MAC Give me Liberty of London Discussion

[Swirlgirl]

I like the blush and lipstick packaging, but the beauty powder packaging is a bit on the busy side for my tastes, but I really want Shell Pearl, so I'll be getting one anyway.

I may end up skipping the blushes if the neutral one is too close to The Perfect Cheek and Personal Style and I may not be able to wait until this collection to get Dirty Plum (which I'm hoping looks okay on my skintone...) Although I don't know why I am even contemplating blushes after those gorgeous cremeblushes from the Lilly Pulitzer collection, which have pushed all my powder blushes to the back burner.... anyway....The List:

Beauty powder: Shell pearl - Pale peach with gold pearl
Eye shadow: Birds & Berries - Frosted dark green blue (veluxe pearl)
Bough Grey - Mid-tone blueish grey (satin)
Lipstick: Blooming lovely - Creamy greyed lilac mauve (amplified)
Blush: Prim & proper - Neutral nude
Dirty Plum - Sheer Dark Plum (Pro)
Nail Lacquer: Blue India - Dark green blue with pearl (cream)

Oh super cute packaging and I got my total under $200 I'm happy.

 

[GlamQueen21]

Wow! I might have to add Blooming Lovely to my list now.

The pic posted by BeautyPsycho is just gorgeous!!! The lippies look so cute!!

I rarely buy MAC lippies but this time I MUST get one. Shell Pearl, Dirty Plum and Blue India are going to be mine for sure. The eyeshadows look pretty yummy and seriously need to think which ones I'll get.

I think it will have to be seen in person too, but it looks very pretty! Unique, ya know? But you could definitely pull it off!

I felt that way at first, it's taken some getting used to. But now I actually think it's kinda cute. At least the e/s are with the flowers.

[PinkBasset]

Is this released in April in UK? Because then I'm going to London!!

And also I will get to the Mac Pro store - so exciting!!!

I don't really like the packaging, but I still want couple of things from this collection. My list without seeing anything in person:

• Give me liberty of London - Flat creamy pink (matte)
• Birds & Berries - Frosted dark green blue (veluxe pearl)
• Bough grey - Mid-tone blueish grey (satin)
• Shell pearl - Pale peach with gold pearl

I like that my list is sometimes short!

^^Hope you can get this in London!!! Wouldn't it be cute???

I'm kinda excited for you!!

The packaging is so pretty and exciting. However, I will depot the shadows. I'm not as crazy about the look of the packing on the shadows as opposed to everything else. can't wait.

Yeah, the flowers alone don't bother me...but the rest is overwhelming. And the pure white is a bit stark for my taste. The Moonbathe packaging was pretty...the pearl really helped tone it down. The pure white is too much for me. No bother, though - I'll just depot!

Thanks dear, I'm so excited too! Mac London collection haul in London! Yippee!

I love that city!

Purplerinne-imma say no to shell pearl for anyone over nw30/nw35.

Kiss-BPs aren't supposed to be pigmented. Since they're also meant to be dusted all over the face, ya really don't want something with too much pigmentation. They're completely diffrent than MSFs for this reason, among others.

Hey Erin - would you say that Birds and Berries shadow is anything like the dark green in the Photo Realism quad?? Thanks!!
