MAC - MAC Me Over Discussion

[Piarpreet]

its not on mac pro site

So is this collection already in the pro stores? I am going to be traveling near one tomorrow, and I may stop buy if I can pick up a few things.

 

[Nicala]

Anyone know when its officially launching in pro stores?

 

[commandolando]

It's usually released in pro stores a week before BUT everything is backstage & set up, if you know a MA there, they might sneak you back

Anyone know when its officially launching in pro stores?

Damn man, this collection has got me all over the place lol. I just cant set a list! Theres so many great collections coming this Fall. My coll isnt huge or anything but until I start making more money I need to cut down my lists as much as possible

So my FINAL list is...
Ohohoh l/s
Dark Envy f/l
Cakeshop s/s
Street Cool s/s
226 Brush
-Total: $89.00 not as bad as it was lol


Mythical- is close enough to the copper one from Tartan Tale
Lady Grey Quad- Its lovely, but not a must have
Social Light- I need to use the glosses I have now

Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky and theyll still be around later

 

[singer82]

Now you get a chance to get something simular to the best shadow in the palette.

 

[LMD84]

exactly! woo hoo!

Oh I am torn about the evil eye quad...one of the earlier swatches made it look very pigmented and a couple of the shadows looked almost duo-chrome but the latest swatches show the shadows looking very patchy

Now that my list is growing does anybody think any of the following might be dupes...

Mythical = mythology
oh oh oh lipstick = o
runway red = russian red or ruby woo
seaside ccb = hush
stunner blush = possibly Nars orgasm
The pink and purple shadows from evil eye quad = a Nars duo that I dont know the name of (not much help I know!)

What do you think?

^^ Temptalia mentioned in the comments that Runway Red is not like Russian Red, it's less bright. (Although I would not call RR bright)

Caravaggio?? (Italian painter, of course XD)

They are not alike at least what I can see from pictures of Stunner, Nars Orgasm is peachier, darker and has that gold shimmer to it.

In all swatches seaside looked like hush. I'm sure there is a difference when you see it in person, but probably not a big one.

Vampy Varnish has done a look using some of the products. Loving the lipstick! Stunner looks lovely, and so does Mythical

Caravaggio?? (Italian painter, of course XD)

yep...thats the one..I compared online swatches and caravaggio seems brighter and with more shimmer. Evil eye loks deeper, darker and more of a matte finish
I hope that the evil eye shadows look like yuki's swatches cause they look fab!

 

[Miss QQ]

I'm excited to see Lady Grey quad, Mythical and Moleskin in person! I may get them if I like the texture and colour payoff. I haven't been excited for a Mac collection for a long time.

 

[ARmakeupjunkie]

I guess I'm the only one that wants Evil Eye Quad.

I asked Yuki if she has used a base...but she said she didn't... don't know what to think about the evil eye but since I already have vile violet (matte purple), I'm going to buy at last one pigment from Cindy Sherman (probably similar to the veluxe pearl shade in the quad) and I can find better bourgundy colors than Palace Pedigreed I'll skip that quad... Lady Gray is more unique IMO

 

[PinkBasset]

Anyone had a chance to compare Moleskin to Wedge, Cork, Omega, Kid etc?

[/quote] Nope, you are not alone.

Nope, Not at all.

 

[RayannaBanana]

Karla Sugar has some swatches up. Stunner is not coral at all, so I'll be skipping it.
