MAC Playland Collection - April 7, 2014

[Kristin Bacon]

Thanku!!! will look for that. I will have to order it!!! Why oh why am i such an addict??

Skipper's remorse is worse than buyer's remorse in my personal experience.

I used to think that way too. Now it's the opposite for me, knowing I wasted money on something feels way worse to me than having missed out on an item. A lot of products are dupebale or other brands have similar ones that are even better, or MAC is about to release something better in an upcoming collection anyway.

Been reading up reviews and this formula sounds awesome. Crap guess it is more expensive. Luckally a lot of what Illamasqua puts out turns out perm. So you can take your time

Damn...I saw the swatch of Red Balloon and thought "eh, I can skip that one" but you had to go and post this beauty!!  I've never tried Illamasqua's lipsticks (though I've had my eye on one I think is called Growl for about a year now), but I might have to get this one.  Stop enabling me for more expensive brands!!! lol

 

[Kristin Bacon]

what im wondering is why on the sephora website they are out of more Illamasqua then whats in stock. I hope they dont get rid of it

 

[Kristin Bacon]

Its just the blushes and lipsticks

Id imagine it just sells a lot online cause not many Sephoras carry Illamasqua in store. Well, the ones ive seen. And collections usually come out on the official site first.

[KGeezy]

my low buy is still intact. all i need are the toying around and live it up swatches

 

[Addict4MAC]

I missed Moxie so I'm definitely picking up Red Balloon.

So here it is Red Balloon swatched against Quick sizzle, Moxie, and Girl about town


from top to bottom:
GAT
Moxie
Red Ballon
Quick Sizzle




Thank you sooooooooooooo much

Red Balloon is stunning

Thank you! I see subtle differences between RB and both Moxie and QS so I will have to fork out for RB. All the lippies remain on my list, only SE is a maybe the rest are MUST haves!

I'm still only looking at the lipglasses. I LOVE milky colours!

 

[LiliV]

Def Toying Around and Red Balloon for me so far!

 

[AutumnMoon]

So excited! I'm going to buy so many lipsticks

 

[Kristin Bacon]

So excited! I'm going to buy so many lipsticks

[Kristin Bacon]

[alyxo]

Wow. I have missed so much on this thread. Those lipsticks are sexy. Toying Around is going to be mine. Excited for swatches

[Rebellefleur]

I at least have 1 B2M for this collection..but believe me I need more! Im crazy for colours like this. red ballon x2 for me for sure!

 

[MissTania]

I know right? It also resembles Party Parrot a bit---cannot wait for more info

I did pick up Pleasurefruit---LOVE it! Unfortunately, I gave my only back up to a good girlfriend who missed out

....ACK! Haha, oh well. It is a gorgeous one--good for you for stocking up!
Can't remember if we have discussed this already, but did you pick up Chanel Fouguese with the Spring collection? It's being made permanent, so if you haven't checked it out, you should sometime!
I caved and bought SN! Really excited to try this one out! Thanks again for all of your help!

I hope she is treating it right lol!!

I did buy Fougy, and it is a stunning colour and I am very glad it is permanent. I wore it out once, but it didn't seem to stay vibrant for long- I need to give it a second chance because it was breathtaking in the tube. I just didn't find it as long lasting as Exaltee for example (I'm guessing you have this one too lol?!) Thanks for reminding me of it!!

Let me know what you think of SN!

I love the Red Balloon swatch, I'm getting at least one

Maximum 2 (that's my idea of reasonable lol!)

So here are swatches, I must say I am head over heels in love with both of them.

Red balloon on the left (does not look like Moxie to me its a true super bright fuchsia so much more beautiful in person than in the pic) head in the clouds on the right (sooo extremely surprised by this one its got this awesome glitter and its a bit sheer but I like that about it super pretty in person) sorry I didn't do better swatches but I'm crazy busy today I'll try and swatch next to moxie and GAT tomorrow.

Wow - I'm surprised, but I really like Head in the Clouds. Hm...I have five MAC empties (props to Erine who told me that plastic lip/eyeliners can be BTM'd) and am just about to finish another CSG. If this is sheer and and not too frosty, I'm all over it.
