MAC Holiday 2012 Glamour Daze / Fabulousness / Guilty Passions Collection Discussion

I have very sensitive eyes too -- no pearl glides, no flaky mascara -- and I have never had a problem with the EDES. I have four and have ordered two more. I do usually use them over paint pots so that probably helps with fall out.

I am super sensitive as well but no issues with edes.

Do I need the peach blush? :blink:  How does it compare to Supercontinental? And how are folks with sensitive eyes liking the EDES? I have problems with some e/s formulas from other brands, also with the Mega Metal ones for example.

I have Dark Dare, Havana and Lunar and live them. No problems at all. They are buttery smooth.

I can't answer your question but I'm glad to hear someone else say they LOVE syrup. Its my most favorite color! I have backups of it and I don't even know why.

I seriously love that color! I have many backups too, but I lose and find them everywhere totally justified

My MUA at Mac told me there is no need for me to preorder since im coming to the event. I just hope nothing sells out. I wanna swatch the items for myself before i decide. worse comes worse... i will site stalk after i see swatches!!

Off topic, but I need help... Does anyone know of a body wash that squirts into your hand like a gel and then foams into soap, kind of like shaving cream? Bath and body used to sell one, I've looked high and low...thanks for any help!

I have really sensitive eyes too. I don't have any problems with mine. They don't have any coarse shimmer or glitter. More of a shimmery sheen. I love that you can wear them sheer but build them up. And wet the brush and they really come alive. So pretty!

Also please swatch Stylishly Merry ED e/s. I'm really curious about that one.

i'm curious too! it was the one that was already SOLD OUT on preorders...mind u i'm #3 on the list so WTF. and no tester...so awful i swear. i wonder if i should go to the mall around here. there are 2 counters but i don't know anyone there so they may be all b*tchy at me hahaha

 

[purplerinne]

the eyeshadows are SUPER small....but i just HAD to have the taupe one (stolen moment) and natural flirt...NF reminded me of Your Ladyship pigment in pressed form. SOLD!!!!

I got to see a portion of this collection yesterday (color story, MAC clutches). Here are my thoughts if anyone is interested.

First and foremost if you want the travel bag try and get a pre-order ASAP. My freestanding store only got 6 (one of which is going home with me). To reiterate what everyone else is saying the store and the counter I go to both got very limited supply of these collections. I hope it is not going to be a fiasco like Marilyn and I predict that they will do some timely restocking as the holidays get closer.

The fluidlines in this collection are amazing especially Feminine Edge and Catch My Eye. If you are a taupe lover, Catch My Eye is a must.

I got to see the MAC exclusive clutches. I must say these are very well thought out. I love the products in them and my MA showed me how it looks as a clutch as well. Despite the $70 price point, I broke down and pre-ordered the pink one although the coral is nice as well. Does anyone know if Nordstrom will have the same ones or different colors?

For people asking about the orange lipstick (Innocence?), I would call it soft orange but definitely orange (at least on me). I ended up with Beauty lipstick (which is totally out of the box for me). I had wanted Glamour Daze but it is really brown IRL. Outrageously Fun looks like Up the Amp and Lickable had a baby. LOL

The lipglasses didn't seem like anything out of the ordinary with the exception of Impossibly Sweet. It looks like a pinker version of A Natural Flirty shadow in lipgloss form. It looks very pretty over Beauty lipstick.

Everything that Glitters polish does look like the Butter London version in the bottle but to me the glitter is a bit finer and I find I prefer the MAC version.

The blushes were a bit boring.

The EDES are so tiny. I would have bought all of them if they were the original size. I got Stylishly Merry and A Natural Flirt. A Natural Flirt is a warm peach with a pink and gold sheen to it. I don't have anything like it. Tall Dark and Handsome reminds me of the black Electro Cool shadow (that I have and love but whose name escapes me). Stylishly Merry looks awesome over Feminine Edge Fluidline.

I pre-ordered what I knew I wanted out of the color collection yesterday since stock is limited. I will pick it up on Tuesday when I go to the event. At the event I will look at the sets if they are out but unless something is really exceptional, I am good with what I have. I didn't back anything up but if I did the only thing would be Feminine Edge Fluidline.

My pre-order:
Travel Bag
Pink Clutch
Stylishly Merry EDES
A Natural Flirt EDES
Beauty lipstick
Impossibly Sweet l/g
Everything That Glitters n/p
Feminine Edge f/l
Catch My Eye f/l
Raven e/l (repeat purchase because I love this liner)

Thank you for your review! I'm interested in the coral $70 set. Did you have a chance to get a closer look? If so, can you tell us about the products?

Marilyn Monroe came on a Monday evening soooooooo fingers crossed it launches tonight?? Mac gives me such anxiety and the need to have all their products :/

Oh no! Are you serious? It must be pretty then. I'm gonna have to snatch that one as soon as I know it's available. I'd really like to have a doggone swatch first though! Ugghh!

 

[singer82]

Think I finally have a set list! Not too shabby. This is cut wayyyy down from what it was! Lol -Outrageously Fun l\s -Beauty l/s -Little Black Bow f/l -Mystery e\k -Orpheus e\k -Ready to Party edes -I'm allowing myself one more edes. Either A natural flirt, Stylish merry, or the Aqua one. -The viva glam bag. I've been wanting to get the Nikki lipstick and can always use a lip conditioner to wear for bed. Plus I always like to buy at least one thing for viva glam holiday every year. I'm being realistic with the sets as great as they are. I love the packaging, but don't REALLY need anything in them. I might cave on the purple gloss set. Cause I love purple and want one of those tins! I just know I don't wear glosses often.

Didn't there used to be a CCO in Opry Mills mall?

Yes and I used to love to visit!!! But with the mall reopening it was one of the stores that didn't make the cut.

You are third on the waiting list or are you the third one to preorder?
