MAC X Giambattista Valli Collection (July 2 / 9, 2015)

Another view of Marg.. not a stitch of makeup and no lip liner. I think it works better for me as a center color than an all over color. r

Beautiful!

 

[NaomiH]

LOVE it on you!!! Super pretty. I'm very glad I got 2 now

Thank you Miss Elegant! :kiss:

All the lipsticks are still in stock on the Bay website. Free shipping over $29 on cosmetics, better than MAC Canada

Unfortunately, unless you have a Bay card it is still 5$ something for shipping ( still better than Mac today though). Over 90$ is free. Bianca B can still be ordered, but at this point they are pulling stock from the actual counters, so if you order you will be told that they may not be able to fulfill it. That said, I am SO happy to have another option. I placed an order last night when GV launched, and it shipped this morning, so that's great!

My Nordies order is slated to arrive next Wednesday. Fingers crossed nothing goes wrong! I'll worry til they arrive here safe and sound.

I wish people would stop buying from these resellers. No matter how much I like a lipstick (or any other product), I will never as a matter of principle pay above retail for it. Whether it be designer handbags or LE makeup items, these resellers are greedy and nasty as hell.

I really, really hope MAC simplifies their website; I was looking for lip liners from the permanent collection and it was such a pain in the ass to find the colors I wanted. I won't be buying from the MAC site unless I absolutely have to.

It took me an hour to place my order this morning. I got all five because I love the pretty packaging. I will end up switching lipsticks once I've finished a tube (if I can..I have way too many:shock: ). I wish I would've caught the Nordstrom launch...this new site is just awful. I'm so sorry some of you ladies weren't able to get what you wanted. Also, to all the ladies sharing pictures (@montREALady  @NaomiH @KGeezy @VixenwithFixens) you all look amazing! Thanks for posting! :bouquet:  

Thanks girl!

Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in! Hubs AKA the enabler, headed out early using the excuse he was getting coffee and comes home with Tats, Eugenie, Margherita and the gloss. He was first in line at Dillard's. He told me I needed them in my collection, lol :haha:

I've said it before and I'll say it again, your husband is the shit!

 

[NaomiH]

Eugenie

Gorgeous!

 

[NaomiH]

:haha: LMAO at that one! He really does get us! He understands the struggle, lol. I don't know exactly when it happened, but I've said it before...I created a makeup monster with that man. He'll walk out of sephora with his forearm full of swatches to come home and show me the "new" colors, lol. Damn, they've even offered him jobs at both mac and Sephora

Credit to the Youtuber! She does lip swatches for all the colors. Great review! https://youtu.be/67HjQ0eJTko For those who don't have time to view the video, here are some screen shots i snapped from the youtubers video... Tats:

Charlotte:

Eugenie:

Good lord she's gorgeous!

 

[montREALady]

Chalk :haha: Isn't that the shade she's wearing in the promo?

Yup, and the only color I wanted :eyelove: Looks like it wasn't applied with a heavy hand on her. I think that's the key. It looks muted out.

 

[NaomiH]

Tried tats and I really like it...may be BU worthy

Lovely!

 

[montREALady]

is nordstrom going to launch the lipsticks from this collection?

Yup, they did around 3:05am ET this morning and in stores later.

Girl, you know I did. It's red! :lol: I can swatch them in the morning for you so I have good light. You look fab in Margherita by the way.

Thanks on both! :frenz:

That's okay. Yes, I'm definitely going to break out Dark Room soon! Thanks again for your helpful swatches! How did I NOT know that Macy's Herald Sq had more than one MAC counter!?! This is important information!! lol This trick said she has 5 more orders coming in! It is not that serious though. She needs to be a government spy or something man. Use those stalking and grabbing skills for some profitable use for the greater good lol. I LOVE Tats on you girlie!!! I'm saying!!!! Ahhhhh I LOVE the first one. I can't wait to get mine so I can play. I hope I can make it as smexy as these other ladies!!

They sure do have 2 counters. For many many years. Even before I moved here which is going on 9 years. It even got a makeover. Hehe. It's super quiet up there and smaller.

I didn't get Eugenie, wondering if I'll regret it.

I ended up picking up all 5 lippies and the gloss. I originally went in to buy just 2.

 

[NaomiH]

Chalk :haha: Isn't that the shade she's wearing in the promo?

It is, but I think they applied it lightly on her, that lippy comes out straight white/pink when you put it on and it does look like chalk. Lol

 

[montREALady]

Tats is lovely, but bright pinks are popping up in mattes with some regularity these days. If you can't find it, you probably can get relatively close.

You're right and that makes me feel better. There's always a good dupe around the corner. I think I'll just miss the pretty packaging.

That's why I didn't get it. I have a gazillion pinks that are similar from MAC to Avon and Wet n Wild. It is very pretty though, got it for my sis. I decided on Bianca B because she was unique to my collection and I wanted something from the collection. Margherita was 2nd and I'm actually glad I got her too.

 

[NaomiH]

ok last one ! here's Charlotte

Lovely!

 

[Melrose]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, your husband is the shit!

Lol, thanks girly! ️ He lives for the thrill of the makeup hunt!!!

 

[montREALady]

I didn't get Eugenie, wondering if I'll regret it. 

Ditto! I have to keep telling myself I have similar shades in my collection.
