MAC - MAC Me Over Discussion

[katred]

Tentative list, as of this moment, but will probably change...

Lady Grey, quad if the colours have decent pigmentation; I kind of like the soft tones)
Street Cool — Mid-tone grey violet taupe (maybe- I have to pull out Cakeshop again and give it a try)
Evil Eye quad
Avenue — Charcoal black with gold pearl
Prince Noir — Deep blue-purple (Matte)
Runaway Red — Rich red-blue (Satin)

The single shadows look nice, but I don't think I really need them. I believe I have dupes for all in my current collection. Will keep an eye on Carbonized, which looks nice but also like it could be a dupe for NARS' Galapagos. I liked the description of Oh Oh Oh, but the picture makes it look less appealing to me. I so rarely get to the brownish/ bronze/ gold shades I have already, I do not need to add more.

Hmm... That list isn't so bad at all, actually. My wallet is almost doing a happy dance.

I wear a lot of my fluidlines as bases, especially Blue Peep for my teal colors.

This collection isn't wowing me, I will probably end up with a few of the Fluidlines, the blushes ( I am a totally face makeup whore lately), couple of the eyeshadows & a quad or 2.

 

[elegant-one]

I just love Martinez's ( I think I have that right) look! Stunning Stunning eyes. It looks to me in her after pic, that they perhaps used Avenue lined over top the thin black liner on the top lash line. I love doing that. I will HAVE to own Avenue

Everyone's face just looks so sculpted & highlighted beautifully!

Runaway Red looks fab too

 

[Mac-Guy]

Moleskin reminds me of Sculpt from the contouring collection. And Creamy Bisque looks similar to Accentuate, though it might be more frosty.

 

[Swirlgirl]

I love the models and the looks MAC create for each of them. What a cool experience for those lucky six!

My preliminary list is long, but manageable ($182 if I did the math right)
Secret Lover l/s
Lady Grey Quad
Moleskin e/s
Carbonized e/s
Avenue f/l
Midnight Blues f/l
Dark Envy f/l
Stunning Blush
Seaside ccb
211 brush (this is new, right?)

I second using fluidlines as bases - they are awesome!

I love most of the images, but hers was probably my personal favourite- it looks like something I'd want to do for myself. I love Xee's as well, but it's not so much something I can pull off just anywhere...

 

[missah]

I've decided to limit myself, after going crazy after seeing Temptalia's photos. I've placed myself on a 6 item ban and my budget for August isn't that big either, so i can't afford many of the items.
So my list for August:
-nars foundation and pump
-nars Makeup Your Mind: Express Yourself
-1 fluidline
-1 blush (maybe not though)
- 226 brush
- 3 $15 products.[probably 1 l/g & 2 l/s]

 

[Rinstar]

I think I only want Street Cool shadestick. I'm not loving this one. Yet. We all know that could change!

 

[QueenOfSnark]

Tentative List:

-226 & 211 brushes x1
-Both quads (though I only love one color (the VPs) in each quad thus far...hoping swatches change my mind)
-Mythical e/s (if it looks close to Coppering, will skip)
-Carbonized e/s (if it looks close to SNS/Twinks, will skip)
-Avenue f/l
-Dark Diversion f/l

Never used a fluidline before--how is the staying power? If meh, will skip the fluidlines and the 211 brush.

EDIT: Spelling fail. <_<

 

[GlamQueen21]

My list so far:

Secret Lover l/s
Offshoot l/s
Prince Noir l/s
Runaway Red l/s
Social Light l/g
Evil Eye Quad
Mythical e/s
Carbonized e/s
Dark Diversion f/l
Dark Envy f/l
Stunner Blush
226 Brush

I'm on the fence with Lady Grey Quad and Moleskin e/s.

SwirlGirl: Yes, the 211 Pointed Eyeliner Brush is a new brush.

 

[sss215]

Everyone looked so fab in the promo pics!

Can you use fluidlines as bases for eyeshadow? I want to buy Avenue just to wear it under Golden Gaze.

sure can!

I really can't commit to anything other than Smoked Purple, Peachstock, Outre and the 226 brush. The lipsticks because I love it when Pro products come to the stores and counters. Everything else I need to see swatches for cause the promo pictures are not very true to the color descriptions. Overall I am not to hype about the collection.

Runaway Red looks fab too

I love how beautifully they were transformed. Amazing!



I have a small "maybe" list.
• 226 Brush
• Stunner blush
• Creamy Bisque e/s
• Moleskin e/s

Cannot wait to see the swatches!

After seeing Temptalia's post on this collection, I'm going to be so broke. I have to start writing up my wishlist!!

 

[m0rg3nst3rn]

I'm really wanting to see some swatches, but I am getting quite excited. I already know that I will be getting one or two of the 226. I missed it the first time around and I have the Sigma dupe with which I love, but I would love the one that started it all.

My preliminary list before swatches is:
-226 (x2)
-All the fluidlines
-Take Root CCB
-SeasideCCB
-Equilibrium Blush
-All the Shadesticks (except Cakeshop, I already own it)
-Mythical e/s
-Outre e/s
-Carbonized e/s
-Runaway Red, Prince Noir, Oh Oh Oh, Offshoot l/s (will B2m for them)

I don't know, everything depends on the swatches. I am totally not sure about either of the quads. Let's hope some things swatch horribly so that my boyfriend doesn't kill me. I had to hide some of my SP purchases until he went to work and then put the packaging in the recycle bin and the products in my case so that he wouldn't see them...

 

[Rezel]

I've had Rebel for a month now and I still haven't used it but it's such a lovely color.

I'm liking the look of some of the shadesticks. Haven't tried them though. Are they long wearing?

 

[afulton]

Here is a review on Spite lipglass from Karen.
http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/mac-makeup/mac-unsung-heroes-lipglass-in-spite/

I found Satin Taupe on Temptalia, and it's beautiful. I'll wait until the collection comes out to get it though. I couldn't find swatches for Rebel and Spite. Peachstock I'm now on the fence about...

OH THE SHADESTICKS! I'm interested in Cakeshop, but I'm not sure about any others. We'll have to see.

 

[LMD84]

ok so here is my very small list for this collection -


Prince Noir lipstick
Evil Eye quad
Mythical shadow

i would like more but sadly i have no spare cash right now if i happen to get paid a little more then the lady grey quad and some more lippies would be nice

 

[Alisha1]

Alisha, what a list, lol!

Eek I know! I've never wanted so much from a collection! Hopefully the swatches will put me off, I'm also going to get some pro palettes so I can depot and b2m for the lipsticks

 

[tamarindi]

This is a definitly a Fabulous felines followup - my biggest haul last year... but this time I'm really trying to limit myself to things I don't have dupes for and will actually use:
Curvaceous lipglass - depending on swatch and similarity to Docile lipglass.
Tundra shadestick (would also love Heirloom by if I remember correctly Hergreyness said that the holiday collection will have an icy pink paint pot which I prefer).
Midnight blues fluidline
Dark envy fluidline
Seaside cream color base
226 brush

Thats it! (I hope...)

 

[Sass]

Oh, is that you in your new pic? LOVELY!!!!!

Thanks! That was last Saturday when I decided to wear my afro. Now I'm back to my wigs. Ha! I love makeup, wigs, nail polish and shoes. Go figure.
