MAC - Starflash Discussion

[Winthrop44]

Erine, thank you again for the great info! Would you say Mink & Sable has more green to it than Sumptuous Olive (which just looks khaki on my skin

)? I'm looking for more green...yet less vivid than something like Humid.

ETA: And while we're at it can I also please get a blackened emerald green fluidline with green and gold pearl? TIA

OMG raccoon eyes for me too with kohls.....I use liquidlast and only liquidlast. Fluidline even leaves skid marks hehe

Erine and Bunny are rocking my world with all this new info. Oh, and violetb too!

Ok, so it looks like I not only want a matte^2 15 pan palette, but also a starflash 15 pan. Or maybe I will splurge and mix 7 of one and 8 of another? LE status makes me want to snatch these up if they are really all that in formula

 

[clotheswhore]

Thank you so much Bunny and Erine for the info and swatches!

So far, my list is:
-Mink & Sable
-Glamour Check!
-Sunset B.
-Lotusland.
But who am I kidding, I'll probably get them all!

Hmm, weird..khol powers didn't smudge too bad on me! I quite like them. I was sooooo heart broken that I lost my Feline somewhere on a C-17 last year. Hahaha. I cannot wait to get another one.

 

[trojanchick99]

Those swatches look gorgeous. I'm liking Bold and Brazen, Glamour Check and Grand Entrance. Arrrgh... Mac is killing my checking account.

Thank you so much Erine, Bunny & VioletB!

I am so excited for this collection!

I have a TON of empties so hopefully I'll be able to use those to get all the eye shadows I want and then I'll just have to get the khol powers!

Is it July 31st yet?

 

[patricia_nun]

Erine, if you had to choose a few eyeshadows from this collection, what would you get? Such a difficult question, I know. Please, don't tell me get all

. In your opinion, what are the most beautiful or different from the permanent collection?

Thanks a lot of for your comments and opinions. I'm gonna call you queen of mac

. You must be such a wonderful make up artist. It's a pity I live in Spain and I can't go to your counter.

Sorry about my english.

 

[GlamYOURUs]

Thanks for the swatches Erine!
But wow nothing really tickles my fancy. No offense, they just seem so dull and boring and even dupable! lol
If I had to choose, the only one that sticks out, is Bold & Brazen.

 

[minakokanmuri]

i'm kinda disappointed in top hat. it looks really...black. erine, does it have more purple irl?

currently on my list is Dreammaker, Lotusland, and Sunset B. I expected Sunset B to be a bit darker...just have to wait for more swatches i guess.

Well you are our dupe queen so I am am counting on you GlamYOURUs to give us some dupe colors once we see more swatches! My visa card (and me too) would love you if you did!

That made me laugh. Thank you! When I have some time and feeling better I will definitely do my research

I just hope the Team Enablers are lurking.

Bold & Brazen looks a lot like Brash from the Cult of Cherry Spiced Chocolate Quad on the pictures?
Apart from the texture, are they close?

TIA

 

[imperfectbeauty]

hmm...after a lot of thought even though it's kind of tempting the colors aren't really catching my eye or anything so i will probably skip this collection completely.

 

[AudreyNicole]

Hmmm, I wonder... Erine, Bunny, VioletB....

Is Smoke and Diamonds anything like Sweet Sienna pigment? Is it more grey or brown?

And how does Grand Enterance compare to Shore Leave e/s from Naughty Nauticals?

How about Dreammaker compared to Gold Dusk Pigment?

Is Talent Pool or Star by Night close to anything colorwise??

I thought so too! As I already have nanogold and other e/s close enought to the ones in the spiced chocolate quad, I'm getting bold&brazen instead of the quad. The colour combinations are inspiration enough!

im like you audrey, i have to budget on what i can spend my money on and which collection to go hog wild over. but thats when i think about "oh hey, i have some empties, i'll go and B2M them for some of the new stuff" thats what i plan on doing for the starflash collection when it comes out later this month.

I have 3 sets of empties too, but my freestanding won't take depotted eyeshadows, so I can only use them at Nordstrom for lipstick

Otherwise, I 'd definately be cashing them in on these babies!

 

[purrtykitty]

Well, I'm thinking Lotusland, Grand Entrance, and Smoke and Diamonds are at the top of my list. I'm seriously considering Bold & Brazen, Glamour Check!, Mink & Sable, and Go. Gah, decisions, decisions!

a few? what's that word you speak of?

i'm getting all but the pink and purple. i'm not a pink fan, and the purple looks like when you've been crying your eyes out for hours, you know, how the skin looks around your eyes? that or when you're stoned. don't ask me how i know this.

aww, thanks hun.

btw, your english is great.

it does. its a very dark, blackened purple. how that translates to frosty indigo i haven't a clue.

brash is more like coppering, and bold & brazen is more like mythology.

Is it more grey or brown? smoke & diamonds is like reflects antique gold glitter. they are both described as taupe (RAG as sparkling, S&D as frosty). And how does Grand Enterance compare to Shore Leave e/s from Naughty Nauticals? grand entrance is closer to all that glitters than it is to shore leave. shore leave reminded me more of shroom. How about Dreammaker compared to Gold Dusk Pigment? the shade of yellow is the difference. i'd say that gold dusk has more lemon yellow, while dreammaker has more banana yellow. Is Talent Pool or Star by Night close to anything colorwise?? talent pool is kinda like tilt, but way better. its teal, blue and green duochrome, where tilt is just blue and green duochrome. star by night is kinda along the same line of blues as blue storm/naval blue pigment.

my answers are in bold.
