MAC Vamplify Collection (Aug 26/ Sept 3, 2015)

[Haven]

After I placed my online order I noticed that one of the glosses is listed as "online only" in the email confirmation. Seems that MAC employees are confused about whether the pencils are perm or le. Hoping for perm!

When I ordered over the phone the rep said perm, then she said LE lol

LOL!

I saw the whole collection the other day. The formula is fabulous!!! Every single one is totally opaque and so, so, so shiny, but they don't feel sticky or thick at all. Actually they feel weightless, like you're not wearing anything. They're also all VERY bright and vibrant. Even the nudes are pretty vivid and densely pigmented. As for the colors, the nudes are realllly similar to each other, at least on my lips. It was very difficult to decide between them. The reds are very distinct from each other and one or two may look better on you than another. The purples are of course hot as hell (no surprise there), but perhaps the very best color in the whole collection is What's Going On, which is the most perfect radiant fuchsia with very obvious violet iridescent pearl. Remember the beautiful fuchsia Dare to Wear lipgloss? This is five million times better. A For Attitude is a zillion times better than Candy Yum Yum gloss too. Basically I'm going to B2M all my old red, fuchsia and pink standard lipglasses, because these are so superior. Just be aware that all these glosses are seriously in your face bright and shiny, like the brightest Patent Polishes on steroids x1000. You'll have to be determined to rock them. I do think the nudes are pretty but you might as well go for the gusto and get a bright one for the full effect. Might need to be careful when applying around the edges of the lips, since one or two seemed like they could bleed if over applied. A little goes a long way and will be fully opaque. Most don't really blot down into a stain. They just remove cleanly without any staining. I think this is a good thing, but yeah they're only for full strength wear. Not cheap, but you WILL be turning heads. These are incredibly fashion forward. They feel so great on so no pain for your fashion at all.

dominic_mua believes the pencils are perm

Thankd Ladies

These are from @ashley_rudd's instagram--she doesn't identify these as Amplify but it's definitely mac. Might be?

There is an online exclusive shade as well???

Yes, I'm curious about Oh, Honey but I want to see it in person first. How about you?

Yes definitely because I think the swatches look...well, off/different.

Which shade is online only?

 

[patentg33k]

Tuned in or hyper fabulous ??? I can't decide

For me Tuned In because from the swatches it looks like more rose. Hyper-fabulous looks more edgy.

Which shade is online only?

In the email confirmation push some buttons is denoted as online exclusive. Bizarre unless it really is online only. Wonder if others are too?
