MAC Bloggers Obsessions Discussion

[OctoberViolet]

Everything looks so beautiful. I really want AMPL because I'm a major purple-aholic, but I hate lipgloss.
If MAC will only make a lipstick that color I'd be sooooo happy. I am still in the "thinking" mind of buying
it just because it's so pretty & so very purple. Thanks Katred for all the swatches!!!

Hey all... I've uploaded a couple of comparisons into the products swatches discussion... I'll try to put up more tomorrow but I really have to go to bed now (uploading images seems to be taking longer than usual)... I do have a review and swatches/ comps posted on my blog:

http://morelikespace.blogspot.com/2011/06/making-faces-product-review-mac.html

I should be able to get more swatches and comparisons up here tomorrow. Bottom line: I'm really impressed with the detail and the originality of the shades I got. It's very obvious that a lot of thought went into the creation of each individual product.

Who's the great enabler now?

Last night I managed to take everything but Caqui off my list but your review and swatches made me want Hocus Pocus and Sonoran Rain again.

m0rg3nst3rn's swatch of Nitro:licious 2046 made me drool

Can you share with us some thoughts about the formula? Did you find the application even?

It was really nice and even. I almost wore it today to work but I'm wearing red so i figured I'd look tacky, lol. I was upset at first that I bought another red gloss but after playing with it last night, I am happy that I did get it.

I must say that I really enjoyed the texture of all of the eyeshadows as well. They were nice and soft and had great pigmentation, which makes me wish I would have used a brush for my swatches because the color wanted to stay on my fingers. I put on Hocus Pocus today and it applied really smooth and evenly. I am not disappointed in any of my purchases.

SNS has a lot of glitter and just glistens, but it doesn't seem like it will have fallout issues. I will wear it tomorrow and let you all know what I think but from swatches it seems like it is fine because the glitter didn't even travel.

Thank you so much for your review!
This means my original wish list returns except for Jealousy Wakes. Luckily I had decided not to get it before it sold out.

Mine is due to arrive today! It shipped from KY but it always does for me (I'm out west). It takes too dang long to get to the west coast so I paid the extra $5 for second day shipping.

Katred - thanks so much for those comparison swatches. I cannot wait to get HP & JW but I will be immediately wearing AMPL. Too gorgeous. I have most of the glosses you compared to, so I'm glad it's different!

Afulton - thanks for the swatch of SNS. I was hoping for a sparkly (heh, no pun intended) neutral and it looks like this could be it. It looks great on you!

If I can get good pictures I'll post swatches.

Mine is on the truck and out for delivery! :happydance: I really want to take a shower and sleep, but I have to wait. I'm so excited that I have the door to my room open and I am ready to practically jump over a dozen stairs and to the door.

My package is coming tomorrow! I just got Evolution Revolution and Nitrolicious l/s. I haven't been wearing much eyeshadow this summer because it is so hot in Texas right now, so I figured a lipglass or two couldn't hurt.

 

[queen_kitty]

Mine is due to arrive tomorrow! I don't think I've ever gotten an order so fast considering I ordered Monday night! Usually it takes until the next week to get it for me with standard shipping I'm so excited to see Jealousy Wakes and Hocus Pocus in person! They look so lovely! I'll try to do some comparisons as well, even though they've already been done!

 

[hoshiakari_]

I hear ya, littlelamb.
It's been raining here and it just feels muggy and gross. x_x

But looking forward to swatches from all you lovely ladies!<3

Mine is on the way, due to arrive tomorrow. I can't wait

I just got my package! I love everything! My haul is small(and relatively cheap) but it's so awesome. I got Caqui, Sonoran Rain, Jealousy Wakes and Hocus Pocus. My favorite item is Caqui. Seriously, this gloss is fantastic. It's pigmented, reddish-orange. It's definitely orange, but not scary because of the pinch of red and I love that there's zero shimmer. This and Krazy Kahuna is all I need for the Summer. I am about to order another. By far, the best coral/orange gloss I own. Sonoran Rain is gorgeous. Don't know what else I can possibly say. Glad I decided to get it in the end. I don't know which shadow is my favorite. Jealousy Wakes is worth the hype. None of my greens(and I have a lot because it's my fave shade of eyeshadow) are the same. It's richly pigmented, shimmery and so, so gorgeous. C'mon and restock Mac so everyone can buy it. Hocus Pocus is the kind of color that I love. It's dark and sexy without being boring. It's like a gray with some kind of brown undertone. There's also shimmer. It's so buttery soft. I love the Satin formula anyway, so... That's it for me. Usually, when I get a few pieces of a collection that are awesome, I am tempted to buy out the rest but not this time. I am not interested in ER(too sheer for my dark lips) and AMPL(again, I can't do purple anymore. I just can't. Overload) and the other shadows seem nice, but I probably won't reach for them. I'm just going to get another Caqui because it's my new love. (PS: I wondered why the hell my box was so heavy and then I realized I ordered the to go pack of the Mac wipes. :lol

I've never been so happy to see the word "sooty"

HP & PS look exactly like I thought they would - Perfect!!!

Thanks

BTW - you looked amazing

thank you so much for the swatches! you have me even more excited about hocus pocus. Mine is scheduled to come tomorrow

*cries after see katred's post* Aww HP and JW look absolutely gorgeous! I am so sad I missed out on JW and as a result decided to pass on HP. Now looking at MAC's website all the eyeshadows are sold out except for SNS. Hopefully there will be more coming, it would be foolish to run the collection for 6 weeks without restocking items that sold out within the first day.

Side note: I wonder how specific bloggers feel when their color isn't super popular. I'm pretty sure Christine must've felt very special to have JW sell out basically immediately.

same here I'm sad I missed out on JW eyeshadow! I wanted to get other items but I decided to pass, I just called CS to find out the deal and she said that they will not be restocking JW...this is very stressful! and it has taken the fun out getting my favourites when the new collections come out...

[/quote] Caqui is gorgeous and I know you can pull it off. It would look great with Hibiscus, too.

 

[Mac-Guy]

Oh no. MAC knows how to keep up the hype.

 

[Alisha1]

I really don't want to miss out on the collection completely so if anyone can help me with a CP I'll be very grateful! Please DM me if you can

 

[TheMakeupGirl]

I ABSOLUTELY LOOOVE the swatches you did!! Amazing ;-)

I got my goodies last night. I caved at the last minute (stupid LE & MAC website pressure) and bought all 4 shadows and almost all of the lipglosses.

Today I tried a look with JW on the lid, SNS in the crease, Juxt on the inner corner of the eye, and Kitten (one of my alltime favorite non-MAC shadows) as a highlight. I also used my green eyeliner from Sephora. JW & SNS are wonderful. I had no fallout issues with SNS (applied over UD primer potion) even though it looks super glittery in the pan.

PS looks a lot more on the blue side than gray on my skin, so I am glad that I splurged & got both HP & PS.

My only issue with my look that I did today is that I couldn't get AMPL to work with it. I realize that the combination would have been a big stretch, but I am dying to wear that purple gloss. I wore Caqui instead which I think is the perfect summer color.
