Release dates for Germany

Anneri, for me Tweet Me is prettier than Melon. It looks more like Rubenesque p/p. I didn't like Melon because there's too much gold in it. Also turned out that I didn't like pigments that much either because of the fallouts and I have to be very careful when applying them. Tweet me is the shade I first fall in love with after swatching .

Naynadine, so far I personally think the texture of the Lip Colors is wonderful. Not as sticky as lipglosses, and not as drying as MAC lipsticks. After a while it felt like a lip stain on me. But I know how hard it is if you have to order blind. I could never do that either because colors often turned out so different on my skintone, especially lip colors.

The new Viva Glam lippies will come out with Wonder Woman in March. Yay!!

 

[MACina]

Thank you very much for the information Susanne!!!

I am looking soooooooo much forward to the new Lady Gaga Lipstick

 

[Anneri]

So I tried the new e/s today (only good thing on a crappy day. Can you imagine that I have a stomach bug AGAIN?! I'm literally sick of it and not being able to eat!) and honestly, I've NEVER tried something better. They are marvellous. I did a look with Prance, Noir Plum and Unflappable and it's gorgeous, shimmery, smooth. They blend like a dream and you're able to build them up so that you'll reach the true colour it shows in the pan.

My bf wants to cheer me up tonight, so I guess he'll bring me a little black bag! (I hinted at Tweet me. *g* Let's hope he too the hint!)

Astrid (I forgot to answer your question, sorry!), in the store I thought that Noir Plum and Unflappable swatched poorer than the others, but today, when I used them, I found that not to be the case. Ego and Dandizette were totally fine in the display.

Sadly, I love the feeling of the lipcolours on my lips, but they last about two hours on me - which is disappointing. But I love the colours!

Enjoy your haul(s), ladies!

 

[cutemiauw]

Oh no, not the stomach bug again, Anneri

. Hope you'll feel better soon

.

Good to know with the mega metal texture! Hmm... Should I get Noir Plum and Unflappable too? Seemed like I want all the eyeshadows from this collection now.
Btw, I tried Odalisque today, and even though I didn't think the look work well enough (yet- I'm not used to using teal colors), the color was just very pretty. Very nice indeed .

I'm also thinking in getting another lipcolor... probably I'll try Super. I'm loving the texture of it. No hair sticking to the lips. Stickiness sucks when you're wearing glasses and it's windy outside

.

maccosmetics.de has the collection up now. I'm using every possible restraint not to get anymore of them.... There's a film festival coming up in Berlin and I want to watch some movies too

Enjoy your hauls and have fun playing with them

 

[Chester]

Wow, you all seem to enjoy your hauls, ladies! I went to the MAC counter yesterday and got Dalliance, Prance and Tweet Me. I liked Ego but decided against it since I don't wear green e/s that much. Same with Odalisque. And I skipped Mating Call, Sexpectations and the other purple e/s. I already have so many like-wise colors. No need to shell out the extra cash.

I'm not sure if I really like Dalliance. It's more greenish grey than I imagined. The color looks a bit dull on my eyes, I think it makes me look tired, despite the metallic finish. What are your experiences with Dalliance?

Chester

 

[cutemiauw]

Chester, I wore Dalliance all over the lids today. It was a nice color, but I'm not (yet) so crazy about it either. On my complexion it suited well, and I couldn't see the green after I applied it. It's more of a pale gold sheen... I was afraid it's too pale, but it's not.

Btw, I went back for a second haul. I was going to wait until next month, but I panicked when I saw them gone so fast on Douglas. I got Unflappable & Super. I think I'm done hauling now for a little while.

 

[Susanne]

I did B2M for Angel today! And skipped Peacocky. I look forward to March!

 

[Anneri]

Strangely, I loved Dalliance most of the e/s - in theory, so to speak. Now that I have it, I don't really now what to wear with it. I don't want to pair it with green - any other suggestions?

 

[cutemiauw]

Enjoy your new lippy, Suzanne!

I think I'm skipping March collection except for VG Gaga II, if the shade looked alright on me. Sadly, none of the upcoming collections appeals to me. Well, actually it's good. My wallet needs a breather.

Now, I thought I'm done with Peacocky, but Spectacle of Yourself & Noir Plum are still calling my name. I just love the texture of them! I hope it'll still be available next month even though the MUA at Douglas said they are only available until the end of February :/.

Dalliance has the most wonderful texture! I'm going to try pairing it up with Odalisque today. It's weekend, it's dark, time for bolder looks

 

[bis]

Ahh, this is torture, I still need to wait until next week to look at Peacocky, cannot wait to try the lip colours. You make them all sounds so great. Enjoy your new goodies Astrid, if you are skipping the next collections anyways and you like the Peacocky colours and know you will get a lot of use out of them, why not?

