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

[LUVISLUV]

I am said that online the lipsticks are either sold out or not on the websites at all I checked Macy's, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdales. There are only two lipsticks I wanted from this collection

What were you looking for?

What were you looking for?

Tats and Eugine

 

[montREALady]

MAC Prep and Prime lips is a must with Sushi Kiss, she's rather streaky and a bead of clear lipglass won't hurt either

I also don't like MAC's lip primer, lol. I'll try it with that though.

 

[starletta8]

Of course days after completely selling out, I start to REALLY want Eugenie. I shouldn't have passed it up at my counter, when I bought Charlotte. :'(

I'm right there with you, and then I remind myself I don't reach for darker shades that often.

10 minutes later, start the same want/reality check cycle.

I went back to my local Macy's and picked up the final Lena gloss. I can't wait to try BB with it. (Not today, since I'm wearing Charlotte!)

Yes! It's funny, I rarely reach for the darker / vampy shades. I'm super fair so I tend to really only use them at night or going out.

I went digging in my collection and found a few sort-of similar shades to sooth the desire for dark colors... for now.

I have to catch up on this thread I'm sooooo far behind

I'm not a big gloss person, but I can see it being super useful since it's literally one size fits all. I'll play with it tomorrow- or later, once I take Charlotte off!

:drools: I'm soooo excited I cannot stand the wait! ompom:

me too elegant I loveeeeee this collection

:rasta: oooo Lipstick, Soup and Anniversary sale!! Can the day get any better!!! :sale:  

Sounds like a blast I hope u enjoyed shopping

So how was the mac online aunch of this collection? I skipped it But I want some insight for future releases.

I can't with that site will never try to order le items from there again

Hey chicks, so the Cindy eye glaze and GBV lip glaze are totally different. The GBV is more clear with high gloss and easier to apply to the lips since it's meant for that. It has irridescence but seriously you can't tell once applied. The Cindy has glitter and is tacky since it's for the eyes. Duhh I know but I wanted to compare. A MAC girl put the GBV lip glaze on her eyes and it separated her shadow and looked bad. Just FYI. All pics are Macy's lighting without flash.

The GBV looks like it's BOOM here but it in person it looks like a regular gloss or even Vaseline on my hand. You can see little pink speckles if you look closely. Cindy has pink and blue bigger glitter with a more silver/white base. Edit: Outside pic:

Tried Eugenie without and with the glaze. Pretty but I seriously have colors like this as home and any clear gloss on top will look the same.

Without glaze

With glaze

loveeeeee it with gloss

My Bloomingdale order arrived today with Marguerita, Bouffant, and Shell Pearl. Marguerita is AMAZING! It's a bit darker then Sushi Kiss and pinker but I wouldn't call SK a perfect dupe. Reel Sexy is lighter and pinker than Marguerite. M is not in the family of Ablaze, Watch Me Simmer, Burmese Kiss, Toying Around, and Morange. Forbidden Sunrise is more orange, and Sounds Like Noise is like Margherita's orange cousin. I think that if you mix Sounds Like Noise with either Sushi Kiss or Reel Sexy you can get a Marguerite clone.  I can't wait for the rest of the lipsticks to arrived next week.

I'm happy about this I loveeeee sound like noise one of my fave

:eyelove:  My Belk order is here!! Picked up Bianca B and Eugenie from MAcys, so its all here now!!:cheer:

so pretty v Enjoy

Me wearing tats today with process magenta liner

Love

glad i didnt back up tats, i have all of those and plenty of other pinks

I wanted to bu tats too I think I should have I will see

I had the funniest thing happen today. So, I was sad yesterday for missing Margherita on nordies. Today I went there for the anniversary sale and thought I'd check to see if they had the display so I could at least swatch them. They did, so I got to swatch them all. Well, Margherita looked neon orange on my skin so that was a pass. But Charlotte looked amazing and it was instant love. I asked the SA if they actually had anything in stock and all she had was a bunch of the gloss and one Margherita. Irony. So I went and did my anniversary sale shopping and on my way out decided to go to the actual mac store in the mall. Walked up and found the display and asked the SA if they had any in stock. She said they did and went over to the drawer at the same exact time as another SA who grabbed the last Charlotte a half second before my SA. She held it up for the SA at the back of the store on the phone who was taking to someone that was asking for them to hold it. So my SA grabs it out of her hand and says "tell them we're out!!!" It was SO FUNNY. We were laughing so hard as she checked me out because the timing was so crazy. She told me I must have been meant to have this lippie. Just had to share my story! Happy to have gotten something from this collection. I'm really surprised how much I like Charlotte on me. Oh, and if anyone is still looking for Tats or Margherita, the mac store in woodfield mall in Schaumburg had a ton. I think they had one or two Eugenie left too.

i loveeee it

Not sure I like Margherita on me, it might get the ol heave ho.

i bet it looks beautful on u Naomi I hope u find a liner that makes it work

GIRL! I need this kind of organization in my life! lol!

me too

Ugh! They look so good on her, can't wait for mine.

Stunninggggg

Hey ladies so I order Eugenie from Belk and I received the package yesterday. I was so happy to open it but when I look inside....well hello Tats :shock: I call customer service but they could only refund me back my money because it's sold out. Even though I wanted Tats I'm upset that I have to now wait for restock to happened see if I can actually get Eugenie . SO BEWARE IF YOU PURCHASED FROM BELK!!!

im so sorry this happened to u

I want Tats but Macy's shipping is ridiculous. :sigh:

i wish Macy would set thier game up and stop playing

Found a lone Margherita at my Nordies earlier and couldn't help but buy it and send it to my beloved [@]Dolly Snow[/@].

so sweet I love it

They all look stunning on u

I wanted to show you guys some ideas I played around with, hope this is helpful & you can see the pictures

This is Margherita and Nyx lip liner in natural, it muted down the neon & made it very wearable & classy when dabbed in the center of your lips

This is Charlotte w/ Nyx lip liner in burgundy

This is Bianca B w/ Nyx lip liner in mauve

I love them all on u But bb on u is giving me life its stunninggggg on u

Determined to make BB work for me...first time doing the dark liner with pale lipstick. I don't have Nightmoth, so this is OCD Black Dahlia liner.

i loveeee it

I have to catch up on this thread I'm sooooo far behind

Hi hun!!!!

Enjoy your goodies!

 

[Tarabotti]

The MAC counter in Century 21 in lower Manhattan (NYC) has a few Tats and Margaritas (probably spelled wrong,typing on the phone) in stock. Everything else is sold out.

 

[shizzelly]

Bianca B with In Synch L/L. And my Eugenie will be here from Nordstrom on Tuesday!

 

[Mayanas]

My 3 Lippies will be here tomorrow

 

[elegant-one]

My 3 Lippies will be here tomorrow

 

[ohsoamazin]

I seen someone post about her before but this honestly not fair and ridiculous she had 32 Bianca B at first and then have an extra 28 coming in...that's 60 lipsticks of one color!!! Then have the nerve to sell it for $40. What makes me upset is that people are buying from her and with that price. Popular or not popular I couldn't give in to that...heck people were better off paying the shipping price for one. I just can't believe this smh
