It will be a VERY expensive morning, but I'm so excited!!!

lol...at least I know I'm not alone in this. I stayed up late last night refreshing my page and woke up early only to do the same and find out that the status is still "Coming Soon"

I can only be patient for so long. Why must MAC torment me like this?!?

 

[jenntoz]

The torment is over...its all finally available for purchase!

 

[jenntoz]

Play on Plums
Polar Opposite
Fresh Green Mix

[LaurelLiz]

I decided to wait to see them in person. I just really want to look at the colors and textures before I make my final decision. But, I'm planning on:

Sea & Sky
Hot Contrast
Odd Couple

 

[clotheswhore]

I only got Odd Couple and Fresh Green Mix. I have a bunch of empties to B2M so I'm going to my MAC store this weekend to see if I like any of the lippies.

 

[Winthrop44]

I only ordered the green one as well, and plan to check out the lip products in person too. Right now I'm thinking I'll be skipping them.

 

[PixieVM]

Right now my list is Fresh Green Mix, Odd Couple and Sea and Sky. As far as the lippies go Ive been eyeing Mellow Mood, Major Minor, and Sonic Vibe but I have to see them irl to see if they are unique enough to get...Counting down the minutes until Thursday morning

 

[Face2Mac]

I only got Sea and Sky because I could justify that purchase as a need, Not as a want.

Because I want everything.

 

[rbella]

WooHoo!!!!!!!!!
Odd Couple
Polar Opposites
Sea and Sky
Fresh Green Mix
Major Minor
Fast Thrill
Sonic Vibe
Culture Clash
Mellow Mood
Dainty
Gentle

I cannot wait!!!!!

 

[concertina]

It is taking every bit of will power I have to NOT go buy everything I want online.

I WILL wait until Thursday when I can see them in person. I WILL!

 

[rocking chick]

I prefer to go MAC counters to choose the MES. From some of the pics,I can see that certain mes melange is on top but for some the melange part is at the bottom! I dont like that.. prefer my mes collection to be standard.

I'd say it's pretty similar to Chartreuse. However, I would get it if you like bright greens like that because it's very pigmented...and very, well, bright! lol. Fresh Green Mix was the prettiest MES to me after I tested all of them. I'm not sure of any other e/s in the perm. line that would dupe it though because the only bright green I own similar to that is Juxt and I wouldn't say that it's a dupe b/c Juxt doesn't have as great of a color payoff. I'm still debating whether or not to get this because I already own so many greens! But now I'm wondering...

The mix side of sea & sky is very silvery-blue. Maybe it was the lights, but it had a plummy tint to it on me. (I'm NC25) I'd say if you have moon flower and moon's reflection, this wouldn't be worthwhile to get, although it might be a little more silvery than those. The solid side of the sea & sky is gorgeous though, so it may be worth it after all.

Yeah that solid blue in Sea & Sky has won my heart. I can't wait til Thursday!

 

[MAC_Whore]

Ummm...I ordered my stuff this a.m. I want it here. Now. *taps fingers*

 

[blindpassion]

Exactly 47 hours until Thursday @ 10 AM.
I will be standing in my mac store
in 47 hours... drooling. And whipping out the Visa.

 

[Ladyvirtuous]

So far I purchased Sea and Sky, Fresh Green Mix and Hot Contrast (online)......and I think it stops there.

In terms of the lippies, I am not quite sure. Lil Hot Pepper l/g, Sonic Vibe l/g and Fast Thrill l/s look nice but I'm still not sure.

 

[AlysonWithaY]

The only thing I haven't been able to fully talk myself out of is Sonic Vibe l/g...I am going to be patient and wait for some swatches!

Those are the three I wanted the most

I got the first two, and gonna check Hot Contrast in store before I decide to get it or not

Hey ladies... so I did get a chance to see these in person yesterday. However, because I am trying to exercise restraint, I only swatched the ones that I had decided i was interested in before hand. I ended up getting Fresh Green Mix, which went on smooth and while it had decent colour payoff, it could also be worn more sheer if one prefers. This was definitely the standout in the bunch IMO. The other one I quite liked is Play on Plums, which is actually more of a bronze-y duo. However, it is not a really coppery or orange type bronze but rather seems to have pinkish or plum undertones to it (thus the name I suppose!). I passed on this yesterday, but will probably pick it up on Thursday using a gift card. The other one I swatched is Pink Split, which I really wanted but it swatched really poorly. This one is not as smooth as the other two mentioned, had very little colour payoff and I can see there being a lot of fall out with it.

As for the lippies, I really loved Fast Thrill. It has been compared to Bombshell, but to me it is a warmer version, I wouldn't go as far as calling it a corally pink, but in certain lighting it almost looks a touch so. Mellow Mood was the other one I got (both B2M), but it's really not too exciting. I was hoping it would have more shimmer to it, but it's pretty much a straight forward neutral plummy shade, albeit a nice one. I only tested one gloss, Cultureclash. It was a really pretty shimmery light pink, but did have that mult-coloured shimmer in it that I'm personally not too keen on.

HTH anyone interested in any of the mentioned shades!
