagraphic pencil in NW25/NC30 (since I didn't pick one up with the papier collection)
swatch both highlight powders, though I'm pretty sure I won't be buying one
Fix+ Lavender (since I don't have any)
Lip Conditioner in either the clear or the neutral (probably the clear since "neutrals" usually aren't neutral on me)

Wow... plus all of the orange & red colors in Stylishly Yours... it's going to be a big Christmas list

 

[s_lost]

I

paint pots. Vintage Selection and Dangerous Cuvee are

Chilled on Ice looks like Bare Study (which I love, but really don't need a dupe).

 

[Ange1]

Yay! I want Get no kick pencil, and Straight to the end l/g! They look awesome!

Let me join your club, I love the swatches of Caviar Dreams, but I just want this one colour. Retrospeck is probably not going to look good on me.
And Dangerous Cuvee might be off the list as well, it looks too close ti Silver Leaf. Maybe new swatches will help, in those swatches it look very taupey (at least to me).

 

[martiangurll]

Does that chic in the promo look constipated to anyone else?

Back on topic, I think I want all the paint pots. Of course I am jumping on the Feline bandwagon and I get no Kick is looking lovely. I think I can pass on the lip gelee. I love the texture, but they look too glittery. I am down on glitter for the lips and up on glitter for the lids. Its probably a phaze though. Anyway, ima thinking using the Dangerous Cuvee PP with the Feline glitter to line is gonna look poppin'

Thank you for the link! And thank you to that blog!! Woooo!

Well, I was on the skip wagon until these pictures surfaced Now I am loving so many things, but know I won't be getting at least half of them! Haha. I have to remember, this collection is about frost, which I don't necessarily need, but it doesn't mean I don't want

Pretty and Possible:
Chilled on Ice p/p - very nice but maybe more frost than I'd like on my eye? I might prefer Bare Study.
Let Me Pop p/p - again, frosty?
Bubble Lounge l/g - love the colour! worried about frost...

Pretty but getting Pricey:
Caviar Dreams e/s - not getting a whole quad for that :/
I Get No Kick e/k - such a pretty colour but I Get No Use is more like it. Wait! - unless it was a tearduct colour

VIP n/p - why does it look like a tauped up silver in the bottle but just silver on the nails? If it is silver than I have $$$$$ Yes, which is close enough for me.

 

[User38]

lol

frost frost frost....

I am just stocking up on Feline, I already have a Fluster sample last rev., and all the paint pots are too glittery for my old haggard eyeballs.. lol

 

[User38]

Retrospeck = chunky, clunky glittery frost

 

[JennsJewelz]

Lol, HerGreyness, you crack me up

I am all about the frost - I will pull it off while I still can! My list has increased, although I feel like I'm still being good - only one item from SY! I'm pretending Peacocky isn't being released like 2 weeks later... it counts for the new year, not this year, right?

I'm sticking with my original wishes of Rose Ole, Bubble Lounge and Feline (x2), but now I'm adding Let Me Pop PP and Flustered l/s! *drools* oooh, I can't wait to get my hands on this stuff! *Wishing for tonnes of MAC giftcards/money for xmas....*!!!

 

[JennsJewelz]

Gah, and now I'm adding I Get No Kick! Must stop looking at swatches....

 

[PonDe]

Most welcome girlies!

I was hoping the beauty powders will be more finely milled.Seems quite gritty when swatched or perhaps cos its thickly swatched?

 

[lunadestella]

Thanks PonDe for the link!

I'm going to have to see more swatches before I have an actually list to go by but now I know I *have* to get 2 Felines and I Get No Kick. They look amazing! I've never tried a paint pot before but Chilled on Ice is beautiful. Sin-Tillation and Bubble Lounge look tempting and the lipsticks are just something I will have to personally test out before I buy. All in all I'm loving Cham Pale

Definitely getting:
1. Two Felines
2. I Get No Kick
3. Bubble Lounge

Maybe:
1. Sin-Tillation
2. Chilled on Ice (or one of the other paint pots if more swatches come out)
3. Flustered or Quiet, Please depending on how they look on my skin.

And my wallet goes ouch ...

 

[XicanaQueen]

I think I'm just going to purchase the Highlight Powder and the Fix+Lavender. Maybe if I would have seen some good/any swatches I would have been enticed to purchase more but MAC is really annoying not releasing their products to be reviewed on some collections.

 

[singer82]

Ooooooooooooooo swatches! Thanks soooooo much for that link Ponde!
My list is shorter than I thought it would be. More monies for Peacocky... sweeet

I'll be getting at least two of the lipglees, Bubble Lounge is a definate, not sure on the rest. I just love my Resort Life so I know I'll love these. I use it pretty much every day.
I Get No Kick eyekohl. I cant wait to use it on my bottom lashline and tearduct. Thats it, wow I'm pretty surprized! But I also plan on getting Lady Gaga with this haul before its gone. And probably gone romancin dcg since I lost it

MAYBE Feline. Not really sure yet, theres so many blacks liners out there. Plus it doesnt seem to have very good staying power. I have smolder e/k and it smears. I hate to have to look at my mirror all the time just to see if my liner smeared. BUT I also heard its an amzing liner so I'm torn. Thoughts?

The quad (I cant afford to get a quad mostly for caviar dreams and the other 3 colors are perm), polishes, and lipsticks are pretty dupeable to me. I have barestudy p/p and barely use it so no paintpots. The highlighters at first didnt know but then I found this and damn...I might like it...http://toomuchblush.blogspot.com/2010/11/mac-cham-pale-special-reserve-highlight.html crap lol

 

[shontay07108]

So after checking out the link, I want: I Get No Kick liner, Straight to the Head lipgelee, and maybe another Feline or two. I am going to skip the paint pot only because I don't even touch Coral Crepe anymore.

 

[LittleMaryJane]

I think only Dangerous Cuvee for me. Nice and simple. And cheap.

 

[Nzsallyb]

im warming to this collection. the quad looks ultra pretty, along with bubble lounge lip gelee, and quiet please l/s. thats wat i fancy!
