MAC - Electroflash Discussion

[coachkitten]

Thanks Audrey for another great review!

I don't know what we would do without you!

I think that I am just going to stick with getting sea & sky, pink split, and hot contrast. I am anxiously waiting for my Fresh Green Mix to come to me in the mail!!

I love your posts! You are too funny! But seriously my fresh green mix MES is missing out of the mail I am coming to Texas to find you!

Im glad to see swatches now. I dont agree with everyone on fresh Green...I'm not too fond of lime greens on me

So Im pretty sure Ill get sea & sky. And maaaaaaaybe another one. but I may just stick to one MES and a lipglass or lipstick. I'm glad I can keep it moving on this collection....

What do you all (those of you who previewed the collection...or anyone, really!) think of the l/g and l/s? As much as I'm trying to avoid getting anything from this collection (SO broke!) I did wanna be sure there weren't any standout lippies I'd be missing out on!

I can't believe that I forgot that there are lipsticks in this collection!!!

Duh!

I seriously can't keep any of these collections straight!

Alright Audrey, I'll get Fresh Green Mix!

It probably wouldn't have taken much anyway!

But there's only what.... about 10 or so to remember for next week?!

I haven't forgotten about the lippies, since there are two that I'm pretty sure I want, but that's where my empties come in from my recent depotting marathon! I have enough for 9 B2M items

Go figure though that with the 3 collections that are out, there's very little I can actually B2M for this time around!

I'm really thinking these:
Mellow Mood
Major Minor
Fast Thrill
Sonic Vibe

could be musts.....

Honestly, the lippies weren't standouts to me, but maybe that's because I couldn't stop staring at the blushes. I think that Fast Thrill and Sonic Vibe will be popular. Sonic Vibe is a bright watermelony pink, nothing like Malibu Barbie. Culture Clash l/g is a pretty bubblegum pink. Mellow Mood was not super impressive IMO and I am sure we could find suitable dupes if we looked hard enough. I didn't even touch the darkest l/s and l/g. If I could B2M for l/g at my counter I would probably get Sonic Vibe and Culture clash, but I don't neeeed them enough to pay $28 for them. Just my opinion of course.

She will camoflague herself wearing your Fresh Green Mix e/s and hide in your front bushes.

Those are the ones that I am wanting as well. I guess my goal of $200 for Sonic Chich and Electroflash just went out the window now that I remembered the lipsticks/lipglasses! Oh well......it was a fun goal while it lasted!

That is why I am here. To crush your dreams and ruin your goals. But, you will come out of it with some fantastic makeup!!!

Seriously, I think you might be able to do it. Once you get in the store to swatch everything and see how it works on your skin, I really believe you'll be surprised by how many of the colors are "close" to something you probably already have. That is the mindset I am sticking with. Unless it is so unique, like nothing I have ever seen, I am not getting it. A simple "touch of gold", "hint of pink", "bit of shimmer" won't be enough. It will have to be a major difference in formulation, or a major difference in color payoff from products I already own. I am standing strong on this, I swear!!

I know I want Fast Thrill, and I've only seen one pic so far of Mellow Mood, but it looked so pretty. I'll have to wait to see that in person. The lipglasses didn't excite me much, I'm waiting for the one coming up in Cult of Cherry, (again, forgetting the name... maybe because there are a few too many collections to actually remember everything!). But the really light one in that collection will be mine, so I can wait! It's a damn good thing that I'll be a working woman again soon, lol!

I really hope you have more will power than the rest of us!

I am going to have to do this too. I already know that Dainty and Pleasantry are close enough to things I already have, so I REALLY should pass on them. I am going to take all of my blushes with me and swatch them next to these before I buy. I also want a blush from Cult of Cherry, so really, I don't want to get more than 2 of these. It is going to be SO hard though.

Cherry Blossom! I want that one too, so I am ok with passing on these.

EDIT: Crap, I totally posted the whole blurb about the blushes in the wrong thread

I need to go to bed!

Alright rbella when I go to the MAC counter to get these items I am going to have your words echoing in my head!

I am going to try to stick with that as well.

Me at the MAC counter is terrible because I will get anything and everything I even remotely like. I am trying really hard to stick to lists lately and really take my time trying things out before I walk out with a bunch of things I don't want or have dupes of.

 

[clslvr6spd]

I am being a good girl with this collection & only getting Fast Thrill & Mellow Mood lippies.

Most of my $$ is going towards Sonic Chic.

DON'T TEMPT ME!!

lol
