MAC for Marilyn - Page 49

Another one here who's still fan of this collection  Since i'll be skipping quite a few collections (Face & Body, Office Hours, Carine Roitfeld), i have no need to narrow down my list for this one, so my original list still stands *yay* Impatiently waiting for this to be released :)

I'm looking forward to this. Red lipstick...lots of it

I got an invite yesterday but mine is a little different than the others. It's a glossy...

I am really wishing the blushes and beauty powder are pigmented enough that they'll show on medium and darker skin tones.  If not, I'll only be getting Love Goddess...

I need like at least half of the James Bond collection, it looks amazing! I'm so in love with On Her Majesty's Secret Service, I might get two.

I'm still excited for this. I have my eye on the bp, blushes and red lipsticks. I think I'll skip the eyeshadows. They don't look appealing to me in the swatches we've seen so far.

I decided awhile back not to buy anything because of the prices and I'm sticking to it. More money for other collections.

I still want the beaauty powder and love goddess lipstick for sure.

I might also get a blush or deeply adored lipstick depending on the swatches :)

yes it's really a gorgeous nail polish collection, so is the OPI Germany collection, when I saw the colours and shades of the James Bond collection, I said WAOUH !

Wow, i wish i didn't just look at this, these polishes look tdf! Am definitely buying a few of those when they come out. Btw, that 18 karat top coat is just insane lol, not something i would get but really nice for the collectors out there :)

At the Mac event I'm going to the collection comes out on Sept. 27th. Maybe you should call your local Mac store to see what their date is?

Even with the Holiday Collection robbing me silly, I will NOT be able to pass up on MM!  Even though it MAY keep me from getting BU crazy!

Going to try the BP, at least 1 blush, all the lipsticks except PZ.  And I've almost convinced myself to pass on the e/s... I have SO many neutral shadows... But seeing as I AM a Showgirl, I may need to get that one just for personal reasons!  HeeHee wink

im afraid the picture on the packaging is going to rub off with time and leave white specs all over everything...like my liberty of london glosses.  Has anyone had that issue with special packaging?

I have a red Cruella gloss from VV which rubbed off a bit, but none of the pictures on my VV/LOL/TTB blushes/lipsticks/BPs had any issues. I don't think the lipglass packaging is well-suited for printing on, since my regular lipglasses usually end up having the writing on the tube rub off as well.

I really hope MAC steps up to the plate with product quality in this collection.

Thank you for sharing this, Naynadine!

I think it would have been great if there would have been a Marilyn makeup bag included in this collection.

I am really starting to warm up to the packaging on this collection, I still plan to grab the lip liners even tho they are perm and 2-3 lipsticks and the eyelashes. I night pick up with BP and Blush but I am waiting to see those in more swatches and myself.

I feel like the eyelashes and the lipstick are the things that speak highest for this collection. While I like the collection for the holiday and will have a huge haul I still am excited for this

I keep trying to tell myself I don't need the eyeshadows, as they are quite basic colours and I most likely have dupes for them.  Then I remember that they are all Veluxe Pearl and I want them again.

I definitely want Love Goddess,  but Charmed I'm Sure keeps tempting me even though I already have loads of reds, and I have also just bought some of the ArtDeco Dita Von Teese collection.

I'm almost certain I'll get the beauty powder, and both blushes are tempting me.  The Perfect Cheek is a repromote, though, as far as I know.  Is anyone able to compare The Perfect Cheek with Pink Cult and Pink Tea, please, or anything similar (MAC) that I might have?  I really need to cut my list down somehow

Hahaa! I was happy so see this collection. I'm def going to grab a bottle of On Her Majesty's Secret Service because, literally, I am On Her Majesty's Service!

1-3 red lippies, 1 e/s, 1 blush and BP for me.

Seconding this! If anyone has The Perfect Cheek, I would LOVE to see it swatched against Pink Cult.

I had this up earlier. Pink Cult & The Perfect Cheek.

MRV, thank you so much! Pink Cult looks great on my very cool-toned skin, so I can probably pass on The Perfect Cheek since it looks a little warmer. So now my MM list is: Deeply Adored l/s, Scarlet Ibis l/s, Legendary blush, and maybe the Forever Marilyn beauty powder. I'll probably spend a ton on holiday, so this is looking good to me!

Thank you so much, MRV, I think I might be able to persuade myself to pass on The Perfect Cheek :)

I hope you can use the beauty powder as a highlighter.. since I'm a light medium I guess I'll use it as an allover (t shouldn't have any glitters)

The only thing I may pick up is Silver Screen ES but I do want to wait for more swatches to see how it compares to other colours I have. 

The Perfect Cheek looks pretty. I have enough neutrals that I'll pass (Blushbaby, Douceur, Prism), but I always am drawn to this kind of shade.
