MAC Moody Blooms Collection (June 26, 2014)

[mousygiggles]

I can't wait for this to release so I can grab my 2 fluidlines, and 1 (maybe 2) Sheen Supreme(s) and then take a break for a bit. July and August are slow as far as we know right now and my wallet needs that!

if not already..

+1.

For the people that own previous releases of Deep Fixation and/or Artistic License.... How do you prefer to wear these? What are other shadows you like to pair with either of these? I'm iffy about B2M for these. Do I want to step slightly out of my comfort zone and B2M for these? Do I want to save my B2M to get some of the neutral Artificially Wild eyeshadows that are more my style? I don't know what to do!!

I posted a bit to early today, I saw this collection at Temptalia and it was nothing for me. I had hope for that lipstick in bronzed plum, but..

Yeah, I am debating that color too. It's more of a sheer bronze, not really plum to me. Is anyone getting Venomous Violet? I keep trying to tell myself I don't need it.

Debating it, but the swatches aren't great. May wait to swatch in store. (Who am i kidding, it goes up online I am buying)

Venomous Violet is a beautiful colour, but reminds me of TTT which was a patchy nightmare.

Sorry I can't help you I don't have either but T named AL one of the most unique products in the collection and EVERYONE raves about DF.

These are the only two things I am getting from MB. I don't think you'll need to rush with AL but grab up DF.

There will be others - I'm not going to try to snag one. Too many hassles and question marks about it to skip trying before buying for me!

DF is a neutral color, although a little more on the smokey side. It's not super dark - just medium, plus it blends out really well. I found AL more common looking and it's a skip for me. I'd say just split the difference and get DF and one from Artificially Wild with your B2Ms.

Trying to catch up with all the new posts! I'm on the fluidline and WW trains! I'll just grab a few shadows too

This is what I've got on hold:

Black Ivy x2
Nightshade
Copperthorne (I may pass on it, but I know I'll have fun wearing it a few times, so I might still get it)
Moody Bloom x2
Lust Extract
Phosphorescent
Green Room
Blooming Mad (I like it so much better than S&R - it's a bit deeper, and smoother, less frosty but more duo-chrome-y)
Hidden Motive (lighter and redder than Fig.1 plus with an awesome blue-grey sheen in it)

Can you tell I'm into this collection??

I was super tempted by Bred for Beauty, because it's got a great texture, along the lines of Cheeky Bugger, but I already have a few hot pink blushes, so I can't really justify it. If you've never broken down and bought a blush in this shade, you couldn't have a better introduction, though!

Her photos didn't do it justice - honestly, it's so much better live and on the lips, but it's definitely sheer.

When you're wearing it, you will see plum and a little red and gold along with the bronze, depending on how the light hits it - it's seriously multi-chrome. It might be so-so on fair NWs because of all the bronze, which is quite warm, and it also may be better on fuller lips, so that there's more surface area to show off the effect, but overall, it's so unusual!! I can't wait to bring it home.

I was always a little iffy on the darker SS shades anyway….I think it's very safe to say there will be something similar in the fall that you won't have to guess about before buying. Money saved!

I'm not planning on getting it either, or any of the SS either, just think it's a shame it looks so awful in pics we've seen so far.

Nice list Liba! I'm thinking I'm just getting the blushes (have 0 hot pinks) and that's that.

Is anyone skipping the fluid lines? .....I'm not impressed

I am! I was going to get BI, but I decided to just stick to the blushes.

Why did you decide to skip it?

It's honestly the most all-around high quality and beautiful f/l since Dark Diversion. It's amazingly beautiful. I don't think a single person will be disappointed with it, no matter what random bloggers say online.

I just don't think I'll use it all that often since I very rarely use coloured liners outside of black or real neutral coloured ones. I might get it if I see it in person and go mad for it, but right now I've put it in the skip pile.

 

[Ana A]

I just don't find them unique enough, and copperthorn sounds like a lot of work....would rather get a head start with some of the perm lippies coming out in the fall collections

Thanks! I'm leaning towards DF over AL. Seems more my style.

I'm leaning towards DF over AL so that's what I might end up doing! Thanks!!
