So, when I went back to pick my preorder up, I got to play a bit more with some of my selections before buying them. I cut my list down considerably and my $$ damage for this collection was only $80.

I came home with:

Bloodline (the only piece that was on my original wish list from the very first news of the collection)
Best of Breed l/g
Aristo-cat (B2M for this) l/s
Pure Show e/l
Smokey Heir e/l
Jade Dragon n/p

I love the new liners. I have been wearing liquid liners for about 20 years now and these are some of the best I have ever seen. The colors are amazing. I love anything purple so Smokey Heir was a given. I can't wait to rock an eye using SH and Pure Show at the first home football game for the UofW. Go Huskies!

I had Leopard Luxe and Jealous both on my list originally but after playing with them changed my mind. LL would take alot of work to pull off on me. It is super stunning though.

I'm waffling on the quads - I can't make up my mind. We'll see...

Pet me blush and Aristo-cat are pretty much a given, maybes are Drive me wild and Wildly refined.

I'd love to get a liner, but since they are perm, I'll wait a bit.

they're stupid too! did you tell em to look in their update book on page 95? i know what memo they're talking about, and it meant no LE special packaging (like VV). LE black packaging is ok. it specifically mentions that FF lipsticks and glosses ARE allowable for freebies.

Thanks for this info. I figured it was for the LE special packaging but since I didn't really want any of the lip products, I didn't put up a fuss.

I was thinking about the Burmese Beauty quad and then I see it on someone's eyes in the swatch thread. I'm a goner. So it's BB and On the Hunt liquid liner and then I am DONE, I tell you.

I just don't want to live with the regret of not getting something. I'd rather have it and not need it, but that's just me.

Ok I'm home but unfortunately due to 3 lanes blocked due to construction on 66 @ 495 and a splitting headache I never made it to the second MAC where I intended to go to get my free gloss. Anyway I will be going back to the MAC f/s I guess tomorrow but here's my review/experience from this morning.

I was the first one there this morning and I had my makeup done by Nicole whom I'd never met and she was super nice
greengrin.gif
. I took a look at the displays while she was finishing opening up and LOVED everything but didnt get to look too much as she was quickly ready for me. Her makeup looked so nice and she'd used a bit from each collection and was going to do a similar look on me but I'd really wanted to try the LL quad so that's what she went with. I believe she had used mostly the PP quad and Kittenish l/s which really looked nice on her with her dark brown hair. I told her she looked alot like Jacqueline from Housewives of NJ but prettier. She had her hair styled the same way. She said she normally never wears dark lips and I told her I never have and wasnt sure it would look right but I'd said I'd try it. Funny thing is she said she wouldnt look at herself in the mirror because she was afraid to as she didnt like the dark l/s
tong.gif
. I told her over and over though it looked really nice. So she did a light version with the LL quad and used blacktrack to line my upper and lower but what no m/a has ever done is she lined my waterline with blacktrack. When I looked in the mirror to see what she'd done I was WOW that looks soooo pretty! She showed me how to do a wing as I told her I always have issues partly due to the brush I use and because I have a heavy....brow area that hangs over...Hooded eye I guess you'd call it. She used a very small angled brush to do it and it looked so nice! She tried Pet me Please blush but then switched to Utterly Game and I really like it
greengrin.gif
. She then used Powerful and on top Docile and it looked really pretty. I'd never thought to use such a different gloss with that lippie
greengrin.gif
. Then for fun we tried Cunning and the darker gloss. I think I could pull it off but the Utterly Game blush was throwing it off so we went back to the Powerful lippie.

After she finished it up I then went to try out all the other products. I took the Burmese Beauty over to compare it to Club and honestly I dont think Club is like BB. Club has reddish brown undertones which I didnt see in BB at all. Also I tried out Spree and it's not patchy on me and I may very well get that gloss as well as Wildly defined. I would've gotten Docile but I thought it was too close to Icescape that I own(even though it leans more blue) to warrant getting it right now. I tried almost all the liners and love them all. I also swatched Bloodline and can't say that I really like it. It kinda looked like soot on me so I passed. Lilthe just looked like Naked to me like others have said. I already have a sample of Antique Green that my friend gave me so I don't need that and I forgot to swatch Mauvement. LOL!! I'll have to try that out tomorrow.

So what I came home with:

LL quad
Smoky Heir
Aristo-cat
Drive Me Wild

I really loved the PP quad which I didnt think I would at all and BB so I may get those soon....maybe one more tomorrow and if I can get extra hours at work I'll get the other one in a couple weeks if it's still available. I would really like to get Utterly Game too but have to figure out if I can afford it or not.

Does anybody know if the superslick liners are waterproof / waterresistant?

My eyes water easily and nothing looks worse than colorful lines above my crease just because the cold or the sun or the wind are irritating my eyes.

To give you an example, MAC liquidliners are totally waterproof on me, powerpoint eye pencils are waterresistant, pearlglide liners too but less than the powerpoints and the regular eye khol (Feline for example) doesn't do the job.

