MAC Pret a Papier Discussion

[teeezyy]

im one of the very few that will be skipping this collection. its a good thing though, because i want all of the pearlglides from the art supplies collection!

yes, i know.. im a little behind on the collections. i was waiting til prep for colour collection launched so i can pick up everything at once! ill probably look through the GMLOL collection again because blue india is so tempting!

 

[lovesongx]

I've just gone through my list for this collection and cut out Made To Order and Dressmaker, Dressmaker. I have Ever Hip from LOL and I doubt I'll wear coral lips enough to justify having 3 coral lipsticks.
I also cut out Memorabilia and Gazette Grey, I don't really need them going by the swatches I've seen so far.
I've removed the paintpot I had on there too (Groundwork I think!) since I've just bought 3 GPS, and they're going to get used instead of sitting in a drawer!!

Ok, from this collection, I'm most likely am going to get Coral Crepe paint pot and maybe Dressmaker, Dressmaker l/s, Fold & Tuck l/g and Tissue Weight e/s. If the lipstick, lipglass, and eyeshadow are not worthy enough for me, then I'll just stick with just the paint pot.

My haul for this collection, pending swatches, is larger than any other MAC collection in the past. I've only been a MAC addict for about a year now, but, trust me, this is a big haul for me!

Dressmaker, Dressmaker l/s (B2M)
Made to Order l/s ($14)
Fold & Tuck l/g ($14)
Instant Chic blush ($18.50)
MAYBE:
Gazette Grey e/s ($14.50)
Tissue Weight e/s ($14.50)

Coral Crepe p/p sounds SO PRETTY, but I really can't justify another paintpot other than Painterly right now just to have another base, and I'm not sure how much use a coral p/p would be, anyway. Anyone have any idea how it may affect colors on top of it? That's the only way I can be wooed into buying it (and, yes, I want to be wooed! coral = love for me).

I've been doing the same thing, cutting down my list for this one, and there is a good chance I won't be getting anything here.

I was interested in Tissue Weight, Gazette Grey and Memorabilia e/s as well as Archetype and Dressmaker, Dressmaker l/s (I didn't end up liking the colour of the real life swatches for the l/s').

The only maybe's so far but leaning more no is Gazette Grey...maybe Memorabilia. But so far they aren't exciting me as I thought they would.

I would LOVE to know what possible dupes there are for Tissue Weight, Gazette Grey and Memorabilia.

 

[Civies]

Instant Chic for sure for me. I'm undecided on on coral crepe paint pot. Decisions decisions ..

 

[hawaii02]

Definitely wanting the paint pot and maybe a few of the lip products...but have to see what those are like on my hand

 

[LMD84]

just coral crepe for me... and that is only if i have enough spare money for it!

 

[Kirsty]

Nothing for me!

 

[aeroerin]

Wow, I guess I'm in the "HOLY CRAP NUDES AND CORALS! AAAHHH! YAAAY!" side of things.

I'm gonna echo what other people have said, though, and say that the cream/beige "packaging" in the promo image would have been awesome. I probably would be tempted to buy the whole collection! (oops, I think I can hear my wallet wailing from here!)

Okay ladies as if we didn't know we already wanted Instant Chic Blusher - here's to add more to the excitement.

I was in MAC yesterday, and the MA started pulling out the products & promo images andshowed me the blusher whilst exclaiming it's like if Dainty & Melba had a baby

All I can say is STUNNING

ooohhh sounds very very nice!

I want the coral paint pot for sure and maybe Gazette Grey, Tissue Weight and Cut to Fit, depending on swatches IRL. My wallet rejoices!

sounds pretty..but i'm on major blush overload. The only thing being used as of late is RP, AB, and P&P...maybe I should hide them so I can use all the others in my collection.

Hopefully, I plan to only walk out of pro with the paintpot in hand...wish me luck!

Those are two of my favorite blushes! I wasn't even interested in Instant Chic before but now I have to check it out. So far my list is just the three new eye shadows and maybe the blush.

 

[HOTasFCUK]

Any new swatches for this??? I want to see more of the lipsticks and lipgloss!

From this collection my wants are Gazette Grey and Instant Chic. Usually I look feverish in corals (not the look I'm going for), I dunno what the craic is with that as I can normally wear cools, neutrals and warms easily.. It's just corals and light blues that don't look too good on me. But I'm hoping that Instant Chic isn't too corally for me. It looks definitely pretty in swatches though!

Not getting any of the lip stuff, so far Fresh Salmon is the only coral lipstick I can wear without looking like poop, and that's because it's not a full-on coral, it's actually quite rosy pink on me. Dressmaker, dressmaker might work.. but I refuse to think about it, I want to save money

I also own Fresh Salmon, and I think it's not as coral, either. it's more of a pinky-red with coral undertones on me--of course, I also have heavily pigmented rosy lips.

But, then again, corals are my groove.

this collection is right up my alley!

ITA, pinky-red-coral is pretty much what it looks like on me, and I also have very pigmented lips. The coral is not too overpowering.

The weird thing is though, if I wear Fresh Salmon with any other blush than Joie-de-Vivre, it looks wrong. Same goes for JDV, if I pair it with any other lipstick than Fresh Salmon, it looks like feverish flush. But together they are amazing

I'm wearing them today (with Blanc Type on lid & Free To Be in crease), and even in the terrible bright supermarket lighting, it looked gooood. Such a shame that I can't make them work with anything else.. Well, I'll have to accept that they're inseparable.
