MAC for Marilyn - Page 19

post #541 of 8500
I like the packaging! I am probably only getting the BP though...
post #542 of 8500

The packaging is allllllriiiiiight I guess. I envisioned something totally different. I'm only interested in the lipsticks but I need to see swatches.

post #543 of 8500

I honestly don't even know which items I'm going to buy. I just know that b/c it's Marilyn, I'll be coming home with something (or a lot of somethings). 

 

I probably should at least look at the color story and try to narrow things down...

I think it's great!

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!

 

That is Chanel Excessive ls on her. I own that lipstick & it is my ALL time favorite red lipstick!

I need to have this lipstick in my life. I did a quick search for it. Is it a limited edition color?

i think i need to get that lipstick! wow!!

post #550 of 8500

I like that Mac has used Rare photos showing the dedication to the collection and Marilyn.. but as a addict... mmm i cant say i was too impressed. Perhaps I had prepared myself for something different so thats why i feel disappointed...

 

either way... still planning on a good haul from this collection based on the products!

post #551 of 8500

I'm a bit disappointed in the packaging too. I will get the red lipsticks though (and I'm sure by then I will lust for more).sigh.gif

You don't think the big, completely opaque compact is mirrored?  I LOVE the packaging as long as it's not stickered.

Found this when I was browsing ebay for Heavenly Creature stuff:

Yeah the beauty powder compact will probably be mirrored :) However i believe the people who are talking about a mirrored compact are referring to one like for example the Venomous Villains I'm So Vain one, so just a mirror without product. I could be wrong tho smiles.gif

I use the mirrored powder compacts even once they're empty if I like the design enough so this wouldn't bother me AT ALL!  I would LOVE to be able to pull this compact out of my bag - powder or not!!  love.gif

Yes, I'm not getting the BP cause it will probably be too light for me; if there was an alternative mirror only compact I would have been on it.

Okay packaging down, now the agony of waiting for swatches. Lol

Aww that's a shame ssad.gif And i can definitely relate, allthough the opposite counts for me, usually products are too dark for my skintone, lol sigh.gif

 

And yeah, on to the swatches lol, i'm especially curieus about the veluxe pearl e/s eyelove.gif

Wow! How do they get these products so early?! I still don't know how I feel about the packaging, the picture itself I do like. 

post #560 of 8500

The BP is going to be so gorgeous in the compact with special packaging.  I am actually anticipating it with more lust than the lipsticks and that isn't really like me.  I do think the lipsticks will sell out like bananas though.  This is going to be more hype that HK.

Gosh Cosmetics Red Delight looks just the same. Unfortunately discontinued. It is liquid lipstick in a tube, but dries matte. Stays on for almost ten hours if I put it on with a lip brush.

 I agree - would totally hold onto this compact after I run out of product!

Thanks! Duh, don't know why I didn't think to check Chanel directly. But I looked and still don't see it. It's a Rouge Allure Satin #67, correct? I see #68 Emotive, but not #67 Excessive.

post #566 of 8500

stil 50/50 about the packagin.. waiting for swatches so i can decide how much this is going to dent my pocket, lol

post #567 of 8500

Think I'm just going to get the beauty powder and the champagne-y beige e/s!

No! It was there. Well, I just went to Nordstoms & ordered a BU so as of now they still have it. Its a little brighter looking than in that picture.

The swatch on the Nordstrom site looks pink. This is a red lipstick, right?
