MAC Retro Matte collection (September 12, 2013)

Thanks for posting. The light appears lighter for Fashion Boost...so maybe they're actually pretty similar?

Just played to compare Heroine to Fashion Boost (pics from temptalia.com):

Fashion Boost: Heroine:

Runway Hit is growing on me...

I'm into it! It reminds me of Sweet & Sour which I love.

I kind of want everything except FOD.

I'm being drawn in by Runway Hit and Relentlessly Red. BIG TIME! These will be mine for sure.

Do you know when this is out in the UK? Thx.

Hmmm... I just live-chatted MAC UK, and the person on the other end said that only the purple lip pencil will be LE. As this agrees (I believe) with what Erine says, I'm feeling optimistic again. I have a bunch of holiday makeup that I 'have' to buy, and it'd be good if I could put off buying these for a couple of months.

I got to see this collection yesterday in person. I'm in love. My favorites were Flat out Faboulous, Dangerous, Fixed on Drama, and Fashion Boost lipliner.
Also I asked the artist if the collection is permanent and she said yes, now I come online and see people claiming some things are LE so I'm just completely confused.

I really pray/hope/wish/dream that is all permanent, it would be an awesome move by MAC. But then again they LOVE the LE hype...

Seems like I'm in the minority but I think T's and Karen's websites are super helpful. I live 3.5 h away (7h return) from the nearest MAC store (because for some reason 99.99% of MAC stores are in Paris so the rest of us can just go f**** themselves 

; sorry to be rude but it's just SO annoying, the rare counters in the French equivalents of Nordies and the like are... you guessed it, in Paris as well 

) so I can never swatch or see anything for myself and good thing you guys and them are here otherwise I'd have to blindly order from MAC. Sure there are things that could be improved (although you can never please everyone no matter the hours you put in), but still  I'm happy they're here 

Stupid question : have there been PLW lip liners before, and if so are they really longer-wearing (is that a word ? ) than regular ones or are they like the new PP, same staying power and formula but more expensive price because of the PLW mention ?

PLW LP have been around for well over a year now, and they indeed stay on, and don't transfer!

I dunno, it doesn't look at all patchy to me :dunno: The only items I want from this collection are FOD and FOF. The lighter colours are unlikely to do me any favours (light + matte = fail) and the rest aren't anything to write home about. Comparison swatches might change my mind though.

No patchiness to me either :nope:

:nods:

Should we start bombarding mac CS w/questions? lol.....FOD was one of the two lipsticks I was most excited about and my heart will be crushed if in fact it turns out to be LE 

:nope: There's no need.

Again, all the lipsticks are perm, all but one lipliner are perm.

Does anyone thing that Runway Hit will be a decent nude color for NC44? It does seem light but do you think it will work with a lip liner? Or maybe just in the center of the lip for an ombre type lip? I love the color

Girl, a lot of folk are pondering that right now. I am leaning toward buying and using with a darker liner, and I am NC50.

Going to swatch everything tonight, if the testers are in!

Yay! ompom:

 

[MACkilledme]

Thanks Erine You're so lucky to get to swatch everything tonight

Maybe after that you'll be able to help me : is there one in this bunch that could be used (I mean without altering the color) with Party Parrot, one with Pink Pingeon and/or Insanely It and one with Daddy's Little Girl? I'm having trouble with these colors
