MAC - Love that Look Discussion

[caramel_geek]

My list...after seeing the swatches...

-Fashion
-Unbasic White
-Strike a Pose
-Rated R
-One Off

However...I'm still on the fence for Rated R and One-Off. Hmmm....

Fashion Groupie is no blue-violet, I'd say it's more of a red-violet in that photo. And Fashion does nothing for me, so the only thing I'll pick up is Smoke & Diamonds.

nope(darker than swimming, lighter than humid)
a bit darker than chartreuse pigment
nope (much lighter and more yellow)

fashion is kinda like silverthorne.

Sounds great!!

 

[Face2Mac]

Susanne,

Doesn't it though, Delicious.

I initially wasn't excited for this collection but now I see where I can use these eyes.

 

[Leven]

Rated R doesnt look as awesome as i thought it would

Whatever though, i would rather get the Rated R duo from Nars anyway

 

[GlamQueen21]

The swatches are so amazing!!!! I'm still getting all of the eyeshadow from this collection! I finally ordered Sunset B. e/s and I am willing to get the other ones that I missed (Mink & Sable, Talent Pool, Star by Night and Top Hat).

They have an awesome finish, I am really glad we will get this collection!!

 

[coachkitten]

Unbasic white looks drool worthy!

I want so many of these eye shadows but I am going to try and limit myself to just a few due to the fall collections. Thank Erin!

I'm sold!

One-off (check!)
Rated R (check!)
Ego <-- not so excited about this. Pass!

 

[caramel_geek]

Thank you so much Erine, for all the answers

Here's what I'm wanting now:

Unbasic White
Strike a Pose
Rated R
One Off

Took Fashion off my initial list, cause I've already have Silverthorn and Electra and Silver Fog. How many more light silver can I have.

Have a list yet? Mind sharing?

 

[MrsWoods]

Oh boy, I thought I would just get 4 of them (Grand Entrance Back-up, Smoke&Diamonds, Style Snob and Unbasic White), but I actually think I will also get Ego and perhaps Strike a Pose! It's going to be bread and water for me in fall...

 

[damsel]

yes! i'm getting all the new ones and since the finish on these are great [as per erine] i'm even more ecstatic.

 

[xpucu]

My list for now is:
one-off
strike a pose

/i even like the name lol/
style snob
and smoke and diamonds back up

 

[Miss QQ]

I will just get Black Russian here. The eyeshadows, I will get them in the quads and singles from other collections.
