MAC Year of the Snake Collection Discussion (February 2013) - Page 7

Sadly this is KaDeWe (Berlin) exclusive in Germany. Don't know how limited the stock will be.

OMG! I may have a chance to buy a Shell Pearl! I don't have it, and it's on my new list of DC'd/LE products i want.

Did you see it in person yet? I checked today and it wasn't in. Booo! I was planning a BU but now that I have the chance to get Shell Pearl I'll have to stick with just one. Or skip the Chanel and get 2 Shell Pearls...

Gah! Can't decide!

Noooo, don't skip the Chanel one.It is gorgeous!

I have so many highlighters already, 2. I probably won't even touch it because I love the imprint and I want to keep it intact and 3. the hefty price tag.

They have the testers in already in some places, but no stock yet. I swatched the highlighter and thought it was amazing! The colour is great and the texture is love! You at least should try it in store:)

I'm not sure what skintone you are, but the Chanel highlighter is lighter than SP and I think I'll like it better for that reason. I love SP, but it doesn't get as much love as other highlighters.

Hahaha, this is funny, here I am, thinking maybe I will skip the Chanel highlighter because I have so many, won't use it anyway, etc. and then the first thing I read is "Nooo, don't skip the Chanel one!" Lol. I haven't seen it in person, might check it out tomorrow, but we have snow forecast for tomorrow and I hate driving in snow, so I might not. Do you think it will sell out quickly?

There's a good chance the stores near you only have the testers like mine did, so if you have to drive through the snow I would make sure they have actual stock. If they don't then you will also be able to get it later. I'm just recently getting into high end brands and therefore this is still quite a unique product for me. I can understand that you might have similar product since you have been collecting for a longer time.

It is really gorgeous though, so much so, I probably won't use it, but the collector in me wants it. It's supposed to launch here tomorrow, but I may not be able to see it until sometime next week. Ugh, I don't know.

The store I went too might even have found a Horizon blush for me, so I think with Chanel if you really want it you'll be able to track it down. Just ask if they can look in their system when they're sold out. I don't think it will be gone in a week though. Just take your time and think about it well.

When it comes to HLs the lighter the better! Looks like one of each then

I tried it as well in the past for the same reason and failed Just don't swatch anymore products only the highlighter

I would say that is Fate trying to get a message to you.

Okay, what is the highlighter called?  Is it the LE from the Spring collection.  Now you have me curious...

What Corally said and yes it's from their spring line:)

Good question.  I thought the color this year was Tangerine?

Naw, Tangerine was sooo 2012.

Most of the snakes i've seen are various shades of browns - i've had a lot of friends who keep snakes and i've gotten to handle many of them. Very few are green - the albino corn snake was kind of pale peach. Still a serpentine green eyeshadow would be nice.

WOW!! I'm getting all three e/s and I'm thinking of getting another Shell Pearl BP. You know what, I will get another Shell Pearl BP!

I have to get Shell Pearl because I'm a snake.  Sound logic, right?  Too bad I have to cut back because those lipsticks look so so cool.

Oh who was I kidding? Just ordered the Chanel highlighter from House of Fraser, lol.

I might have to finally get a Freckletone l/s that I've always heard so much about now that it's got a snake on it! The shadows look great too and I would have loved a green!
