MAC X Toledo Collection (Feb 5, 2015)

[Odelia]

I just got home and saw that swatches have appeared! Now to catch up with what everyone is saying on here =)) I like KR ombre blush (doesn't look like promo pics- I noticed from quick skimming that others agree!). I am liking the eyeshadows! Oh and Oxblood LG is looking creamy and nice like Bijou!

I know right!
I thought that at first. So I went to see her swatches from the Heirloom Mix collection and her Opera looks more like Sparks of Romance than Salon Rouge or FNF. I will wait and see what other swatches look like but it's no big deal if it's just another red... money saved!

You're right. It does look more like SoR. I might get Opera then. I really liked SoR, but I skipped it because of the shimmer/glitter.

It's a really pretty red but it's like others I have so I will pass. You should definitely go for it provided that the reviews on wear are favourable.

Does anyone own both Azalea Blossom, from a previous collex and Sunset Beach from Proenza Schouler? If so, do you think they're comparable?

I actually quite like the packaging design (with the red edges) than the compact design!! :haha:

Me too!

Excited to see swatches, woot! Definitely want Kindergarten Red, Oxblood lipglass, Barbecure l/g so far. Barbecue l/g looks so pretty! Think I also want Chloraphyll p/g. I originally had wanted the purple e/s palette, but I just order the Hourglass Exposure palette, so I feel like I should skip lol

So annoying!

Hopefully not a sign of limited numbers to go around!

I'd love to get Ripe Peach but I cannot pay $39cdn for a blush in a package that I find so unattractive.  :nope: Come on, MAC, repromote this in regular packaging with your normal blush price.

Ugh! Didn't realise it was that much! I was all excited with swatches and missed the prices lol. I just had a "wtf" moment and realised how expensive blushes have become (regardless of special packaging). Yikes! Granted we don't get many ombres....but still So many sad smileys, lol.

So much for Opera being a dark red!!! Definitely not what I expected it to be.

It could be just her lighting. Her swatches (sometimes) look brighter than the actual color (i.e. FNF, Salon Rouge, etc.).

:werd: yeah T swatches are always waaay off IMO

I just realized that the Proenza Schouler blushes were a little cheaper and contained more product... $30.00 for 0.49 oz. versus $32.00 for 0.35 oz. Proenza Schouler was a COUTURE collection, and the packaging looked a LOT nicer. That was less than a year ago. So, why is this more expensive?




I'm still going to buy Ripe Peach and Kindergarten Red because I feel like...

Sneak Peek: MAC x Toledos Collection Photos & Swatches I'm wondering if she forgot to add the blush swatches.

Yay I can finally make my list! So far it's- -Opera lipstick -Barbeque Lipglas -Ripe Peach blush

 

[Sweetyellow]

My list has become nice, short, and sweet because of recent swatches. I've crossed off all the blushes. I was intending on getting Ripe Peach but I'm afraid its going to look chalky and the price is a bummer.

Only grabbing 4 lipsticks and 1 lipglass.
