MAC - Colour Craft Discussion

[Susanne]

Ok, I am back from my counter

I got Smooth Merge, Crazy Haute and the 131. These three are my highlights of the collection!!

Smooth Merge is definitely my fave MSF of Colour Craft. It gives an awesome pink-raspberry-golden sheen on my cheeks and has a reat colour pay-off! I even like it better than Blonde. It is worth getting it because of the raspberry strip in the middle!
The other MSFs did not impress me that much. They were not unique enough for me. Maybe because I already have a few which I all like

Warm Blend was already sold out BTW after one day.

The blushes reminded me to the ones from Grand Duos - Daft Pink is the prettiest one for me!! But they are not so soft and buttery like the ones from Sonic Chic I think, I passed them all.
If you have missed Sonic Chic, take a closer look at them!

The MES disappointed me a little bit. I still love the older MES from Electroflash or Rushmetal, they were great colours and had that typical mineralized veining. I miss this veining in the new MES, they look like e/s quads in baked form for me. And they are not bright enough for me

I will wait to get new e/s with Love That Look and the fall collections.

I LOVE the lipglasses!! OMG, they are the best part of the collection and such a positive surprise!

They have a rich, smooth, very pigmented texture and are not too sticky!! Such a great colour pay-off! You don't need to mix them together before applying - you always get an awesome shade at once.
My faves are Crazy Haute, Funky Fusion and Eclectic Edge - I just bought one but I love all three. An amazing new texture from MAC. Hope to see more of them in the future.
Go and try at least one!

I am totally convinced with the new 131. It is smaller than I had expected it, but perfect to apply MSFs or blushes. You have a lot of varieties to handle it I think. And it is so soft! I wish MAC would make a 224 version now!!
All three brushes - 109, 131 and 226 - are totally worth getting them!!

All in all a small but very satisfying haul for me. I am glad I did not pass these three things.

I really hope that MAC will make more duo fibre brushes now! I would love to see duo fibre eye brushes.

I really really want Smooth Merge now. I will probably skip others too, and wait a little for lipglosses. SMOOTH MERGE WILL BE MINE

Thanks Susanne for your great review

and because of it i'm getting the 131 you made it sound so

A question if you don't mind is Smooth Merge metallicy? is it close to Petticoat? are you NC30 now? because I am and I would love to see it on a NC30 face "hint hint, wink wink". A final question did you see Sunny by Nature and what did you think of it?? TIA

^ I so agree! I only swatched SM & TF because they were the only unique ones to me.

Those were my fave 3 glosses! I think the glosses & Smooth Merge may be the hit of the collection.

That was a nice haul Susanne!

 

[Liya2007]

Sooo Excited

No CC is not here (hell even style warriors isn't here yet

) anyways the next best thing is out SephoraJunkie CC haul is on Youtube

I am between NC 25 and NC 30 right now. I don't think Smooth Merge is metallicy, it has a pretty golden sheen - I will take pics tomorrow

Yes, I saw Sunny By Nature - I would pick up Warm Blend if I had to choose a bronze shade. Just my opinion

You will love the 131!

Dear God,

I would like to put my bid in for 47, 50, 52 and beyond because these women make it seem hot, healthy and fabulous.

I will be 36 on July 14th and I swear I haven't been happier since I turned 30.

I have wrangled a 1hr road trip to the CCO this weekend from the hubby for this grand occasion with his money
