MAC - Peacocky discussion

[cutemiauw]

Went hauling for a second time and got Unflappable and Super. Originally wanted to get So Vain but it's not as great as Super with my complexion. I'm not sure why. Too much coral perhaps. Super is a pretty nude pink.
Unflappable is looking like a plummy purple on me. I love it. Going to try it paired up with Odalisque.

I hope I'm done with the collection now. I like Noir Plum and SoY but I can live without them. Also I think I would never need to buy another teal eyeshadow. Odalisque is going to last me a lifetime

For anyone looking for Woo Me Kissable Lipcolour, I was able to find it through the MAC customer service number: 800-387-6707. It is sold out on the US site but they were able to locate it for me. Hope this helps someone!

I see sawatches of Prance and it looks so pretty and I can see it going well with lots of colors but wondering if its too frosty for my older eyes. Any thoughts on the frostyness from ya'll that have it?

i got my peacocky haul today! it was a mini haul (3 e/s, 2 l/s) and here are my thoughts...

prance - ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. my favourite item of my haul and it really surprised me because i didn't expect it to be! i actually expected to regret this a little bit but it's amazing. buttery soft and soooo blendable too. actually considering a back up as i can see myself wearing this everyday in a neutral eye.

spectacle of yourself - the item i THOUGHT would be my favourite! this was the one i coveted all along and the colour doesn't disappoint. it's lush. even if i find this difficult to pull off colourwise, it's totally unique to my (beginners'!) collection and so, so beautiful.

mating call - BIG disappointment. i wanted to love this. i thought i would & that it would be probably the easiest item to work with as any shade of purple/in the purple family usually works really well with my colouring. it seems really sheer in comparison to the other two? i had to work harder to build the colour up, anyway, and the texture was nowhere near as smooth and soft as the others. this makes me a sad panda because i SO wanted to love it. oh well, i'll try and work with it for now, and if we're still not getting on i'll part with it eventually i guess...

l/s wise, i got:

woo me - i was so afraid this would be too beige-toned but omg it's purrrrfect. looks really blah in the tube but looks perfect on - a really easy, wearable nude. considering backing this up!

enchantee - i asked myself if i needed another blue-toned pink, esp as i have gaga l/s and l/g.... the answer is i definitely do. i really, really love this shade on me. it brings out my cool tones and is another backupworthy item imo!

also, i mixed enchantee and woo me together (one lip woo me, one lip enchantee, just so i could compare and contrast, then mixed) and it's a total 'my lips but better' colour <3

Any ideas with which colours I could pair Dalliance with? I don't want to pair it with greens... (the obvious choice) and my mind doesn't work properly...

I think it could work with so many shadow colours, honestly, but I am going to try it first with Satin Taupe, Quarry and Carbon - cooler neutrals. I think it would be gorgeous with browns like Cork and Espresso, too.

 

[Anneri]

Thank you!
Browns - I'll def do this!

I had high hopes that my black box with Center Stage and Love Peck would arrive today, but no luck. Booo!

Shadowaddict: I'm 33, and with the metallic effect you could see that I'm not 20 any longer when you were peering at my lids. BUT: the overall effect is gorgeous! The colour and sheen is to die for, and I decided not to mind. I use a PP underneath it, though, and hope that it makes the skin of my lids a bit smoother. hth!

It's interesting to see that different colours are selling out first in different countries. I'm curious to know whether it's a case of customers' tastes differing from country to country, or the amount of each product delivered to those countries by MAC.

I paired Dalliance with the darker browns from Naked Palette. I mixed them up as I see it on my lids, but I think it's mostly Hustle and Darkhorse. I thought it's going to be weird at first, since Dalliance has so much contrast against my skin... but it's gorgeous! Oh I also put Tweet Me on the crease to warm it up a little.

Oh I just saw Temptalia had a discussion on What to wear with Dalliance e/s? Plenty of nice idea there: http://www.temptalia.com/what-would-you-pair-with-mac-dalliance-eyeshadow

That's exactly what I was wondering...and I would love to know!

I heard Prance was the first one here and Woo Mes were flying off the shelf too. No wonder we didn't get Stylishly Yours

Also in Italy Stylishly yours didn't had much success (but I prefer it to cham pale or wonder woman!!!!) Tomorrow I'll know what peacocky products are sold out here; I know it's very difficult to find odalisque and flaunting it!

 

[marajode]

I just have to say, Geeko, you have the sexiest, smooshiest, glossiest, prettiest lip swatch pics ever.
Seriously!
How in the hell do you get your lips so smooth and perfect?????????

 

[marajode]

Thanks Marajode Glad you like it! I'm now at 12 e/s and 3 lippies and I still want more... help me!!!

 

[Fiberluver]

All,

Thanks for the suggestions!

I think I will try it with a blue tomorrow and a neutral lip. I wore it with Fresh Moroccan l/s and it was a little too much!

i am loviong the shadows! they really are buttery smooth and also i am loving the colours! today i am wearing dalliance on my lid, odalisque in the crease with shrrom shadow to highlight then i used mystery eye liner which goes nicely

 

[cutemiauw]

Thanks, hun! Odalisque is super pretty as a pop of colour - try a brown/neutral eye and use it to line the lower lashine, or wear it on your lid and mellow it out with colours like SoY, Unflappable in the crease/corners. You can also do a sheer look with Dalliance as the main colour and just use Odalisque to pop the corners. It's really pretty for a more vibrant blue look paired with Dandizette, and it is TO DIE FOR over Siahi Fluidline

Thank you for the tip Jenn! I'm going to try it out today

 

[LMD84]

i'm surprised at the amount of sell out shadows on the uk site already! i thought because of the more expencive price tag that they wouldnt go so quick.

Wow, 8 of the eyeshadows and one of the lippies (Woo Me) sold out already!

 

[JennsJewelz]

Only Dalliance and Prance are sold out online on the Canadian site! All the lip colours are still there. Thank heavens, because the second I make some more cash I'm investing in more lippies I think! I wonder how the stores are looking...
