MAC - Alice + Olivia Discussion

[lilibat]

I only use pigments, usually pressed, but I am getting rid of all my shadows except a very few. I prefer the pressed pigment payoff. I am getting all 3 with lots of backups of Later and possibly Partylicious depending on how silver it is. I would prefer just the colour without the metallic for that one.

I want the teal pigment for sure. I am still unsure about the black one as I have three MES from Style Black and love them all.

 

[Hypathya]

The three pigments for me please!!

 

[PlatinumV]

Girls, do you know if there are some swatches around? Here there is just a pic, but it is a swatch on paper, I would like to see a swatch on sking. Any idea where I can find one?

 

[SmokeSignal16]

^I don't think we will have any skin swatches for a while since this is just a ways from being release. I know some people do get a hold of the products early but so far I don't think there is anything out there yet!

 

[DollyGirl92]

I've always wondered how people get their hands on things early.
Like somebody got the LoL shadows in normally packaging early and somebody also got the marine life powder I always wonder how they manage this!

 

[SmokeSignal16]

^I know right, I wish I had that type of hookup! The only hookup I manage to get is I know my MA's extremely well so they let me buy collections super early if they come in.

 

[LittleMaryJane]

I was just wondering about this too--how to get stuff early. I figured maybe different countries having different release dates... I dunno but I'm jealous!

The only way I've found to get stuff early it to hit up a Pro store. I always call first to see if they have something.

Oh no, I had no idea that it was only freestanding locations aswell! Darn it. But thanks for the heads up.

Sure, maybe you can have something one or two days before release date, but here we are speaking about people who have swatches 2 months before release date... so, really, I would like too to know how they do!
By the way, if someone of these blessed by MAC people have the 3 pigments, please, post a swatch!

OMG whats wrong with me!? I am being practical and turning away from makeup all over again! In a nutshell, I am not buying anything from this collection.

Your giving up all your pigments? That's a huge thing to give up on. Even though there are some people that don't use pigments often and lately I've been giving my pigments love since I'm experimenting combos. Now it's official. I do want all three pigments and I have a idea. I'm going to order some travel jars and put the pigments in there and put the new jars in the B2M pile.

Monica if you're giving up your piggies... you can give them to me!!

MAC sends samples in raw package (same size, but no final package) to the management of each country about 4-6 months earlier to US release date. My guess is some people are in very good terms with the brand managers at their countries.

Why didn't I think of this??

I had wanted to know the same thing and asked I think maybe when Spring Forecast came out. A nice speckraette told me that MAC will send people with blogs samples of things so they can review it and then post about it to get everyone excited about the collections

Since I was thinking about skipping the pigments and not liking the tiny jars, I just thought that most of you can order the Travel Jars on MAC's website to store the new pigments in the jars and put them in your B2M pile so that it'll make things easier. I'm thinking about getting all three dazzleglass cremes too since the nail polishes look dupable. They remind me of Shower Together, Coconut Kiss and Light As Air from China Glaze.

 

[Hypathya]

I'm also considering the Dazzleglass cremes, but still unsure... Fall collections are always a killer and I must save!!

So, it is time we all open a make up blog!

 

[Lambie_mac]

Omg I don't think I can wait any longer!!!
