I wasn't even considering getting anything from this collection, but if Inez Lipstick really looks like the swatches Temptalia posted, OMG! Anybody else who has seen the lipstick, does it really look that gorgeous??

Does Felicienne have a silver frost finish? If so, I am gonna pull the trigger on it. The others look too metallic except Inez, but I don't want another golden plum color. The special packaging is really calling me, I wish these lipsticks were not so metallic, but I guess it is the theme of the collection so I can't complain too much! Esp. since it means I could skip the rest of the lippies and ALMOST have enough left over to afford a brush!

Temptalia has just posted the lipstick swatches: http://www.temptalia.com/mac-marcel-wanders-2-lipsticks-review-photos-swatches I actually really like Inez, although I didn't think I would. Might just pick that one up, despite the price.
Inez looks great and I am really tempted, but just today I got a lipstick that looks much much much darker on me than on T and I feel like I can not use her swatches for me. So Inez, I am really sorry, but I am sure you look great. Maybe once I see some other peoples swatches.

Lol, you're funny. :)

Allura posted the swatches too and her pictures are a lot darker and I'm not that crazy about Inez in her pictures. Hmm.

She also has swatches of the glosses: www.allurabeauty.com/2012/review-swatches-mac-marcel-wanders-lipglasses I like Kim.

So Inez, I am really sorry, but I am sure you look great. Maybe once I see some other peoples swatches.

I tried, but the lipsticks and glosses from this collection aren't for me. That's okay, seeing as I am not done hauling Shop/Cook and I need Reel Sexy money too.

It really depends how the light hits it, but it's a gorgeous finish. I'm not a fan of MAC's frost finish, but the MW2 formula is very different. These are very wearable everyday shades, especially if you pad down the l/s and apply an extra layer only in the center. It gives an awesome 3D effect. If you can, try it out in store to make the right decision.

Ok I wasn't going to get much, if anything from this collection but I'm loving the lipsticks! Mac-Guy (or anyone that has played with the products): How does Whirls & Twirls compare to Felicienne? W&T is my HG :( I am always looking for similar colors. I only got one tube of it and I won't use it because I don't want it to leave me (abandonment issues? Lol) I think I also want Inez.. And maybe the mystery powder... What is the mystery powder really used for? I suppose $60 isn't bad considering the refill and the lovely compact. The glosses are a skip for me. I seriously own so many after Glitter & Ice.

I am in LOVE with all of the lipsticks! Initially I thought I only wanted Annelie and Inez, but now after seeing swatches I definitely want Annemiek and Felicienne as well. I guess it's all four lipsticks for me then. I can't help myself... I just think metallic frosts are ridiculously gorgeous- they are one of my weaknesses!.

I am still going back and forth with the lipglosses. Jana and Julia seem basically sheer with just shimmer, although Jana still is a little appealing. Karin and Kim are very tempting though. Which out of the four lipglosses seems the most special/unique if I were to only get one to start?

I love the lipsticks! I have a new found love for bright lippes dont get wrong but these kind of colors are my first love. I want them all! But for now I want Inez (wow this one is gorgeous!) and Felicienne. Mac-Guy you wernt kidding about the finish! They look amazing.
I love Karin lipgloss but is it dupable?

Oh, but Inez still has this amazing shimmer in both swatches. I wish I could swatch them for myself, but they are not even online. So, will you get Inez after all? :)

HeeHee... YES! Yesterday. I ended up changing my order a little with the lippies. I have W&T and SS from G&I, so until I could compare I just got Inez l/s.
Jana & Karin glosses and the brush!

Didn't get the mystery powder yet... wanted to hear some reviews first.


Pixie, did you eventually press submit?

Inez will look fantastic on you.

Re the mystery powder: I'm not sure there will be many reviews as the powder itself is a repromote. You might want to do a little search on previous reviews. I use it as a translucent setting powder. Or were you looking for a review on the design?

Nice haul girl! Inex is a beauty. Wish I could afford that brush.
I was comparing SS two of the lippies from the swatches and SS looks a lot more brown to me

Mostly design reviews. Not sure if I need a bulky powder compact. But at the pricepoint, I'd want it to be substantial enough to warrant the purchase. So, I'm sure either way it went I could talk myself out of it. I'm not a collector of compacts, and I'm not sure I would love the powder itself enough to get it. I was going to hold off and see if it sneeks into my cart... My MAC cart is very naughty that way! HeeHee

I'm so glad you think I'll like Inez! It looks gorgeous and unique! I'm looking forward to trying her out!!
