It is an opaque peach color, and thick. Kind of sticky. It can be bright so i would put a little on, let it warm a bit and build the color. I didn't see the pink in it that would make it more coral, like I originally thought.

i'm feeling the same way. i used the new concealer and i'm loving it.

I still haven't made up my mind on what I want to get from this collection but I can't wait til it's released!!! I definetely want all 3 n/l, Bite of Apple blush, and She Who Dares m/e. I have my eye on Heartless l/s and a couple of l/g and the cooling powder but I will wait to swatch them first.

 

[Twinkle_Twinkle]

For sure I know that I want BoA and the two MES, and probably Hothouse l/g. I think that may be it though...

I was able to play with the collection today, here's my list:

Lipstick

Heartless

Lipgloss

wrongspell
strange potion
hot house
w. ways


Blush

Bite of an Apple....yummy on woc

Both MES..fire

Powder: Cajun..

enough said...

I honestly do not want anything from the collection. I was eyeing the wicked ways l/g but I have just decided that I am going to buy dragon lipgloss from chanel instead. Soo...again I will be passing another large mac collection....mac has been disappointing me so much lately though that it doesnt even bother me especially with the price hike.

Had big fun at the unveiling tonight. I got Revenge is Sweet, Wrong Spell and Hot House lip glosses. I got both of the MES. I slept on the Style Black ones because I was prejudiced against glitter. I also got Bit of Apple and Bad Fairy nail polish.

Outside of this collection, I picked up the pro longwear concealer and Docile from Fab Felines.

 

[sss215]

I went to an event last night and got: BoA blush, both MES, Revenge is Sweet, De-vil, and Vainglorious.

Bite of an Apple blush is extremely pretty. Pigmented enough and the perfect coral for me. All the other coral type blushes never showed up on me. This one right here is beautiful on. WOC, check it out.

The colors are grown up enough. on trend for fall. The packaging idea was a little simple, but that's where it stops. I didn't love any of the lip products outside of Revenge is Sweet because everything was either done before or too bright for me. Check out the BoA blush if you decide to take a peek.

I hope to get some pics on here later.

sss215 would you say the lipglasses are very sticky? I usually stay away from lipglasses in favor of lustregloss because of the sticky factor, but I'm really interested in some of these colors.

 

[Curly1908]

Yay! There are brown girl swatches for VV now!!!!

Toxic Tale looks a hot mess on brown skin, but all the other lippies look beautiful!!!!

 

[banana1234]

really? i thought it really suited shontay in the swatch thread?

Revenge is Sweet is not sticky at all. Wicked Ways had a nice texture. Some of the others seemed to be. Wrong Spell is very pigmented. A little goes a long way. I prefer lustreglasses too.

yes, finally! MAC should have sent a well know brown beauty blogger a press kit or something. Oh well.

 

[shontay07108]

Toxic Tale is great on brown skin. It was made for us. Some may not like it, but that leaves more for those of us who love it and dare to step outside of the box. It's a must.

Heartless and Strange Potion is also great for WOC. I think those are the top 3 products in this collection for WOC.

Edit to say, Hot House is great for WOC also. I skipped it because I already have similar colors.

Does Bit of an Apple look like Exhibit A?

Karen from Makeup and Beauty Blog is brown and she has the entire collection as a press kit.

The short answer is no.
Exhibit A is brighter and more in your face than Bite of An Apple. Exhibit A brings intense drama to your face. Now don't get me wrong BOA isn't a wimpy blush by any means. It's also a bright blush but Exhibit A is brighter. Exhibit A is described as a brilliant red on the NARS site and BOA is clearly a coral with hints of red. I have both and they are different enough to me to warrent that. HTH

I attented the unveiling party on Tuesday night. I exercised restraint and only purchased the two mineralized eye shadows (I missed with the Style Black collection) and the Formidable nail polish. I also picked up the Longwear concealer. I don't think I need or want anything else from this collection.

She is brown, but not the brown I was talking about. I am talking about the obvious: NW43, NW45, NW47, NC50, etc. Karen's swatches don't show you what the colors will look like on someone who is in those color ranges. I like that I can see the texture and finish from her swatches, but as far as coloring no. I'm talking someone my color getting a press kit and blogging about it. There was nothing out there like that.

^^IA. (Thanks for answering my question earlier). I've been looking all over to see what would work for a chocolate sister like me. Thanks Shontay for your swatches - we appear to be similar shades and it was very helpful.

Does anyone know if Wicked Ways is similar to Venetian lustreglss? I'm wanting to try more true reds.
