Thanks for the link! Okay I was looking forward to the choc. coloured pp but now its like meh. Groundwork i can pass on since its regular line. But Ochre Style--I like that its a cream...looks like it'd be closer to my skin tone for a base than say the ghastly painterly. Hmmm shall be interesting to see it in person. With regards to e/s I want them all as of right now!! Must..remember...to...compare...swatches...in...st ore tomorrow!!

Why the heck does MAC show Groundwork as being green-y on their site, but actual swatches looks like a nice brown? Boo...my bad...I never swatched it in person, and have ordered pp's online so I never looked closely at it since I didn't want green. JEEZ!

Here's another link with photos & an article about the N collection being used in the Spring 2008 fashion shows:

Thanks for that. I'm really loving 2N, 3N and 5N and maybe one or two of the shadows. The MSFs are a given...warmed isn't as dark as I thought it would be and I really am liking Demi-Blanc. But I will still need to see this all in person! Off I go to MAC tomorrow!

I actually prefer the Nordstrom color swatches to those on the MAC site too, so I'm looking forward to seeing those hopefully tomorrow.

I think that one looks very pretty from what we can tell! Let us know how you like it when you get it.

Omgosh!! I went into my counter today and talked to the MAs as they were setting up the display!! I couldn't watch them put up the entire display because it was such a TEASE! But I am definitely going back tomorrow morning!! I saw lightflush/warmed and nanogold/neutral pink and some other stuff but MANNN I AM SO EXCITEDDD. Definitely getting lightflush and nanogold and we'll have to swatch the rest and see. There is this glow to lightflush that I LOVE!!!!

WEEEEEE!!

I'm only going to get the 2 MSFs and the Charged Water in Renewal Defense.

For those who were curious about the Warmed msf, I did the online chat thing and they gave me this info.:

SMMY: Hi MAC, I'm interested in the new mineralize skinfinish in Warmed. I would like more information about the finish though. Is it smooth like Lightscapade was or more chunky and glittery like Glissade was?
MAC: Hi SMMY. I find that Warmed is smoother and not quite as glittery as Glissade.
SMMY:Also is it suitable for my skin tone (NC25) or might it be too dark?
MAC: It is golden bronze, so it will work okay for your skin tone, but don't apply it all over your face. Just along your cheekbones. It will warm your skin nicely.
SMMY: Thanks for the information, I just want to make sure before I order.

MAC: You're welcome!
MAC: As a thank you for chatting with us today, I would like to offer complimentary Standard shipping with your next MAC Cosmetics Online purchase. Please enter the one-time use offer code CS83LIVECHAT during the checkout process (US Residents only).

Hope this helps someone out.

OK...NOW I am totally in love with this collection again after looking at the swatches.

The other day the UPS guy asked my hubby 'what is in all those little black boxes?' *snickers*- which he has been delivering waaaay too frequently When hubby told the UPS guy that it was MAC makeup the guy laughed & rolled his eyes! Hubby just responded... "a girls gotta have her makeup"

lilMAClady · 01-09-2008, 07:45 PM #**314** (**permalink**)

I wonder how dark edge compares with showstopper? Or, if you wanted a warmer look handwritten? I don't want to have too many similar colors...how frustrating lol!

i really appreciate the effort that the girl on MUA has gone through to show us swatches, but i find that swatches on paper dont give me a good idea of the colour at all

i know it's difficult to swatch everything on your arm and keep it in one piece, but aww...i hope some skin swatches show up soon!

I have often wondered what my UPS guy thinks!!!

I am afraid this collection is growing on me. I quite like those 2 eyeshadows and that MSF is pretty too!

Hi! I'm kinda new in this forum =D

I was wondering, has anyone tried the Mineralize Skinfinish/Natural in MEDIUM?

Is it worth the buy?

Also, anyone already gotten the Mineralize SkinFinish WARMED and LIGHTFLUSH? I LOVEEE this golden sheen on my face...Idk which one would be better =x

Thanks!!

I did a LIVECHAT. I'm a C4 (SF) and NC42 concealer (olive/yellow skin)

Rebecca: Hi Amt. I was lookin for some suggestions for the N collection that would compliment my skin.
Rebecca: Amy*
Amy: Hi Rebecca, I'm happy to make suggestions!
Amy:For your eyes, start with MODEST TONE Eye Shadow over your eyelids with RICH FLESH or REMOTELY GREY going through your crease. Line your eyes with Brownborder Technakohl Liner. Add Light Flush Mineralize Skinfinish to your cheeks using Brush #188. For your lips.......
Amy:Do you like neutral/nude lip shades or do you feel comfortable wearing more colour (richer browns/berries/plums/burgundy/reds)?
Rebecca: I'd rather have a more nude lip
Amy:I recommend trying either combo with this eye: 1N Lipstick and 1N Lipglass or the 3N Lipstick with the 2N Lipglass.
Rebecca: Would the 4N lipglass have too much color for me? It looks like a beautiful color, but I would need it to be just on the borderline of becoming dark. Does that make sense?
Amy:It's dark, so it's going to be more colour for you. It's very pretty though and will definitely go with your complexion. It's a medium/dark bronze with plum undertones.
Rebecca: Alright. Another question I had: you would definetly recommend to me light flush rather than warmed msf?
Rebecca: I've heard good things about a lot of the msf's but I have never tried one before
Amy:You can wear either of the Mineralize Skinfinish. Warmed is perfect for your skin tone and it will give you more of a bronzer type effect. Light Flush is more coral/pink and will give you more of a blush effect on your cheeks. Both are very easy to wear and not too much at all.

I was curious as to the Lipstick N1...it seems from the pics that it may have that goldish outer covering??? I have & LOVE Soft Lust lipstick. It has that gold outer covering, but when you use it, it kinda disappears. Beautiful! If the 1N has this I'm thinking I might like it too.

Dun Dun Dun.... the PINK MSF!!

That is so funny that you wrote this. I was just complaining to my hubby today about how the swatch looks vastly different from the color in the pot itself!! I cannot believe how totally different they look. If you didn't actually read the description underneath the swatch itself you would be completely shocked when it was delivered. I don't know why it irks me so bad but I am so glad to see someone else noticed it!!!

Anyway, I am in love with the entire collection. I will be broke by next week. The only products I will most likely pass on will be the polishes. And, of course, the ones that are already sold out online.
