Strada looks a lot pinker in her swatches.

Who loves the GP Promo video?

I haven't seen it yet. Where is it?

I love the look of Restrict l/s. I might actually be able to pull this one off. I am NW15/N2 w/red hair and green eyes. Every nude l/s I have tried previously has made me look dead or been too brown and made my smile look horrible. I am holding out great hope for this one.

Am I the only one totally underwhelmed by this collection?

The nail polishes look sexy, though.

 

[Richelle83]

Your definitely not the only one! I got excited that I don't have to fork over any money.

 

[Anitacska]

So far it's a no from me, all I'm interested in is the nail polishes (if they're as nice as I expect them to be) and maybe the lipglasses. Hope there are lots of swatches up soon.

 

[Mac-Guy]

It's on the MAC OS site.



If you apply it not too thick (which IMO does not work for most l/s as thick l/s just looks yucky), it will look stunning on a wide range of skin tones. I find Restrict easy to apply when I just pad it on and blend it out with a lip brush, then apply an extra layer in the center of my lips for some added shine or a gloss.

restrict lipstick is on my list for sure... but i now feel i need strada in the pro pan form

Vacant is really pretty, I kinda like Outrage as well.

Outrage looks pretty on, but I can live without it

 

[mac_aiken]

Can't wait to see Vacant and Restrict used together. I think it will be hot!

 

[ahoythere]

Outrage is looking a lot like Oversexed Plushglass (which I love) but with faint green sparkles in addition to the gold......

Can't wait for the pigment swatches!~

 

[Piarpreet]

cos i'd hate to dislike a 22 dollar lipstick

Why don't you order it?

I've been using this combination for a couple of weeks and it's the perfect nude with an oompf.

 

[Anitacska]

I quite like Vacant, but at that price (I'm guessing near £20) I'm going to pass.

Strada would look lovely on you. FYI, I find that since Christine has a warmer skin tone, Strada looks pinker on her than it does on me. I think it's a light enough colour that it sort of "melds" to the skin tone of the person wearing it.

 

[PixieDancer]

Judging by Temptalia's swatches... looks like just Outrage lipglass for me. Overall, I'm not super wow'd by this collection either. Especially at the price point.
Thanks katred for the thorough descriptions! I agree that the pigments look passable.
Too bad the packaging is so interesting! That's the only thing that makes me bummed to pass on this... but, like a lot of you, MAC will get my money with upcoming collections... AS ALWAYS!

I think I'm getting both lipglasses...no sure about Strada
