MAC - All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Discussion

[lenchen]

I loving the all' s good blush, that's about it. I'm loving that dark brown pigment and I considered buying it but after seeing the new pigments packaging at pro, I just can't bring myself to do it...

Why is there so many brow products in this collection? I'd only need one, but the number of choices makes it difficult to decide which one to get. I'll probably skip the Penultimate brow marker, because based on BunnyBunnyBunny's review it might not look that good on me.

I got to swatch Blushbaby and I love it. Will check out these blushes and decide which to buy.

 

[coachkitten]

Blushbaby is my go to blush as well.

I love that color and have used it faithfully for years and years! I might have to give these BPB another chance if they are close to blushbaby. I honestly didn't pay enough attention to them when I saw them in person.

Shadows- not as exciting (for me anyway!) as the pigments and BPBs

Cross-Cultural

Banshee

All Races

Showstopper

Swathes-

Top-Bottom:
All Races (it is there I promise, you just need to look really hard!)
Banshee
Cross-Cultural
Showstopper

All Races looks terrible swatched but to wear it's actually my fave.

Cross Cultural compared to Mulled Cider:

Left: Cross-Cultural
Right: Mulled Cider

blushbaby is one that i have always wanted but never got....

 

[LMD84]

thanks for the swatches of the shadows... i agree they are not very exciting!

 

[Susanne]

I am loosing more and more the interest in this collection

There are just two l/g left on my list....

 

[Door]

thanks for the swatches. I think the Banshee looks nice in the pan, but it might look on me like a bruise (wouldn't be the 1st e/s to give that impression).

 

[shontay07108]

Uh oh, I think I need Cross-Cultural. I'm with Susanne, losing interest in this collection, but I really need brown in my collection and CC looks so yummy.

 

[GlamQueen21]

The eyeshadows look nice but I'll pass on the eyeshadows. I'll only get both beauty powders, one lipstick and two lipglasses and that's it.

 

[TeresitaMC]

Maybe it's just me but I am loving Cross-Cultural e/s and Showstopper e/s so far. They remind me of the 2 darkest browns in the Smoke & Mirrors palette, which I use quite often. Those 2 e/s, Naked Frost l/g and Equality l/s are on my list, with Rich Life pigment and a BPB as just maybe's.

Thanks for the swatches!

It helped guarantee my want list on the e/s.

Oh, perfect!! That is just what I need and love!

Thank you so so much!

 

[coachkitten]

I love the Smoke & Mirror palette as well TeresitaMC! I used the darkest color today as a liner.

I think that I am going to be getting the eye shadows but not much else. I have a few B2M to redeem for them. Otherwise I am saving for Spring Forecast and a few Lillyland items.

It's a gem, isn't it?

I use it more than my permanent browns. So these 2 shades will help minimize the use of S&M a bit I hope

 

[FemmeFatale]

I am one of the few that is SUPER excited for this collection. I am a major neutral lover!

I am going to be picking up both Beauty Powder blushes and both pigments. I want to check out the lipsticks in Equality and Myself.

Any chance this coming out early? Or do I have to wait until thurs?

Hi all! I'm Jayne for those who don't know me...it's been a while since I've posted but I've always been reading up on the collections and I just love Specktra! I went to my local Nordies yesterday and was able to check out the testers for this collection!!

I didn't expect to like anything except the blushes, but I actually fell head over heels for a lipstick and lipglass!! The lippie I loved was Myself (I think in the collection post the descriptions for Myself and Equality lippies are reversed - Myself is the mauvey one and Equality was the pale beige/nude color). And the l/g I want to get is Glamour for All - it looks like the perfect nude pink but not too pale like Underage (which I still love haha).

I was really shocked by the smaller sized pigment jars!!!

I haven't read through this whole forum just bits and pieces so I didn't realize that had happened! They could have made the jars a little smaller or raised the price a little bit, but decreasing the pigments from 7.5g to 4.3g is almost cutting them in half!! Shame on MAC! I still love them though

Both blushes looked and felt beautiful like all beauty powder blushes do! I really want Personal Style (the light taupey one) but I have also been lemming the Taupe PRO blush. Once this collection launches, if someone could do a swatch comparison of these two blushes I would seriously love you forever

 

[TeresitaMC]

Karla's swatches have made me add Glamour For All to my want list - yum! I don't even get how it wasn't already on there

 

[LMD84]

i am looking forward to this collection.... purely because i am only getting one gloss so i shall be saving some pennies!
