MAC Pret a Papier Discussion

[shimmergrass]

yeah i guess mac brings out too many collection too quickly for people to get tooo excited.

i am lemming coral p/p but i must wait to see it in person.

Ok, so I took more pictures of Coral Crepe and Instant Chic. I am trying to show them as true as possible.

Coral Crepe in the pot, you can see very fine shimmer (not glitter!). When you swatch it, the shimmer is noticeable, but not obnoxious. It's a very soft peachy/pink color. Not harsh at all. I see this working on mostly all skintones. It goes perfectly with MtO and DmDm lipstick and Tuck and Fold lipglass.

Instant Chic in the pan looks like a pinky/peachy mix. Very flat, no shimmer at all. When you swatch it, it's not very sheer at all. It's a sheertone finish but it's quite pigmented on the hand. It's even powdery/chalky/dry. It may turn someone off if they don't know about the finish. I don't know how this compared to other Sheertone blushes. Having worn this today, though I can say there is absolutely no problems with application. It glides on, it's not patchy and it's a face brightening coral. It can fit right in with the lip products in the Spring Forecast collection that had Ripe Peach.However, Ripe Peach was more orangey and this has some pink to it. I still find it pigmented, though and I tap the brush before I apply it to my face.

I don't know if the one I tried at the store was a bad one but I just didn't like coarl crepe paint pot. It seemed to orange and not coral on me. I might give it a shot again when I go pick up my pre-order since so may people seem to love it.

cut to fit doesn't resemble amber lights either! as my swatches show, its close to antiqued. Quote:

sorry, this is wrong. its instant chic, with garb to contour and strobe creme as a highlight. Quote:

Thank you erine for clarifying!

I am so sold on Instant Chic now! And if GG is close to Saturnal, all the better, because I missed out on that (read: was too stupid to buy it) when Moonbathe was out.

 

[traxter]

does anyone know if fleur power is a dupe for instant chic blush? or how they compare?

 

[Karen_B]

Having not seen Instant Chic in person, I'd say Fleur Power is much more red/rusty in tone than IC. Instant Chic seems lighter, more pinky peach.

Now you all are making me curious about the blush. I might have to go in bare cheeked when the collection arrives, so I can try it on.

Good idea!
Do you know when this is coming to Sweden, 15th of May?

 

[LisaOrestea]

Isn't this the first collection in AGES that temptalia hasn't done swatches on?! I was hunting round her site and couldn't find any. Weird.

 

[LMD84]

^ perhaps she wasn't sent any of this collection so she has to wait to buy it when it's released!

Do I really need Light Over Dark if I have Format

Hello Ladies!

I just bought Format Blush and I loooove it. I wonder how I could have done without it in my life... I started to look at the coming Pret-à-Papier collection and wondering about getting Light Over Dark or not... Is it "similar" to Format?

For information, I am "on the darker side of NC50" and I never tried a mineralize blush by MAC.

Thanks for your help!

I tweeted with her, she said she has to wait to buy just like us.

I think the reason for the lack of buzz was because, when we first got info about this collection, most people were saying 'boring, skip for me, I'm waiting for To the Beach!'

Me, I was always in love with the promo pic and couldn't wait for this collection!
