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

I wish I knew for sure. From the pics I am guessing its not regular size because when I put the Mac lip liner pencil I recently bought next to a Creamsheen gloss the liner is way taller. By about the length of the whole cap of the lip liner. I figure I'll go for it regardless the pics of everyone wearing Lickable on Google sold me on it!

The lip pencil is not regular size. It's shorter.

I have Narcissus, Plum Fun, Desire and Vacant, a pretty decent range in the purple family. I'm tying to control myself a bit here. Do you think I need Flight of Fancy too? Narcissus is gorgeous and a real favorite. I'm not sure about how it stacks up against Flight of Fancy....H-E-L-P

I thought the same since I also have plum fun... I preorded it anyway. I agree Narcissus is nothing like Flight of Fancy.

That is odd. My girl at Nordies said she was going to take my preorder form to the back and pull everything for me, and this was on Thursday.

mine said the same.

Thank you CartoonChic!

This makes it even harder for me to justify getting the bag LOL

Anyone with a NC25-ish skin tone could talk about the blushes? I'm specially interested in Small Vanity! Thank you

im NC20 and its definitely my new favorite blush.

I really can't wait for this collection! I'm really excited for the lipglasses and blushes

 

[maneater]

The only lipstick I'm excited about is outrageously fun

 

[Mac-Guy]

Well, it looks like I waited too long anyway. My store is already sold out of most of the items I want. I knew I was making a gamble by waiting and waiting for it to show up online early, so it's not a huge deal. Just means I'll have to wait a little longer to get my GD things and that I won't be able to wear the new products for this event I'm working next weekend. And this is exactly why I would never bother going to a casino, lol.

ETA: And this means I'll still be in stalking mode the next couple of days. Maybe I should pick up some more coffee at the store this afternoon in preparation...

This sucks. I'm afraid that most locations are sold out of some items before this collection is officially released.

What a suprise that the stores are sold out before release. They hardly get any stock in the first place.

The lipliners from the bag sets last year wear not full size. These liners look to be the same size as the ones last year. So I am pretty sure they are mini liners... HTH

Edit: I see your ? was already answered.

got in all my preorders ( I just added Glamoudaze and Delicously Demure to my Nordstroms order) I got so much stuff I don't know how I will justify ordering almost everything in the TT collection + All lipsticks in Strenghth+ après Chic+ Making pretty but I'm sure I will find a way lol PS: the Nordstroms I did my preorder at said they have about 400 preorders! he assured me that everyone's orders are already bagged and in storage

So I finally went to the counter and preordered, I decided to skip the EDE mainly because I rarely wear eyeshadow and recently purchased an Inglot 10 palette, and the vice from UD and these did not strike me as especial enough to purchase. I am in love with Glamourdaze lipstick, its gorgeous on the lips and outrageously fun its much better than the swatches definitely different from all the pinks I own and it pulls a bit light plum on me which I loveeeee. I tried feminine edge which I really liked, but disliked the other two fluidlines because they looked more silver to me and I hate silver so I passed on those. I am the one blush its gorgeous the MUA used it on me with a touch of Superb over it and I am in love! It looks great on my complexion the other two seemed regular to me so I didn't get them. The gloss sets are insanely gorgeous, and the little packaging box its super cute and I got the Lavish rose set and the Cocktail coral sets specially because I want to give my little girl and niece the little box so that they can fill with their little jewelry and their first MAC lip gloss they are about to be 12 they are only 2 months apart so all they talk about its makeup lol anyways overall this is definitely the best holiday collection MAC has had in a long time. My haul so far:

Outrageously fun X2
Glamourdaze X2
Dramatic encounter 1
Feminine edge 1
Superb 1
WoG 1
I'm the one X2
Lavish rose 1
Cocktail corals 1

I might change my mind about the shadows later but I'm in no rush, can't wait to pick up my stuff

Its going to be a great birthday weekend for me next week!

nice haul!!
can you describe how glamourdaze looks? im still on the fence about it.

OMG 400 preorders?

Glamour Daze is a bit similar to Offshoot but more intense. It is really beautiful, easily wearable and intense at the same time ( Offshoot too ). I took the 5 lipsticks, I am very very happy about it and honestly I didn't expect Glamour Daze to be so pretty. I also love the 4 others, esp. Beauty and Dramatic encounter. Innocence is a soft frost and I haven't tried Outrageously Fun yet.

 

[MacAddictNurse]

Ok that is crazy. Thats actually not fair to the people who goes in person on the day of the release to get stuff. at this point i feel like if mac is going to do preorders they might as well just give the people the item they preordered right then and there. no point in the day of the release then.


nice haul!!

Kinda hard to describe because I have nothing like it, its plum but with some brown tones to it has a really pretty sheen to it so u can wear it alone or with a gloss over it to make it stand out more in my complexion I liked it with the clear gloss on it, my husband even complemented the lipstick on me he normally doesn't like lipsticks because he says he can't kiss me but this one he said he really liked the color on me

Thanks CartoonChic and PixieDancer! I am going to go for it. I swore off all the sets a while ago but now I'm in for at least one. I do still hope to see the others in the CCO in a few months.

 

[xasperadastra]

do you think Catch my eye fluidline may be similar to Morning frost paint pot?

I'm wondering about that too!

Honestly, I was kind of expecting the response I got. I was pretty sure they would be sold out of a couple of things on my 9 item list, but the fact that they already sold out of most of them was a bit surprising. I bet most of them sold out at their pre-release event last week. They really should have separate stock for the release weekend.
