MAC - Colour Craft Discussion

[FantaZ]

I haven't bought MAC in several months.....this collection is calling me! I didn't know I could go this long without buying anything.

I'm a pink lippie fan but does anyone know if Colour Craft could be duped for? Would Creme Cup or Angel be pretty close? I'm looking for my HG pink lippie but I have pigmented lips so it never shows up "pink." I did a search but it sent me to this thread not a specific post.

I have the following pink lippies off the top of my head:
-15 Min
-Pure Rose
-Angel
-3N
-Fun Fun

^^ skip Colour Craft? I'm heading there tomorrow but I'm so antsy and impatient to play. Thanks in advance.

You're in this hole of a town too? LOL. I slept through it all this morning, I had gotten next to no sleep the three days prior. Husband said the rain was coming down sideways. Then I missed the evening storm while I was in the shower. I love thunderstorms, we haven't gotten many this year and I missed them today

^^Would you believe I'm chosing to vacation here? LOL

I got my makeover today and they were like what are you plans tonight, and my plans were maybe dinner and a movie if my friend called me (plans didn't pan out but watcha going to do!) . I was like "Being in Winnipeg IS the special ocasion". The rain was trippy where I'm from we get rain all fall, and lots of wind but not so much with the thunder and lightening. I was just thankful I wasn't driving, two years ago I took vacation in august, and rented a car, and was practicing my city driving and out of nowhere I was driving down portage and it felt like I was driving through a swimming pool, the windsheild wipers on max, and I still couldn't see anything except the blur of red taillights. For someone who is ues to driving on dirt roads with next to no traffic that was stresssful lol

So I was just thankful I was watching the storm from the comfort of indoors.

[allThingsGirl]

hi there!

can anyone compare these for me? (NC40)

- Blonde MSF vs. Daft Pink
- Metal Rock/Shimpagne/Gold Deposit vs. Warm Blend

I have the stuff on the left, but debating on getting Daft Pink and Warm Blend. Is it worth having the new stuff if I have the old stuff (and love)?

Thanks!

I was a good girl

(Kinda)

I only got 3 items from CC:
Smooth Merge
#226
Eccentricity (Looked awesome with Pearl CCB)

The other lipsticks were all pretty dupable so I had to pass lolz.
Some dupes off of my head:
Colour Crafted = Lightly applied St.Germain (So basically dabbing St.Germain on)
Trimming Talk = Girl About Town (VERY similar)
Made with Love = Speed Dial (pretty close)

then I bought more items from the perm line and one back up of Eversun from SW

Edit: Reference: NC25 in studio sculpt, C2 in Face & Body

NC25s, which of the blushes do you think that actually show up, and not being just a highlighter, which ones are your faves??

Smooth Merge.

That's my personal choice lolz. I guess it depends on your taste which kind of blush you like more. Coral or pink?

 

[Sophia84]

Which one is prettier Nice Mix Up l/g or the Queen Bee from Naked Honey??

^^ I will try to swatch Blonde VS Daft Pink either tonight or tomorrow. But I don't think they are anything alike. What did you get from this collection?


I'm glad to hear someone mention that Intenso and Style Demon are similar. I missed out on Intenso, and although the Grand Duos have been restocked, they are retailing for $44 here while the Color Craft MBs are only going for $37. So I might as well just pick up Style Demon instead.

Ok my piece of enabling, so I was playing with my stuff a second ago and I tried on Madly Creative lippie with Pretty Pattern lipglass the results...

It's like a browner-pink version of Lollipop Lovin I think! I'm not the best at these descriptions yet but it is friggin gorgeous! Pretty Pattern I noticed in my tube had some violet and green shimmer glitter things in it and it is sooooo pretty! So glad I got that one after all! Here's my pic with it on although it really does not do it any justice at all...:

The 224 is my fave blending brush - what am I doing wrong?

That makes sense!!

[shy_gal_jojo65]

i got the 131. yay!

i tried the 131 as a foundation brush and it's super awesome (for me that is). i think it's my new foundation brush. thinking about buying a second one since i'll be using it more frequently.

also got faddabulous and cheeky bronze.

thinking about going back for porcelain pink and daft pink.

 

[LMD84]

i asked hubby if he would buy me the 226 brush last night and he said that i always wreck surprises! and that he was going to treat me to it anyways! so yay i will be getting the 226 and very excited about it!

I always like to do the reverse, only because I don't want them to dry out as a result of the disinfecting ingredients in the MAC brush Cleanser, even though, it also has conditioners.

MAC Brush cleanser then Baby Shampoo/Pet Shampoo...yes...Pet Shampoo!

My natural hair brushes LOVE Pet Shampoo! I'm currently using Natures Choice Aloe Hypo "A". It's a hypoallergenic shampoo, also biodegradable and non-toxic, of course.

Ingredients include:
Aloe Vera, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Allantoin, Mild Shampoo Base Concentrate, Neutral pH Balanced.

I also condition my brushes with Pantene.

I, too, was hoping Daft Pink MB would be a suitable dupe for Blonde MSF, but the finely milled texture of Blonde is going to be tough to compete with. Why didn't I get Blonde???

Curious what you find Winnie.
