MAC x Proenza Schouler (April 24, 2014)

[DILLIGAF]

I'm going to keep reading to see how it all ends...

lol I'm referring to this as either Blushgate or Proenzagate from now on.

primrose this lippie feels great on the lips it actually feels more like a lipgloss I'm saving it for fall it feels like a gel lipstick if that makes any sense

:bigthumb: I love the pink blush so much, I ordered a BU also. I think Mangrove is gorgeous too Happy you loved what you got.

It was for me too. I did a couple swipes with my 187 brush and my cheeks were so pink I had to tone it down with my foundation brush. It is beautiful though, a really nice natural flush. I think it will be my go-to blush. I like it so much I ordered a backup from Nordstrom. And regarding pigmentation issues, I would say you definitely have to use a brush. When I swiped both Ocean City and Sunset Beach with my fingers I got barely anything but with a brush they are very pigmented. Mangrove is gorgeous too. I ordered the other lipsticks from Nordstrom and they won't be here until Monday. 

SB is simply amazing for porcelain beauties as it turns out more rose than uber pink especially as you can control th color. Love pure.

This thread has just exploded.  I came on here for a minute yesterday - 500 posts.  Today another 400.  Well, I gathered that there was some mix up with the blushes and people that wanted Ocean City got the pink one.  It is funny because the last thing I remember reading was someone saying it was nice to have a smooth launch.  Ooops I guess that was spoken too soon.  Anyway, anyone fretting over Ocean City, maybe you shouldn't.  I finally tried it this morning and it definitely didn't float my boat.  I swiped the blush back and forth against the two colors and it was just ho hum.  Maybe if I just try the colors on their own, I'll change my mind.  In the morning light, my Ocean City lightest color looked almost tan in the pan.  So weird.  I still have yet to try the pink blush but that was just a why not purchase.  Ocean City is no Ripe Peach.  Too bad but here's hoping Mac will rerelease Ripe Peach one day.

Hi I ordered the pink and got the orange Still waiting for them to sort this

Still reading, but I have to comment on this T stuff- I'm not sure she claimed that her grades and opinions are scientific. She likes what she likes and doesn't like what she doesn't like. Her reviews are subjective by nature. It is what it is. Personally, I love her, but I'm sure others don't. But all bloggers are giving their opinions. It's really that simple. Until I see a dark-skinned chick put in the work she does, she'll continue to be my go-to. As for these sites that bash people, I don't even waste my precious time reading those things. Nothing worse than an e-thug. They never pop off like that to someone's face because it would get split open, so they hide behind keyboards. Pathetic.

Well said! I once got trolled on my Instagram. Did it stop me putting up pics of my makeup work? Hell nooooo!

I was worried SB would be too bright for my NC20 skin but apparently I have nothing to worry about

 

[Ajigglin]

Finally finished reading! That was serious. [@]AutumnMoon[/@], I like your work, especially the one that reminds me of Where the Wild Things Are. I wish I had artistic skills.

Nor should it. These people need Jesus. The block function is a beautiful thing. If you don't agree with someone's opinion on something, say so and keep it moving! I just don't get why people struggle with this concept.

well so far, my Nordies sent me the correct blush. Just waiting on my lipsticks.

DILLIGAF, I have ordered from MAC , but after reading all the bad news abt wrong product received, I fear that may happen to me. So I grabbed two today from mall. If the box from MAC arrives with no issue (next week), I should be having extra and can send you one...if it happens to be same case-wrong product, then I can't help. So, I wish you luck...

I love how the shade has tone which I can play around with, it is peachy coral on me, really nice color for summer. Because of all those incidents, I opened them after purchase to make sure I have the right one. Only to find out one of them has finger print everywhere on casing , then a swap on powder can be seen. I quickily went back for replacement. This is actually 2nd incident after playland collection , although the lipstick doesn't look like touched or used, but it has a lipstick stain on label, while the lipstick is upside down compared to how they normally boxed....hmmmm

 

[hippychic823]

Wow. It's been about a week since I've been on here so I've been catching up...reading all the posts on Proenzagate....sooooo bummed out for all you beauties who got wrong blushes/wobbly lippies/boxes of bugs (shudders while typing that )......was having a huuuuge case of skippers remorse so I stayed off this thread and just came back to look at swatches and read the Proenzagate stories...and kinda makes me glad I skipped this one....

YES! On my lips it is opaque. Perhaps a touch less than hoop, since hoop really performs as a matte in terms of total coverage in one swipe, but pink fringe is definitely opaque. It can be applied sheerer though and built up which is quite nice if you don't want the full effect. There is a very slight touch of frost (barely there) now that you mention it, but I don't really find that it is evident on the lips. It is VERY slight and I probably wouldn't have even noticed it (at least in this lighting). It is really gorgeous, and you made a good call getting 4!

You much be so excited for your haul! YAY!

I ended up getting WAY to much! I definitely backed up red balloon many times over, along with sweet experience. Those were the winners for me! I seriously have to go on a lipstick hiatus for awhile---but I am so so happy with my new loves.

Cannot wait to see your haul and hear your thoughts!

Edit: Just did a comparison swipe. Pink Fringe is definitely sheerer than Hoop, but it is easily built up. And don't worry, you are going to love it anyway!

Excellent- it sounds like my beloved Strayin' from Hello Kitty- I built it up to be Opaque but it needed a few swipes. Thanks for the comparison swipe!!

I just painted my nails with Chanel Fracas and think it will be nice with PF!

RB and SE are the two I have the highest hopes for, and I hope TA doesn't look anything like Ablaze

I will report back with my Haul and thoughts in about 2 weeks! I have been on a spree lately

I'm pretty sure I'm skipping the Aqua collection though and I hope I'll be safe after Pedro/Sharon and Kelly....but Summer collections are always so gorgeous

so funny

I agree.

Yup, it's her opinion and I think we can form our own and choose how much it influences us. I think it’s a great resource. I look at Temptalia, Karen @ MBB, Weekend Ramblings and Bugs Beauty and I'm glad for the work they do as I can't go out and swatch the majority of the makeup items myself.

That looks really pretty on you. :eyelove:

 

[lipstickaddict]

Thanks for your thoughts - I had a feeling it was not quite as Opaque as a Satin would normally be so I will need to swipe it a few times. Glad you are using it with the lipglass and loving the combo!

Thanks- I just hope they are all of the same quality, it would be a shame if there was a discrepancy!

Ah yes Fracas! Love that one! Will have to try it with PF tomorrow! Am waiting for the Chanel summer collection to hit counters here- there are some lovely new nail polishes I have my eye on

Personally, TA pulled very orange on me and although it looks fabulous on other people, it wasn't a favorite of mine. HGL is lovely though!
I'm skipping Aqua too, although that turquoise makeup bag looks like a beauty..

I wore PF shopping with a girlfriend this evening and it is surprising how the color changes in different lighting--in one store I had seriously neon pink lips! LOL! I saw myself in the mirror and was like Woah! Was definitely the lighting haha....I do adore this lipstick!

Summer collections are my downfall too! Have fun with your new goodies!

I wish the UK would get this collection soon, it feels like I've been waiting absolutely ages for it.
