Ok I was googling fluidlines and came across swatches of Added Goodness. Man, now I want it lol.

That is hands down my faaavorite fluidline ever! I have the 15th Anniversary pencil set from Urban Decay and Added Goodness is super similar to the pencil Corrupt - they're awesome everyday liners for me, as black tends to look a little harsh on me, unless I'm going for a dark or smokey eye look.

 

Anyway, unfortunately Urban Decay doesn't sell Corrupt in a single right now, but they have it in a pencil duo online, however the amount would be 1/2 the size of a regular pencil.

 

There is hope, as Bobbi Brown's Black Mauve liner is really similar, without the little sparkles! It's a little more than MAC's fluidline, but it's a great substitute. Once I run out of my BUs of Added Goodness and my extra UD pencil sets, I will be moving to Bobbi! 

Or maybe MAC will do a repromote!!

 

I can't even make up my mind which was my favorite fluidline from this collection. I love Wholesome so much more than Blacktrack, it's not even funny and Midnight Snack is incredibly flattering for my eyes - makes the whites look whiter and brings out the violet and grey color shift in my irises. I backed them all up, but I'll probably be scraping out the pots on Wholesome first.

Thank you for the input. It looks like such a great everyday color. I'm fine with black but AG looks like it's more subtle in a good way. I hope they repromote it soon.

I love Wholesome and Midnight Snack, too! I use those frequently, but AG is my everyday go-to. I do hope they repromote the shades! I have 2 BUs and I'm a little more than halfway through my first Added Goodness, so hopefully when I run out of my stock it'll pop back up in a color story :) 

I was about to say the same thing, that BB Black Mauve Shimmer gel eyeliner was a dupe for Added Goodness.  I had once swatched the two side by side and even my MUA couldn't tell which was which.  

I considered getting the Bobbi Brown one before MAC did a final restock of the collection, so I bought my BUs then. I wonder if they'll pop up at CCO.

 Me 2. Wish I backed it up...I hope they'll repromote it in the future.

Are there any (BB) dupes for wholesome or midnight snack by any chance?

I have one that's been swatched 2x lightly with a small liner brush and I don't like it. I could sell mine. :) I have all the stuff for it left(box+outer stripe box). Please PM me if you're interested. :)

Chocolate BB was similar to Wholesome (not as matte)

I have one fairly similar to Midnight Snack, I think it is called Charcoal or maybe Graphite, but I can swatch them tonight to see.  I love the BB gel eyeliners ALMOST as much as MAC fluidlines.

I've never tried BB gel liners, but the BB fine liner brush is my HG brush. Worth every penny.

Regarding the Call Me Bubbles quad - I didn't purchase it cuz I already had Brash and the other colours seemed similar to things I have in my stash (and I couldn't afford all 3 quads LOL), but I often wear colours like the coral one (don't know the name) just above the crease, rather than doing a look with the darkened crease. I do that kind of look with Early Bird, and also witth Saffron. Saffron I wear with the 'nude' shades in the Mickey Contractor quad (the medium on the lid and the lightest above saffron). I find it really opens up the eyes (think Barbie) - but black or brown eyeliner is kinda key, cuz the red/pink tones risk throwing tthe look into addict territory.

 

Yes. These are gorgeous combos. MC is one of my favorite quads (closely followed by Leopard Luxe and CMB) as these colors are so flattering on blue eyes. I do like Early Bird too, but I prefer Saffron or Indie Spirit (or at least combine EB with S and IS).

 

I wouldn't mind another MC collaboration in the near future.

was there a dupe for wholesome?

I so want my Athma and LL quads back.  ~whines~

 

Scratch that, the Added Goodness dupe is Black Mauve, Graphite is fairly close to Midnight Snack, not as blue and there is a matte black liner that will probably be close to Wholesome...but that is one I don't have

BB's Black Ink isn't an exact dupe for Wholesome, but I'll swatch both when I get home tonightas now I'm curious.

 

Here is a comparison between MAC and Bobbi Brown.  When swatched, Black Ink is matte, while Wholesome has a sheen, but when it dries down, the finish looks similar.

CMB quad up for sale in this thread, $40: http://www.specktra.net/t/93215/mac-shop-3-quads-heavenly-creature-lipsticks-crew-highlight-powder-blushes-sigma-brushes-ud-kat-von-d-tattoo-chronicles-1-and-more

 

agree! i love all the neutrals from that collection. i found it very classy...i still wish i had bought sur. i still can't figure out what i was thinking when i passed it up! 

 

i find the athma quad works very well for me too, though my eyes are brown.  even the lustre shades really work...i find they wear very well throughout the day. not that they stay pristine -- they kinda looked 'lived in' by the end of day, but it just looks like the natural sheen of skin... 

where did they go?

starting tomorrow... im gonna tackle one of my 4 tendertones. I plan on committing to it for 7 days. why did i ever stop using them? silly me!!

Sold them.  ~sniff.  Didn't think I'd used them.  Or I could dupe them.

 

There definitely needs to be a MC2 Collex.

I wear mine overnight (when I think of it).

Did any of you get/like Naughty Sautee?

That was the only one I thought "P.U." about 

 

Just dupeable and also tacky for my taste.

     the color added one is still available at the mac website.

I have naughty sauté and I love the colour. However, somehow it is not so wearable. I think due to its shine it looks a bit tacky indeed. I keep trying though. It is one of the very few colours I haven't really worn out. I still like it enough to keep it no matter what.
