MAC - Sugar Sweet Discussion

[Anachronism86]

I cannot wait for this collection. I'm thinking I might want 3 tubes of lollipop loving. =x
Anyhow, I read CoachKitten's excellent review and I have a question that I hope one of you can answer. I don't know if this has been asked before but, which shadow has a better color pay off, Sushi Flower or Dear Cupcake?
I read earlier in the thread that they are similar which means there probably won't be a ton of difference on the lid.
I'm wondering if I need to spring for the LE shade or if I can wait.
TIA!

Thanks a lot for the review, Katie! I kicked Dear Cupcake off the list and Sugarshot sneaked on.
Still lemming several of the shadesticks though. Is Cakeshop at least a bit greyish?

I think that Sushi Flower e/s has a better color pay off than dear cupcake. They are both satins and both have really similar color descriptions. Dear cupcake is described as a Mid-tone pink coral with gold pearlized pigments and sushi flower is described as a soft bright pinky coral with pink shimmer. So really the biggest difference is the color pay off and the pink & gold shimmer. IMO I would save your money and get sushi flower at a later date or wait until the CCO. That is just my thoughts though.

You are welcome. Cakeshop didn't seem greyish at all to me. It seemed more tan/beige than grey.

Thanks, I had such high hopes for "pewter"

And I will look at Sushi Flower.

 

[Miss QQ]

I may get Sweet Thing - sheer bright pink l/s

instead of Saint Germain. It is good to hear that Lollipop Lovin is more pigmented now. I feel that the one from Heatherette is very sheer on me. However, I don't think I will get LL here. I like the Heatherette packaging.

Thank you so much, Katie!

I have Soft Flower and Sushi Flower so I should be fine without Dear Cupcake. (I hope

!)
The MSFs are still on my list and now Sugar Shot sneaked on it.

Bubbles almost left the list and the only Lipstick I really want is Lollipop Loving. I need to think about Peppermint Patty. It is tempting....

Thank you for answer my question. It's a good thing I get to scratch it off my list. I know I'll for sure be picking up Sushi Flower at a later date though.

Hopefully I can behave and just stick to getting lollipop loving, but knowing me I'll have to look at Perfect Topping and Moonriver as well.
I keep getting caught up in blush hype. I bought the blonde msf in January and I've hardly touched it.

This is probably blasphemous to blush lovers, but I'm almost perfectly content just using Milani Luminous blush.

 

[VintageAqua]

Something strange tells me that when you swirl the top of msf of moon river and swatch it with sugar shot, they will probably look VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY similar.

Anyone's opinions?

 

[blindpassion]

Okay well that crosses Dear Cupcake off my list, because I never found Sushi Flower had that good of a payoff either, so if Dear Cupcake is worse I am definitely not interested.

 

[Shadowy Lady]

damn it why did I come back to this thread???

Thanks for the review Katie. Aquavert e/s and Saint-Germain l/s are back on the list. Do you think Saint-Germain will work for me? I'm NW30 and can only wear blue based pinks and reds.

 

[PrettyKitty]

I still want Perfect Topping. Maybe Sugarshot if it's not too similar to White Wheat, Magic Dust, Illusionary, Nylon or Pollen. Maybe Refined if it's not too orangey.

 

[ABB113]

OK, my list is changing every two seconds...now, after reading Katie's review of Dear Cupcake again, I think that one is coming off my list....unfortunately, Stars n Rockets might be creeping back in :-(

 

[Enchantedcameo]

I would like to see a swatch of Dear Cupcake and Sushi Flower side by side. Anybody?

 

[Krasevayadancer]

Will I be going to Pro tomorrow to check all this out, swatch and review?

Magic 8 ball says yes :-D

And a swatch of Refined next to the lighter parts of Brunette.

You're the best, Adina! Pro has the collection out already?

I'd love to see that, too! Especially since Sushi Flower often pops up at the CCO. If they are really similar I can feel better passing on Dear Cupcake and trying to get SF later on.

 

[stv578]

I just saw your review Katie, thanks so much!

So I will have to give Sugarshot a look, as I don't have goldbit. I can safely skip Dear Cupcake and the glosses. And for the SS's, it'll be Red Velvet, Butternutty and Lemon Chiffon. So not too bad, especially since I won $99 in a lottery (I think, I have yet to go in to claim it)!

 

[Krasevayadancer]

Darnit! I spoke too soon. Just called pro, they didn't get the stuff in yet so no preview for me tomorrow.

Maybe i can go to my fs and finagle it somehow, hmmmm

 

[YSLGuy]

I want:
Both MSFs
Red Velvet
Penny
Peppermint Patti
Dear Cupcake - just for the name

and we'll see what else I add.
