C-Shock

[allan_willb]

the finishes.also, going bananas is like right in the middle.Chrome is like a rich royal yellow with some orange and canary is more dull/dry looking (no frost) almost like a pale yellow.So going bananas is the new hit because you will be able to do a lot with this shadow.Lid crease or highlight.How ever you want.Chrome yellow is also being dc at this time.=(

[Showgirl]

I'm so excited by the look of this collection and so excited they've decided to make the bright shadows frost rather than matte - it's not that I hate mattes or anything, they're just SO variable in consistency....

*sigh* and I thought I actually had achieved ENOUGH Mac at last, lol

[allan_willb]

i know right!one thing with mac they will never stop.the collections keep on growing and growning year after year! and may is right around the corner and in may we have 5 yes FIVE launches!Get ready girls!

[FabWineTastings]

Ohhh, I think I need that teal eyeshadow and also the banana one! I will definately be bright this summer!

Back on topic, I appreciate all the great info about this collection, but I guess I'm unclear as to whether this collection is LE or permanant... Is it just a coincidence that Chrome Yellow is being d/c'd around the same time that Going Bananas is being released? allan_willb almost made it sound like GB was replacing CY.. too good to be true?

Yes, The whole C-Shock collection is LE except passionate (re-launch).But hey you never know is going bananas does good then maybe they will make it perm or re-launch it later?They always re-launch but never seems to be the exact items we wish they did.

Please keep the thread on topic. This is a thread for discussion of the C-Shock collection.

The color story thread for this collection has always displayed what items are perm / LE. :thumbsup:

argh i feel so guilty, i got She-Boom! and Sugar Shock lipgelees off ebay for over US retail price *feels sick* but at least it still works out alot cheaper than crappy australian retail over here!

tried bidding on Lil Sizzler but that went for $25

will let you know what those two are like when i get them

[EmbalmerBabe]

Sugar Shock lipgelee looks so damn hot. I am pouncing on that one.
Maybe Lil Sizzler all though it looks slightly boring in the pic.
All the shadows will be mine! Even though I have no where to wear
them too....lol. Hopefully I can pass on the lipsticks.
Moon Bathe will be crushing along with its friends Tendertones,Slimshines,and Sunstrip. I need a 500.00 allowance from the MAC fairy for all this stuff. Good thing I am passing on Strange Hybrid completely.

[noellethediva]

OMG. This is absolutely terrible. My wallet is still feeling the sting of barbie. I looooove bright e/s and subtle lips. Those e/s are gorrrrgeous.

Please tell me it isn't so I love Chrome yellow, although mine will last me forever! But still...

I really like all the eyeshadows but I am not sure if I would wear them. I feel the urge to buy them just to look at them

[lilviolingrrl]

Is it just me or does Mega look like Flattery (Lightful, Asian exclusive) and Lil Sizzler look like Ambient (Lightful, Asian exclusive)?

[noangel]

going bananas looks the best to me! always wanted chrome yellow but we don't have pro stores in my country so guess this will be just nice!

chrome yellow is not a pro color

[JediFarfy]

Hm, might get a lipgelee, and at the most, the orange eyeshadow. Bright just doesn't work for me at all. Guess I can go crazy with the next few collections. :P

Whew! Glad I'm not the only one! :P Looks like I'll pass on those babies...my Lightful CP just came in the mail!

Maybe that's why MAC makes the name a sticker for the lip gelees instead of printing it on the tube...

Those items have stickers because they're "samples", as in someone working for MAC received them to test or play around with. If you check the swatch threads, there are pics of many upcoming collections items with stickers on them.

If you read the earlier posts, someone else already mentioned how similar those lipgelees looked to those of the Lightful collection in Asia, so you're not alone.

The last 2 or 3 Lipgelee's I've purchased directly from a MAC counter have had a sticker on the tube with the color/name instead of the name being printed directly on the tube. Ex - Moonstone, Amber Russe. It's a small clear label with black writing. These were not samples, and were purchased BNIB from MAC. My Who's That Lady is the same way also.

So is my Dame in a Dress!

Yeah, I think she was thinking about that big old white sample sticker.

AAACK!
You're joking!
We definitely need a smiley that clutches its chest.
How, oh, how, are we supposed to spend May saving up for C-Shock when we're mercilessly clobbered with one collection after another?
What are the five May collections, dare I ask?

[Krasevayadancer]

The color stories are in the color collections. But they are: Slimshine, Strange Hybrid, Moonbathe, tendertones, and Sunstrip. Lots of awesome stuff.
Oh and if you count the nordstrom only quad, its 6!
