I've been in class and at work all day. =( lol but I just logged onto the MAC PRO website and it's up there! You have to literally search for it. For instance, after clicking on lipsticks, select the "pro shades" tab and you will see the lipsticks from the Reel Sexy collection available for purchase. MAC PRO Stores will get the collection on Thursday so that's when I will place my order. I don't think you're getting the email because it's not official yet... hence that you have to search for the products.

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh wish I was a Pro member....

=( Do you have the credentials to get the discount? You can also be a hairstylist or an esthetician and qualify for the discount. The only difference is the percentage discounted on the products. I had a PRO card prior to working for them. I actually plan on creating a post on my blog about how I got pro discounts with NARS, MUFE, Tarte, Origins, and Illamasqua. I think it'll help out and make things a little easier.

I should have done a lip swatch and not just a swatch on my hand to see how it turns out. If it's purple, it will be a no no, but if it leans more pink, I'm all up for it.
OK, I plan to get Pink Popcorn l/s, Reel Sexy l/s and Heroine l/s as well as Cinestyle c/g, Star Quality c/g and Private Screening c/g.

I wonder if anything has sold out yet at pro. I hope they have plenty of stock this time. Will have to wait for the regular online Mac as I cannot go to any Mac store that is close.they never have enough of anything.

, so I'll probably pass if the color is not too my liking. I only buy what I'm 100% sure that I will use it.

Heroine and Pink Cult have been ordered from this collection so far but really interested to see swatches of the kohls and maybe order those at a later stage

I think I've finally decided what I want to stick to----

Reel Sexy l/s + Private Screening l/c

I was taking stock of everything I have and think I should just dedicate my makeup purchases for a little while to just blushes and lip products as I just need more of a selection! If I get Pink Peony or Pink Tea from Tres Chic, I think I'll be good for a while xD I wish I could haul like the rest of you! But then I'd have to hide all my makeup purchases from my boyfriend xD!

I can't see anything from the reel sexy collection on the pro website, even when i'm signed in. I tried going into new products, products, and searching the collection name and individual shades, how did u guys do it? Maybe it has to do with me using my phone vs computer? Nevermind! Just figured it out :)

I've really only done make-up for proms and a few photo shoots for local wedding photographers (engagements shoots, etc). I don't have anything I can send in as proof, except for letters from the photographers/clients. Idk if that will be enough.

Went to a different Nordstrom counter and swatched some more colors and decided if I wanted to pick anything else up with the blushes. I was shocked and went for Reel Sexy because while it seems highlighter orange, it actually looks really complimentary on my lips. I think it will go really well with Confetti Plushglass from the Vera collection!

I also swatched Pink Popcorn, so I hope it is helpful! It does look more pink than purple, but it still does look a little purple....
The orange is Reel Sexy, then Heroine, then Pink Popcorn and the pink shade on the bottom is a Covergirl lipstick called Enchantress. I included that to show how relatively "un-pink" Pink Popcorn is, but that it is still pretty pink. It has a nice sheen to it! Pink Popcorn definitely looks way different than it does in the tube.

My skin is around NC15 for reference.


I also swatched Pink Cult and it was just like Pink Tea only a little darker (and matte, whereas PT is a satin). Both blushes sound okay for my skin in theory, but for some reason they didn't really add oomph to my face the way I had hoped. It just looked kind of drab on me. Magenta is close enough to blushes I already own so I'm skipping that, too. Heroine is similar to Violetta so I'm okay with skipping.

Final List:
Reel Sexy
Pink Popcorn.

I'm totally in search of a liner to go with Reel Sexy. Somehow it kind of grays out my lip lines, and usually unless I need the color to stick around, I don't necessarily need a liner....Lasting Sensation is too pink. Hmmmmm. I will have to give it some thought to see what I come up with!

Btw, the peachy cremesheen glass (I can't recall the name of it at the moment...) looks amaaazing with Reel Sexy! If I wasn't going for a plumper lip look with the color, I would have picked it up because they go really well together.

Thanks for finally having a swatch of reel sexy.
