MAC x Marcel Wanders 2 (Spring 2012) Discussion

It's more like a dirty mauve with a semi-metallic sheen.

hmm. that sounds pretty. I think Im gonna have to swatch it, because it obviously doesn't look like what I think it looks like.

Along with getting the 4 lipsticks, I want to get one of the lipglosses: Jana lipgloss or Karin lipgloss? If Jana lightens lip color and is not just shimmer, I would like that. But if Karin has silver metallic sheen like it looks like it has, then I might need it.

They all match up with the lippies, so take your favorite lippie from this collection (or the one where you think you would benefit from a glossy coat) and get the matching counterpart.

If you have Mary from the original MW collection, Jana is pretty close though more muted but a little bit more frost. Hope that helps.

The collection is now up on the UK website, everything is in stock! Just ordered Inez lipstick.

Yay! I ordered Annelie and Felicienne

I also somehow ended up ordering Kim l/g even though I said I wouldn't. Sigh.

My dilemma is that I love the packing so I feel I must have one of the lipsticks, but I am not feeling the frost finish! I think Annamiek looks like it could make the list however...

A way to make the frost finish work is to apply it to your bottom lip only and dab down the sides. As the frost is then only showing in the center of the lip, it gives a wonderful 3D effect, whereas the rest of the lips are just a light shade of pink. It's very wearable. But as I said before, it's not the typical MAC frost finish. I wish they would have come up with a different name.

I will try that. I have so many frosts that I love the color in the tube but it is just too much over the whole lip. I get lazy about layering when I want to apply and go but this could work. I also wear more frost in the summer, so could that please hurry up and get here? We got snow again.

Try this: apply a lip balm but spare the center part of your lips. Then use a frost finish l/s. The frost will only stick to the center, whereas the rest of your lips just get slightly frosty hues. It's very effective to create dimension and contour your lips.

Annemiek is very pretty. If I put it on lightly it isn't too frosty or pale. I love the formula!!! Very soft and smooth. Inez should be delivered today- I'm excited to try it. The packaging is pretty but bulky. It's not something I'd put in my pocket and depending on the clutch, I wouldn't carry it with me on a normal basis. I wish the shape was scaled down a smidge. But whatever, the bulk doesn't matter enough not to buy it. I can't recommend this formula enough! I think combined with the packaging they are totally worth $22.50

Just got Inez. Holy crap the packaging is gorgeous! The color is so pretty, just glides right on my lips. Lovely plum color with a high gold sheen. Kinda feel like I need a toga and some gladiator sandals

Well it probably will still be available when you do have money.

Now I'm really tempted to buy the others. Hubster says it looks like a car cigarette lighter
