MAC style seeker

[liba]

Mac does this sometimes. I picked up one of the glosses from the Liberty of London collection a couple of years ago and it was super=smooth and much less sticky than usual. I don't normally mind the texture of Mac lip glasses, but I know some do, so I thought maybe they had changed their formula slightly. All this talk about the glosses is making me wonder whether or not I want to grab one of those. I'm still interested in the Marche aux Puces duo, but less so than I was, since I feel like they're colours that are close to what I already have.

I think you would look great in Ready to Roam! It's one of the few red glosses I've encountered where you can get it all drastically wet looking, medium politely glossy, or even just a juicy stain like a lip balm, never sacrificing pigmentation. You know I'm picky about reds, especially gloss, and this one is probably the only gloss I'll get from this collection.

I'm on the fence about Marche aux Puces too, because I do have similar colors, but the textures are particularly nice - no matter what T. says.

Yup. I ordered mine from Germany last year.

Like from a German department store? Cool!

Just ordered Hidden Treasure and Dark Diversion (thanks, icecaramellatte!). That brings my haul so far to Camden Chic, Hidden Treasure, Restless, Dark Diversion. I wanted to order an eye duo, but feel that I need to swatch these in person. So mad that my MAC SA didn't call on the 13th like he said he would. Makes me feel like I want to go in the store when he is working and buy the entire collection from a different SA. He also said he would call early for Marilyn collection! I'm not going to hold mt breath! Oh, well! So far there are four less items from SS I won't be buying from him anyway!

Eh we have a free standing MAC store here as well as various dept store counters {nordies macy's} and when I checked about this collection I was told the 23rd was the release date. Do you have a pro shop? I think pro shops do release them early followed by online then freestanding stores/counters

Thanks for your swatches!
Though I freaking love this color......imo, its so sultry and yet divine

I think I saw it on ACW recently...

Thanks. I checked and it's gone now.

My local pro store (South Coast Plaza) doesn't receive this collection until the 23rd. The SA told me Vegas and LA were receiving it earlier. I guess not all pro stores are equal when it comes to new collections.

I called my local Pro store and they said they were releasing the collection on the 23rd.

Golden Sunset is very similar to Hidden Treasure!

I

La Femme blushes and Golden Sunset is especially pretty. I now have 39 of their blush colors.

I wore Magnetic Attraction MES on my lid this weekend and tried to pair it with Rich Ground fluidline. I couldn't see Rich Ground when I was applying it. The color was too similar to Magnetic Attraction to be visible. So I switched to Local Wares fluidline. I see what liba means about the extra smooth texture. I'm glad I gt a BU. It does look like Avenue in the pot, but I see the muddy green color when applied to the eye. Avenue is more brown when I wear it. Next time I need to pair Rich Ground with another color, probably a green or burgundy shadow. It looks so pretty.

I can't wait to try Local Wares with MA! Thanks for the tip

thanks for adding to my list Local Wares is sounding more amazing with each post I read!

My haul arrives Tuesday. I can't wait for my 2 new fluid lines!

Still lemming Supercontinental! I might pick up another BU of Restless l/g and add Guacamole to my cart, too.

 

[duckrodeo]

Supercontinental is coming home to me via 2nd day shipping

along with Guacamole

Can someone compare supercontinental to immortal flower? Similar at all?

I feel like Immortal Flower is brighter and peachier than Supercontinental. I'll definitely be able to do comparisons once I get it in the mail, though

I picked up Mean & Green during the Nail Lacquer collection, but I didn't know it was part of this collection as well. This is my first MAC polish and I've heard so many negative reviews about them, but I fell in love with the color and the duochrome goodness that I just had to have it. I did a full mani and pedi with it today and it took four damn coats for it to be completely opaque. My gosh, with this many coats it better not chip in a day or two! Lol. The picture is below with no flash and no filter. Ahem, excuse my ugly hands.

I'm a bit sad that Fashion Nomad looks so much like Morange and Neon Orange. I like Sail La Vie on me, but a brighter orange like Morange isn't really my thing.
After a lot of thinking about colours similar to Supercontinental I'm no wondering how it compares to Hipness.

Is here anyone who could compare Supercontinental blush and Something Special (cremeblend)? Thank you
