MAC Posh Paradise Discussion

I guess it's only if you are a pro member.. Sorry.. I didn't realize it's pro members only right now. That really sucks for any non pro members. But for all pro member you can shop the collection now online or at pro stores is what I'm thinking.

It will be at Pro Stores on Thursday! I need to swatch so I will be heading out there then.

I got the pro newsletter for this collection today, but haven't found any blogs with the mattene lipstick swatches. Has anyone seen swatches?

Jen i freaking love you.

This is why I also prefer forums - I can voice my real opinion here and nobody can censor or control me. And of course I write the Specktra blog, but I can honestly say that i'm an honest person. All the reviews I do are my own thoughts - no bs - just reviews that hopefully tell you everything you want to know about the product.
Oh liba when you say you hope some of the paint pots can be sheered out - I hope that you can too. I guess with a light hand and fluffy brush this could be possible

I find that it is..
Ofc. I don't have the new ones yet, but I'll asume they're the same as the other 30 ones.. lol..

Lou, you definitely can. You will love love love the p/p. I just swatched them all and Nubile is my new favorite nude in combination with Seaside on top. I also fancy Treasure Hunt as a relatively opaque p/p, which can be sheered out beautifully to a nice light sheen that reflects a nude look but with an oompf. I also like Genuine Treasure and I find the glitter much more subtle than Cham Pale. The trick is to apply it sheer first, let it dry, and then apply another layer to get a semi-opaque finish. Absolutely love it.

Will try to write more when time allows, but the mattenes are super hot. Seeds of Desire is the perfect lip stain for me and Naked Bliss is ultra natural on my lips, a true MLPB color (on me). Potent Fig excels every expectation I had, both in texture and how opaque the color swatches. Those who love vampy lips will be in l/s heaven with Potent Fig.


PS: Whoever wrote the post about the bloggers (haven't scrolled up yet, just read Lou's quote), YES, YOU GOT IT RIGHT. Thanks for shedding some light on this issue. I thought I would be the only one sticking their neck out. Having said that, I still appreciate all the hard work bloggers put out there, but please take your time to review products thoroughly. Thanks.

Maybe somebody can list the names? Thanks.

I'm so glad Treasure Hunt is opaque! In the first swatches it looked a bit sheer, so i was a bit dissapointed. Now i'm not anymore. I'm really excited for this collection!

Like with every product, you have to work with it to find out how it applies best. I would call TH a 3/4-opaque p/p.

Please note that I swatched them how I would apply them on me. I like to sheer them out, but you can build them to a more opaque color like I did with the last four on the bottom. If you want more opacity, colors will be much more vibrant. As I mainly use p/p as a base, I like to sheer them out.

 

[katred]

I'm thinking that's Potent Fig on the bottom? Looks like a nicer version of Smoked Purple.

 

[Eleentje]

Thank you so much for the swatches, Mac-Guy!
Looks like just 1 mattene for me.

What would your comments be on the general frostiness of the p/p?
And did you find any of the shades swatch duochrome, as mentioned in the earlier posted blog article?

 

[Prettypackages]

I want them all!!!!!!! LOL Damn you MAC!!!

Maybe somebody can list the names? Thanks.

 

[soco210]

based off of promo pics and blog description I'd say (from bottom to top) potent fig, naked bliss, delectable, eden rouge, seeds of desire, unknown pleasures, legendary and fresh amour. on the side (bottom to top) - rare exotic & deliciously forbidden

 

[soco210]

a few were obvious, but on the rest I was majorly guessing there lol
I'm surprised there hasn't been some blogger posts about these yet.

 

[Prettypackages]

I think I want them all except for the top two, and the shiny one.

Thanks, that's the order. You get an A+ from me

In terms of frostiness, they are not really frosty at all IMO, but more in the range of a subtle, understated, very fine sparkle. Now Genuine Treasure has a thicker texture of glitter, but it will be awesome as a more tacky base for MES or piggies. I also loved how I can sheer it out completely for a subtle wash of color. Treasure Hunt is much fine and on me, it was more of a sheen, which look very nice and nude, but with some ooomph. Idyllic swatched less red on me than it looks in the pot, but having a true NW20 complexion, it does not surprise me as my undertones usually blend in (too much) with anything pink or red. I would not be surprised if you get a more red hue on NC skin or if swatched heavier.

yay! =D

 

[Mac-Guy]

Those of you who like antique gold, the n/p is to die for. It's a true antique gold and the blue one will look awesome in combination with Potent Fig.

 

[Edelmc]

Mac guy- thank you so much for your info! I want all the paint pots except the bottom two! The blue looks amazing- like it almost has a teal hue. Did you notice if one of the blues or purples had a duochrome effect (someone else mentioned that one pp was a duochrome)