 

[cutemiauw]

Bis: because my wallet is screaming "it's only the beginning of the month and you've spent that much?"

. I try to restrain at least for a week

, also to be sure I'm really loving the formula and not just the excitement of having a new product. Other than that, no other reason to hold back

.
Let us know what are your thoughts on this collection

 

[Chester]

@ cutemiauw and Anneri:
I agree. It's quite pale. Yesterday I wore Dalliance on the lid with Tweet Me in the crease. Now, the crease had almost no accent unless you count the gold sheen but at least Dalliance had lost that greenish tint. It was a lovely metallic pale gold.
I have the theory that cool-toned colors like green and grey will emphasize the greenish cast in Dalliance, and warmer colors will make it more golden.

@Susanne:
Enjoy Angel!

@bis:
We don't want to torture you! We're just hinting at the good stuff.
I hope that everything you want is still there next week.

Chester

 

[bis]

cutemiauw, you are right, spending all the money at once it not really a very sensible thing to do So maybe you can try them out some more and see if it's the formula and not just because they are new? Thanks for the hints, Chester I cannot wait for the new lip colours. I asked my counter to hold some things, so I hope it worked. If not, well, I am pretty sure the world will continue moving The sun is out, we might see a spring after all. Hope you are feeling better Anneri.

 

[Anneri]

I'm still ill and going to see the doc tomorrow morning. Really, it's getting on my nerves - I've been ill for all of 2011 until now. Isn't that great?!

In other words, I got Tweet me. But: We're not getting on very well - yesterday I tried a look with Tweet me, Antiqued and Center Stage, and Antiqued on TM was a muddy mess (and strangely nearly the same colour as CS. Huh?). I found TM not very vibrant - maybe I really like Melon better? Idk.
Today I wore TM again, this time with a soft brown in the crease and Showstopper in the outer V and it was alright, I suppose. But then my bf came and had a look (he's quite good at judging my MU) and commented on the poor blending! And it was true - apart from the other mega metals, I had really blending issues with TM. It's always such a bother to give back used products, so maybe it'll just go to the clearance bin.

Now I'm unsure - should I still get Paparrazz-she? I think it could be a good colour for hazel eyes - and it would def. be unique in my collection!

 

[cutemiauw]

@Chester:
you could be right on. I'm going to test wearing Dalliance with some purples and see where it'll take me

@bis:
yep, that's what I thought... and it's not like I didn't have any eyeshadow besides the mega metal

. Also last Saturday I found a nice shirt dress from Hallhuber at 50% off

.

@Anneri:
Oh dear that sucks with being ill. Hope the visit to the doc will make it all better soon!
Also, sorry to hear your experience with Tweet Me. I didn't have a problem with it. I used UDPP underneath it, patted the eyeshadow on my lid. But perhaps it's my skin color that made TM's color quite forgiving when it's not superbly blended... I don't know.
I've heard a lot of people praising Papparaz-she. If you like it, get it! I think it's a lovely shade of orange from what I've seen from the FOTDs.

 

[Anneri]

Thanks for all the wishes, girls! I'm really quite ill, and will stay at home for the whole week. I'm quite weak because my body apparently don't want to process food. It really really really sucks!!!

Because I'm online nearly all the time now, online shopping is really tempting - and dangerous... ;-) I'll very likely order at Douglas today. *g* And some n/ps in the US...

 

[hyazinth]

Hi Ladys, great that you all enjoy your Peacocky hauls so much I was so busy that I could not write anything here and I even did not get around to test my haul jet.

I got: Flaunting it, Super, Whoo me, Exxhibitionist, Dandizette, Mating Call, Prance, Odalisque, Tweek me, so far..

Oh that's so bad. How are you felling sweetie? Any better now? Hope you recover soon.
Did you order at douglas again? *just curious* I know what you mean, to much time for looking around online can be really bad for the wallet, especially with such a great MAC collection around.

Oh and I almost forgot to write...there will be Events for the Wonderwoman Collection. Have you heard about that jet? In munich it will be at Ludwig Beck from 21.2. till 5.3. just got that info trough the mac newsletter. I think the Events will be in other citys too then...
Anyone going?

What about blue? Maybe something like Deep Truth, Dandizette or similar? Even chocolate brown or a coffee brown colour might go really well with it.

I did B2M for Angel today! And skipped Peacocky. I look forward to March!

Hi Sussanne, I leave for Berlin today and was wondering where do you B2M? Mac PRO store or elsewhere?

Thanks!
