Anyway, I still had the extra 6 empties in my purse, so I ended up getting a Bonus Beat. Long story, but I B2M at two different places. I'm not sure about the Lollypop lipstick though. The colour is gorgeous but so pale on me and a bit dry. I wish it were a Lustre.

lol, I anticipated the next chapter when the story continued on Bloor... I should've saved up my last 6 empties for Heatherette but was already at a store hoping for Memorobilia to be in stock and ended up getting Rich Flesh instead. I just had to use them, lol.

I'm actually finding LL to be okay in he moisturizing dept, at least not to be drying. It doesn't have as much slip as a lustre but in my books it'll stay on longer. I might try it with Peachstock to give it more pigment (just a random idea, it might not work at all!).

The pro store put it out yesterday. I mentioned that I was told it would come out next Thursday and they said due to popular demand they put it out earlier. I came out on a whim, tbh... tho on a day like today it would've really sucked to have walked from Osgoode to the store and come away with nothing! But they said they have tons of stuff... the MA tried to help me decide b/w LL and Sock Hop with which ever they had less of but found out they have lots of each. What "lots" means I don't know. It didn't seem that busy at all when I was there at about 4:30 p.m., as another poster noted, so there should be plenty for you this weekend since their event is next weekend.

Question for those who have Style Minx and Hollywood Nights: If I have Fun & Sexy, which would you recommend? Is Hollywood Night gorgeous enough that I should get despite F&S? And don't say to get both!

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

sooo i thought i would put in my 2 cents here.

i bought:
Trio 2, sock hop, lolipop loving, alpha girl, phone me/text me and some other non-heatherette stuff lol..

@blahwah, I actually didnt think style minx and hollywood nights was all that unique. i am quite satisfied with fun n sexy + totally it. if im gonna go bold, i might as well go all the way with the purple duochrome. style mix and hollywood nights is quite comparable minus the duochrome. however, style minx and hollywood nights, in my opinion, would be harder to wear. they are more pigmented and i felt that style minx was a dark fuscia. if you have pigmented lips, you are better off with Fafi. Fafi is more sheer and easier to wear. If u want to save yourself money, stick with the Fafi that you have.

starlet kiss lipglass is also very comparable to cult fave. if you have cult fave, you can save money and pass on starlet kiss.

the beauty powders are much more matte-ish compared to the barbie ones. i passed on smooth harmony because i found that it was a brown that had too much yellow in it. being asian and all.... i dont need more yellow in my skintone. the beauty powders are not very shimmery and can be worn as a blush if you are lightskin.

i lovee sock hop and lolipop loving. lolipop loving is very sheer as it is a glaze after all, but if u do get it, please get sock hop too because it brings the lipstick to life. on my pigmented lips, it looks a bit frosty. i realy like it!

melrose mood is a peptol bismol BLUE-pink. its very cool toned, reminds me of barbie doll pink. super blue-pinks disgust me like fashion frenzy blush. bleh

the trios are damn gorgeous. im gona get the other one later. its gorgeousssss and the packaging for the trios are the most beautiful!

the dual pencils are a personal thing. the dark liner is uber creamy. i found that the pop blue is the most pigmented of them all. phone me/text me is a dirty silver. don't expect it to be like a platinum silver lol.

Hope that helps someone!

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

I went crazy like most of you and bought:

Lollipop Loving
Fleshpot
Bonus Beat
Style Minx
Starlet Kiss
Nighthawk/Front Row
Alpha Girl
Trio 1
Pink Pearl
Jardin Aires

When I swatched Sock Hop I didn't love it b/c it looked way orange (I'm NC 20-NC 25) but now I am double-thinking it since so many of you loved it. I will say that Love Nectar Lustreglass over LL looks really pretty and I will have to try it with Apex 3-D as someone mentioned.

Thanks for the idea to use Fleshpot with Starlet Kiss, b/c on me it looks bad by itself. I had to get it though since I've heard so much about it.

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

I just came back from Mac and it is the first time I have gotten so much from a collection.

Beauty Powders -got the Alpha Girl bp but I don't think it'll show up on my NC37/35 skintone but it looked better than Smooth Harmony. I wanted Smooth Harmony since I don't have a bronzer but it looked orangy against my skin tone. If it wasn't for the case, I wouldn't have gotten any.

Lipsticks - only Fleshpot. It'll be good to neutralize my pigmented lips and I could use it as a base for other lipsticks. I was disappointed with Lollipop Loving because it didn't show and Melrose Mood was too gaudy on me. My lips are prominent on my lil asian face so I try to minimize and focus on my eyes instead. I wonder if Fleshpot and Lip Erase is about the same? I haven't use the Dim Lip Erase yet to make a comparison.

Lipgloss- I'm a huge fan of pink glosses! I need Starlet Kiss! It's a really pretty pink but I still prefer Fergie's Viva Glam SE lipgloss over it. Also, got Sock Hop-not sure why I think I was being impulsive.

Trios-I was intending to get both but I ended up with Trio 2 because I've been trying to experiment with pinks & purples. I came home and looked at my purple collection and I swear Cassette looks exactly like Fertile. I may be wrong and color blind. With everyone's rave about Trio 1's Mood Ring, I want it too now! Shucks, I already have Cloudburst and the other color barely showed any color on my hand.

