Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

Oh dear. I am so excited about Manish and the holiday collection that I can't think about this one right now

If I manage to get everything I want from the holiday collection (and my list is looong...) I may think about these lovely goodies here!! They won't be available at my counter, so I have to order them from the pro store or something. Too much for today.

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

I'm so glad we finally got some info on this collection. I am dying to see what the brushes look like!I am a total sucker for luxe style brushes...yummy!

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

Ok, I added a lipglass, a sheerspark pressed powder and the 224 SE to my list Now I must find out where to get this collection!

Can anyone help? There seems to be a mistake in the descriptions.

• Commemorate – Frosted pale pink with gold pearlized pigments
• Keepsake – Frosted pale pink with gold pearlized pigments.

I want that frosted pale pink but which one is it?

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

these sound so gorgeous!!

i'll definitely have to try a mystery powder too

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

Sorry if this is a repeat and I missed something. But are these going to be different from last year's Sheersparks? I hated those. I really wanted to love them and they looked so pretty in the case. But I thought the texture sucked and there was basically no color payoff just glittery. I had missed out on the previous year's so I'm really hoping this collection rocks.

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

I think they are the same I like my Sheerspark Pressed Powder from last year. I wear it over a blush as a finish.

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

besides the hot packaging, i thought last years was useless

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

oh! so can i use it on my t-zone? I'm afraid it will clog my pores badly..

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

No! I have combination to oily skin and I LOVE Blot Powder! It is the best powder I ever had

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

The 129 from Stylistics was incredibly soft, I love mine. I'm just disappointed there isn't a different face brush this year.

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

Just had a look at the color story and I'm disappointed. What's up with all the frost finishes??? They rarely look good on me. Well I'm still looking forward to some pictures. Maybe then I will add to my holiday wish list.

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

I have the 129 & the 224 from last year & they are gorgeous & so soft, I also have the kabuki from the couture collection & its equally amazing. But you're right, I wish they had different brushes than last year. I would have loved a 187, 217 or a 239 or something different. I'm sure unless I hate the packaging I'll get both anyway, lol

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

MAC_Whore has updated the color story info:

# Commemorate - Frosted pale gold with gold pearlized pigments
# Keepsake – Frosted pale pink with gold pearlized pigments

Thanks!

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

That's better, but what about this one...
All Mine - Creamy mid-tone (frost)
"mid-tone" what? pink, I guess

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

Pink or Peach?

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

Well, we can rule out red cause the other one is red. It has to be pink so elegant-one has something to buy from the collection

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

Last year there was a brown, a pink peach , a red and a berry.

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

Just mid-tone. Like the middle of the spectrum. So, I assume the lipstick will be green.

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

Ooooppps! Let me check into that. I will update it today. I will make sure we don't have a green lipstick coming our way.

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

I am getting excited now (not b/c of the green lipstick )!

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

^^^ Lol

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

Sorry if anyone has posted info like this already, but I briefly talked to a friend who has seen the collection and she said they are of course really cool, but this year the packaging is gold with a design, the design on the compact carrying over as an imprint on the actual product. The compacts are round, not square like Stylistics was. The lipglasses are in tall, square containers, I'm guessing similar to Stylistics. She mentioned that only select Nordstrom's stores are getting this, predominantly the more "ritzy" Nordstroms (so mine is not! lol). Hopefully we shall hear more soon!

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

I'd buy a green lipstick! It could hang out with my blast o' blue!

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

ot but I want that blue lipstick! and the purple one that came out w/ c-shock! lol. i doubt they'd look very good on my lips, but they're hot in the tube and half the stuff i buy i never wear anyways so it's okay

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

Gahhhh I feel like I have upcoming collections until the turn of the century swimming around my head!

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

You could mix them together for teal lips

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

I was about to post that I didnt buy the mystery powder last year, but I realized I'm crazy and indeed I DID buy it, but didnt buy a backup so I was afraid to use it (I have a serious makeup problem when it comes to limited edition packaging). Ok, so now that I've straightened myself out.......
I'll buy 2 this year, so I can actually USE the compact. The texture on the mystery powder is absolutely divine in its silkiness, which is perfect for touching up if you're not super oily. I'm a little oily but the blot powder is too mattifying for me.
Also, throwing in my 2cents here, I cant stand the sheerspark powders. They look so pretty in the container but the glitter is too chunky for a decent look. I'm very excited though about the GOOOOLD packaging this year. I cant wait

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

YES YES YES YES YES YES YESSSSSSS GOLD PACKAGING!

Randy Rose is very happy about this.

I for one am glad that they're doing the same brushes as last year, because I didn't buy them, and now I can get them in GUUUUUH-HOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!

Re: MAC - Luxe/Monogram) - (MAC's Annual Couture Collection) 2008

I would buy blue and green lipsticks, but not Blast O' Blue! I Was so excited for it because I thought it would look like the promo picture, but then it didn't have any color at all.
