MAC - All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Discussion

[GlamQueen21]

I wish that MAC didn't inform us that they are changing the pigment jars! It makes me mad, disappointed, bitter and furious!

I'll still get them but I'm thinking about transfering them into the MAC jars so that I don't have to worry about the spillage.

If I get any that is what I am doing. I have a huge bag of B2M jars for that purpose... then I will B2M the new horrid jars.

Awww...Don't feel bad, the new jars are cute! The top felt more secure and I like that they are narrow so that they'll fit into storage better. The pigments aren't unique, except maybe the white one because I noticed it had a bit of green sparkle in it. You may actually end up liking the new jars better once you get to play with them. I think they look sleek.

No I don't. I got to handle one today and I didn't like it at ALL.

I must see them in real before I can judge.

I have two opinions:

I really like the new packaging. Reminds me of nail polishes.

I do not like the price at all. If they reduce the amount, they should reduce the price as well!

Well, now that I have ordered my items from Warm & Cozy, I am ready to start thinking about this collection. I am excited to see it all in person, particularly the brow products. I tried out the Anastasia Brow Pen recently, but it was horrible- it worked great the first time, but after that it wouldn't draw on evenly. It was blotchy and difficult to work with, so I'm hoping this isn't gonna be the case with the MAC one...but the pencils sound nice too.

What I don't get is the slim jars are supposed to appearing in this collection but in iheartakeup's swatches, the new pigments are in old jars? I am confused.

because hers were sent as a sample she got them early. i guess that was before they did the final design of the jar change

Today I thought about using the Spiced Chocolate quad but I went for the Well-Plumed quad instead. (to protect my CoC baby).

Liqueur is a gorgeous Lipglass.. I wish they would repromote Jampacked though (and Cult Of Cherry).

i love jam packed gloss!

 

[GlamQueen21]

I'm looking forward of Liqueur lipglass as well and Naked Frost.

Hmm...CoC just didn't do it for me. In fact, I'm getting rid of the CoC lippies I bought. The only thing I'm keeping is Blooming Blush.

I must get my rant off my chest about the new p/g jars. Ok, so fine if MAC wants to change the jars to a smaller size, but the price should be lowered to accommodate the smaller size. Then, the jar that they chose totally sucks! Who ever in their right mind would put loose pigments in a pop top jar! Don't they realize how easy it is for our precious, expensive pigments to go flying everywhere just by trying to get it open. Dummies! That is the most ridiculous packaging I have ever heard of. Although, that maybe just what they had in mind. When we spill them we will have to buy more for their ridiculous priced p/s. I am planning to visit all 4 of the MAC stores in my area and the CCO in MS & the one in Houston to stock up on the old style p/s. After that I won't be purchasing anymore. So, no I won't be buying the gorgeous Rich Life pigment, even-though I like it. I just don't think it is worth the price. It will just give me more $$ to spend on my blushes. I will be buying both blushes from this collection. I think that MAC made a horrible mistake with p/g decision.

I saw this collection in person today at my local Nordstrom. I have to admit that I was a bit underwhelmed.

Everything is so neutral and various shades of brown which is fine but it isn't really my favorite color scheme.

I did get to see the new pigment jars today and the tops snap on and off as opposed to a screw off top. The MA swore to me that there is the same amount of pigment in the jar but that it is packed in tighter.

I don't really get that. To me (which is kind of bitter sweet) the pigments are the standout of this collection. Especially universal mix.

I also got to see the universal brow pen and I was disappointed in the "universal" color but the staying power was awesome!!

This is a nice collection but not my favorite ever.

Gotta go to my nordies now to check it out =)

Alright, so I've been messing around with the Penultimate Brow Marker lately. I am in no mood to go through the past several pages, so I'm sorry if I'm repeating anything that's already been said!

It is AWESOME AWESOME. It goes on super precise and super smooth and its much easier to do than the eyeliner since brows are generally alot less precise and not as fussy as liquid eyeliner. Pressing harder gives you a thicker line, while light sweeps will give you a nice thin line.

It's the perfect shade for dirty blonde to dark brown to red, but I have to tell you that you have to have WARM toned hair, preferably with auburn undertones. I would also suggest that you only use it if you are an NW as well. I have tried it on several people and it looks best on those skins/hair types.

I tried it on an NC15 girl with dyed black hair and it looks SO obvious. Like you could tell she is wearing some kind of eyebrow color in the definite wrong shade. This is the biggest drawback, the single shade in 'Universal' which is honestly not universal at all. Hopefully we will get a cooler blonde, a cool taupe, and a deeper brown sometime.

The BEST feature of this formula is that it is water resistant. It is BUDGEproof once it dries. I let it dry on my hand and it wouldnt rub off, my hand was red and I still had strokes on my hand! Geez!

If the shade suits you I would definitely suggest trying it since the application is a breeze and the product lasts well on the skin. I already have several Clinique and Estee girls putting in orders!
