MAC N Color Collection discussion

[stashblaster]

Placed my order for both the MSF's. I really, really wanted to order more but the pictures are just to hard to read. It's soooo disappointing when a package finally arrives and it isn't what I hoped for. My closest MAC is two hours away so I need to do online buying. I missed out on New Vegas because I hemmed and hawed to long about the color. At least with the free ship code, I can add a couple of shadows later after seeing some IRL swatches.

MAC: Hi SMMY. I find that Warmed is smoother and not quite as glittery as Glissade.[/font]

Hope this helps someone out.

w00t!

I was planning on getting New Vegas MSF too but when I got to the counter, I changed my mind and decided not to get it. I hope this won't happen again when i go to the counter tomorrow to pick up the two MSF.

Well, I did it! I placed my order for Light Flush!! And I treated myself to a Signature Bag, as well. This is so exciting for me! I've never bought a MSF new, always second hand since I jumped on the band wagon a little too late!

I was tempted to buy 2N, but I just don't wear lippies in general the often, and I am really weary about buying someting without playing with it or see better swatches.

I just hope I get a pretty swirly Light Flush though!

I was in the mall today and popped my head into the mac store. They told me that the N collection wasn't being released in stores til NEXT Thursday the 17th. When they said Thursday, I said "Ok I'll be back tomorrow", they said no on the 17th. To make matters worse they had the display in the back and pointed it out to me. I'm gonna call tomorrow.

Me too! That was my chief concern. I'm hoping the texture are a bit more finely milled and more glow than glitter in color payoff. It almost looks like Shimpagne for ladies of color, which is a very good thing. I've already ordered Light Flush, but for Warmed, I really want to see it in person. I'm hoping it's as pretty as it looks in the pictures.

everything about this collection looks "pretty"... the display... the colors... the idea behind it is even cute. BUT its not anything we havent seen guys. EVERYTHING looks like something else we've come out with just slightly tweaked. and yes all the lipsticks are lustres with the exception of one glaze (which isnt THAT different anyway) i dont know why they keep bringing out lustres UGH. HATE HATE. so many of the lipsticks in this collection could have been perfect had the finish been different.

and the MSFs... pish posh. i dont know why everyone makes a big deal over them. how many shimmery powders do we REALLY need for our faces lol MAC does over-do that... the MSFs are nice but again look like other colors. i really dont see the difference of ALL MSFs to be honest. on the skin they look the same to me. they just reflect slightly different.

anyway, thats my rant about the collection. it WILL be pretty easy to sell though because its neutral and will be easy to demo on everyone and can create "pretty" makeup.

In your opinion, what are the eyeshadows similar to? I am trying to find excuses to skip at least half of them...

What city are you in? I've called my local Mac store twice to make sure and they've confirmed that it will out and available to purchase tomorrow.

I'm actually really excited about Light Flush MSF. I only recently got really into MAC, so I was not here for the other MSF's (except for New Vegas, but I was looking for a pink one from MAC). So a lot of you have already been around for MSF releases, but I haven't so I'm still excited as this is very "new" to me

I am also a HUGE fan of nude lip products so I can never get enough of those lol. I'm still waiting to see them swatched on someones skin though so I can get a better idea of which ones I need!

[gigglegirl]

Poop. Tomorrow is going to be painful. I'm so EXCITED! I will have to restrain myself. As of right now, I want 4 e/s, either both MSFs or one and one natural, perhaps the yellow pp, and a lipstick or two? I will try and B2M for the latter, as I don't think my bank account could handle much more damage.

>< I am so pumped for this collection though!

*lol* I got to check out the collection a bit today but only as the counter (Hillcrest) was closing, but everything does look really pretty. She was showing them to me behind the regular displays tho, so it was hard to see one thing from another. I was most interested in Soft Ochre paint pot which she did swatch on me, and I would've taken a picture of it except that it COMPLETELY BLENDED IN WITH MY SKIN!! You guys would've thought I totally cheated you out on a swatch!

I've held out on buy Painterly b/c it's waaay too pink on my NC30 Asian skintone and I'm so glad I did. Can't say much on the rest of the collection - oh, except for Light Flush. Someone above said it's similar to Porcelain Pink but I think it's more pigmented than that, enough for a light blush. I didn't swatch it tho, only eyed it from between displays.

[Chachababy]

Light Flush is what I want! I saw this picture of a model with makeup done by Pat McGrath in a magazine a few months ago and she did this awesome looking pearly pink cheek. The skin had the perfect sheen! I have been trying to replicate it. I hope this does it!

[redambition]

this collection looks awesome! finally seeing pics has now cemented my interest.

The counter I would have to go to at Macys told me the same thing.

I was curious about 1N lipstick (looks like thats the one the model is using in the site promo pic) - the MAC Artist I just talked with on the phone said it is similar to Brew but more beige than white - very sheer, very subtle gold not a pronounced presence of gold. She said it is beautiful, she loves it but you need to wear a liner with it.

I ordered 3 lipsticks, I guess whats one more.

The MSF pic posted there really makes me want to buy Light Flush, though it probably wouldn't really show up on my NC35/40 skintone :/ as more than a pinkish glow.

It really does look pretty! It would probably look lovely on you over top a deeper rose color blush. Or, it may just give a nice day glow to your face on its own.

Here are some really good pics of the Lightflush MSF (with comparison of Porcelain Pink MSF) from LJ!! I can't wait for mine to arrive today!

Light Flush reminds me a lot of Northern Light MSF from Flashtronic....I wonder if I should bring it with me to the counter to compare or would that seem really weird?
