MAC Lightness Of Being Collection (Dec 26, 2014)

[Dominique33]

I don"t like the pattern very much, I just need the lippies

( and not all, maybe 3 ? ). I have to see the blushes in person or at least on the website, still unsure.

i didn't have either so i got both but the pattern its really pretty so that made the decision of getting both easy. As i was opening the box i was like please have nice veins.

It is so nice to see actually veining in them.

I ordered Natural Vigor and Force of Nature. I thought that was all I wanted, but now Perfect Topping is calling me. It would be my first MSF, I'm thinking it would be a good one to start with. I can't get over how pretty it is.

Any idea of how fast this collection will sell? Do I have to interrupt my Christmas celebrations to drag myself to a store to swatch?

The collection is due out the 26th....and typically for a day after Christmas collection, it doesn't sell out too fast.

I changed my preorder today... To just Lightscapade! That's the first time I'be ever changed it to fewer items! The mint gloss is just clear really and I had wanted it, but I don't need a clear gloss. I had PT on order, but I sold my first PT... So do I want another? With all the good stuff coming in 2015, I think I'll save my $$$

i went yesterday and picked up my online macy's order . got the 2 msfs and i find them nice and not glittery when i heard glittery i as like no but i wore perfect topping today and its a nice shimmer shine ( i'm so bad at describing this)

I love your Lightscapade, beautiful veining!

Meh, Tis a skip for me. Pretty Swatches though ladies

 

[Psych1]

...maybe

Lol, Love it!

Feel the same way, unfortunately.

I think im skipping... the mint gloss was the only thing I was interested in anyways and now that I realize its mostly clear.... I have so many sheer/clear lippies anyways.

Me too. I was quite excited about this collection but after seeing swatches, I was disappointed :/ Now I can save my money for the spring collections lol!

Lightscapade is pretty, but I think this is one of those things where I'll stop by MAC the next time I happen to be at the mall and if they have any left I'll definitely be buying it, but if not... onto the next collection. Lol. I think I'm just exhausted from making the half-hour trip to the mall every time a new MAC collection dropped this year and that online stalking stint I tried earlier in the fall.

Same here, I really liked the mint gloss. Then, I saw the swatch

This one is also a no for me.

This was a skip for me but I'm loving the pictures.

I didn't rush down to my local MAC, but i did get there early. It was chilly today (low 50s), so i sat in my warm car until about 10 minutes to 10. I was the first person, 2 more showed up. Neither was interested in Lightness of Being.

Testing, testing...

0 MSF: Since i already have Lightscapade & Perfect Topping, i didn't even bother to test them. Even if these are better, i don't need two of each.
2 Lipsticks: Touch the Earth and Be Fabulous. I skipped BF. TtE turned out to be a great neutral medium-light brown, not too light, or warm, or cool, or grey, so i got it. I love the way the Mineralize lipsticks feel on the lips.
3 Glosses: Beautiful Moves (green), On Cue (gold), and Poetic (pink champagne). They were nice & sparkly but quite sheer, i don't wear glosses all that often, and i have enough gold glosses, so i only got the green.
6 Eyeshadows: I tested all of them. They were all lovely and sparkly, but i have colors like them. I still ended up getting three - Just Breathe (pale aqua), Spiritual Life (lemon), and Natural Vigor (nude peach) and i think i may return one.

So i got 1 lipstick, 1 gloss, 3 e/s, and Modern Movement Nail Lacquer. And i've never used Fix+, so i picked up one of the little "travel" bottles so i can see if it's useful to me.

Lovely haul, I don't know what it is about the msf swatches but they seem so much shimmery this time round. I haven't seen the collection in person so I'm just going off the shine I see in pics. What did u think of the blushes? Were they available to swatch? I never believed in the fix+ hype til I got it. I don't particular believe in it prolonging the wear of my makeup but it definitely makes everything just look a lot more meshed together I usually do several spritz Everytime I finish my makeup and it must be the glycerin in it which just imparts a healthy sheen. Love it. Won't be without it in my collection.

Sorry, i didn't even look at the blushes. Neither was a color for me.

Thanks for the info on Fix+. The MUA said a lot of the usual stuff, i have no quibble, that's how they're trained. So it's good to hear someone tell me their experiences with it.
