MAC - Love that Look Discussion

[Lauli]

I love this collection! Sadly it won't be coming here until August 15. At first when I heard of it I was like Meh... might get an e/s or two. But now my list has grown to:

Style Snob
Ego
Grand Entrance
Smoke & Diamonds

Maybe:
Unbasic White
Fashion

Strike A Pose is sooo georgeous but I just can't wear blues.. Might be able to pull off Fashion since it's a light blue but...

Btw, Erin that EOTD looks great!

[MissResha]

the MAC artist who helped me out yesterday, gorgeous chocolate chick...was wearing unbiased white, fashion and that blue one on her eyes and it was GORGEOUS!

[Face2Mac]

Rated R is OMG. It has more yellow in it than my other lime loud greens.

Style Snob and Strike a Pose has a dupe in Maybelline HIP duo in Sassy. yep. I personally don't like the HIP but they are good for the cheap.

One-off is perfection. I might be wearing One-off, strike a pose on the lid, tomorrow.

Smoke and diamonds is not Satin Taupe on me, but Sassy (that one from above) is satin taupe.
Fashion, I could have done without it, but oh well.

Style snob is what I thought it was going to be and I love it, not like Mauvement on me, it is warmer. perfect go to work neutral but can be smoked out, nicely.

I haven't been this satisfied with a total collection since last year.

I need a cigarette (but I don't smoke)

[TISH1124]

Style Snob was compared to Satin Taupe and S&D to Sweet Sienna...?? Then again maybe I missed something

[Face2Mac]

I think someone said smoke and diamonds was like satin taupe, but I could've made it up

[elementaire]

i managed to get unbasic white, s & d, glamour check! and one off. It's not out in Singapore yet but my bf bought these for me from LAX. Haven't gotten the chance to try any of them except one off. The texture is great and the color is to-die-for! I used bright future on my lids, one off in the crease and darkened the outer V with carbon. Gorgeous!

[SmokeSignal16]

Wow I love my eyeshadows I got and the liners, I think I am considering backups of the liners! *Can't stop admiring eyes in mirror* I used fashion and strike a pose together w/ fly-by-blu liner, soooo pretty *sigh*

No - not at all - it's a smidge lighter, and IMO has better texture and color payoff (I like WS too, but it's not as smooooth as Ego).

Mine too! I bought a backup of it last year, and bought another one this year since I think it has an even smoother texture this time around.

I got all of them but Fashion and REALLY love Unbasic White, Ego, One-off and Style Snob.....actually I just love all of them!

So many choices, so little time!!!

[1 UP Mushrooms]

I knew I wasn't crazy when I said Fashion is a very unique colour. I LOVE it so much!! I tried Fashion on the lid, S&D in the crease and Carbon on the outer v and it's awesome. I'm trying to convince myself that a b/u is unnecessary.

As far as the liners goes I swatched Black Russian, Rave & Fly By Bleu when I visited the store last week but Rave rub off really easily. The black & blue liners were much better.

i too love the liners as shadow! i just wish they would've brought wolf back.

[SmokeSignal16]

Oh yeah I second that for wolf! I remember how killer that looked when it first came out but me being a moron I skipped the pearlglides the first time round :/

I'm loving the combos you ladies are putting up so far. I was a little unsure of how to use SAP and OO - I have some great ideas now. Can't wait to try them! UPS better hurry...

[jenixxx]

Style Snob somehow ended up in my package even though I did not order it, WOO!

[luhly4]

Enjoy!

[jungleland]

Singaporean ladies this collection could launch tomorrow at least at ION.
I was there this morning and asked the MA!
She's supposed to text me to avoid me a wasted trip tomorrow but I didn't hear from her yet.

Oh, me too! I have 2 of the Wolf liners and wish I had bought a 3rd - I'm half-way through the second one.

We can always hope it will show up again

[elementaire]

today I did a look using unbasic white (this one is definitely back-up-worthy! It's so smooth and easy to blend) all over the lid up to my brow bones, s&d in my crease. Finally I darkened the outer v with glamour check! The texture of all three is a dream. Now I'm really tempted to get them all.

[FemmeFatale]

Finally bought smoke and diamonds, grand entrance and unbasic white. i was going to get one off, and still might but I wanted to only get the colors I knew i was going to use. I LOVE THESE SHADOWS! They are so blendable and amazing, makes me want to get them all, i have a bunch of empties so I will go back and get another color.

Smoke and Diamonds is perfection for me, totally back up worthy.

Definitely get it, it's one of the prettiest blues i've seen!

[Face2Mac]

If you have One-off, you must get Bottle Green (pro matte). I'm just saying.

Strike a Pose and One-off

**Off to order Fashion and Strike A Pose** This combo sounds so gorgeous- very wearable, which is hard to do sometimes with blues.
