MAC MAC Is Beauty Collection (March 30 / April 2, 2015)

[Dolly Snow]

As many fluidline as there were with this collection you would think Mac would have made a new purple. I think this a missed opportunity, I would have love a bright violet shade. But I like the selections of blues and greens. In any case.

I would have loved a bright violet and lavender too.

Interesting that Temptalia gave this collection a pretty bad review. She actually says that all the lustres lipsticks are a miss.

Other people may think differently though...I will still check out the collection in stores

T seems to think lack of pigmentation = miss. That's not always true since lustres are suppose to be somewhat sheer. Liba gave a really great description of what they are and what they do for your lips in one of last year's spring collection thread (sorry I can't remember which one it is!). Liba said it's suppose to make your lips "juicy and youthful" so it doesn't seem fair to say these lustres are a miss just because they aren't as opaque or pigmented compared to satin/matte or retro matte lipsticks.

One in the shade of lavender jade would have been beautiful....

thank you for sharing Did she specify where? Meaning is it the Nordstroms's launch we anticipate or did they change yet again the Mac online launch?

Gorgeous. Thanks so much. I guess I'll  just need to use a lighter hand with those shades.

You're welcome! :wink:

OMG!! I am such an idiot...I thought I was talking about the red Fluidline! Lol! I meant that the red was an "us color" Mandy, not the lipstick. Lol! :haha:

LOL, I was talking about the fluidline, too!

I thought I could easily skip this collection but that Looking Good fluidline is making me second guess myself. I hope it doesn't sell out quickly because I won't have the funds but who am I kidding, it's gorgeous.

I wonder if I need Looking GOod, or would wear it. Remember the colorful paint pots they brought out a few years ago? Well I don't even wear those.

I think looking good would get more use than the usual fun colored ones! It will look really nice paired with marsalesque type neutrals and gold tones!! I am hoping it has a deeper quality to it being burgundy and not red !!

It shouldn't sell out too fast, reg packagaing collections stay around longer.

I so agree with you. They are very pretty applied lighter allowing your natural lip shade to kind of show through. I think they are pretty that way. Liba was very right

I'm still hanging tight to my in-store purchase for these. Want to swatch and see how they look on my skintone.

It's overwhelming, isn't it? I say start with Diva-ish, and Alpha girl ---if you don't have that BP.
