Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

CantAffordMac^^^^Beautiful new pic girl!!!

I don't know about this collection...yet. I'll get a lipstick & gloss & maybe one of the powders just to have something from the collection. Can't say I'm crazy about it.

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

Elegant one... Thank you my dear!!!

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

haha it's hard to keep tract of all of these collections... so many lemmings

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

They really are. But.. Dame Edna is odd, so I guess it works? Sort of?

Anyhow. I'm still rather underwhelmed by this. All the new photos have strengthened my suspicions that I will merely B2M for Coral Polyp lipstick and Splendid lipglass, as I don't have things like those right now.

I'm sure the highlight powders would show up and be pretty on my skin, but I like to have the option of building up to a bolder colour upon occasion, and these don't really present that. I'm not spending the money on one just to have the bloody compact, either - I have my Neo Sci Fi one and that's good enough for me!

I had hoped Gladiola lipstick would be... something else. As for what it is, I think I could make do with Girl About Town and a dab of Blast o' Blue. I love red lipsticks so much it hurts and I adore the AC finish, but Kangarouge bores me. There is NOTHING special about it. The shadows look dupeable, plus the texture of basically all of them look to leave something to be desired.

Maybe my thoughts will change once I get my hands on some testers of this stuff, but that's where I stand so far.

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

I'm getting quite impatient D<
Need these lipsticks

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

I love the color of the collection, but the colors bore me! ugh. I have the heatherette trio 1 which looks a lot like on of trios from this collection. I may only end up getting a lip gloss.

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

Oh, I agree! And I wouldn't expect anything else from Dame Edna... odd colour collection from an odd, but funny and lovable entertainer.

Looking at the pictures, I can't see anything that says 'me' though.

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

hmmm... i'm feeling underwhelmed by this collection. bleh. i might get a few of the lip products the palettes are questionable. i haven't touched my heatherette trio 1 since early this year, so there is probably no need for the wisteria trio. i already have climate blue, and just bought the cool eyes holiday palette [has purples], so there is no need for the one from this collection. eh.

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

I'm really not feeling this collection.... Not the packaging nor the products! Maybe it's just me...

However, I will probably give in and buy Kanga Rouge or Coral Polyp because I freaking LOVE ACs!!!

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

I knew the lippies were gorgeous. God I can't wait for them! I am definitely buying back ups of these puppies.

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

u r awesome! lol i just saw "...but i do understand photos"!!

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

Wow, you guys are so amazing to find this!

I got distracted by the girl's Circle lens, but anyway .. Here is the direct translation of 'Buckethead' swatch:

First swatch - Wisteria Eye trio color
1st Color - Fine Shine: Silver Glitters
2nd Color - Wisteria: Cool blue with white & silver pearls
3rd color - Divine night: Smokey Grey, a bit patchy
Overall, all the colors feel soft and color pay-off is good. A bit of color fallout.

1st Make up done with Wisteria and coral pink lipstick (direct translation lol)
2nd Make up done with Divine night (smokey grey) and pale beige lipstick

1st highlight powder - What a Dame (she is on about freakin sticker too) and she used it as a blusher in the picture (peachy, pale orange)

2nd highlight powder (more pink one) - Spectacle (romantic pink). Gold pearls disappear quickly. She also says the color gives a subtle flush, not like some burnt sweet potato??

1st Lipstick swatch - Gladiola (strong purple pink) Matt formula. Looks more of purple.. Great color pay-off and it applies well, without emphasizing lines and crevices of lips. She used Dame Edna Hot Frost l/g in the 2nd picture.

2nd Lipstick swatch - Coral Polyp (crimson red). More moisturizing than Gladiola. She used Dame Edna Nose Pink lip gloss in the 2nd picture.

1st Lipgloss swatch - Hot Frost (with gold and opal pearls, Azelea pink).
2nd Lipgloss swatch - Possum Nose Pink (crimson red with pink & silver pearls)

The last make up picture, the girl used Gladiola and silver colour from wisteria trio.

Looks like Koreans like this collection. Well except the sticker part

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

Damn, now I need all three lipglasses

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

are you sure that's coral polyp (creamy mid tone coral)? I thought it looked more like kanga-rouge (creamy dark blue red).

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

^^^ Yeah, as I said, it is the direct translation!

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

Wow those swatches from that Korean (right?) blog are beautiful! I have told myself I'm passing this collection but the Wisteria Trio still looks hot, and that Kanga-Rouge lipstick is quite a unique color of red, IMO. It's like neon red if that's possible! lol.

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

They are very pretty! Now I like Hot Frost too. I have to pick 1 or 2 after trying them.

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

I just posted pictures and swatches of Gladiola lipstick for all that are interested!

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

Thank you! This pink is awesome!!

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

look hot i can't wait

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

Ahh It looks so good on you! I kind of want it now, but I think I will resist. (I will try anyway...)

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

ARGH my life!
I was determined to skip this.
But I really want Kanga-rouge now. Either that or Possum Nose Pink. One or the other.

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

I want l/s Gladiola and Kanga-Rouge and all three l/g

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

OMG those lippies! B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. I just love them. Those are definitely on my list but now I'm not so sure about the palette. Darn.

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

Welcome back

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

great... now i have to get gladiola l/s + coral polyp l/s. not sure if i NEED any of the glosses yet.

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

Can somebody post a swatch of Gladiola and Show Orchid please? I may be wrong but they look quite the same.

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

Hmmm Kanga-rouge and that's it. I already have 2 other red lipglasses..

Re: MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

I'm not sure. The collector in me wants something just to have it, but I'm not "dying" to own any of this. At first I was, but now, not so much. I don't know. The only thing I know for sure is that CAM is friggin' hot as hell in her new avatar!!!
