MAC Give me Liberty of London Discussion

[Gonzajuju]

Blooming lovely l/s kind of reminds me of a more opaque Bubblegum from the swatch erine put up. If so, it's so going on my list!

I know right, I have no idea what to do, it all looks so beautiful!

Is it crazy for me to want Bough & Berries e/s when I haven't touched my Strike a Pose?

Well, here is my "dream" list from this collection:
-Blooming Lovely l/s
-Petals and Peacocks l/s
-Peachstock l/s (silly bc I sold my last one)
-l/g-- I have no idea, they all look amazing
-Bough & Berries e/s
-Bough Grey e/s
-Free to Be e/s
-both blushes!

I will definitely be narrowing it down, bc like most of you, I am spent from Spring Colour Forecast!

Edit: I forgot to add Blue India np! That is my very favorite thing! I am a sucker for mac np, both for the colors and the way they last! I don't use a base or top coat, and they seem to last so well.

It's not crazy, I think it's completely logical! Lol I'm such an enabler.

Thank you so much erine for these great swatches!

So Bough Grey yes, B&B no (have and love Strike a Pose, but won't use it up in the next 10 years).

On me, FTB is more along the lines of Perky e/s, rather than Hot Hot Hot. I compared the two the other day at the counter, and FTB is brighter and matte, whereas Perky is a tad lighter and has some shimmer.

Abbyquack - I have only used Strike a Pose a handful of times since I got it, but will definately get Birds and Berries. I definately prefer VP finish over all others. Plus, it's teal. Pretty much an automatic purchase for me.

 

[dxgirly]

I think my list is:

Dame's Desire e/s
Birds & Berries e/s
Give Me Liberty Of London e/s
Bough Grey e/s
Free To Be e/s
English Accents l/g
A Different Groove l/g
Frankly Fresh l/g


I'm on the fence about the Summer Rose Beauty Powder, and I took off Petals & Peacocks and Blooming Lovely because as gorgeous as they are, I don't think I'll wear them

Thank u erine for the awesome swatches!

I have Love Lace eyeshadow, which I heard was similar to Strike a Pose. Is it worth still getting BnB?

Thanks!!

No and no!

Violet pigment is a lot richer in colour if that makes sense. Free To Be is lighter than Hot Hot Hot and matte.

I can swatch both comparisons on Monday.

I have Love lace and it looks completely different.

Is this one the same blush from the the riveting collection? I noticed the descriptions are different. If it is, it's very pigmented, but I am not sure how a satin formula would wear.

 

[Susanne]

Yes, Strike A Pose and Love Lace are not similar at all.

Strike A Pose is more a darker teal, Love Lace a dark grey-blue.

Comparisons will come on Monday as well

I will get Spring Colour Forecast with Hot Hot Hot finally on Monday

 

[Face2Mac]

I wonder if Gladiola runs more to the purple side and more cooler than P&P and if Hollywood Nights is too fuschia for P&P but if you mixed them together,

I really need for these to be dupes so I can save money realistically but I really don't want them to be because I really want it.

Yes, they are the same blush. It is very pigmented, but it wears very well on me. I love it.

When a new collection is coming out, and I can't decide what I want, I show my DH the swatches, and he helps me narrow the list. It is usually very effective, and I can knock a few items off, and save some money. So today, I showed him Erine's swatches of this collection. He looked at me, and said "Honey, I like it all." Yeah, me too. No helps this time.

I was surprised how different they were when I put them side by side. SAP is looking almost green next to LL that looks almost purple next to SAP. Alone they of course are both blue.

just tried shes a star gloss over peachstock lippie... it looks quite nice! but am still searching for the perfect match for it!

Haha I did this last night. This is how I knocked the l/s's off my list.
