MAC - Overrich Discussion

[KikiB]

I never buy samples-I always buy the full jars. My Mutiny looks like it gets a good amount of use, as do my Helium and Jardin Aires (since I use those when mixing with other ones) and Aire-de-Blu. Mega-Rich is the only current must-have that I will get when it launches. Blonde's Gold, maybe. I'm skipping Heritage Rouge since Royal Flush is 86 times better, and Antique Green since I have Teal and rarely ever use it (even though I do blue looks all the time now).

And sleepyhead-I have no backups of anything. Yet. However next time I go to the CCO, I will be buying at least three jars of Helium. If I ever were to run out, I would be devastated. I use it every day, be it mixed with Pink Pearl as a blush or as a crease, highlight, or inner corner colour.

I Love full size jars! I NEVER worry about running out so I feel less guilty just "playing" with them, PLUS they look so pretty all in a row!

I think I am going to have to get a full jar of museum bronze and the blonde one. I love wearing bronzy gold looks in the fall.

 

[ktforthewin]

thank god for mac pro, cause i def want :

mega rich, museum bronze, copperbeam, poss antique green/vintage gold.

Oh dear...... not impressed

The ONLY ones that I like are Heritage Rouge, Antique Green and Blondes Gold. The others all look like repromotes of other colours....... Unfortunately the collector within me will compel me to get them all, BUT MAC really needs to lift its game with pigments..... ATM the Colour Forms pigments look better to me.

You know, I got a 1/4 tsp sample of Silver Fog in the mail today, and OMG what a great colour! I know I have to a get a full size jar of it when I go to the US this summer.

I was hoping I could pass on alot of this, but ohhhhhh....I am afraid I'm going to have to buy all of them now. Ugh. lol. I will never, ever use a whole jar of pigment, and I would rather buy samples, but I'm so anal about having the original jars it's not even funny. Perhaps a touch of the old OCD.

Also, do we have any more info on whether any of these will be pro perm.? And do we know which ones? (afraid I might have bypassed that info!)

The colors really are lovely, but they just aren't unique. I am going to check these out with duping in mind. Who knows, maybe I will be pleasantly surprised

I'm probably in the minority, but I really don't mind buying the full sized jars. They can be broken up into smaller portions and swapped on MUA or little samples can be given as extras. I don't think I have any full jars of pigment, actually! lol But I am seriously excited for this collection!

I agree, I love Silver Fog! I bought a 1/4 tsp sample first, and went through it all, so when it came out last year with Smoke Signals, I grabbed a fullsize jar. I love it dry, and it looks AWESOME wet

I am really excited for this collection, more so than any other. the colours look right up my alley!

I have only tried it dry, and I love how it is a lovely true silver without being over the top. I can see how it must look increadibly glamorous wet, great for a smokey eye for an evening out.

OK, back on topic... Overrich pigments. Yeah, they look good too!

 

[panther27]

I think I am going to buy the Megarich pigment and have the girl I know at the counter give me samples for all the rest.She is so awesome.

 

[anuy]

i'm going to buy all of them!! i NEVER finish a whole jar of pigment (unless i spill it in my carpet ;x ) so the new game plan is to keep a third of it and sell the rest off. it also saves me from spending $21 bucks on each jar

i wish the pigments weren't as neutral though!

 

[KikiB]

^I agree about the neutrals however one of the girls at the counter at my mall says it's oh, a good 7 of 10 people want neutrals. Look at it this way: it's money that you can save towards getting every piece of the Manish Arora collection.

i agree. i swear vintage gold looks like tempting e/s and museum bronze looks like a more shimmery version of bronze e/s. idk. i'm all for buying full sized pigments but these don't appear to be must haves. of course like you said i will check these out before i make any final judgments.

As a sample seller even I only keep samples for myself

the only color I have to re-fill is vanilla. I have over 160 samples in my personal collection and over the 4-5 years that's the only color I've re-filled. The only time I keep 1/2 a full jar is with very rares like Macs original silver frost, green frost, bright coral and the lightful collection. Those are the only 1/2 full jars I have. I might add a 1/2 of sweet sienna and copperized. Besides those for myself i'd never keep a full size, even the 1/2 full ones I've hardly made a dent yet

 

[Susanne]

After theses swatches I still want Antique Green and Vintage Gold!

 

[newagetomatoz]