Well, I swatched Treat Me Nice on my hand... Washed my hands several times and showered and then realized it was still there and rubbed it off.

Just got back from the mall! Here are my thoughts on this collection:

Palace Pedigreed:

Quad: The quad looks really nice and all of the colors swatched beautifully but I'm not a huge fan of Satin eyeshadows and I'm somewhat a fan of Matte eyeshadows so I skipped it since Caviar Dreams Quad will be mine from Cham Pale.

Lipsticks: Of Royalty reminded so much of All Styled Up from ITG and I ordered it since I couldn't resist that color and should've skipped it. Superior is so pretty!! This was my first time swatching a Dazzle lipstick and of course I passed on it. Cunning is amazing! Even though I have never purchased a dark lipstick before and this would look amazing on any skintone! Aristo-Cat is pretty but you know I avoid Frost lipsticks that are too frosty at all times and usually I only go for the ones that doesn't apply like a Frost.

Lipglass: Docile looked similar to Icescape l/g in which I already own and passed on it. Best of Breed is like Chillin except it has some shimmers. Passed on it as well. Lap of Luxury is nice! Again, I don't own any dark lipglasses (I don't know why) and it reminded me of Desire l/g.

Pet Me Mineralize Blush: That blush is pretty but when I swatched it, I wasn't wowed at all. I thought I was going to get this but decided to pass on it.

Pigments: didn't bother to swatch them.

Brushes: didn't get to see what they looked like.

Leopard Luxe:

Quad: Amazing!!! Loved the colors! I'm glad that I ordered it last night since that was the only quad that I really wanted. The colors swatched beautifully and Notoriety e/s is pigmented!!

Lipstick: Drive Me Wild is gorgeous!! I'm so glad that I ordered it online and cannot wait to get it!! Powerful is pretty but some people say that it's similar to Infused With Glam l/s so I passed. Out Minxed is a gorgeous gold color but since it's a Glaze, I rarely wear Glaze lipsticks so I skipped. The Prowl wasn't so bad and also it's a great color to pair it with Spree l/g.

Lipglass: A Quiet Roar somewhat reminds me of Almondine l/g that I rarely use now a days and I imagine sitting in my drawer for months and not being used so I passed. Wildly Refined is like Cha Cha's autumn sister (like Erin said) and it's pretty! This was the one that I got! Schemer is gorgeous!! I almost tempted myself to get it but I'm thinking about it right now if I should get it or not since I own Gold Rebel l/g.

Utterly Game Mineralize Blush: It's a nice peach color and Peaches is almost close and comparing it with Ripe Peach, it's a tad bit lighter. I passed on it since Peaches blush is on my list that I'm going to get soon.

Pigments: Lithe is pretty but since I'm looking for Blonde's Gold pigment, I skipped it. Old Gold is pretty and I wish I owned it in the original jar.

Brushes: See Palace Pedigreed

Burmese Beauty:

Quad: The Quad is amazing but one thing is that Burmese Beauty e/s is almost like Club e/s in which I have planned to get sometime soon in pan form. I also like Skintone 2 e/s and Showstopper e/s.

Lipsticks: Kittenish is amazing!!! It's almost close to Hang Up l/s and I thought about getting this lipstick but I'm on the fence about it right now. Liquid Lurex looks pretty! My aunt has it and the color is so pretty! Pet Me Please is pretty but a bit too frosty for my taste. To Pamper is like Call My Bluff l/s and since I haven't bought a Lustre lipstick in so long, I much prefer CMB over TP.

Lipglass: Jealous is freakin' gorgeous!!!! I'm so happy that I ordered it and going to try it with Lollipop Loving! Spree is pretty but Wildly Refined won me over. Fancy Cat is nice but didn't interest me though when I swatched it.

The Soft Meow: This blush would look like it'll blend in with my skintone like my Solar Riche Bronzer so I passed.

Pigments: Gold Stroke is pretty! The other day I used it in the crease with Tan pigment and it looked stunning. So glad to own this in the original jar. Antique Green is also pretty! Glad to own this in the original jar as well.

Brushes: See Palace Pedigreed


Lat but not least......
Superslick Liquid Liners are amazing!!!!!! Those were the only ones that stood out to me. I'm thinking of getting all of them soon! I loved all the colors and my favorite ones are On The Hunt, Marked For Glamour, Pure Snow, Nocturnal, and Smoky Heir. At first I thought they wouldn't come off after I tried to remove them with MAC's Wipes and they were a breeze to take off.


This collection is okay. This is a bit better than Makeup Art Cosmetics but it's like Cult of Cherry collection all over again. I'm now done with this collection and will be waiting for Venomous Villains!!!

At the Nordstrom counter they told me the liners weren't permanent.
ssad.gif
Are we sure they are? I can't afford to buy all the ones I want right now, but they're gorgeous so I'm really hoping the people at Nordstrom were wrong.

