[Naynadine]

Here's a good post on how to create the Marilyn look with the products of the collection:

Think I'm just getting the BP. Want to get a few things from Illamasqua and gotta save up for GD! And theres a few new red lippies by L'oreal that are coming out. Did you see the swatches on Allura?! They are gorg, I want all four! Heres the link... http://www.allurabeauty.com/2012/review-swatches-loreal-fall-2012-project-runway-colour-riche-lipcolour-lipsticks/ the polishes look awesome too. L'oreal has really been hitting it out of the park lately.

Here is a swatch of Blushbaby next to TPC.
I did also swatch Mocha,Pink Tea and Pink Cult for a comparison.HTH!

I don't know if you have talked about this before but anyone knows how The Perfect Cheek compares to Blushbaby? If it's similar I think I will skip TPC and get Blushbaby instead.

i think im only getting the dark red lippie, the bp and a blush MAYBE

Thank you so much! I think I'm going to skip TPC.

So far, I only know that I definitely want Love Goddess and Scarlet Ibis (I missed the IA collection altogether, boo). Not sure about the other 2 reds. Red lipstick and I don't get along; All of them pull pink and/or fuschia on me! I just got Runaway Red, same issue. Ditto Heartless, Eden Rouge, Fire Sign, Red Racer, etc. etc. I will have to swatch those 2 in person.

I am not sure about the blushes and BP yet either. Aiming to only get one, and so far I think the BP will be my best bet. Have to see more swatches though. My counter doesn't allow pre-orders nor do they do sneak peeks, so I am stuck waiting for release day.

Mercifully, I'm not interested in anything else. Money saved for the holiday collection!

Thank you so much for doing this. I have both Pink Cult and Blushbaby, and I think The Perfect Cheek is close enough to these that I can skip it. My bank account is grateful to you

BP BU time

Thanks for the swatches, MACina! Now I know that I can safely pass on TPC without any skipper's remorse. I have Pink Cult and don't use it nearly enough. Plus, I also own Blushbaby and NEVER use it b/c I tend to reach for Tarte's Exposed instead. TPC wouldn't get the proper love it deserves from me!

 

[Slimmycakes]

Thanks to everyone posting swatches the help us decide. It's only a few days till it's online but I think I'm just sticking to three lippies.

Now I want Scarlet Ibis. I watched Seven Year Itch last night and seriously could not get over the gorgeousness that is Marilyn Monroe. I impatiently waited for her next on screen appearance and which awesome outfit she would wear next. The lipstick she wears throughout the movie looks exactly like Scarlet Ibis and I couldn't get over how beautiful it looked on her!

 

[barbiemarce15]

call your local mac and department stores that have mac to find out if they'll be doing pre orders, i went to nordstroms today and was able to pre order

Thank you so much

Oh gosh, now I want it too! My local theater played Some Like it Hot this week and had special themed cocktails. SO fun. Loving that Marilyn is everywhere right now!

If Mac had created SI in the 1950s, Marilyn would have worn it lol. I LOVE Some Like it Hot! It was my first Marilyn movie. I also saw it live when it came to my city about 8 years ago.

 

[Deadly]

My list has gone from about 8 items to 5 items..

I think I'll only get

Charmed I'm Sure and Deeply Adored l/s
Legendary and The Perfect Cheek p/b (may sell my TPC in normal packaging)
Forever Marilyn b/p

 

[Kaidan]

I'll only get Scarlet Ibis and Forever Marilyn bp. I'm still not sure about Love Goddess.

 

[gracie90]

The bp looks divine! I'm going to have to be quick though - it'll sell out in no time!

 

[Paisly]

If you have Pink Cult + a BU... Do you girls think The prefect cheek is necessary?

 

[sss215]

forever marilyn bp, the perfect cheek, legendary
deeply adored, pure zen, scarlet ibis, love goddes, charmed im sure

I preordered my items right now and i ordered both blushes and beauty powder, and deeply adored, love goddess, and charmed i'm sure

LG is pretty much in the bag... it will be alone, but in the bag for sure!

Does the online store in the UK sell out as fast as the US one?
