MAC A Novel Romance Collection (Aug 21, 2014)

[LiliV]

ANR looks like Rose Lily whilst HA and LK look quite brown :s

Lingering Kiss does look really brown there! I passed on A Novel Romance bc I have Rose Lily and OCC Mannequin Lip Tar. I do like that A Novel Romance isn't a Lustre though, so it would probably stay on better than Rose Lily which is why I was considering it

Hi girls! So I have or had, YTL, ANR, GK, HA lipsticks in my cart but I overspent this month and I was wondering if there is (as far as lippies go) an absolute must have for me that I should pick up in store next week. I have pleasure bomb, moxie, girl about town, don't like myself (the lipstick that is), deeply adored and used it once only. What do you all think? I am good on blushes for now.

 

[allthingsglam]

I need to be sure, so Imma wait for more swatches off you lovely ladies Same

 

[jenise]

Can't wait to see everyone's swatches and comparisons! To see if I actually need LK & HA! (I could always steal my mom's but...)

I wish Animal Instincts would sell out so that the temptation to get it would go away! LOL

If you have Pleasure Bomb and Moxie I would skip GK, they are very similar.

Based on swatches on Google images Deeply Adored looks like a brighter red than Hearts Aflame, HA looks more brick red so it would depend on if you like that kind of red - plus some are saying it leans brown.

Ugh I know. But I've never been a blush person... hmm... plus as pale as I am I'm not sure how that blush would look on me...

I rarely reach for rose lily it needs abit of work for me to pull it off but I find UD clear lipliner helps keep RL in place for longer.

I had to do a double take that this was really you Miss Dolly! Has your Specktra been hacked?! Heehee xoxo

I haven't been around lately so I don't know if your pic is new or not, but I have to say that you look amazing! Truly stunning

Another lurker here struggling to overcome irrational fear or joining in conversations! I managed to just order Yield To Love for now since I actually am lacking lipsticks in that color department. Thinking I might get a blush once it hits stores or see more swatches. I'm looking forward to see how everyone looks in everything and what everyone's favorite things from the collection are!

Hi, guys. So I have a lurker for a while but I decided to post recently. This is my first time posting in a collection thread. I was actually very excited for this collection and ordered three lipsticks which were Lingering Kiss, Hearts Aflame, and A Novel Romance. That's actually a lot for me since I usually order one thing from a collection. XD I'm still debating on whether I want to get Fun Ending blush but I might have to try that in store since I'm not much of a blush girl. I have some questions as a makeup noobie. What do you guys line with for dark, vampy reds like Diva and Hearts Aflame? Can I just use Cherry? Any cheap drugstore (or MAC) alternatives you can think of? Can I line Lingering Kiss with Nightmoth? >_<

Welcome to Specktra ladies! I think lk would look good with Nightmoth, but I don't know about Diva or ha with Cherry as it's rather bright. Maybe Vino?

Hello Iam new to the site aswell Im very excited to be here and talk to you all I so cant wait for this collection to hit UK, Iam trying to be sensible here and decided to go just for 2 lippies GD and YTL plus one blush FE.

Welcome!

 

[NaomiH]

Aw man I forgot to put that in my order! If it resembled the color swatch on the site, I would have gotten that one for sure! I've been thinking about picking up Venomous Violet myself - I'm just a bit afraid of how that formula will do as dark as that lipstick is. I'm starting to have skippers remorse over GK... but honestly I have something like it...

Thanks exactly why I haven't grabbed it yet as well.
