MAC Artificially Wild Collection (Sept 4, 2014)

[MRV]

I love this collection. Its the most interesting one that Mac have brought out in a long time IMHO

I have been lusting after Natural Wilderness for months. But it was the first thing to sell out in the London shops and online. So I brought all the other bits I wanted and thought I'd just have to fudge Soba and something else for a similar look.

Imagine my surprise when yesterday when I walked into the Stratford Westfield Mac branch to pick up Faux and Twig on B2M and there on the Artificially Wild stand where pretty much all the of product still without sold out stickers on them including Natural Wilderness. So of course I grabbed it.

The sales assistants said its been a very unpopular collection. I was tempted to back up a few things but I was good.

People don't know what's good! Glad you were able to get NW. I ended up BUing it, my first voluntary e/s BU after so many years already.

I don't understand how. Cos I was going to skip the collection at one point, but I ended up buying 3 of the lipsticks and I love them

Ha. Good for you!

That Mac is on the outskirts of Hackney which is a very edgy district so I'm surprised that the ladies there weren't so into the collection as its so 90s/fashion forward. But then the stores further into town....totally sold out. The fashionistas had been in and nabbed all the stock. I'm pleased anyway - now I know when a collection is a bit too edgy and I want products....straight to that Westfield store.

You're on about the Spitafields store, I've been in there quite a few times to pick up somethings when I'm in a rush. My nearest store is actually in Westfield Stratford, but I mainly go central or to Canary Wharf

Hey again Marsha

I'm actually on about your local store in Stratford. Which I never bother going within ten feet of because its always totally packed. I didn't realise there was another one in Canary Wharf - I will have to check it out.

Yes the MUAs in Stratford were saying they still have tons of AW collection products. Suppose the ladies of Stratford prefer the brighter collections.

I could imagine. I might go up there end of the month (as much as I try to avoid going to Stratford) and see what they have left in stock

So how is everyone wearing Marsh? Thinking about pairing it with the obvious sumptous olive, oomph, and a dark brown and a lil bit of orange in the crease.

OMG, I'm wearing De-Nude gloss for the first time today and it is rank... How does a gloss go bad this fast? UGH... and it's such a pretty color.

My Spite was rank upon arrival. I had to request another one. :/

When I first got it, I played with Denude, it was totally fine. I wonder if I can find another one. I think I got spite too.

The lipglasses are going rancid so quickly these days. Before this year, I honestly never had one go bad. I know I shouldn't still have lipglasses that are 4 or 5 years old, lol, but I do and they are all still fine. The only ones starting to go bad are ones I bought this year.

 

[Prettypackages]

SAME HERE! Not buying anymore glosses.

God I love Spite. Spite and Stone lipliner was always the ultimate combo when I was at University in the 90s! I hope they never discontinue it. I'm glad they repromoted it with this collection. It makes me feel like its still safe for a bit.

I bought de nude and it stunk. I returned later that day and they all stunk. The sales clerk said she thought it might be the pigments with that colour. I took it home and played with it. I noticed that the smell wore off in a few mins, the deffo rancid one I had did not stop being stinky. So to make it smell better, de nude that is, I added two drops of peppermint oil, and its working great. The rancid one I did back to Mac with, it was very old.

 

[Prettypackages]

Ohhh ok, that is a good idea. I'll try that, but for right now. I'm not buying anymore mac glosses.

I love Artificial Earth eyeshadow so much I decided to back it up today. I had 4 months to think about it and this is just something I know I would use up because it looks so good on my skin.

Good choice.

 

[Carlsbad]

Bummed out that I missed Artificial Earth

Next to Skin is the perfect contour colour for my pale skin. I hope they repromote it.

It's still available in the Goodbyes section on the Canadian site. If you call MAC HQ they should be able to track it down and have it sent to you, if you want it.