Liners-bought all except the Black Funk/Pop Blue. I could use the liners on a daily basis. The liners were really creamy and the MUA said it could be smudged and be used as an eyeshadow...I'm thinking of getting another of the purple liners.

Overall, I like this over Fafi because packaging is a lot better than Fafi's stickers on lipglosses and quads. I didn't want to leave MAC, my bf had to pry me from it. My bf said this addiction is like pokemon, gotta catch them all!

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

I so adore this collection. It was all so pretty and I wanted everything and it was really hard to leave the counter.

I settled with fleshpot l/s, hollywood night l/s, lollipop loving l/s and she's bad lash. I think I'm going to go back to get more. I'm planning on getting starlet kiss l/g because it's such a pretty pink. I'll probably end up getting a few liners and I think I decided on trio 1 but I could change my mind again.

I can't wait to get back for more!

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

I am already in love. This morning, I wanted to wear bold lips to work so I wore the Alpha Girl BP lightly on my cheeks (God is it ever pretty and soft) and believe it or not -- I wore Smooth Harmony BP on my lids for a nude look (I RARELY wear nudes eyes and this was just sitting there looking so pretty so I used it!) with black liner and black mascara. Then I used Hollywood Nights L/S -- which is so smooth and creamy it makes me *sigh* and over that I applied a VERY light layer of Melrose L/S.

I walked into work and have had no less than 4 female employees and two male attorneys tell me my makeup looks amazing. At my desk, when my lips had faded just a smidge, I applied a layer of Lollipop L/S over them. WOW. Seriously, this whole line is nothing but options and playfulness.

I too thought Lollipop was originally too light for my NC35 tones but I was so wrong. While it's not bright and noticeable on it's on...it's AMAZING over tons of other shades. I played with it last night and used it over a bunch of different matte and amplified colors and it was just really diverse. I recommend it for that reason alone - especially if you want something to add shimmer instead of a gloss (which for me always last such a short time on lips).

Sorry I can't swatch for you guys -- my camera program on my computer is messed up.

I skipped the shadows (meh) and the lipglasses (meh) and got the two liners in Blue and Purp. FUN FUN FUN.

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

I wish I hadn't ordered online now. I want my stuff to play with RIGHT NOW. I don't wanna wait over the whole weekend!! I still haven't gotten my stuff I ordered on the 15th.

Oh well. I might have to go to the MAC store and pick up everything I didn't order online.

I ordered Sock Hop, Lollipop Loving, Trio #1, and Alpha Girl. Now I want Style Minx, Starlet Kiss, Trio 2, some liners and a pigment.

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

@ BlahWah : Are both stores ( the bay and pro store) open this weekend at all? Cuz it's long weekend. Hopefully they are open on Saturday. You got me all excited now!

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

i wrote an email to cust. svce just to see what the estimated ship date would be -- thought maybe i'd just stop by the mall and pick it up tonight, but now they've charged my credit card for the Heatherette items, but no ship confirmation yet.

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

PSA: it looks like the collection is back in stock on the web site.

and I just ordered backups of Lollipop loving and Hollywood nights.

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

As far as Ive seen the swatches, I think that some from Heatherette have similar color from Fafi.

These are several things that I would like to hear the comments from you guys

1,Between Starlet Kiss and Cult fave. What's the difference and which give more pay off pink color.
2,Between Bonus Beat and Sugar Trance. Which one give more perfect nude look, Im NC20-25. Is Sugar Trance more pinky+peachy than Bonus Beat.Sorry if im wrong
3,Between Alpha Girl and Sassed up. Ive concerned that Sassed up is more shimmery. Does Alpha Girl give more peachy or pinky tone, Im so afraid that after applying on my NC20-25 skin, itll give me peachy color like Sassed up.


Thanks everyone for your helping. Cant wait for the collection, i guess it will come in April in Germany.

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

Love that I can share my haulage with you guys!

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

My backorder shipped in 3 different parts

Some will be here today, some shipped yesterday & the rest is shipping today. I can't wait to get trio 2!

But, I did get a package today...got some Chanel Hydramax + moisturizer (this stuff is awesome) and Chanel Lash Base primer/moisturizer.

Re: Heatherette for MAC Discussion

Depending on when I get my package (today or monday) i think this is actually a collection that i would get backups of. I don't want to ever run out or miss out on this stuff---its freaking Heatherette.

I think that I want the pop blue/black funk eye pencil, maaaaybe some more lashes, i don't want the BP anymore (i'll have to try it but i'm like 97% sure ill return it...im sorry guys) Everyone was raving about smooth harmony but then I realized that I bought blot powder and smooth harmony and i just don't think I need both. I wanted the case so at least I could use it for other powders but I don't think I want it that bad...

So lets see how these lipsticks and glosses work on me.....i really hope lollipop loving shows up on me! I feel a strong urge of ordering backups for the lip products and another eye pencil.....

Has anyone tried Lollipop Loving over Fleshpot? maybe that would make it show up on pigmented lips?
