MAC X Toledo Collection (Feb 5, 2015)

Ripe peach has awful pigmentation. Mine is going back.

Thats unfortunate that it had bad pigmentation. It's such a lovely colour. Does anyone know if the original ripe peach had lack of pigmentation?

I would recommend testing the blushes on your face before deciding to return them, as it has been mentioned before finger swatching isn't always accurate. I remember being disappointed with the Proenza blushes until I picked up the product with a brush and placed it on my cheeks

Well I managed to get an Oxblood from Nordies..I'm excited!! Thinking maybe I'll grab a back up from Macy's on Thursday.

 

[Jennifae]

Thanks Elegant I can manage a pic on Thursday. But for now KS on the left & Oxblood on the right. KS is pinker while Oxblood is a beautiful peach.

They look different enough (to me) to want both yet close enough that I don't feel the need to backup Oxblood. I think I'll get a tube of KS instead of a backup of Oxblood.

That is exactly how I feel lol

Oxblood is officially HG nude status for me, second to Cherish, ofcourse. Will hunt for a good pencil liner for this when I go in store for Pencilled in.

Thanks!! I guess it's different enough from Enchanted One to justify buying it.

I just received my UPS package. We had extreme cold and my package was in the truck since 6:00 am according to the tracking..and guess what my Oxblood lipstick is frozen, my mascara is frozen solid and my AZ blush. I am freaking out right now..can extreme cold damage makeup? I know extreme heat can cause make to go bad, but I am not sure about the cold. Any know

Well of course that is how I knew it was a no go. I'm not keeping something that barely shows up on me when I have other items that do or can purchase something else. I expected better than what I received.

I think you can safely skip both.

Thanks !!!!

Did you get any of the lipsticks?

Did you get any of the lipsticks? 

Yes . Victoriana which I know will work has I like pinky reds.

The original has tons of pigmentation.

I just received my UPS package. We had extreme cold and my package was in the truck since 6:00 am according to the tracking..and guess what my Oxblood lipstick is frozen, my mascara is frozen solid and my AZ blush. I am freaking out right now..can extreme cold damage makeup? I know extreme heat can cause make to go bad,  but I am not sure about the cold. Any know

. Just let them sit on your counter overnight to thaw out and they'll be fine. Just don't set them in front of or near heat to make them thaw faster, otherwise that will definitely ruin them.

Thank you Erine for your reply, I really appreciate it. I had lipsticks melt or should I say sweat..lol. from being in back of the truck but never frozen,.

Sure thing! You mostly wanna be worried about it breaking off with it being frozen, so give it plenty of time worm back up to room temp.

I'm sorry to hear that, though I would like to clarify that my comment wasn't directed at anyone in particular. What I meant was don't discard the product without actually trying it as I've heard some girls do. I had the same problem with a couple of the the ED blushes Mac released almost 2 yrs ago and was never able to make them work on me. Like you I think that for $32 plus Mac really needs to step up their game.

 

[amillion]

Oh I know lol. Thanks for the clarification. There will always be more mac stuff that does work.

 

[CarmenK]

Yayy! thanks for the swatches! I'm excited to get my Oxblood tomorrow
