MAC for Chen Man Collection Discussion

[lyseD]

Budding Love lipglass is off my list, not a fan of the milkiness.

But I'm still not sure about Force of Love lipstick -- I have WMS and quite like it but are they different enough for both?

The fact that I am dropping BL lipglass makes me think I am SAVING money so should go for Force of Love. haha

 

[Tatyiona]

my small haul is on my blog

That's true (and they always look better on her than me), but the CM lippies still look sooo lovely that I'm getting the both sets.

FA is a difficult colour, but pink lavenders/purples are so much easier, like Playtime (pure looove!).
 

Yeah, I might need to check out BL in person. The appealing aspect is that it's a lustre, so it allows lip pigmentation to really mesh with it. I'm not a fan of the l/g, though. I think if I do end up hauling BL, I'll stick with Narcissus or Comfort & Joy to layer.

I am going to get BL l/s, but I am also passing on the l/g most likely. From the swatches I've seen, it barely looks like there is any purple to it, just another milky blue based pink. Famously Fab l/g from TdF is what I wanted it to be like which is a true purple lavender color with barely any pink.

I hauled from this collection on Thursday. I got Buddling Love l/s and l/g and Force of Love l/g. The pigmentation on all 3 lippies are great. I didn't get the Force of Love l/s because I'm on a pink lipstick ban. I also thought that the lipgloss would work with the tons of bright pink matte lipsticks I've bought in the last 3 months.

I'm going to get Force of Love lipstick and lipgloss. I missed out on Watch Me Shimmer. They look similar to me, but with different finishes.

 

[LMD84]

i'm still skipping i think.

Having now seen swatches, if I buy anything from this collection it will be just the Force Of Love lipgloss

Me too. FoL l/g is a definite buy. I'm still somewhat taunted by Budding Love, but my gut tells me that Pink Popcorn will be a more suitable lavender lipstick for me.

 

[singer82]

FoL gloss is awesome. I totally agree. And I dont have a gloss like it! I think I'll still get BL and PP. I dont mind having two variations of this kind of color.

[lyseD]

I'm getting both lipsticks and Force of Love l/g.

Budding Love looks pinker to me in all the swatches I've seen and I think Pink Popcorn is going to be purpler. Hope so.

[PixieDancer]

Same here. I ordered FoL lipstick and gloss... they are on their way to me. I also missed WMS but it's off my list officially now with this lipstick (along with VGN and Party Parrot in my stash). Not money saved, it's money transferred! HeeHee

[Piarpreet]

Not at all. It's a great neutral color for those who like golds and taupes with a hint of pink. It will be an awesome product for a neutral day, especially if you are NW.


But I'm surprised you are not jumping on the blues and purples. Are you becoming a neutral gal?

actually yeah....im more of a bright lippie girl since a year

Then I'd say go for Supersweet, though it seems that MES are hanging around much longer on the website these days.

 

[Miss Dynamite]

I still can't decide what I want to buy, it's frustrating me. I'm pregnant so I have a very specific amount of money that I can spend on makeup every month and I can't go over that amount...so I'm deciding between getting Supersweet and Inez or skipping one (or both) to get more stuff next month and in April. =(

 

[xasperadastra]

I've decided to skip this collection! there's nothing unique for me.. the things I may like are all permanent... money saved!

I have both and they are very similar.. I wore FOL on my top lip and WMS on bottom.. honestly I didn't see a difference in a color!

 

[LittleMaryJane]

Hm. Totally uninspired by the mes's although they are kind of pretty colors... Still.. Just eh to me. And I think I'm done buying lipglass. I'm so rarely blown away by glosses of any kind.

 

[cocolicouss]

This collection will be a skip for me I feel like I have similar stuff and I'm still broke from Shop/Cook

 

[MsHannahSB]

I don't own a lavender lipstick, so I'm tempted by it. Not sure if it would look crazy on me, though. I'm so pale...
