MAC - Jeanius Discussion

[katred]

I'm curious - when do you ladies think we'll start seeing some more swatches? Do you think it won't be until the week before the launch, or do you think bloggers will start getting samples to review a little earlier? Is this just wishful thinking on my part? lol

It wouldn't surprise me if Mac got a little stingier with the blogger review samples, or at least delayed them until close to the launch. I don't think that the early reviews (not that they were that early, but even so) on WW cannot have done them much good. And in that case, they have the WW name to back them up. I don't know if they'd want to risk bad reactions by sending things out early.

RIGHT!
Ya I plan on getting two of the blushes from QQ. But I'm still looking forward to seeing some lip swatches from this, as I am a lipstick whore. And I cant really do plushglasses (burn my lips) from QQ so I want to see the gloss swatches too. And interested in seeing the nail colors ...wheee...

Though, I'm sure I'll be swayed by a lippie or a nail lacquer.

yeah it seems like most bloggers are getting the collections a week in advance now. or perhaps they do get them before that but they're not allowed to show anything until a week or so before it launches.

^^ Thanks for your opinions, ladies! That's what I was thinking too, but I was hoping otherwise lol. I need to budget!!!

So I really thought I could skip the lip products from this collection, but after seeing swatches, I feel like I need them!

I like the looks (and the name) of Pink Cult - that's the only maybe for me. I hope it has a nice texture.

OK, I started out thinking that I'd skip WW and get a big haul from this. Then I bought 5 things from WW and figured I was in trouble. I'm now down to two things I want from this collection- Pink Cult and Riveting Rose. I kind of wish that they'd done the shadows as MES- White with silver, black with copper, etc. THAT would have gotten me excited. Now they're just plain colours with a bit of overspray.

maybe wait for the swatches and the two things left on your list you might not like so much? or is that just wishful thinking?!

Pink Cult is coming home with me. Hopefully this collection and QC don't launch in the uk at the same time ( who am i kidding?) so I can spread the cost of 4 blushes and items from QC I want.

MES, like the ones from Style Black, black with copper sparkle..

I want only Pink Cult for sure from this collection. I'm curious to see how the nail polishes are, that dark colour might be wonderful, but otherwise nothing interests me.

Crap. I keep forgetting the damn nail polishes! Those sounded good too...

the polishes sound good but i am always disspaointed when i buy a mac nail polish so i shall even be skipping those

I got my hands on Indigo Pink and I am positively surprised. Very little pearl if any at all. It's almost cream, and I love the colour. But I still hate the sticky fealing of lipglass though.

I know what you mean, I used to hate Mac polishes with a passion. Last year I tried them again (Blue India being the first actually) after the dirty breakup I had with them, and I have to say something has happened with the formula, it's much better.

^^I agree they changed big time from a couple a years ago. But from time to time there is still a dud. Can't exactly remember when Malibu Peach came out but the color was pretty but it was so streaky. It went back. I really tried to work with it but it was a no go.

oh yes i remember the peach one! streak city baby!

 

[singer82]

hmmm the more swatches I see I might not get anything.

Which is crazy cause I was excited about this one. I want to get Docile but its still on the site so I can prob get it whenever. Nothing is jumping out at me. Still want to see nail swaches but everything else is disappointing. I had high hopes for Acid Washed l/s. I love these kind of colors, but I have enough colors like it. Pink Cult looks pretty but I'm planning on getting two of the blushes from CC.

I'll wait till we get reviews and swatches to make my final call, but for now it looks like a skip.

The concept sounds like it could've been a cool collection, should have jacked it up a notch or two MAC.

i agree!

Considering the damage WW and Peacocky did to my wallet, you'd think I would put myself on a no buy for this and start saving for QQ. But the white lippie is appealing.
