MAC - Electroflash Discussion

Re: Electroflash Discussion

Blindpassion, I'm sorry to bombard you with questions, but if I have Parfait Amor, could I pass on Odd Couple? I keep debating on that one because it looks so pretty (and I don't have Mercurial), but I have Parfait Amor and don't wear it that often.

And would you say that the lime mono in Fresh Green is a better-payoff shimmery version of Pagan?

Also, thanks for all your wonderful help and information so far!!

No worries, I dont mind answering anything you guys throw at me

As far as the Fresh Green goes, Id say the color has much more depth then pagan, and waaayy more color pay off. I didnt swatch any of these but my fav MA did on her arm while we were looking at them. As far as odd couple goes, I think it's fairly dupeable... it's gorgeous, but it's dupeable. I didn't swatch so I couldn't say exactly how close it is to parfait amour, but its close enough that unless you had some serious obsession with getting every purple, that you could probably pass. Especially if you already have parfait amour and don't use it often, just pass on Odd Couple and grab one thats more unique.

I just did these really quick swatches for you, some of them are more intense colors but you're awesome so you can handle it haha! A lot of these are good crease colors or lid colors, I love digit as a highlight for purples but I see you already have that. I definitely think you could pull a lot of those, they would look great with your eye color. I tried to choose ones that maybe you hadn't considered. Beautiful Iris and Parfait Amour go fantastic together! So do hepcat and stars and rockets. Just looking at that picture is getting my imagination going! Swish and Star Voilet are great together as well, Swish as a wash and star voilet in the crease, with maybe a nude highlight like blanc type or shroom.

You can use Beauty marked with Swith and Star Violet because It will show up with the sparkles because of the red base.

Hey, y'all don't think that Sonic Chic looks just like Hey Sailor lu/g from Naughty Nauticals just without the tremendous glitter?

Re: Electroflash Discussion

blindpassion, what's the bright pink nail polish you were wearing? i<3 that color!

Re: Electroflash Discussion

I'm going to add Play on Plums

I bought Lush N Lilac liner over the weekend & paired it up with Utter Pervette *GORGEOUS!* So I think that Play on Plums would look lovely with lips done in these colors.

Re: Electroflash Discussion

Yay!I don't have Parfait Amour so having Odd Couple will be even better

hehe thanks love!
I actually have acrylic nails, I'll show you a proper picture... they remind me of stars and rockets e/s!

They have a blue sparkle in them that the camera wasnt picking up
The underside of them (that you saw in the picture) is a solid hot pink color from the last color i had, which was a bright pink... and the remainder of it is still under there. I used MACs steamy nail polish on my toes to try and match the hot pink color on my nails, but theres some from OPI that are exactly the same as that bright pink color.

Re: Electroflash Discussion

Hi my fellow MAC fanatics, I don't know if this was mentioned before but I was told by my MA that these will be release in July (for US), but I was so in awe with the products and with swatching that I forgot what day. I also put up my swatches on the swatch thread.

Re: Electroflash Discussion

Love Connection is love.
yay!

audrey, 227 - GREAT brush.
You can use it for highlighting your cheek bones and other areas on your face, or your eye area, fanastic brush.
haha also audrey, it seems your list has grown since we last spoke

hehehehe.

Re: Electroflash Discussion

After seeing all your guys' lists, I feel like somewhat of a disappointment to the enablers of audrey, blindpassion, elegant-one, & co. (sorry that I can't think of everyone right now!) because all that I'm really wanting is maybe Fresh Green or Play on Plums, Mellow Mood, and the 227. *Sigh* Its just the more I look at the promo pics and swatches, the less compelled I feel to actually get it.

hehehe! see hun, I may be an enabler, but I'm still a smart shopper haha!

My list right now is only...

Hot Contrast e/s
Polar Opposites e/s
Fast Thrill l/s
Sonic Vibe l/g
Culture Clash l/g

I had fresh green in there but I yanked it, I dont use the greens I have right now.
The swatches that were just posted, Im not sure of the username, it was incredibly sweet of her to post but I saw this collection in person the other day and they really are kind of one of those things you have to see and swatch yourself to get the feel for it, if you know what I mean. Audrey and I had a bunch of discussions about whats dupeable and what you can pass on above in the thread. I think a lot of these are dupeable but a few are really fantastic. I guess it depends how much into "mini" msfs you are

and to add onto this, there is a SLIGHT chance I may not get a single thing for this collection (AHHHH SCARY THOUGHT!!!!!!) because I'll be spending my whole budget on the msf blushes... I have been drooling over those since someone said the words "msf" blushes. mmmmm. hahah. ahhh man MAC kills my wallet.

Re: Electroflash Discussion

hot contrast + sky & sea are on my watch list, but i just might skip this whole collection all together

I agree with you... I just wanted to swatch them for myself and to help for those who were curious. My thoughts on those I swatched were just opinions and I always recommend people to try them out because what I like can probably way different from what everyone else likes. With that said, I want to add that the lipsticks are gorgeous.

Thankyou so much for the swatches!!!

I really appreciated you posting them. I'm just finding with this collection that, unlike some of the other ones, its really something you gotta see for yourself kinda thing. What were your favorite ones!?

I thought the lipsticks were really great with this collection as well!
and the glosses
