MAC - Fashion Flower Discussion

[quote name="LMD84" url="/forum/thread/173812/mac-fashion-flower-discussion/180#post_2096395"]well i have lucky green. i have haunting so therefore i don't need aqua and free to be is pretty but i can buy it any any time. i might buy the darker one though because that looks pretty. perhaps it will look like deep blue green pigment but in shadow form?
[/quote] I don't have Haunting but I do have Aqua and I can say that it's pretty kick ass. The quality is way beyond what I expected. At least give it a look . I hate Free to be and I have Lucky Green, soooo yeah.

Unfortunately I've seen many fake Dior palettes that have the same flower prints as their two Dentelle eyeshadow quints had last year, just in different colours. So you never know, those bastards go to a lot of effort just to sell their crap. Fakes are getting a lot more sophisticated nowadays, I've seen some Guerlain palettes that look very similar to the real ones, but the colours are different. You've really got to be careful.

this is a very good point! hopefully the fakers can't be bothered with imprints!

oh well that completely sucks! i guess they now stop at nothing to get money out of people

I wore Lucky Green and Humid the other day....love greens Can't wait to see a swatch of the green e/s in this collection. I don't have many so it may be a nice addition.

The green in this collection is actualy Lucky Green, so no new green I love green too and i really hoped this would be a new one.

^Aww, thx. Well, at least that's $14.50+tax saved for me

The allglam site has now names under them. They are Free To Be, Aqua, Lucky Green and the darker is new and doesn't have name yet. I'm not really interested in any of them.

but on the other hand - money saved... I have Lucky Green, I'm not a huge fan of FTB, so the only one I might be getting is Aqua.. but then again, I'd have to swatch it to know for sure

 

[sss215]

Aqua, Free to Be, and Lucky Green, all repromotes???? really? $$$ saved. colors you can get now, and in the pan form? really now MAC? as a matter of fact, 2 of these I can find at my CCO, in abundance!

The 4th color looks a little like Oomph from Mickey Contractor to me. I wonder... money saved... the collection so far seems like such a waste of eyeshadow opportunities.

 

[Lisianthus]

Ugh! Not Free to Be again! I've passed it over every time it's been released. I'm not going to buy it just because it has some flower embossed on it. Let's hope the rest of this collection is better. Otherwise, this will be another collection I'll be passing on.

 

[zewzeq]

I don't know about the rest of this collection but I probably won't get any eyeshadows from this one if those are really from this collection. I might change my mind after swatches tough.

 

[queen_kitty]

Well, that's dissapointing! But if somebody hasn't gotten Lucky Green yet, I want to full-heartedly recommend it! It's gorgeous and a dream to apply! One of my favorite shadows hands-down.

 

[xtootsiexo]

The dark green colour is called Bows & Curtseys ""'"''edffffegtrhrehhhhhh'hfffhffffgh"

 

[xtootsiexo]

The dark green colour is called Bows & Curtseys. and allglam says that on Monday they'll be "releasing" photos of white and grey eyeshadows

 

[LMD84]

yes lucky green is an amazing shadow so for those who don't own it already do think about it! it is very pigmented and such a lovely green!

 

[katred]

Harumph. FTB, Lucky Green and Aqua are all permanent in pro stores anyway (I think LG might now be permanent in others stores as well, but I'm not sure of that.). Bit of a disappointment there. That said, the only one of the three that I have is Lucky Green, so maybe I'll pick the others up as well. Or maybe I'll wait... Not feeling inspired either way, really.

Absolutely on board with the Lucky Green love! It's a stunning slightly yellow green that goes with a lot of different looks. (I wore it with purples the other day.) The colour payoff asnd texture are amazing. One of my very favourite greens.

I don't have any of the colours, so I don't mind if they're repromotes but if they're currently available and some of them available in pan form, it's a bit shoddy on MAC's part, no? I would definitely prefer to buy in pan form, as I'm keeping mine in palettes. I do love the flower embossment though

 

[Snarkling]

I'm pretty sure that was available in one of the Tartan Tale palettes before Christmas. I didn't get that particular palette, but it did look like a nice colour. Not sure if I need it though, since it looks pretty similar to NARS' Night Porter, which I have and love. This collection is turning into kind of a bust for me.

It was in the Twists of Tartan Pallet, from what I remember it did seem to be similar to blue green pigment though apparently its on the sheer side and you have to layer it quite a bit.

So far the eye shadows are kind of disappointing IMHO, though it would be a nice catch up for newer people or a nice break for those of us that spend to much.

 

[Face2Mac]

So far I can skip but I'm not really sure if I am happy or sad about it.

Someone at headquarters must really love Free to be because they are determined to make us love it even though it apparent that if we wanted it, we could've had it by now. Free to Be=Deep Truth

LOL! I was about to say that FTB looked nothing like Deep Truth, then I figured out what you meant. You're absolutely right, in that it's been promoted a few times in the last year. It might have been nice to see them promote Coral, which is lesser known and a bit different- it leans more orange where Free To Be leans more pink. I actually think that Coral is the more distinctive colour in their range, but that's just me.

I'll be curious to see what the white and grey shadows are. I can't imagine that the white could be all that different, but who knows? I'm a real sucker for greys. Plus we've heard nothing about lippies. So I'll wait to see whether this is a skip or not.

So far Lucky Green, Aqua and Free To Be are the eyeshadows in this collection? I need to get Lucky Green soon in pan! I have been wanting that eyeshadow for awhile and I'm also going to get Free To Be in pan soon. I'm hoping that the grey and white eyeshadows are new colors.
