MAC Strength Collection Discussion (December 2012) - Page 8

post #211 of 4717

WOOHOO!!!

 

I'm a sucker for all things taupe.....that blush is going to come home with me for sure!

post #212 of 4717

I use it as a base for all my pink blushes and of course for lavender blushes like Full of Joy or Sakura.

 

ES gives pink blushes a (more or less) purple/lavender hue and I really like that!

 

It is also very nice as a base for Azalea Blossom and Whisper of Gilt.

 

 

I don' t have Bat Black but if it is lip safe I would use on my lips!

I think the brown blushes will go really well with the purple lippies!

Thank you for the tips. I have only a few pink blushes because they are not really the best color for me, but I welcome the purple/lavender hue eyelove.gif !

I forgot....you can also use it (and all the other CS) as a base for MSFs of course!

Did you get Star Wonder?It looks very nice over ES too.

Yes I did! (no BU though) That is one combo I've been pondering about. I've been using OFF with the other MSFs.

This is great....ES + SW is a very pretty combo heart.gif

I'm interested in the blushes and PP l/s., but that's all. I think I'll be escaping the winter collections mostly unscathed, which is good because I did NOT do that with MM and GD!

post #218 of 4717

I can't wait to see what taupe blush looks like on darker skin tones...

Haha, just like in The Campaign? th_roll1.gif

Seriously, every single quad that has been released since I started getting into MAC (June 2011) has ended up in my CCO. And not in just quantities of a few either, but large quantities. They have/had much older ones too. I even picked up a Hello Kitty quad early this year!

 

If the trend does not continue, I'll survive. I only have what feels like a couple hundred eyeshadows to keep me company. girlhaha.gif

post #222 of 4717
What do you guys think about Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot on NC35 skin?
post #223 of 4717

Oh man! That black lipstick with the gold shimmer is AWESOME! That will be mine for sure! eyelove.gif

post #224 of 4717

So stunning...

They said that phrase in The Campaign? I haven't seen that movie yet. I friend said that phrase to me years ago and it cracks me up every time.

I don't think anyone actually says that phrase in the movie. The main character actually DOES those things. (I've not seen the movie, but I've seen enough commercials for it to know that he does indeed punch a baby.)

girlhaha.gif This made me laugh so much! Now I have to see the movie.

 

By the way, any luck with your job hunt?

I can't wait for this to come out. I was playing with my lip pencils, and I plan to pair Firm Form with NYX Black Berry and NYX Gold.

post #232 of 4717

Dear MAC,

 

Please release a nice, comfy black lip liner.  Thanks!

Afraid not. I have an interview for a seasonal position tomorrow though, which would definitely be better than nothing. Thank you for wondering!

So far I have used the chromagraphic pencil Black Black or a black eye pencil.But these always feel a bit drying on my lips.

This is the collection with Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot and Firm Form. There's also a matte violet lipstick that my MA said was like Heroine and one other color (if I recall correctly, it's a med. blue pink, but I'm not 100% sure).

 

There are 2 quads, each with 3 new colors and one repromote. One is neutral with pale white, grey, taupe and the warm black, which is a repro called Black Magique. The other quad is a variety of lavenders and purples, including a repro of Heather Belles (from Tartan Tales). 

 

There are 2 blushes, one called Taupe Shape, described as "satiny taupe", with a Satin finish, and another that's a soft "pinkish brown".

 

I didn't want to just copy out of the book, out of respect for my MA, so no full color story, but this one definitely is a winner and you are all going to bug the hell out at that promo image!

 

 

I cannot wait to snatch up Pink Pigeon & Party Parrot heart.gif

 

Ok so looks like we have a name for the Violet lipstick "Strong Woman" (I've also been told its a great dupe for Heroine)

"Strong Woman" is described as a bright Violet matte, to be released with the Strength collection.

 

I hear all the lipsticks in that collection will me matte. (not 100% sure though)

post #237 of 4717
All the lipsticks will be mine!!!!!!!!!

I missed both of those when they came out, better believe I will get those this time lol... I just got heroine (sounds funny) as a back up but that "strong woman" sounds sooo pretty I'll be getting that too....

Oh yea have fun at the event today : ) I wish I could go I have a friend that works there she'll be working tonight her name is Ashley she invited me to go but I cant't ugh mommy duties; and I'm the team mom too lol so team mommy duties ugh!
post #239 of 4717

I got Party Parrot when it was out with the IA collection, but I skipped Pink Pigeon since I felt it could be duped.  Don't really remember which color I thought it was close to though.  Any thoughts?

post #240 of 4717

If I get Firm Form and nothing else from any of the other winter collections, I will be very happy. I'll be able to indulge in at least just that since I got that holiday job at Macys! ;D I start at the end of November. (I can't bring myself to buy makeup regularly anymore until I get a permanent job.)
