MAC Give me Liberty of London Discussion

[abbyquack]

So, I just calculated if I were to get everything I really want, and the total would be $163!!!

So now I've got to decide if I am willing to shell out that much, or if I should reel in my list a little. Here's today's list:

-Blooming Lovely l/s
-Ever Hip l/s
-Peachstock l/s
-Petals and Peacocks l/s
-Frankly Fresh l/g
-Perennial High Style l/g
-Bough Grey e/s
-Free to Be e/s
-Dirty Plum blush
-Prim and Proper blush
-Blue India np

Yikes!! Anyone see anything I could knock of my list?

I just swatched Blow Dry. BD looks brighter/darker in the tube, but swatched it looks fairly similar, with Ever Hip being slightly more pink? At this point only Erine or those that can actually see EH in person will know for sure due to monitor colors.

Erine???

There you are....so what do you think...Blow Dry vs Ever Hip?

 

[coachkitten]

Does anyone have pictures of the makeup bags? I don't remember seeing those and I am kind of intersted in getting the medium size one if the pattern is cute.

After seeing Erin's swatch pictures I think that I have my GMLOL list:

Shell Pearl Beauty Powder
Birds & Berries e/s
Bough Grey e/s
Blooming Lovely lipstick
Petals & Peacocks lipstick
English Accents Lipglass
Dirty Plum Blush
Blue India Nail Lacquer

I am so excited for this collection to launch!

thank you, its so hard to tell in the swatches

 

[gachapin_luv]

Erine, thank you

I was going to skip all lippies except Peachstock, but after seeing your swatches I want nearly all of them

I am also glad to see the Prim & Proper pic. It is gorgeous

I have Strike a Pose, so I will skip Birds & Berries. For some reasons, I don't reach for Strike a Pose (I only used twice so far

), so I don't want to waste my precious $$$.
Now my list is...
Bough Grey
Prim & Proper
Blooming Lovely
Peachstock
Petals & Peacocks
English Accents
Frankly Fresh

I totally agree with you!! LOVE Heatherette packaging

Even though, I didn't like eyeshadow trio much, I use it every morning to check my eyes.
Also, Alpha Girl is my best BP ever - it's the best cheek blush for me.

I have to get a new Helmer tomorrow (well.. today

) so I should keep my list for this collection short. Plus the Illamasqua pastel nail polishes gnawed on my budget.

On my wishlist are:
Birds & Berries e/s
Bough grey e/s
Blue India e/s

I'd love to get Shell Pearl too but I have so many light peachy MSFs already (I would only use it over blush like I do with MSFs) that look close enough that I only would get it if it somewhere below retail from the CCO or a sale.

Erine, can you plz also swatch Petals n Peacocks vs Gladiola l/s from dame Edna (if you have it)? Thanks in advance

 

[GlamQueen21]

Aw, man!!! Now I want all of the lipsticks in this collection!! Amplified Cremes are not meant to be skipped!! I haven't bought a Cremesheen lipstick yet. I almost bought Shy Girl l/s from my CCO and it was so pretty! I'm still on the fence about Petals & Peacocks. Should I get it since I have Show Orchid and Full Fuchsia lipsticks?

I would love to see a comparison of these too! Gladiola is my favorite pink l/s so far, it's so wearable!

True! But that only really takes away Peachstock l/s...since Dirty Plum is no longer available at PRO

You could skip Free to Be for the time being, since it's permanent. You could also get it in pan form to save a few bucks. I just ordered a pan last night from the website.

I love my trio the one with the mood ring e/s. I bought alpha girl solely for the packaging and never use it. I drool over it everytime I open my highlighting drawer though. I am crazy haha.

I have totally forgotten about Alpha Girl Beauty Powder! I am going to have to pull that out and use it tomorrow. It is a very pretty beauty powder.

Good point! I've been holding off getting it for a while because I wanted it in special packaging, but I suppose since I'm getting the rest of the collection I'll have plenty special packaging

 

[macaddict83]

I am super excited for this collection- even though my pocket has not filled up from last month! Also, I am going to be picking up a few pieces from Target's Liberty of London collection too. Nothing like a LoL sundress paired with MAC LoL makeup!

(LoL for Target hits 3/14 if that has not been mentioned in the previous 43 pages.)

BTW, I am going to get 'Free to Be' now because of the special packaging.

 

[iheartangE]

I'm so excited for Blooming Lovely now! What lip liner do you think suits it best? I don't think I have anything in my collection right now to use with it...
