MAC X The Return of Marilyn Monroe Collection Discussion (2013) - Page 6

I picked up only the lipsticks on the last collection which I love but today received FM Beauty Powder from a blog sale and I regret not picking up BUs.  I hope they repromote the FM BP because I will definitely pick up several!!

I picked up 1 BU from a blog sale also.

I know it's a long shot, but I'd love to see colors based on some of her famous costumes. Because heck yes I'd buy a lipstick the color of her Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend dress!

 

Love that pic...

well, I don't mind another MM. I think FM definately needs to be included, as well as both some repromoted lippies and some new ones and yes, matte neutral eye shadows. I got none of the e/s. They didn't make sense to me tbh.

I can't wait to see the lipsticks from this collection

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, it is the ONLY thing i DID get. I like it. I keep it in my basic makeup kit. On me it isn't chalky, but i know things vary depending on skin tone. I didn't find it uncomfortably gritty. And if you peek at my sig you'll see i like sparklyWe all like different stuff that why there is SO MUCH different stuff!!!

Back in the late 60s or early 70s i had some L.T. Piver Pompeia loose powder in an old-fashioned cardboard box. And for it i bought a puff - it was hot pink swansdown. Ah, the bad old days

Marilyn, Hepburn, Bardot...I'm sure others could fill in 1 or 2 more ladies.

 

It'd probably be more effective than a single collection focused on a single woman. I think a mascara purely focused on getting Hepburn's Dolly Lashes + False Eyelashes. Marilyn's Iconic Lips and a Beauty Powder. A Bronzing Powder and Eyeliner for Bardot. 

 

Just something to make these collections a little more WOC friendly.

Double if it was a Sophia collection with her and Monica Bellucci in the print ads. I weep at the thought.

They did the Beauty Icons a few years ago (Liza Minnelli, Diana Ross, Catherine Deneuve, Raquel Welch, Dame Edna) I really wish they would have kept that going...All of the ladies you all mentioned would have been amazing in that series of collections.

LMAO. #icant

My friend just told me a joke with that expression last week:

What sound does a cow make? Moooo. What should does a dog make? Woof Woof. What sound does a bird make? YAAAAASSSSSSS!!!! 

The IG photos are a riot too.

Back to the topic: I'm waiting for the color story because I may be seeing red if it's a complete repromote.

I hope they will do lippies in the retromatte formula like Ruby Woo. I got Ruby Woo recently and love it (can you believe that I didn't have Ruby Woo for all those years!). I know some people find it very drying, but as long as I used prep + prime and a lipliner underneath I can handle it and the effect is to die for!

Well,  then you finally discovered one of the most beautiful MAC lipstick IMO. If it weren't so drying I would wear it all the time. Even with P+P my lips get really dry after a few hours. Now I save it for special occasions or if I know I'll only wear it for an evening or a few hours out. I don't love it one bit less though. I think it is my no. 1 red lipstick, even if I don' t reach for it on regular basis. Sounds weird, I know..

ETA: I do love Party Parrot a lot though...

I'm glad you like it so much as well! The colour is really special and I see why it's a favorite among so many.

Is it a blue red or more an orange red? I myself am a big fan of the blue reds!

I'm majorly tempted to pick up Ruby Woo and Prep & Prime Lip now. I'm a red lip addict lately!

I will  I think I'm going to do lip swatches of all my MAC lipsticks so that I can figure out which shades work the best for me. I'm excited for Ruby Woo to get here!

Thank you
