MAC Daphne Guinness Discussion

[cno64]

I originally intended to get Nebula, but its color looks so similar to that of Keep Your Cool Pro Longwear that I *may* be able to talk myself out of it.
Aurora looks pretty, but it seems kind of similar to Quarry, Style Snob, and Stila Grace, so I may be able to talk myself out of that one, as well.
Approaching Storm is still hanging tough, and the fact that I received a $25 MAC egift card this morning is not exactly strengthening my resolve.
The quad looks nice, but I think I've already got individual colors like those, and quads take up so much space ...

After seeing pics from the S3C3 collection I've cut down my lists for these next few collections dramatically, I think I'm going to stick with just Azalea Blossom and Aurora, I was hoping to get Seasoned Plum and Narcissus as well but I need to save money =/ My makeup collection is tiny so I'd love to buy EVERYTHING to start filling in all those gaps, but I've got to be picky because my finances are so tight, at least I always love the items I do get

I maybe getting one of the ombre's, definitely Approaching Storm/Red Dwarf and then saving for IRIS!!

 

[Richelle83]

Can pro's purchase this yet?

I also was thinking Seasoned Plum looked like Playtime, but it's different enough for me to justify buying it.

 

[PixieDancer]

I've been confused with that TOO! What's the verdict on Too Chic BP? Are you picking one up? What's your thoughts on it?

Maybe it is part of DG after all?

 

[Mac-Guy]

If it comes with DG, I will definitely pick up a BU. It is very pale, so I think it's best suited for those with NC/NW 10-20. It can look ashy on NC/NW25 and above, thus if you have a darker complexion, make sure to try it out IRL.

It's not on Pro yet.

 

[PixieDancer]

Thanks! It sorta looked like a pass for me. (NC30/35) I passed on Snowglobe for the same reason. But picked up HB. I really like HB and am looking to add more BP's since HB was my first! Oh well, maybe next time!

The fact that this collection comes out the day before my birthday makes me so giddy.

I need Azalea Blossom and Vintage grape to introduce to my Ripe Peach!

 

[SweetSarah]

Well, that's perfect, because I'm NC or NW10. I'm sort of just neutral, not really clearly leaning cool or warm. So, I'll just follow your rec's like a sheep, k?

Thanks for the compliment, hun. I only know what's best for NW10 - 20, lol. I'll get Interior Life, Nebula, and Aurora.

I love the quality of the quad as well as the color palette. Will post a review when I have more time.

I already have VG and AB, though depending on what ombre/grading I see in the store, I might get a BU. The blue side of one of my AB's is ginormous.

Altogether, it's a pretty small haul, huh?!

 

[xasperadastra]

I guess I have a final list for this collection!
Azalea blossom
Aurora
Red dwarf
Narcissus
!!!

That might get expensive, lol.

 

[SweetSarah]

It's okay. I like to spend my money on good makeup. I always feel better when I look put together, so it's worth it.

 

[elegant-one]

I'll

say!!!!

 

[Richelle83]

Narcissus and Seasoned Plum have me so excited I cannot wait to get them in my hands.