I got Kittenish and Marked for Glamour. Love MfG, but I'm not too sure about Kittenish. I'm NW15. I'm going to give it another shot... but so far I just don't love it.

Yes they are perm. It was even verified to me this morning at the Macy's counter.

So I came across a little extra money which of course is burning a hole in my pocket ("Saving"? What's that? I am not familiar with this term). I'm going to place an order for a couple of the liners (probably Smoky Heir, On the Hunt, Marked for Glamour and mayyybe Signature Blue). I also keep going back to see if there's anything else I want from this collection that I might have skipped over the first time I ordered. The things I'm looking at are:

BB Quad - Is the BB eyeshadow the only real reason for getting this or are the other colors really great, too? Is getting Club instead a better idea?

To Pamper - The nudes I have are pinkish nudes like Blankety and Hue, nothing that leans more taupe-y. I like that it supposedy pulls a bit cool, since I have pretty fair, pink-toned skin and anything too brown or warm doesn't look all that great.

Kittenish (of course!) - I've been waffling over this for a while. It looks really pretty but I've also been looking at swatches of Media (perm) online since I keep reading that the two are similar. Anyone that has or has seen both: which would you get? I'd love to get both but I have to draw a line somewhere since I want quite a bit from VV and most likely TT and Cham Pale, too!

Any help with these would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks for the verification, that's awesome!

On a sadder note, I tried Kittenish again. I just don't love it. I think it makes me look a bit old.

YW and I feel the same as you do about the dark lippies. I cant figure out why though the m/a looked great with wearing it and she was about the same skintone as me 15/20. She said she wears the lightest shade of MAC foundation. She however as I'd said didnt want to look at herself in the mirror and when she did she immediately wiped it all off

You just confirmed I need atleast Night Violet, Charred Red/Media, Cyber and my long lust for Sin did not go away to say the least. I haven't bought a dark lippie over a year, so I can buy a couple...can't I?
graucho.gif
Btw, I just bought OCC LipTar in Vintage, I can't wait for it to arrive!

Fall and winter are the only seasons I want to wear dark lips. I have noticed I never wear them in spring or summer. It's like I rarely or never wear yellow eyeshadow in winter. Hmm. Maybe I should try it sometime!


I just got mine three days ago. Vintage is awesome!

Besides the liners, I think Pet Me Blush might be the must have for me. I can't always get light pinks to work for me. They are usually too cool for my skin tone. This one works though.
Also, all the pigments are great colors, especially Mauvement!

Powerful and Docile??? Who'd a thunk it? I don't have Docile but maybe Cherry Blossom would work instead. I'm going to try that combo. Thanks!

I meant to compare Club and Burmese Beauty but I forgot. Yikes!

Glamqueen21, After seeing your list, I thought I'd check out Superior l/s. I didn't know it was a dazzle l/s. I've gone crazy for those so I had to get it.
Lollipop Lovin' and Jealous??? I've been wanting to get Lollipop Lovin' but I'm just not sure it works for me. I wonder how these two look. The Prowl and Spree??? Hmm...I'll give that a try too. Thanks! I think the Pet Me Blush and Utterly Game go on darker than they look in the pan. At least on me they do. You are looking for Blonde's Gold? It is a Pro pigment. Do you mean you are looking for it in the old jar?

Question: Can you explain what you mean by this collection is like Cult of Cherry? Just curious. I know CoC had a lot of dark colors. I'm not a huge CoC fanatic like others. I only bought Spiced Chocolate quad and a few glosses. I do LOVE Creme Cerise lipstick. I have such a hard time with nude lipstick and this one really works for me.



Well, I went to check out the colors from the collection that I did not get in my online order. I added:

-Burmese Beauty quad
-Leopard Luxe quad
-Lap of Luxury l/g
-Superior l/s

Quads: I know many said they were dupable and they just may be but I like a go to quad. Sometimes I just don't have time to go through my stash to come up with combos and I think these will work.

Lap of Luxury - I have been curious with how this compares to Purple Rage. I put Purple Rage on the top lip and Lap of Luxury on the bottom. Purple Rage is much redder. It almost looks like a red color side by side. Lap of Luxury is more plummy and more sheer.

Someone asked about the #227SH brush a few pages back. I've been using it the past few days and I think I like it more than the full size version. The brush head is more oval in shape and flatter and allows for more precise application. It feels much softer on the skin. I mostly planned to keep this one for travel but I may be using this everyday.

After visiting the counter I went to Victoria's Secret and bought a few colors. They had their own version of dazzle lipsticks so I bought one of those. Also, one that looks like a dupe for Creme Cerise. Not sure yet. Also, I saw a color that is along the lines of Aristo-Cat but I think more wearable for me. The color looks really familiar so maybe it really a dupe for something else. I've never tried VS makeup before.

Yes, I'm looking for Blonde's Gold pigment in the old jar since I don't want the new jar. What I meant to say is that this collection reminds me of Cult of Cherry and regretting that I didn't get Spiced Chocolate Quad online.
