MAC Tres Cheek discussion

[PrettyKitty]

I wasn't so sure if I would like Immortal Flower, because you have to work the color into the skin, but I like that I can use it even if my skin isn't tanned. I would say it's the perfect peachy coral for pale skin, a must have for this summer.

I agree. It sucks that you can't just casually go online, think and then purchase. I used to think the rush made things more fun, but I must be getting old because that's not the case for me anymore.

Yeah, I'm over it too. I don't even care if I can't get the items I want. THis is ridiculous.

Modern Mandarin looks exactly like Tarte's Tipsy on my skin; the only difference is the sheen in MM which, can come off a bit ashy/frosty looking on my dark skin (NC50)

good to know, thanks!

If I had not been stocking Mac and Specktra everything would have been sold out by the time MAC notified me new collections were up. I had to work Monday and Tuesday so I was excited they posted things Sunday night even though they were sneaky about it.

I got a back up of MM.

Is anybody BU-ing their blushes?

agreed. I dont care enough anymore to stress over an item that i want. If i dont get it its not the end of the world. I'm still alive and breathing so that means I will be able to drool over another item that isnt as much of a headache. I've been gravitating towards other brands now because of this. It isnt fun anymore because now you have to order stuff blinding without having the opportunity to go into the store and playing with the makeup.

with that being said I am not getting anything from this collection, extra dimension (even thought i was interested in superb skinfinish), or reel sexy. I love this feeling lol. I got my eyes on upcoming Nars stuff.

Peony Petal and Pink Cult may have jumped into my Macy's cart along with Sunday Afternoon pearlmatte from Vera...no idea how that happened

Is it ok to post a few pictures here? I swatched Modern Mandarin next to Taj Majal and Marine Life and would love to share it here as well

I'm going to post this question on this thread as well, even though the products were not from this collection. Hoping maybe someone can help me with this.
This has never happened to me. One of the orders I placed was for Whisper of Gilt and Warm thunder. MAC sent me another Superb and a lightscapade. I called them, and they're suppose to send me the correct items. She told me I could use the shipping label to mail the wrong items back. I don't need them because I ordered Superb in another order, and I already own lightscapade. Will they destroy these if I send them back? Kinda would rather see them go to a good home instead of being destroyed. Will they also hold on to the items I should have gotten until these are returned? In 6 years, this has never happened!

I ordered and received all of the Tres Cheek blushes today! (To stay on topic) I'm about NW 15-20 and Modern Mandarin scares me. Hopefully it'll look good on me!

Yes, it is. Please do bevcita. I would love to see MM and the other blushes. Thank you!

Bevcita. I'd love to see your swatches

 

[bevcita]

Yay ok <3











Hope this wasn't too much and that it helps somehow! For the record, I absolutely LOVE Modern Mandarin. A dream to apply and just as pretty on the skin as it is in the pan

edit: I used my Shu Uemura 20 brush next to the finger swatches.

Thank you bevcita for the swatches. I am now kicking myself for not getting modern mandarin.

It looks heavenly.

Thanks for the swatches. Modern Mandarin doesn't look half as scary when swatched next to Taj Mahal

 

[bevcita]

Aww no But you can still! I'll be heading out to my counter tomorrow for the items that I pre-ordered. I'll ask if they have any extra and let you know

 

[MrsB]

Bevcita, I totally just ordered MM after seeing your swatches :eyelove: I doubt it will work on my nc20 skin, but I have to try. I'm now team 5!

 

[OhSoJaded]

Thanks for the swatches, Bevcita! MM looks absolutely divine next to ML. So sad I missed out on ML

 

[bevcita]

MrsB: No problem! I love to enable OhSoJaded: it truly is a special blush Rockin: I almost prefer MM over Taj Mahal to be honest! It's so easy to go overboard with Taj Mahal lol.

 

[kimbunney]

Richelle have you worn FoJ as a blush or highlighter? You think it can be worn as a blush?

FoJ and MM

 

[wishonastar]

I doubt it will work on my nc20 skin, but I have to try. I'm now team 5!

If it doesn't, a bit of bronzer and you will be fine
