MAC - Holiday 2008 "Red She Said" Discussion

[Face2Mac]

They do want these to sell right? So why would they put the same silver or coppery/orangey/gold color is each one, to have to make me choose just one of each.

 

[clwkerric]

Pardon my dislike but ... Those MES look like CRAP.

Booo on those! Yay on some other stuff in the collection!

 

[darkishstar]

Only the lipsticks are jumping out at me.
BLAH on the MES.

Which is a good thing though, more money saved!

 

[KikiB]

I actually like the pink and the blue trios, but whether I get them or not remains to be seen. Now the Red She Said lippie is gorgeous, and I will for sure get it. Quiet Please though...while I love the Lustre lipsticks, it would probably wash me out.

 

[newagetomatoz]

Kinda goes without saying, but I want the red trio MES. The others look..okay. But I'd rather snag one at my CCO than pay full price for something I probably won't use that often.

 

[rocking chick]

The new mes trios definately looks more glittery. Out of the 6, I only like the navy blue/brown/copper trio and the purple trio. But still I am buying everything.

 

[imperfectbeauty]

The only mes trio that i really like is the red black and silver one. Other then that the other ones look dupable or almost repromotes of ones that have already come out.

 

[rocking chick]

I really hope MAC will release something similar to Flashtronic mes again. The new mes are a bit disappointing.

 

[Moxy]

Pheeew, so relieved i don't like anything

None of the MES look to die for so I'm sticking with my eyeshadows that are in my traincase so far. And I just can't pull off a red lipstick, I think I look ghastly with any shade of red on my lips.

Only pinks and nudes for my lippies please

Or I might pick up the brushes, not sure about that yet, gotta go check which brushes are in the sets

 

[wheresmytea]

I wish I'd seen that black and red one before I bought Hot Contrast.

 

[Moxy]

Just seen the brushes, I already have 217 and 212 and I had 209 but sold it because I preferred the 212. So no brushes for me either

Yes, but this is just one brush set! There are usually two sets, one for the eyes and one for the face

 

[Moxy]

Ooooh you're right, I totally forgot about the face set! Heehee thanks, there's still some hope left for me and this collection afterall

 

[glam8babe]

No, I expected the same. Some kind of Marlene Dietrich inspired stuff.
A black liquid eyeliner, eyeshadows that go well with a thick black line, false lashes, red lipsticks... Something along those lines. At least that was what I had in my head after seeing the promo picture.

Thanks for the pictures. Is Red She Said a pinkish red?

 

[jenntoz]

I was going to pass on all of these, but after thinking about it I decided to get the red/black/silver combo. I passed on Hot Contrast only because I wanted to be sure I would get one with a lot of red & I think this is the same thing & I won't have to worry about getting one with a lot of red, lol, since they all will have half red

Nope, I thought the same. I guess from the pictures we saw in the other Red She Said Discussion (the one that we can't discuss in)...

I didnt even really expect there to be MES in this collection. thats lame. I won't be buying any. I'm not a MES freak, i only have Sea and Sky, so I can save some money here.

 

[lethaldesign]

I'm definitely disappointed in the trios. What's with half of them having the same color in the middle & the other half having another same color in the middle? They look boring to me.

But Red She Said lippie... that's another story!!! MAC is pumping out some awesome red lippies this year!
