MAC for Chen Man Collection Discussion

[itching2snitch]

^YAY! I plan to get the permanent MES then to get back on the MES bandwagon.

They're not quite "permanent." Think of these new MES as extended limited edition products.

 

[itching2snitch]

something just isn't grabbing me though.... not quite sure why but i don't feel like i need it

lol you totally don't. it's like every and any bright, warm pink you can imagine. Pretty? Yes. Necessary? No. But like all brights, it will sell very quickly.

 

[itching2snitch]

You'll love them both!

The far left one looks so pretty but I hope it's a dud.

What's that yellow stuff (5 items) on the background?

The design of these is very cute i think. Maybe i will get the blue one. I never got Sea & Sky so i do not have the dupe.

It's the white!? - good to know. Although I have not noticed this problem with Lavender Whip (which is just pink-ish on me because things turn red on me) or Ever Hip, and CYY I have not really worn.

I love the yin yang design but the MES formula? Not so much. I think id be most interested in the pink one.

I was just going to say that the blue one looks like Sea&Sky. That purple is gorgeous!

 

[romi79_2008]

The original pink one, was a disaster for me, so check it out in the store first!

 

[Pinkdollface]

They look exactly the same to me. Like they took the Sea & Sky colours and made a different design with them.

This is why I am feeling meh about these MES. I thought I'd go cuckoo for cocoa puffs over the yin yang design but I am feeling they will be form over substance. Swatches could prove me dead wrong however and I love to be pleasantly surprised.

I'm skipping the MES on this collection, too. Force Of Love lipstick, however, is definitely on my list

 

[romi79_2008]

They look like the mes from summer 2008, i forgot the name of that coll, the blue one is sea& sky, the purple like the one from odd couple, and the pink one like pink split? i think. the ones from 2008 were not very good, decent color pay-off but lots of fall out, and they didn`t last very long

 

[2browneyes]

I always use the MES I have with a damp brush. Never tried them dry.

 

[romi79_2008]

here are the swatches from 2008 http://www.specktra.net/t/99157/mac-electro-flash-swatches-jul-08
i find them similar and i have them, don`t use them or like them very much, now if they changed the texture and are mmore like the recent ones, they could be better than the ones from 2008

Not sure if we've already seen the official promo product pics:

MAC CHEN MAN SPRING 2012



Still the only thing I want for sure is PIP, all the lip produtcs are maybes. Skipping the MES as well.

 

[martiangurll]

PiP is gorgeous. I would buy BU of it but with Snow Globe. the face powders from Vera and Elude, I think I am good for face powder for a while. PiP is one of my favorite BP however. Such a lovely cool toned pink without too much sheen. It works for me even though I am really more NW15-20ish in the Winter.
