MAC Retro Matte collection (September 12, 2013)

[neondust]

I'm kind of disappointed in steady going I feel like it pulls more yellow then I thought it would and I also think it doesn't feel as much as "retro" matte as my ri ri woo either. My fof doesn't feel as Matte as my riri either but def isn't as creamy as the steady going. THAT matte feel is the only reason I even wanted them!

Does anyone have comparison swatches for Impassioned to All Fired Up and Relentlessly Red?

I'm not sure what to get, esp since it's unsure what's LE and what isn't. Atm I'm charmed by Runway Hit, Steady Going, FOF and Relentlessly Red or All Fired Up. Not sure about the last two since I'm a fan of pinker reds, hate corals and in some pics RR has a bit of a coral undertone. So confusing.

All Fired Up is a pretty pinked red

I don't have anything else really to compare to FOD and I'm not completely sure I like it.

FOD looks gorgeous on you!!!

Lipstics-AFU, Dangerous, FOD, FOF, RR

Great swatches!

Sorry, the sun went down, so i had to take this pic inside

Thanks, Erin. I think I might skip the liners then. They look close enough to the ones I currently own.

Dutch website classified all the lipsticks from this collection (exc for Ruby Woo) under limited edition. That's it, I'm going to the counter tomorrow and asking for clarification!

I, AFU, RR

Oh, and maybe a comparison pic between FOF and Daddy's Little Girl?

FOF, DLG

I'm wondering if it's cuz the PLW collection officially launched today? :dunno: but launching lip liners without lipsticks is just plain :silly: At least they're keeping us on our toes! Oh i forgot about their f&f sale! When is that again!?

It's either October or November and its 20% off. I have a list growing.

 

[Gatton]

Thanks Erin!!! Especially the last one makes it clear I should get FoF! Enabler, you. If it's not too much to ask, could you take another comparison pic in daylight for the reds? The warm light is making it hard to see the subtle differences

That's what sucks about taking swatches at night. If you're ok with waiting about 15hrs, i can definitely do that, no problem!

Of course it is, cuz i went today and bought 3 benefit blushes-coralista, rocketeur, and sugarbomb.

More comparisons ... and I think someone asked for comparisons to OCC Queen so that is in there too.



Far left: OCC Queen
Center top to bottom: All Fired Up, Relentlessly Red, Impassioned & Party Parrot
Far right: Coral Polyp



Just a slightly different angle to deflect the sheen ...

Still wearing FOD with Shock Value...ate and drank all kinds of crap and still looks freshly applied. I pray they extend this finish even more.

Thought you guys may be interested in seeing three of the lippies on a WOC for reference. I ordered: Flat Out Fabulous All Fired Up Fixed On Drama FOD is my least favorite. All Fired Up does remind me of Party Parrot but its different enough to keep. PaPa has more of a neon tone to it. Flat Out Fabulous is just that...reminds me of a matte GAT, however, I'm sure it's different enough. Lol.. Hope it helps!

Like bring out some actual fall colours besides FOD! Something along the lines of a brown, a deep purple, plum, dark red, true nude, mauve...

 

[Richelle83]

Hope it helps!

Well aren't you pretty! I love all three on you.

Definitely add this here too, please. http://www.specktra.net/t/184846/mac-retro-matte-september-2013

Werd! And not just remakes of the perm line, even though I'd buy them all lol.

I love wearing bright lips all year long, but it would be nice if they had deeper shades in this formula. The color range is pretty limited here. Maybe they'll add on.
