MAC - Holiday 2008 "Red She Said" Discussion

[Miss QQ]

This collection is not here yet but I got the chance to play with dazzleglasses from the earlier collection this year that are placed in a beaker. They are used during makeovers there. I swatched baby sparks, sugarrimmed, date night and love alert. They are kinda sticky but all still have the nice vanilla smell. I want them all!

If you're trying to save cash and aren't worried about differences in finish, you don't need Stark Naked. The colour of the two blushes is pretty similar (not identical on my pale skin, mind you, but similar for sure). I prefer Stark Naked because it's cheaper, fits in a palette and I prefer the BPB finish, but that's me. I personally don't feel the need to go run out and grab Gentle - I've already got something like 26 MAC blushes at this point, and with colours that similar, I'm not going to worry too much about finish.

I agree. At first I thought Stark Naked was way too dark and too mauve... but if I use just the teeniest amount, it gives the most lovely pinky sheen. Just what I wanted!

And I'll have the blush forever since I use so little to get so much colour!

I'll probably end up staring madly in love at stark naked for the rest of the day

 

[Susanne]

I am excited since one year now - I hope I won't get a heart attach if I hold the stuff in my hands

I think I will open a bottle of dark redwine that evening and enjoy the holiday collections haul

Coffee would kill me after visiting the store
