WOC: Mac Marilyn - Page 3

My For Sure List is

Charmed I'm Sure
Love Goddess
Deeply Adorned

I'm sooooooo excited to get them!!!

My local MAC store is having a big event.  I opted not to go but they let me pre-order yesterday and I got the three items that I wanted from this collection TODAY.  I got Charmed I'm Sure & Love Goddess lipsticks and the Forever Marilyn beauty powder.  I didn't get Deeply Adorned because it's deep red/burgundy and I have enough burgundy for now.  The lipstick tubes are cute.  The beauty powder compact has a raised top and inside mirror.  I rounded out my haul with backups of Richly Honed & both brushes; 215 & 163.  Replacement brush cleaner and P & P highlighter in Light Boost.

 

Shopping is exhausting...now I lay me down to sleep....with a smile on my face.  

Hey y'all! I went to the unveiling last night and I have to say the only things that stood out to me were deeply adorned lipstick and charmed I'm sure. I purchased deeply adorned and plan to go back to get charmed I'm sure when it releases. here's me trying it out after I got home last night

Oh my. This is such a pretty look! Did they do your face at the event? You look so pretty! What were you wearing on your eyes? Cheeks? Give me the scoop! LOL!

Thanks! nope I did it :-)  on my eyes I have: Maybelline's color tattoo in mossy green on the lid, MAC's Saffron in the crease with a little Corduroy and my highlight is MAC's Arena :-)

Thanks. You look great! I'm trying to tell myself I don't need any of those Marilyn lipsticks but I'm liking how DA is looking.

I've always been scared of reds and still am but imma rock this red this fall/winter!!

Yes! Rock it and werk it! Don't be skerred. This red is a good one for you.

 

ETA: Did you use a liner with it?

Thanks!! Nope no liner

 

MsChrys79 You're GORGEOUS...STUNNING.  LOVE the look!!!!

Thank you so much !!

sadly, im not as excited as i was  before about this collection. i really wanted the beauty powder but i doubt it will work for my skin tone, so for now its deeply adore and showgirl

Not sure if this has been posted yet but here you go...........

I ended up ordering:  

 

Love Goddess l/s (hope this will be my favorite from the collection)

Pure Zen l/s

Beauty Powder (I just couldn't avoid the packaging; I'm determined) 

Showgirl e/s

Preferred Blonde e/s

 

I'll still go in stores next week to try on Scarlet Ibis, Charmed I'm sure and get the Redd lip liner I just wanted to make sure I got what I really wanted! It's obvious that Pure Zen wasn't going anywhere lol I just was clicking anyway. 

I pre-ordered DA, LG and CIS l/s @ local MAC store for an event on Sat. From the website I made off with a bp and another LG /ls.

 

Even though I'm NC45 I wanted the bp because it is the showpiece of this collection.

 

I'm not going to use it - just treasure it like my extra Marine Life powder.

 

What did you all pick up?

I ordered:

 

• Love Goddess (x2)
• Scarlet Ibis (x2)
• Charmed I'm Sure (x2)
• Deeply Adored (x2)

 

I want to swatch the Beauty Powder first and I'm going to get the lip pencils "later" (which could mean next week). I'm also getting Pure Zen and other Cremesheen+Pearl colors after the holidays. I lost interest in the eye shadows when I learned they're a larger size and I don't feel I need to have any of the colors. If I do like the colors after swatching, I'll probably opt for something similar from the permanent line instead. It's not part of the collection, but I also want to get the 231 brush to use as a lip brush.

WELL... After looking at swatches on Temptalia I'm gonna pre-sale purchase Love Goddess n possibly The Perfect Cheek depending on how it swatches on my NC50 hand lol... Honestly ALL the lipsticks r gorgeous n I may be swayed to pick up C I S and D A!!! I know I want P Z too but at a later time...

I was out getting a blue tooth headset for my new iPhone 5 (anniv gift) so I missed the MAC Marilyn online launch.  I looked out of curiosity and all of the lipsticks, lipglasses and beauty powder were sold out.  INCREDIBLE!  I'm glad I preordered or I would be S. O. L.

Deeply adored is gorg. Also dont be afraid of the beauty powder ladies, Im nc45 tried it on and love it.

trust me you will use the beauty powder im nc45 and used it as a highlighter its great.

I'm not afraid of it because I have Lightscapade and it works just fine on my skintone. When used with a light hand and blending brush its wondeful.

 

 

 

 

Ladies,

 

Thanks for the tip!

 

The bp is on its way to me!

Well ladies I went to NORDSTROMS last nite 2 play in the Marilyn collection and here is my review: Both blushes were dusty and chalky and lacked any real pigmentation needed to accentuate my NC50 cheeks... The beauty powder was even worse... The lipsticks were all WOC friendly Love Goddess wasnt nearly as pigmented as I hoped...Scarlet Ibis is absolutely GORGEOUS n I want badly it very badly although I have her older satin sister Sail La Vie... Pure Zen is a WOC must buy and I will buy one 4 sure... Surprisingly Deeply Adored was the standout l/s 4 me and I am in luv with its matte yet creamy texture and vivid color payoff!!! The polishes were all pretty and Rich Rich Rich will be a holiday hit with its double dosage of glamourus gold... The shadows were pigmented and soft as suede but also extremely dupable... Anything else not mentioned either was run of the mill or just didnt interest me...

Thanks for the review. I may try Pure Zen at a later date since it's perm. My Nordstrom SA returns back from vacation in half an hour. (Yes, I'm waiting to call her as soon as she gets to work lol.) I need to make sure she was able to put the lippies on hold/presale for me. I originally just asked her for the BP and LG, but after seeing swatches and I emailed and asked her to add the other red lippies to my order. She never responded (found out she was off) so now I'm worried they may have already been presold. Fingers crossed as I really would prefer Deeply Adored to Love Goddess.

Agreed... Love Goddess is a pass 4 me while Deeply Adored is a must have 4 me...

I know u werent addressing me but I do believe L G is most definitely Dupeable... There is a similar Rimmel Kate Moss l/s that IMO has a way better color payoff and finish... Just sayin lol

Eden Rouge is BRIGHTER!!!

Haha! Just got in touch with my Nordies SA and told her how things are sold out and hard to get. She said she WILL get my stuff even if it means hiding it in the back and being sneaky. Funny part is that she works at the Lancome counter. I grabbed the lippies and even kept the BP on my order so I wouldn't have skipper's remorse. I'm sure it won't work for me though.

 

I wore Eden Rouge last week and it just looked off on me. I think it was likely the blue base. Not sure if I can pull that off. I was wearing Hidden Treasures blush, too. Was it maybe b/c one item was warm toned and the other cool? I swear I suck at makeup which is why I've worn the same look for YEARS.

I went to my local M.A.C store, next week I'll take 4 : Scarlet Ibis, Deeply adored, Surely Charmed and Love Goddess. Today I took a blush from the Office Hours collection waouh great ! Christine from Temptalia rated D or F so far I remember, I don't understand why, the blush I took is just perfect and really longwear. 24 € here in France, and I think the lipsticks for Marilyn are 21 € each.

Thanks and thanks for your comment about eden rouge as well!
