MAC Strength Collection Discussion (December 2012) - Page 19

I'm kinda late to the party on this collection (i heard about the muscle lady, but missed finding this forum). Not much is grabbing me - fortunately, after Glamour Daze / Fabulousness / Guilty Passions.

LIPSTICK

Strong Woman – Bright violet (Matte) - only if it is truly VIOLET and not purple - i have Violetta already, it's more than bright enough for me.

Firm Form – Gilded black with gold pearlized pigments (Matte) - no question here - this is an absolute YES!

I'm so thrilled to see more brown and bronzey blushes. It will take time to get used to brown cheeks, but it's certainly more wearable than orange blush (though I don't want to be without Modern Mandarin).

 I meant more beige-brown blushes, like Personal Style or All's Good.

     i have used the one from semi-precious, pressed amber alot. its flat already 

bronze strobe! i've been waiting a long time for this....

can't wait for this collection, how similar is Pink Pigeon to Candy Yum Yum?

Well, these comments are all raising my hopes for Taupe Shape and Poised, that at least one of them will suit me.

I have neutral pinks - Pink Tea, Pink Cult - which is why i skipped The Perfect Cheek - too similar. And i've been soaking in Glamour Daze so much that i forget i picked up Baby Don’t Go ("light cool beige") from Office Hours. I do have a old brown blush, L'Oréal Blushesse Café au Lait, that i got in either the 80s or 90s and still occasionally wear. But i could use an updated brown blush product.

Still, i'm only definitely getting one thing - Firm Form - from this collection. I'll be checking out 3 others: Strong Woman which is probably a pass, and those two brown-beige blushes. With so many new collections coming up i gotta try and stay sane!

It's similar enough that I didn't get PP the first time around since I already have CYY. (Though I think I might get it this time.) CYY is more neon and has more of a purple tone to it than PP.

Yes, I knew this. I'm still going to order from abroad because Helsinki is the hardest place to get stuff from. You actually have to go to the counter and twist their arm.

OMG Where do you order from with shipping to Finland? Yeah, I live in Turku and was planning a trip to Helsinki just to fight for this collection :D

There are three possibilities ATM: you can get a CP (from a fellow Specktrette or if you know someone who does this 'professionally'), you can order from Mac UK Mail Order (they charge 18 GBP for shipping) or EvilBay of course.

I was a very naughty girl. I decided to treat myself to Chanel's Notorious blush. It had been listed as "sold out" yesterday, but I checked a few minutes ago and there it was. It was calling my name. I swear to it. I decided to order it to see what all the fuss is about. I'm so happy right now. Now, all I need is for Jet and Taste Tempations to be released (soon enough I know) and then the Strength Collection.

I need some Firm Form in my life.

Everyone should treat his/herself once in a while  I do it all the time  And excellent choice, i bet you will be very pleased with it :) Haven't had the opportunity to get my hands on Notorious myself yet, since it's not released yet in Europe. Enjoy your blush!

I believe it was released here already, but just in the chanel boutique in amsterdam. I also treated myself to some chanel. I got Malice and the quad. I wore the quad today and loved it! I'm starting to want Notorious, but I'm already pleased with Coffee Walnut and Strada as contour colours.

Oh i didn't know that  We have a Chanel boutique too here in Belgium, but it's in Brussels, i hardly ever go there. Enjoy your quad and Malice, they are just amazing  I bought the quad, Malice and Star Dust blush myself, Eclats du Soir really is my favorite holiday collection for this year

I'm still trying to catch up on the chanel thread...only 272 posts left and that where over 700 two days ago:p Maybe you can call them and ask if they still have it? I'm not sure if you would be able to travel there though. I try to skip some things and since Notorious is most likely sold out already in amsterdam and if not I would have to travel quite a lot, it's easier to skip. You also got some great chanel goodies! I can't wait to try Malice, but I'm also still enjoying Everything That Glitters.

I can definitely relate lol ..  Trying to skip a few things as well atm, november has been crazy already (Glamour Daze, OPI Skyfall collection, Chanel's Eclats du Soir collection, ..) and it's only the 8th  I guess i'll wait for Notorious to either be released at the counters, or i'm likely to skip it as well. If it does hit the counters i'll probably get it tho

Good stategy I'll do the same This was indeed an expensive month already and October has been expensive too. Good thing nothing exciting is coming until december. Ok that's a lie. A Inglot and Make Up Studio store will open in eindhoven this month and that's of course very exciting! New makeup shops for me

Oh really, that's great news!  Any idea about the exact date when the Inglot store will open? Need to plan a shopping trip to Eindhoven that day for sure!

No they think halfway november, but no exact date as of yet. Inglot netherlands has a facebook page and you can check that. I'm sure they will post it when the store opens up.

Wow I just googled it and it looks like a gorgeous blush.. I need it in my life... is it a  limited edition though?

Yes. I do believe it's limited edition. They restocked on their sight..just an FYI.

Yep it is.. I couldn't find it anywhere online here :(
