Not too over the top IMO also...what makes violet fire so special? in the pics it just looks like pretty purple. Girl, I can't even explain it, it just is LOL!!! It's a vibrant purple with an almost duochrome to it. Kind of like a "candy paint" finish on a tricked out Cadillac. If you can, try to check this one out in person. what would you say is a dupe for brave new bronze? Alot of ladies are comparing it to Creme de Nude. Hug Me looked similar too. I think I even have a Revlon shade that looks similar...just a little more pink. If you don't already own a nude like this, I would go ahead and get it sorry for so many questions but i'll probably have to order this all online. i do not have a mac close to me and i'm afraid by the time i get to one everything i want or think i want will be sold out!!!

You're welcome, I'm happy to help :0) My answers are in bold text

I just got back from the event, I was shocked at what I thought I wanted. The lipsticks were a major disappointed for me, I only got tribalist. I can't do frost finishes...sorry purple rite. Brave new bronze was so pale on me, just ugh. The lipglosses were ok, I got the dark purple one and the bronze one, can't remember names my bad. The yellow one when paired with lipstick adds a silver look to it.

The yellow eyeshadow is a must have! As is vibrant grape, I do believe they changed the texture like someone mentioned, it felt nothing like the one I have at home. I got night manuevers and its quite pretty when paired with the yellow.

Go get the blushes, at first I only wanted one but after swatching I got both, just gorgeous. Must haves IMO.

I went to a preview tonight and was a bit underwhelmed. I think I allowed myself to get caught up in the hype - tut! Some women were acting like damn fools in MAC tonight! Grabbing the testers, shoving, etc *rolls eyes*

I can't use my pro discount until the official launch so didn't buy any SW stuff but I've decided on..

Tribalist
Bright Future
The 2 BPB's
Bronze Hero
Bronzescape

That's my lot

 

[spectrolite]

Well damn it, my wish list just exploded after seeing the swatches.

I didn't think I'd be lusting after this many things. I'm planning on ordering:

Purple Rite lipstick
Tribalist lipstick
Brave New Bronze lipstick - maybe...I'm always after a good nude!
Night Maneuvers e/s
Bright Force e/s
Eversun +
On a Mission blush
Violet Force nail lacquer

I am really looking forward to this collection. It is very WOC friendly, unlike Rose Romance which i thought was too sheer for me personally.

Reviews, swatches and the packaging really got me excited about this collection. Everything seems wearable

Hey Ladies
I went to the event last night and got almost everthing I said I would. I really loved the collection but I always look foward to their summer collection. I ended up gertting one beauty powder in Eversun. On a mission was nice but I loved the glow Eversun gave me. I used Golden Bronze powder on top and it was fab. I got all of the lipglasses but the bronze one. I would have gotten the bronze one but I have about every other bronze lippe MAC has ever made. I bought two lipsticks Brave New Bronze and Purple Rite. Honey I can rock a frost all day long. Brave New bronze was really pretty with cork liner and gold rebel on top. I think Purple rite was prettier then Lavender Whip (imo). Tribalist was just way too dark for the summer and I really like lighter colors in the summer unless you are going out. The shadows were really pretty the only one I didn't get was tempting. Althought I think soft force will be going back looks too much like femme fi. The lustre drops were pretty but I live in the south and during the summer there is a fine line between dewey and greasy. Not a big fan of the solar bits. The bronzers were nice but nothing to get excited about. I really loved this collection but I can understand why some won't. Try it I personally think there is something in this for everyone.

I want to try and make the pink work for me, and if I can pull it off, I know you can. The pink one has this pretty opalescent thing going on, but since it is pink rather than white, maybe I can pull it off. I'll have to see.

I keep looking at this thread and now I think I might have to go back and order some luster drops, they seem to be a big hit. But here in the northwest we don't get sun so I really can't show some skin to show it off. Can I use it as a highlighter without it looking too shiny? And if so which one looks best on NC45 to NC50?

But I did find a way to make tribalist look great for summer. I dab a bit on, then smudge with my finger, it adds the prettiest stain to my lips, lasts all day. I paired it with gold rebel today, beautiful.

And I think I want liberated....I need a mac detox badly.

Prototype83, thanks for the swatches! I have to admit that Soft Force looks really close to Femme-Fi and Triblalist looks like a deep purple on you. I may have to check that one out.

I swatched the Pink one and the pink color disappeared into my skin...completely and left a gold SHEEN. Nope, not for S18.50.

Well I went to the event on Tuesday and it was quite a bit of people there. I guess cuz it was only a two hour event. I really liked the collection. I ended up getting Bright Force. It's like a softer shimmery Chrome Yellow. Can't wait to use it. I got Tempting in the pan. I got Vibrant Grape. It did seem to feel like a satin. I passed on the other two. Soft Force was just another highlight. I don't have Femme Fi but I will go to my CCO and get it.

I bought Purple Rite. That was a must have color. It is so pretty and like a mix of pink and lavender. More of the latter. Just pretty. I got the lipglass in the Fierce and Fabulous to wear over it. Lovely I tell ya. Tribalist was pretty but I don't wear many dark lippies and this one was dark on me. I got Sunsational. This is a sensational color on me. I bought Gold Rebel to wear with it. This is going to be THE summer color for my lips. So subtle and gorgeous. My friend is darker than I and it did nothing at all for her.

I got On a Mission. So pretty. I wore it yesterday. I love the fact that I can build on it. This is my first ever BPB and I must say I am a fan. The Eversun was bronzy and didn't give me the wow factor. I didn't bother with the bronzers.

Violet Fire I bought because it was just so pretty purpuly. LOL. Two coats of this is stunning. I can't wait to get these toes done with it. I was very impressed and I just may go back. Liberated was so sheer I would have been crazy to get it, LOL. I compared it to Goldy Rocks or whatever that Dazzleglass name is, and it's no comparison. The DG has a lot more yellow to it. The Style Warrior Lipglass reminded me of my Supreme that I got. Just a bronze. Actually is way darker than my Supreme. Matched my skin too perfect.

So overall I think this is a universal collection for all shades of colors. I will try to post swatches later
