MAC for Marilyn - Page 13

I have The Perfect Cheek, but for  some reason I want a new one.

Is that weird?

*Nods in agreement*

I second this!!! She looks gorgeous in this picture.

Seeing as this collx is going to have a satin pink red I'm really going to have to think twice about Fire Sign. I have quite a few lustres & don't reach for them often because of the staying power.

From the color story info on this, I'm really going to have to think twice about HC & really limit what I get. I think Marilyn is going to be a MAJOR HAUL for me! I'm not too excited about HC (perhaps, b/c I've yet to see it in person) but I'm all about this collx. I hope it's as beautiful as it sounds.

 

I am going to try to do this as well! 

 

I should take my time enjoying my HC products anyway.  Too often I lust after products for a long time & then use them only briefly before the next MAC collection is released.

 

I hope that they get very creative with the packaging for this collection.  What if they were to use pics from different stages in MM's life and career on different products?  Then I would have to buy at least one product with each different pic on it.   I really hope that there is amazing special packaging!

 Me too! I do hope MM will have amazing packaging and I will be all over that collection.

Jenntoz,

This is a priceless picture! The girls are too cute.

(must have Queen's Sin)

When I got bit by the MU bug a few months ago I got a wild hair that I wanted a plummy/mauve blusher. When I asked around everyone looked at me like they had never had heard of such a thing before. I felt a little odd, why is this so strange? I hope MAC comes out with something fitting this description...that works for pale skinned people.

 

No, I thought the same thing & I'm sure that I have at least 1 BU. But, they are never quite the same color when they are re-released. How's that for an excuse even though its true.

 

How beautiful & adorable! Absolutely sweet! I can't believed she is that age already. Thanks for sharing that cute pic.

It isn't strange at all. The people that looked at you like you were strange are the odd ones. I seem to have similar problems when I get into my strange makeup color phase. I have been craving a periwinkle color in a l/s, l/g, shadow, blush, liner and mascara (yes, fellow Specktrettes I am mentioning this color yet again) & I have people looking at me as if I am insane. I'm not! I just get into a color frenzy of wants. I do love me some mauvey colors. Fingers crossed we get some in the upcoming collections. I know there is a prolonged wear eyeshadow coming out called Mauveless and I'm getting it no matter what.

 

Is this the holiday collection or no?

 

No, Paparazziboy said it's 60's inspired!

yup its called glamour daze i believe if i remember right ;) 

Lol. Yeah she is so gorg, and talented as all hell! I think shed be awesome for Viva Glam! The I actually cropped the pic just to show her face.

 

Here's another pic. It's one of my favs! Again I cropped it to see her face better. You should look up the whole photoshoot. Just google Adele Vouge. All the pics are amazing!!!

 

The color looks deeper in this then in the other pic. But its def a matte red. I hope at least one of the lippies from this look like it!

 

 

  I can't wait to hear more about the holiday collection.

 

Just gorgeous!!! I love Adele. Would love for her to collaberate with MAC on a collection. Her makeup is to die for. That lippie keeps singing to me. I love everything. Her makeup, her skin, just everything that is Adele.

 

 

The Perfect Cheek looks very pretty, but I'm wondering how close it is to Blushbaby. I have and love that one (great natural look) and I'm seriously eyeing Nars Douceur. How do all of you keep from buying near dupes? I'm up to 11-12 blushes and don't really wear pinks (that aren't brown pinks), so I keep finding myself drawn to colours that are very close to something I already have. I'm trying to stay away from Nars Deep Throat, Amour and Douceur (gorgeous as they are) because I suspect they'll look a whole lot like my MAC stash.

 

Both Marilyn blushes sound very pretty. The soft coral may be similar to Immortal Flower and The Perfect Cheek looks superficially similar to Blushbaby so maybe reason will prevail and I'll avoid purchasing one or both. Maybe.

I love my immortal flower so I want the soft coral even if its a little different or not.

Douceur is a very soft rose blush, brown/rose but highly sublte and delicate. Douceur deserves its name. Actually it's maybe more a Fall/winter whereas Sex Appeal is maybe more a Spring one ( peachy rose, very soft too ). It's just my opinion on the 2 Nars blushes, I have them both but honestly I don't wear them all the time, I prefer frankly pink shades ( Gaiety, Angelika, Chanel pink explosion, Dior rosy glow or Benefit Hervana or Bella Bamba ), Douceur is lovely though and easy to wear.

Hmmm, I have Blushbady too. Maybe I can avoid TPG and just get the soft coral.

I love it too, although I'm not wearing it this summer. I wore it a lot this spring but right now I seem to be reaching for Warm Soul, Flower Fantasy, Fleet Fast or bronzer as blush with a touch of MM or Peachykeen for colour. I think I'll go back to it when my summer bronze/orange colour kick is over.

It's very pretty, that's for sure. I wear my neutrals (Blushbaby, Prism) more in the fall/winter and would see Douceur fitting in with those shades. I also like Launch Away for a natural pink flush and I'm sure that will get some use this fall.  I was at Sephora yesterday and wore Deep Throat home. I like that a lot too, and it doesn't have the glimmer of Orgasm which I can just barely wear over bronzer if I use a fan brush.

 

I can't wear the purer pinks; they don't look right with my yellow undertones although I like them a lot. I can get away with a light wash of Dollymix, so I wear that occasionally.

Dollymix is very intense but it's softer than it looks, I sometimes wear it too, as for Deep throat it's not a pure pink so I am not surprised you are happy with it. For me it's the opposite I wear it maybe twice a year but like many Nars blushes it's pretty ! Have you tried Oasis a rose champagne ? It's rose yes but not a pure rose at all, it really looks like some champagne rosé no doubt !

Oasis is too glittery for me. I have Orgasm and only wear the faintest trace of it with blusher; I love the underlying colour but I think this one will shortly be leaving my stash in search of younger skin to live on.

 

We're doing a cross-border shopping trip next weekend, and I'm considering purchasing 2-3 Nars blushes. My list as it stands now is Deep Throat, Gilda or Gina, Amour (perhaps) and Douceur (perhaps). I'm trying to avoid dupes of what I already have in MAC though. You seem to know the NARS blushes well; would you mind letting me know if any of the ones I'm thinking of are near cousins to my current MAC blushes below? Please and thank you, kiss kiss, etc.

I dunno if anyone else does, but I kind of consider sin by nars to be mauvey...have you checked it out? (it's been on my wish list for s while but I'm waiting till fall....)

I'd agree with that. It's definitely a purpley mauvey colour.

 

Have you tried Breath of Plum? It's really pretty on pale skin.

 I never heard of this blush. What brand is it from? Thank you for the info Winthrop44.

 

 I need to check this blush out & soon! Thank you aradhana!

^ Agree with Winthrop.. Breath of Plum is gorgeous..

 

and with Aradhana, Sin is a plummy raspberry with the best pigmentation.
