MAC for Marilyn - Page 11

post #301 of 8500

Will probably only get lip products.  But I really don't need any other lip products at the moment.

Hey, I called it!  Sounds like Silver Screen or How To Marry could fit the bill I was wanting...Either way, I will likely want both plus

the deep crimson matte lipstick (Deeply Adored) and of course the Beauty Powder--sounds from teh description like it could be similar to Tahitian Sands???

 

maybe The Perfect Cheek but only if not orange at all...and I really need to slow down on the blush purchases

The Perfect Cheek has NO orange at all. Its one of my ALL time favorite blushes ever!

post #317 of 8500

Eee, now that the color story's up I can make my list! I've been planning on forgoing all the other summer collections (besides By Request, maybe) and dropping a major bomb on this one. Still haven't ventured into the Heavenly Creature thread yet, so we'll see how long that lasts LOL.

 

Preliminary List:

Deeply Adored - Deep scarlet (Matte)

Charmed I'm Sure - Dark true red (Matte)

Love Goddess - Mid-tone pink red (Satin)

Scarlet Ibis - Bright orange red (Matte) <--- SO EXCITED. I missed IA and I wanted this so badly. D:

How to Marry - Soft White (Veluxe Pearl)

Preferred Blonde - Pale champagne beige (Veluxe Pearl)

Silver Screen - True silver (Veluxe Pearl)

Showgirl - Dark blue grey (Veluxe Pearl)

 

Soo... almost all the lipsticks and the four shadows. I'm feeling a lot better about this than I thought I would. c:

 

Wonder what Love Goddess is going to look like? I love my reds but this one has got me most intrigued.

Thank you, ladies! winks.gif

I love this blush, it is one of my favorites!! Pick it up when it comes out if you don't already have it!
post #323 of 8500

I'm so torn on this collection... I LOVE Marilyn Monroe!  And special packaging always seem to suck me in!  BUT, as Mac-Guy pointed out, reviewing the color story, AND obviously we know Marilyn's coloring.... this is a great collection for the pale beauties.  Probably not so much for me at NC30/35...  I'll probably find a few things to grab just to take part in the collection...

post #324 of 8500

I do wonder if this collection will only suit lighter skin tones. I'm probably about a NC20 but unlike Marilyn I have dark hair. I'm looking forward to the pics of this collection and hoping I can make a nice haul. I hope the colors will suit everyone tho so we all can join in the fun.

post #325 of 8500

I think there will be more to this collection than items just for fair skin. Scarlet Ibis is a standout shade and multiple skin tones can rock it. A true blue is generally appealing across skintones as well.

 

I think there's a lot of potential for basic every-day shades as well as the ultra pin-up look. 

post #326 of 8500

I agree with you and I really really hope I didn't come across wrong. It would be very stupid of MAC to not make it a universal collection.

Ohh noo I understand :-) I agree, too. I think it would be kind of weird to have a collection without variety! Though I understand that a lot of the items were inspired by the look of Marilyn Monroe, I don't think that their intention is to just market to fair-skinned blondes, either! It looks to be a gorgeous fall collection with the promise of staples for everyone to wear! And the special packaging to boot. 

post #328 of 8500

Oh good. I'm tired and it's late so wanted to make sure I didn't say something I didn't intend to. I do think this collection will have good fall staples. I wonder how dark the reds will be and if they'll suit me. I hope so as I want some more fall/winter MAC lippies.

post #329 of 8500

I really like all the names of these products...I just really don't like red lips on me and I have stuff that is similar to most of the other products.

post #330 of 8500

I didn't mean to suggest that this is a collection for only pale ladies, just that it will definitely suit paler skintones better overall.  As one might expect given that Marilyn was fair skinned, and this is a collection inspired by her style.  I already own SI lippie, and I'm not really looking for another red lipstick.  And most of the face products seem like they will suit fairer skin than mine.  I will surely find a few things to get (I'm definitely eyeing some of those VP eyeshadows), but it won't be a "have to have it all" collection for me.  I am really excited to see the packaging!
