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

[Shopping Obsess]

after seeing the swatches, think I am going to skip the lipsticks as they look quite sheer to me. Think I'm still going for the Stereo Rose. I just checked my blush collection and I found a couple of MSF that I barely touch at all since I got them. But since Stereo Rose was such a huge hype, I would kick myself if I don't get my hands on one this time. You should see how much they go for on ebay!

Well that decides it, then - this collection is a skip for me! I can hear my wallet breathing a sigh of relief!

I'm not seeing this spam epidemic. Maybe because I'm on mobile?

I guess I'll just be getting Sassy Moss and the new piggies.

Also....

For everyone saying how off the photos look or how she may have altered them somehow she-Sunny clearly says "Please bear in mind that I had to photograph everything under very challenging circumstances, so the quality isn’t as good as my regular photos. Still, better a sneak peek than nothing!"

Richelle! Hiya!

a friend of mine was at MAC and saw the colors. They wouldn't let her take pictures but she said Snapdragon looks like pink popcorn just a little more purple. It's more purple than pink. I wonder if someone else can verify that.

The lipstick swatches don't look right at all. Here's some swatches I did: TOP (left to right): Dreaming Dahlia, Naked Bud, Fleur d'Coral BOTTOM (left to right): Heavenly Hybrid, Snapdragon, Rose Lily

Thanks for these! Def no lippies for me! Colors look nothing like I imagined Hope people get what they want!

 

[TwistedFaith]

Okay my prelim list is: Phlox Garden Perfect Topping - I swatched this years ago when it was released with Sugarsweet and didn't care for it...but maybe my tastes have changed? I'll prob swatch in store. Naked Bud - looks kinda similar to one of my fave nudes, Creme Cerise. I'll have to check it out. Heavenly Hybrid - very pretty, but I'm wondering how close it might be to Most Popular l/s? Trying to stick with #teamlowbuy. It would be wonderful if I only picked up Phlox Garden!

 

[BriarRose]

After a week of research and talking to my MAC girls, I decided to add Stereo Rose to my list. Im NC50 I feel like Stereo Rose would be really pretty on me so im gunna give it a shot, this will be my first MSF

. I notice alot of people just buy MSF for the hell of it because its limited edition or whatever, and they dont check to see if the color suites their skin tone. $30 is alot to waste on something that your not gunna use often. I guess its the MAC fanatic in us.

I think it will look lovely on you!

I was that way with SR when it was last released (wanting it without really thinking about how it would go with my coloring). I really wanted it since so many people gave it glowing reviews and it looked so pretty. Mac-Guy's posts about it not really being suited to the very cool and fair gave me a heads up, and sure enough, it swatched like a shiny orange mess on my hand.

I think that was around the point that I started to get more picky about what I bought and tried not to give in to hype! It can be done!

 

[danisheree]

Swatches!!!!! I so want to skip these lipsticks but I just can't. Snapdragon is a must and I still want to try Fleur d'Coral and as if I don't have enough nudes I want naked bud too. I'm on the fence about Dreaming Dahlia... I just don't know about that one. Perfect topping is on the list too!

 

[SqueekyB]

That's what I thought the first time I heard about stereo rose and I bought it. I am glad I did. Stereo Rose is super flattering on everyone. It is beautiful on the skin. I am NC20, it looks gorgeous on me. Try it.

Woah, just caught up on like 700 posts o_o Y'all are hilarious. Welcome back [@]Richelle83[/@]. Nice to see your face in threads again I'm finally really experiencing what it means to be a poor college student, so I have almost no spending money these days /: I think it will help normalize my spending habits, but it also sucks because I can't buy what I want. That being said, spending cuts or not, those lipsticks look boring enough that I would have skipped them even if I had the budget. Er, except Dreaming Dahlia. That one still has a smidgeon of a chance. - Dreaming Dahlia (On the one hand, I have a lot of lipstick colors in this range and I almost never wear them. On the other hand, most of those are super-saturated in formula, so the Lustre finish is really attracting me. Thoughts?) - Heavenly Hybrid - Perfect Topping - Phlox Garden - Sassy Moss - Snapdragon Still all pending actual in-store swatches. I think I'll be able to skip essentially everything beside PG. #TeamLowBuy

LMAO, that is SO funny. If I ever see a Heatherette compact now, I'm just going to be reminded of bubbletape. xDD

 

[danisheree]

I fell into the Stereo Rose craze after I missed the last repromote. Luckily I ended up buying it from a blog sale under retail price. I really don't like it on me. I'm a NC55. Maybe I need to give it another chance. But I hope you're able to get your hands on it and that it looks lovely on you. GOOD LUCK!
