WOC: Mac Marilyn

My local MAC store is having a big event. I opted not to go but they let me pre-order yesterday and I got the three items that I wanted from this collection TODAY. I got Charmed I'm Sure & Love Goddess lipsticks and the Forever Marilyn beauty powder. I didn't get Deeply Adorned because it's deep red/burgundy and I have enough burgundy for now. The lipstick tubes are cute. The beauty powder compact has a raised top and inside mirror. I rounded out my haul with backups of Richly Honed & both brushes; 215 & 163. Replacement brush cleaner and P & P highlighter in Light Boost.

Shopping is exhausting...now I lay me down to sleep....with a smile on my face.

Hey y'all! I went to the unveiling last night and I have to say the only things that stood out to me were deeply adorned lipstick and charmed I'm sure. I purchased deeply adorned and plan to go back to get charmed I'm sure when it releases. here's me trying it out after I got home last night

Thanks. You look great! I'm trying to tell myself I don't need any of those Marilyn lipsticks but I'm liking how DA is looking.

I ended up ordering:

Love Goddess l/s (hope this will be my favorite from the collection)
Pure Zen l/s
Beauty Powder (I just couldn't avoid the packaging; I'm determined)
Showgirl e/s
Preferred Blonde e/s

I'll still go in stores next week to try on Scarlet Ibis, Charmed I'm sure and get the Redd lip liner I just wanted to make sure I got what I really wanted! It's obvious that Pure Zen wasn't going anywhere lol I just was clicking anyway.

I pre-ordered DA, LG and CIS l/s @ local MAC store for an event on Sat. From the website I made off with a bp and another LG /ls.

Even though I'm NC45 I wanted the bp because it is the showpiece of this collection.

I'm not going to use it - just treasure it like my extra Marine Life powder.

What did you all pick up?

I ordered:


  • Love Goddess (x2)
  • Scarlet Ibis (x2)
  • Charmed I'm Sure (x2)
  • Deeply Adored (x2)

I want to swatch the Beauty Powder first and I'm going to get the lip pencils "later" (which could mean next week). I'm also getting Pure Zen and other Cremesheen+Pearl colors after the holidays. I lost interest in the eye shadows when I learned they're a larger size and I don't feel I need to have any of the colors. If I do like the colors after swatching, I'll probably opt for something similar from the permanent line instead. It's not part of the collection, but I also want to get the 231 brush to use as a lip brush.

WELL... After looking at swatches on Temptalia I'm gonna pre-sale purchase Love Goddess n possibly The Perfect Cheek depending on how it swatches on my NC50 hand lol... Honestly ALL the lipsticks r gorgeous n I may be swayed to pick up C I S and D A!!! I know I want P Z too but at a later time...

I was out getting a blue tooth headset for my new iPhone 5 (anniv gift) so I missed the MAC Marilyn online launch. I looked out of curiosity and all of the lipsticks, lipglasses and beauty powder were sold out. INCREDIBLE! I'm glad I preordered or I would be S. O. L.
