MAC A Fantasy of Flowers Collection (February 6, 2014)

[linainoz]

International release date is in March

That doesn't mean it will be released everywhere, unfortunately. We miss out on quite a few collections each year

I live in Canada so there's no Macy, Nordies (yet! 2 more years, ugh) or Bloomingdales here! There isn't a MAC close by since I'm stranded practically in the middle of nowhere. The only thing I can think of is to try the counter @ Sears, but they've had me shit outta luck the past couple of times.

Aw that sucks!! Maybe someone can do a cp for you

the only country being left out according to press release is Japan, so maybe you will get it and if not there's always ebay...

Girrrrl I'm having the same temptation over here.  The struggle is real!!  I want my Lily White piggie soooo badly, but I know I'll have it in my hands faster if I just go to the store in 3 days, so I must resist!

I completely understand! I don't know how the roads here will be when they realease, so I figured I'd get what I know I will like. Snap dragon and heavenly hybrid sold out so fast before so I jumped on it this time. I will check out the blushes and other pigments in store when the mood hits me lol.

here are my HH and SD swatches. On NC 42: no flash flash   SD HH

So pretty! I hope they look this good on me :-D

Thanks so much for the detailed review Liba! I will definitely have to check out DD since it is in the color family I can wear with ease (and LOVE). Reel Sexy is hands down my favorite of the creamsicle/orange shades Mac has been putting out in the past few years. I prefer it to Sushi Kiss because it is softer, but I also have to blot, so DD will likely be right up my alley. Thanks again!

Reel Sexy is so great! It's hard for me to pick a favorite between Reel Sexy, Sushi Kiss and Sweet & Sour - those have been my pastel creamsicle (I love your description of that type of color) triumvirate since they came out. Now there are Fd'C, which is the easy to apply lustre version of S&S and DD, the easy to deal with and gentler SK! Even though you could consider them quite near dupes in color, that texture is so great and dispenses with the need to pat the colors on and that just made me cave. I will use these two the most out of this collection, probably!

...really??? I was so much hoping for a cool toned pink

Uh, yeah. If AitA reads as warm, peachy pink pink on me, I throw in the towel! This collection will be a total skip for moi.

 

[purplevines]

What?!? How did I not know that lol. Thank you!

Hmm...I haven't been able to order MAC through Nordies.  Says it doesn't ship internationally right on the product pages at least  

But they don't usually ship makeup to Canada

Not cosmetics though!

Oh sorry, I haven't ordered cosmetics from there! I did just watch a haul on YouTube where a girl in Canada got the nars final cut collection shipped to her by nordies ... So maybe certain brands don't work? Makes little sense for Mac not to work though....

Got my order and I'm so disappointed in stereo rose. It looks ashy and way too pale on me. I like PT tho, great subtle highlight.

 

[Fancieland]

Anybody know if you are going to be able to back 2 Mac for any of the lippies???? Save me some $$$$!!!!

Yes! Call your store to verify! I ended up ordering my lippies anyway just in case they sold out first but I called my local store and they said as long as it's not special packaging I can b2m. I have enough for 2 empties so I'll hauling my butt to MAC Thursday morning lol. Hopefully I don't like the lippies too much so I can skip backups or new picks and put my SD and HH in the clearance bin for those who missed out

 

[lipstickjunkie]

My stuff comes today finalllyyy :cheer:

 

[MACina]

Thank you for the brushes tip! I will see how it works with one of those. I can't remember offhand if I have the 188 or not. I have gotten quite a few face brushes over the past 9 months or so from my CCO, and I can never remember the numbers.

I'm sure both look amazing on you! From the few pictures I have seen that you post, you can rock just about anything I think!

I'm not afraid of colored liners at all. That's what I prefer, actually! But I know neither color will work for me. That shade of green simply does not work on me, and I know that purple is too warm toned for me. When I say I can wear light green, I mean a greener version of Chartreuse Bouquet pigment (aka less yellow than that).

I was bummed with the swatches at first, but now I'm fine with the fluidlines not working for me anyway (still miffed about the mineralized stuff, blah). I have more than enough eyeliners and fluidlines as is. I do not want to waste what I do have. Plus-- Money saved for other things I need/want.

Uh, yeah. If AitA reads as warm, peachy pink pink on me, I throw in the towel! This collection will be a total skip for moi.

As others have stated, these lipsticks look good on you. What MAC shade are you, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[martiangurll]

Dang ladies, I cannot keep up with this thread, 43 pages since I last checked in. I ended up with both FL only. I am very tempted by SD and RL but have too many similar lippies to justify hunting them down, esp. since MAC is making it hard. Now, if they want to stock adequate supplies so I am not staying up all night in stalker mode, I will consider biting but until then, these are not unique enough nor is there any special packaging incentive to entice me into the let's pretend there is a huge demand for these because we are going to have limited quantities and sell out soon games.

I would love to be enabled on the blushes, but I have yet to see swatches on a person, even an arm swatch and probably should not go looking.

That being said, you ladies are looking lovely in these lippies and this is a good place to start in getting some nice Spring pinks if you are relatively new to the MAC games.

The rest of my haul comes today! Last night Snapdragon arrived, lovedddd the feel of it! It's such a pretty color to me. It really is going to be used as much as I use Lavender Whip from Baking Beauties. Makes me excited to try Rose Lily when it reaches today!
