yes i think it came out with the originals collection a few years ago. i'm not so keen on the texture but that could be just me.

i think i can skip the entire collection except the coral paint pot.
but will have to see it in person to decide.

i would have been cool if the packaging was as shown in promo pic

After buying my first paint pot this week (I know, so late to jump on that bandwagon!), I can officially remove Coral Crepe from my list. No amount of gorgeous colour can make up for how tragically these crease on me...bummer

I don't know about others, but I do like it. It's good because it is muted purple, cool toned and greyish and that makes it so versatile.

Did you use a primer underneath?

Yes, I've tried both with and without primer. UDPP makes it last maybe an extra hour of two, but they still crease within about 3 hours

That sucks, I use mine with UDPP and it last almost 12 hrs when I go to work!

That's too bad.

I think I might skip this whole collection in favor of saving for To the Beach. I kinda want the coral paint pot, but coral is not a color I EVER wear on my eyes, so I'm kinda not seeing the point.
I like Cut To Fit e/s, but I have about a million e/s colors similar to it, so I think I probably don't need that either!

 

[shontay07108]

I am about to explode waiting for this collection. I want pretty much the whole damn thing. I hope they release it early!

I can definitely see why based on the color descriptions! They look like they'll be dynamite on you!

Sometimes I wish I was more narrow minded when it comes to makeup. My taste is all over the board. I love neutrals and I love color. Not to brag or sound conceited, but a lot of different colors work on me. A lot of colors I think might look crazy actually work. It's fun and exciting, but it's also so damn expensive!

I was told recently by a Mac MA that my skin is neutral. I was kind of disappointed. I was hoping to be one or the other. A couple of years ago, another Mac MA told me I'm cool.

I can never tell on my own when reading descriptions. I think, if anything, I'm neutral.

I'm very excited for this collection! The packaging looks fabulous. I'm really loving all these neutral collections they're throwing at us.

It's just normal packaging. That promo pic was just to show the inspiration for the collection.
