MAC for Marilyn - Page 54

Love Goddess is going to fly off the shelf.  I feel like its legendary already!  No up and close swatches yet (for whatever reason)  Its a mystery! 

 

It will be the first item I look for at the event. 

 

Absolutely!

i will be going to the Marilyn Monroe event friday oct 5 so I will be putting up swatches <3

What was the lack of love for the pressed piggies--too glittery?

 

More like glitter on your face. So far a finger is supposed to be the best application method. I have to try that. Otherwise, I will mixt the pigment with my body lotion next summer...

I swatched a few at the MAC counter a couple of days ago, and my hand looked like a glitterbomb had exploded on it! Some of the colours were really pretty though...

SI swatches are all I can find.

I really want to see swatches of the beauty powder. 

gahhhhh. this is driving me freakin crazy.

I JUST WANT SOME SWATCHES OF SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T SEEN YET.

how are we supposed to figure out whether we want something or not if we havent even seen what the actual color of it is??? WHY do they keep sending out friggin Scarlet Ibis? We already know what it looks like... we've already seen it this year. I passed it up then and I'll pass it up again.

*shakes fist at sky*

SHOW ME LOVE GODDESS DANGIT. Hell... even Deeply Adored... or the BP... throw us a frickin boooooone.

 

I SO agree with you!

I called just to make absolute sure when the event is, 21-23rd and I can't put anything on hold until the 21st. Ugh.

Thank you Naynadine, beautiful lipsticks indeed !

I think I need Scarlet Ibis in my life. It's going to be hella bright on me but.... agree we need more product samples but i got the felling I'll pick up Love Goddess as well.

I think they are pushing that SI cus it is orange and it needs all the help it can get to sell.... ummm yeah I am a blue toned lip wearer and won't touch anything that begins to pull orange.  NO offense intended to the warm colored loving gals.  BTW it is kinda working.  SI has gone from hella no to hmmmm looking good baby 

 

I am so pathetic

i'm telling myself i don't need a BU of Scarlet Ibis...but i love it. but i rarely go through a whole tube of bright lipsticks...but i love it...hee! so far it just looks like the lipsticks and BP still for me.

after recovering from surgery i am ready to jump back into the collection hype. my excitement for MM is limited simply because the colors seem to light for me but i am interested in what will probably be the one of the first sold out items, love goddess. i need swatches!!!! i am also interested in deeply adored. i want the beauty powder jusr to collect it but we shall see, i know it will be ashy on my skintone. 

lol. i love oranges but i am sick of them now. i am looking forward to new tones. 

she makes me want mac diva!!!

Same here. Wow! Such a pretty shade of lipstick.

 

They probably try to avoid that things sell out before the actual event.

 

Can you preorder at a different store maybe?

I know we are all gaga over seeing lip swatches....but i'm really curious about the blushes too! I don't need the Dazzleglass at all ( I barely touch my DG stash) but

the packaging may be too cute to pass up!!!

Me too! And the pb.

Even though I needed to downsize my list, Love Goddess is still an automatic BU for me.

You need to correct this error immediately.

All I wanted originally was Love Goddess, the BP and Preferred Blonde e/s. My list has dropped the e/s, so 2 things isn't that bad!

I have no idea what I want from this.  All I know is that I'll need to do a pre-sale or get there early the day of launch to make sure I have a shot at everything! 

oh lord i just called my local mac and asked if they're preselling and they said no! looks like i'm gonna have to go right when they open.

I'm still not feeling this collection. I keep looking over the few pictures we have and the descriptions and nothing is jumping out at me. So far, all I got is Love Goddess, but I'm not even genuinely excited about that. These are either colors I own or colors I don't think will look good on me. The paleness of the blushes don't seem like it'll work for me. I guess I have to wait and swatch. I hope I'm wrong because I'll be so pissed going up there for just one lipstick.

I thought I was immune then I started to get more stoked when I realized there were some darker, autumn berries and crimson lippies in matte and satin finish.  I think I need to check my stash for all the lipsticks I put away in the Spring to wear in the Fall, because I probably have something similar to all of these lip colors.  The exception of course is that now that they have improved the formula for the MAC matte finish (and this is speculation since we have not had reviews or swatches, but MAC has certainly demonstrated they have improved matte finish in the case of the Iris A lippies) it may be worth repurchasing colors if they are available in a matte finish.  If they are anything like the Iris A lippies, I will get excited for lipsticks, even if I have similar colors (they are probably all in Lustre form which really does not have the staying power of a Satin or Matte...) 

Mac mattes are better than they used to be, but they still aren't amazing to me. Is Scarlett Ibis a matte? (I'm too lazy to look) I love that one, but the color also helps. YSL has Mac beat on the mattes, though. They came out with three shades a couple of months ago and they are HG lip products. I hope they expand the color range on that.

I wish there were other colors in the lipstick and shadows, but I see it fits within the Marilyn theme. I guess that's my biggest problem: I'm not into the Marilyn look. When I wear red lips I really only do mascara and maybe, maybe a little blush. I reach for red when I'm not in the mood to go all out, but I still want to make a statement. Plus, I just think my face looks fresher that way. The shadows in this collection are out! Not only because they look glittery, but they are shadow colors I don't go for.

Having said all that, though I probably will buy the Charmed and LG and probably a back up of SI to make it worth the trip. I would like to have the BP compact but not at the BP price since I have no need for the product.
