MAC Magnetic Nude Collection (December 26, 2013)

[marz81]

Yes I knew that... thanks for reminding me. For some reason it just popped into my mind as I was typing to remind her that we've got similar colouring (more or less). Oops. As other people said, it's a lot more diffused and soft-focus than regular blushes. Personally I didn't get any the last time as none of them showed up (although others have had no problems). I'm happy with Mineralized blushes and good old regular blushes. I'm eyeing Autoerotique and Pleasure Model but it really depends on whether it shows up this time round. It'll go into your Z-palette without any problems (provided you have space). Otherwise if you have a CCO near you, you can try looking for the Accentuate/Sculpt duo that came out with Dsquared collection a few years ago. That one was very convenient, you had a highlighter and a contour in the same compact. I've been using that one every day for the last 4 years (has it really been that long!) and I have hit pan but still plenty left! 

CCO?

CCO?

Cosmetics Company Outlet... where LE and discontinued stuff that nobody wants go to die. There is a thread for this somewhere on Specktra with all the addresses all over the US.

Waiting for launch is like watching grass grow. I ended up with six perm items in my cart. I guess thats good since I procrastinate those anyway. A tip for my fellow f5 crew: I have been adding my desired items to I want it list so when it finally is live I can checkout fast er

Well, I meant for the past few days.... but I will agree to that.  I was up til 2 am and then at 5:30 I got up to check and have not been back to bed yet.  I am going to stay up til 7 and see if it launches and then I'm gonna have to go back to bed.  I am tired as hell.  Between the Holidays and stalking this collection for days I have not had a decent nights sleep all week. I have been on this thread checking and stalking and I feel like a bunch of regular people have not been around at all.

I've noticed the same thing. I figure a lot of folks have just gotten tired of the drama so they just peek in every once in a while.

I want Steel Kiss now!!!!!  Thanks for the swatches. 

Your welcome BrinaBoo! Steel Kiss is awesome!

Thanks to the ladies who've shared swatches. I preordered Pleasure Model, Magnetic Appeal, Carnal Instinct and Hellbound. Is there anything else that I should consider? For reference, I'm NC50.

AUTOEROTIQUE and Steel Kiss.What do you think so far?

Thank you soooo much PrettyHoneybee!!! After seeing these swatches i went on ahead and ordered MA from Nordies. I only hope that its still available.

Yayyy! It's super pretty!

At this rate, Macy's will release in store first.

I can't believe this crap! Lol. Glad I slept but it wasn't enough. I'll probably be able to make it to work before these collections launch

Off to the mall I go!

Ok, Autoerotique-GORGEOUS!!! FP-on me, UGLY!!! It turned an ugly orange gold mess! Not a pretty peach at all! Pass!!! So glad i was able to swatch this before it launched online!

 

[KMQE716]

Eek! That's disappointing! FP is really the only thing I was excited for. I'm barely nc15 I wonder if it will turn orange color on me. Lol

I can't believe that I'm up at 5 a.m. headed to Macy's for MAC. I'm truly an addict. Smh.....:shock:

 

[thejwlife]

Just leaving my counter. I picked up FP, Superb, and PM. Skipped all of the lippies from PC (I couldn't justify buying another lip color). I did get the silver and violet pigments. Can't wait to play with these!

It might have been the shitty macys lighting. It's always been bad lighting. I used to have to take custies outside to check foundation matches., it was that bad! Eh, oh well. More money saved!

 

[jMANNSs]

Just left my counter! Ended up with Fairly Precious & Superb EDSF, Autoerotique & at Dusk EDB, Sensual Sparks and a BU of Punk Couture!

 

[Debbs]

WTH, Nordies counter told me to have coffee, walk around and come back as they are going to set up now . Still no testers yet . Bloomingdales during my walk is not aware that it launches today . Checked and 'Oh, I am glad that you said something'. No one is ready and prepared in the stores yet. I Just wanted to test before I grab my haul that's already waiting

So there has been a debacle in my head between magnetic appeal vs double definition and with pleasure model and BGGG. So before work (and because I'm a royal pain in the ass when I get obsessed with stuf like this) I stopped by macys with my dupes to check this out. Swatches are: Upper is BGGG Upper left is Lovejoy, next is PM Bottoom left is MA, bottom right is DD (both sides swirled together). In the middle and next to the PM swatch is both sides of double definition (light and dark)

Yes there's a ton of pics but I took different lightings into consideration. My veredict: Pm: it's def NOT te same as BGGG, while Riris blush is orangier and powderier (still love it) PM is it's fraternal twin upgraded version: better texture, stronger pigmentation, a bit "burnt"more than BGGG, metallic.. While Lovejoy (far left) was on the shimmery and darker /deeper side. If this was Star Wars, BGGG would be LEIa, PM would be Luke and Lovejoy would be vader... Nah... maybe not vader maybe obi wan.. Def a stronger color, same family but different. Ok I'm goin on a tangent. MA: very similar, not the same, MA is rosier and closer to the dark side of DD, similar enough that I didn't get it just cause the differences can only be seen at angles and on different lighting.
