MAC - Dare To Wear Discussion

The purples keep looking less unique with more swatches so I'll have to think about them more and see if I can find dupes in my collection.

My lists and my questions look exactly the same. I love the pigmented glosses and try to get my list smaller

And as much as I like the swatches of the green eyeshadow, I am not sure if I would wear it enough

I don't know if I will wear the green a lot either, but it is my dream green if I ever had one!

It really is, that's why it is still on my list.

I want alllll of the dazzleglasses I think. I'm not even much of a gloss girl but these make me

I think the only shadows I'm going to get are Free to Be and Lime. I THINK. I like the blues too but I have so many blues...

Misspoke then.. The glosses, whatever they're called... I want them.

I may end up with only Sassy Grass... I wanted the purples, but I agree that they are not looking all that unique from the swatches. I have a vibrant purple from Sugarpill which looks similar, and I have used it once. I don't think I need Shock-a-holic after all. I love this collection, but with so many brights in my collection already, I have alot that are similar. Sassy Grass, though, is a must have for me

I told her that the word was already out and she laughed and was like "nevermind" on that. As far as seeing collections before they launch, my Nordstrom counter back home in UT is great about having a little basket with the upcoming launch testers in it. They put it out maybe 1-2 weeks in advance and are pretty nice about letting anyone see it. Flaminbird, maybe try Nordstrom at Tyson's? Or the other Nordstrom in No.Va I can't remember the name off hand. I do agree they are very snotty there- I visit my parents there every year and it's always horrid going in there. But last time I was there they already had Warm & Cozy on display even though it was a week before the launch... As for these new Zoffe swatches! Can I have one of everything please!! No but I definitely want Zingy, Goin' Bananas, and Sassy Grass e/s. Ban This! and Dare to Dear dtwlg are mine too! Ok now that I've written a whole novel....

My counter did that but then they stopped. I think that was back under the first Manager and not the current Manager. It was always nice to see things before they came out.

Uh-huh.

I have also crossed Dare to Dare off my list. While it looks wearable, I don't think it is the right tone of pink for me unfortunately.

So, looks like it will just be SG, the purples, Ban This!, and the red one.

Add Going Bananas to that and that's my list too.

I should get Going Bananas.... I just don't know if I will use it.

 

[GlamQueen21]

OK, I'm going to get rid of Aqua, Sky Blue and Lime e/s off of my list since it's permanent in the PRO line and I can either CP for them or just do a phone order. My list right now is:

Zingy e/s
Sassy Grass e/s
Going Bananas e/s
Shock-A-Holic e/s
Louder Please e/s
Crazy Cool e/s

C'mon... You'll never know if you don't buy it...

Layla darlin -- these lgs are like no others I have ever seen.. and I have seen a lot from so many different companies.. I will use my testers (except the coppery one which makes me look jaundiced) -- and I am going to buy bu's for all the shades. they are really really amazing

 

[User38]

the Red one... is especially special

I am still only set on the red and purple ones. i dont wear pink enough to justify the other two. this way, I can back them up.

Yes, I will pass Sky Blue now as well - I can still get it later as a pro pan!

My guess is that it's actually good for MAC if info gets out beforehand. Lots of people become hooked on an item after seeing swatches of it. It's how the hypes are born, yes?

Agree! Like I have said before, Specktra is where I get all my info. If I wasn't on here, I wouldn't buy half the MAC that I do.

When a product gets hyped on here, I know it's good, so I feel like I have to get it.
