I hate to be a party pooper, but as I said before I had already identified these awhile ago.... I agree totally with Liba. DO NOT rush online and buy..these are complicated shades to use and wear.

In my personal stash I have the cremeblend.. I will post pic of it now. If you are over an NC15, this will be ashy on you or not show up at all. I really did not even think this would be used in any collection.. it's just a glorified concealer colour -- pinky peach but meh and blah. On lips, it will blot you out. On cheeks, it will hardly show up at all. it's dark now.. but hell, this is still ugly to the bone.




again I use the white of a paper towel which is a blue white.. this will hardly show on anyone level 2.0 or above.

Um, is this supposed to be the Hi Jinks casual color?

Maybe just Toying Around for me, we'll see. I may skip the whole thing. I have close enough dupes for Happy Go Lucky and Red Balloon.

Experience has taught me to believe the opposite of what mac chat says...

I thought this collection was going to be a big hit, kinda like the Punk Couture Collection. I guess not. It looks like the Osbourne Collection is going to be more frenzied. Hopefully there will not be a waiting room. Are most of you just going to waiit for it to come out in store instead of online? By what Liba and some others are saying, it doesn't even sound like anyone should buy it online, but only in person after a swatch. The only kicker with that, is what will still be available; that is, if is moves quicker than anticipated.

I hope this collection really launches tomorrow The last few days have been horrible for me and I really need something to cheer me up .. I really wanted to get the CC in for your amusement but seeing Karens swatch I'm not so sure I want it anymore

I personally think this is the best collection they have had in a while. I will be ordering online and I might get every lipstick (still debating Playland). I just want to know how easily Playland will layer over darker lipsticks like reds and plums. I don't think I will be getting anything else, though.

I think it has a really fun, bright element. If I recall correctly, Playland on Karen looked kind of sheer. Maybe she has heavily pigmented lips. I think that would be interesting to see how well it plays with others. I am a huge fan of layering lipsticks! :eyelove:

I'll be buying online unless the stuff I want is sold out. To go to the store conveniently, I'd have to wait until I get out of work at 8 P.M. I don't mind buying online, as I understand the risks with it when it comes to color expectations, and I like the surprises that come with it. As long as the product doesn't look atrocious on me, I don't mind stepping out of my comfort zone. The worst lipstick I've ever purchased online - that is personally not really workable - is NYX's "India." Thankfully that isn't a $16 lipstick.

Once in a blue moon you can come across a lipstick that simply doesn't work. If it doesn't, there is always someone on this thread that will take it off your hands. No harm, no foul!

After seeing swatches my list is only Red Balloon and Toying Around. I'm actually wondering if I even need Toying Around though, I might end up with just Red Balloon

 

[NaniLovesMAC]

I think my list is still the same. Toying around live it up and pure silliness I plan on layering live it up with TA, Sushi Kiss and Morange for starters. And for pure silliness I'm going to layer it over lavender whip, daddy's little girl and nightmoth l/p

 

[Mayanas]

Any opinions on how flattering TA and SE will look on NC30-35 skintones?? I can usually wear corals and oranges pretty well but I have troubles with pinks, particularly cooler toned pinks like Snob and Saint Germaine....I really like the looks of both but worry that I won't be able to wear them well and have no access to a MAC counter or store to swatch or see them in person....

im nc 30 y 35 and colors like SE, SG looks horrible on our skintone.so No no :/

 

[Jennifae]

I prefer glosses that I can wear alone, so I can definitely skip those.

Same here. I'm NC30-35, and I'm skipping SE.
