MAC - Colour Forms Discussion

[imperfectbeauty]

They charged my card with out calling and telling me and ahead of time none the less. They charged it on the 16th a day before i called in to ask when i would be able to pick my things up. Last time i pre-ordered i received a call and even though i didn't pick up the MA left a message so that i would know. *sigh* I didn't get a chance to deposit some money into my checking so i wouldn't overdraft but that's what ended up happening.

oh well but i am happy that i will be able to pick up my things soon...hopefully this saturday!!

So what are the must have products for the ones that have gotten this collection. Any raves for the color forms powders? I have been trying to avoid this collection but so far I think that pop circle and tea time pigment are on my list. I can't wait for the reviews to start pouring in.

Yay! Got my stuff today! I can't wait to play! Got a brush set, the green one! And the Warm eyes palette!

Royal Flush is GORGEOUS. But there's a red in the palette that is almost the exact same color, just less shimmer, so I skipped.

Gilded green is BEAUTIFUL. But I couldn't justify getting it. But it's a beautiful neutral green, not too yellow of a green or too blue. It's just right. And shimmery!

The lippies weren't special to be honest. I don't think Pop Circle Would have shown up on me. The burgundy one was blah. Inner Hue is like Sweet Tooth in color. And Naked to the Core IS pretty, but I didn't get it due to it being shorter. Heh, the excuses I come up with to save money...

I didn't even test Royal Flush, but the raves were slowly getting to me! However, I did get the palette, so thanks for that comparison. I'm good now!

Yes, I was almost set on getting Royal Flush, but then it hit me to swatch the red in the palette next to Royal Flush. It's maybe a shade or two darker (the palette) and less frosty, other than that, it's almost a dead ringer for Royal Flush. At least on my skin. And my friend who was with me, agreed as well.

I went to nordstrom today, and within 3 hours of it opening they sold of of gilded green pigment!!! i got the last one! Its really pretty

Err there were 100 people at the mac counter in nordstrom, since nordstrom was having like a huge 40-60% of sale and mac is right next to all the shoes. =___=

I braved the crowds this evening to pick up my pre-order. I love the warm eyes pallatte. It is absolutely gorgeous! Tancentric is such a pretty neutral. Rustic & fertile are great together in the crease.

Is anybody else surprised by Royal Flush? It seemed very much like a frosty reddish almost-burgandy color in all the swatches I've seen but it's more of a copper shade.
I was actually really disappointed because I have Milani Flame (supposed to be a Coppering dupe) and just picked up Jesse's Girl Eye Dust in Rouge Flambe which ended up looking almost exactly like it, and now Royal Flush also looks nearly exactly like it.

That sucks so much!!! So sorry that happened! I have preordered things from Nordstrom 3 times before and they have never called to confirm though. They've always just gone ahead and done it. =/

Nordstrom was a NIGHTMARE. It took me 10 minutes to get my Lancome preorder. One of my clients at work said that it was almost like half of Seattle was in there.

As far as the preorder, what I do is I figure out the price of the items I want, then add in the tax, and take it out of my check register then-so write it as having already been bought. I do it when I actually make my preorder, so I don't overspend. Works like a charm for me and helps me stick to budgets.

I totally agree with that. I put them side by side and almost the same. I got them both anyway after I said I was not getting palletes!! I saw them again and

I knowwww!! Majorly!! lol. Strange...my MA calls me to confirm and i actually like it that way because sometimes collections come out earlier then they are supposed to so it's nice to know when they are charging my card rather then get a surprise.

 

[exoticarbcqen]

my store was already out of MORE THEN HALF OF THE COLLECTION!!! wth
I mean is this collection really all that?!?!?!? I didnt think so, I just had my friend pick me up both of the powder blushes. [the last ones in the stores according to the MUA]

I mean preorders for this collection have been going on for two months now. Also, it's very wearable, it appeals to the general public who isn't as much into the fun stuff as we are. I mean I know eventually some things will make their way to the CCO's but the fact that it's been Colour Forms as the mindset for awhile has helped. Also today is the day where most people will hit the sale. I know that my counter has not sold out of a single item in Sonic Chic or Electroflash.

This will keep your brushes clean, cut down on bacteria, removes the color...AND, you can use your brush for a different color right away instead of waiting for it to dry because of water. HTH

I am more than convinced to get my first brush set!!

And I will get the brush sets from Red She Said as well. If you have six sets and love them, I will, too!

I want the powders. I know I will regret it later if I pass them. I wear powder and blushj every day. I think I will use these like my BPs!

Thanks, I will give them a try. I always wanted another 275.
Probably the only thing I get from this collection. If I can get them at all

The brush sets will be available at every German counter on August 2nd, also the palettes. The rest of the collection will just be available at selected locations.
