MAC A Fantasy of Flowers Collection (February 6, 2014)

[ocean286]

Ugh I so am over this collection as well. I need more pigment, even in my lustres. I thought these would be like heavy watercolors and I was so wrong.

Yeah. This collection was ok. But, not their best. I tried not to be negative about it but, I found it hard not to be. I do like the items I got though. But, I'm just not wowed by SD. However. I take back what I said about Phlox Garden. When I actually applied it to my eyes, it gave me a gorgeous pop of purple on my lids. And I LOVE Petal Power. But, yeah. We'll see what the other collections have in store. I hope, I have a better attitude about those collections. LOL.

I went to the MAC store in Schaumburg, Illinois yesterday with my fiancé. They had a model dressed just like the promo pic in all kinds of beautiful ruffles twirling around at the entrance, and my fiancé liked to had a fit. He just couldn't grasp why this woman was twirling in this huge ruffled suit...it was so hilarious! I didn't buy anything but I was just so thrilled with seeing her lol!

well said ocean.. this was not one of MAC's better collections. I only got the 2 lippies -- and they're ok, but don't blow my skirt up too much..

I meant to post this better pic of me wearing PT on my eyelids, cheekbones,bridge of nose, Cupid's bow and chin. Phlox Garden on bottom lashes, Nars Desire blush and MAC Morning Rose lipstick.

Very pretty!

Thank you so much!!!

I'm so intrigued! So are some coconut oils better/purer than others?

You give it to the GIRLS as in THE GIRLS

<----------- those girls?

Coconut oil works great as an eye makeup remover too! Most dry out my eyes terribly but the oil moisturizes at the same time.

This might be how obvious of a mac newbie I am but are there not any perm lipsticks that are lustres? My pigmented lips are loving the lustres I got in this collection... I'm even thinking about getting DD.

 

[Whitneyallison]

... thinking about naked bud too... I have altered beige from TR, Does anyone have both to compare?

I agree! Lustre is a great "staple shade" formula! It seems a LOT of my grab and go lippies are Lustres!! I never even really realized that until about a year or so ago.

Yeah, that search by formula tab is a waste! LOL I always have to scroll through and search formulas I'm looking for. They are all king of grouped together by formula though, which makes it a little easier. There are some GREAT perm Lustres! Enjoy!

I didnt realize until recently either that i had so many. i said fresh brew twice i guess i really like that one!! They are good everyday colors. Very flattering and good for smokey eye looks too!!!

what i thought was crazy is that Angel is a frost lol. it dosnt look like one to me at all. i adore Angel lipstick

Its been over a week and I'm still waiting for my replacement... I'm not sure why it's taking so long I usually get my packages in 3-4 days. I'm hoping they did process it...

My original replacement was sent as 2 day delivery. I have no idea when they sent this package as I wasn't expecting it but my return was about 9 business days before so within that time. If you call their CS they will give you a tracking number. That's what I did for first one

I was under the impression that this collection is going to be released this thursday in the UK, this is what a few people have been saying in the  UK release thread on here

It might be I don't know but I know for a fact it's being released in stores on the 6th March like all collections do on the first Thursday of the month usually when that happens they are released a week earlier online!

Caved and ordered rose lily

 

[MissTania]

Rose Lily above- very opaque for a Lustre, I love it!


Comparison swatches

Top - Real Doll (Barbie Collection)
Middle- Rose Lily
Bottom- Snob

I actually prefer Rose Lily to Real Doll which is also gorgeous but since Real Doll was made in 2006 it needs to be replaced as it does not smell great. I think Rose Lily is the closest MAC lippie to Real Doll I have ever seen.

Glad I backed up Rose Lily, it will be used alot!!
