MAC Styledriven Discussion

[Ashleybubbles83]

i thought on temptalia's site they are listed as perm?

http://www.temptalia.com/mac-styledriven-collection-for-fall-2011

yes, they are listed as permanent here, for U.S.

 

[Piarpreet]

I dont think temptalia is getting much from MAC in terms of news, info, and products... I wouldnt trust that old post

i think the best thig we can do is wait and see about the shadows really. i am inclined to believe they are limted edition.

Found this blog that had this collection swatched: http://www.lipglosseater.com/2011/09/mac-styledriven-collection-review.html
And a review of the eyeshadows: http://visionarybeauty.blogspot.com/2011/09/mac-styledriven-pro-longwear-eye-shadow.html
I can`t say I`m overly excited about the colors so I think this might be a skip because they don`t sound as good as they promise and I can`t afford to through 20$ for an eyeshadow or gloss just so I have it, I must really like it otherwise there are cheaper versions

I think having such a large perm e/s seems weird. I also think it's going to be LE. I am really liking a few of those colors... they will go well with whatever Posh Paradise PPs I end up getting

 

[PinkBasset]

Here the MA said the whole collection is permanent.

 

[buntewollsocke]

Legendary Black is mine now. Yeah.

Thanks for the link! Everything looks nice. I'm still glad that this collection is permanent.

So, Posh Paradise will launch this week, Styledriven next week, and Fall Color the following week?

Well I`m glad some of us like it. I`m a little disappointed but who knows more swatches can change my mind, that` s pretty much the rule here

 

[princess sarah]

yeh after seeing those swatches im passing on it... no where near pigmented enough on the eyeshadows for me

 

[whitepepper]

Wow, I love the glosses in the swatches I've seen, especially Dark As Night and Full Speed Ahead. Also, Hot Paprika looks like it would be gorgeous in an eye look with one of the pigments (Berber) in the new Illamasqua collection. Sort of similar colours, with lots of little flecks of different colours and glitter in the piggy.

I have to say that Styledriven itself doesn't look quite as intense as I thought it would be. That's not terrible, but it does make it less of a buy to me because I have a few things in a similar colour and I don't have much problem with things staying put if I remember to use Shadow Insurance.

So, more buys for me from this collection than I'd thought. I was planning to just do Cindy and paint pots from PP this time around

That's what the MA at my counter (Stockholm) said, too. I hope it's true because I want to get at least a lipstick and a liner later on.

Here the MA said the whole collection is permanent.

 

[HoneyMilk]

Ooh... the ones I want: Hot Paprika, Plush, Pink Frontier, and Weathered (I think? it looks purple blue?). I also like the Lasting Achievement Lipglass.
I just don't know if those colors are special enough to spend $20 a piece on. I feel like I could almost find similar colors that have a bit better of a finish or color/ tone.

Hmmm...

 

[MACina]

I think that several e/s from Styledriven provide beautiful basic colors and that is what I really like.
It is nice to have basics that I use very often in this super size pans!

 

[gracie90]

I got Sweet Satisfaction e/s today and I love it! I needed a basic, wearable eyeshadow that I could just put on and go. I'm on placement at the moment from 8 til 5 everyday and since they're meant to be long lasting, it's even better

 

[wishonastar]

Well I went to a store yesterday and swatched the rest of the collection, I didn't buy anything else because I felt that the other colours were dupeable enough. Also from wearing Hot Paprika for a day before, I didn't notice it lasting any longer than normal, and I got some creasing even though I wore it the same way as normal. I liked the pink and purple shades but I want to get the NARS duo with pink and purple instead although I don't know if they are dupes at all. I didn't buy any glosses even though the pink was pretty because I've not tried the one I have on my lips yet so don't know how it lasts on me.

that's dissapointing that the shadow didn't wear any longer than a normal shadow

if this is LE, that is going to suck for me... boo at having to pay rent and trying to buy a car, LOL
