MAC Pret a Papier Discussion

[Susanne]

I passed e/s Memorabilia twice with the Originals collection and with Ungaro - so I think I can skip it a third time

 

[Miss QQ]

I don't know about this collection too. I must have missed it. Anyway I think I can pass this collection because nothing has caught my eye. Just maybe Dressmaker, Dressmaker. What is the model wearing on her lips in the promo? Made to Order or Dressmaker, Dressmaker?

 

[Junkie]

Need to see swatch (corals are my weakness when it comes to blush)

Instant Chic - Mid-Tone Muted Coral

Did anyone else automatically scream OMGNEWPAINTPOT?! Haha, I totally did! Definate YES!

Coral Crepe - Soft Coral


These look so pretty - swatch first though!

Dressmaker, Dressmaker - Creamy Light Peach Coral (Lustre)
Made To Order - Creamy Mid-Tone Dirty Coral (Lustre)
( lol, and Kraft? Is MAC allowed to use that and not get in trouble? hahaha)

I always get a few eyeshadows - I'll have to see swatches of the first two, but I'm definately getting Memorabilia!

Tissue Weight - Frosted Pale Peach (Frost)
Cut To Fit - Frosted Red-Bronze (Frost)
Memorabilia - Dirty Purple (Matte)

On reconsidering, I'll just look at the NC15/NW20 Chromagraphic Pencil. That's it.

just dressmaker, dressmaker and archetype lipsticks for me. MAY check out gazette grey eyeshadow, but I never seem to like the texture of velvets. (With the exception of vanilla of course...)

i agree - i'm not a massive fan of the velvet texture either.

There's something about the texture of them that reminds me of running your fingers down a blackboard *cringe*

Give me a veluxe pearl any day

Frosts ARE rather lovely. In fact I think nearly half of my MAC shadow collection is made up of frosts

they come in a range of shades, but not all are being released in this collection. just like with AA, AR, AS, only 2 blot powders were released, and we all know there's more than just the two.

honestly, i have no idea. that's what i'm thinking, but at our winter update when these were mentioned, the collection and products were all pending, so they didn't really discuss anything about it.

i agree! c-thru is nasty, and i cringe anytime someone asks for it at the counter. i wanna gag when they actually put it on!

I hate it when they do that! Tsk, tsk!

 

[HOTasFCUK]

I think i'm really going to love this collection even more when i see swatches and more pics. My pnly disappointment is that there is not a really nice coral pigment by MAC. Wish they would have done one for this collection. Something more shimmery and not as intense as Electric coral from PRO.

 

[AudreyNicole]

Aww man, I was looking forward to C-Thru. What don't you guys like about it?

 

[Babylard]

^ i hate c thru too! its so hard to apply and just doesnt look right at all. and i think its starting to smell plastic-y. honestly, ive only used it a few times with a lipbrush to make my lipcolor look more milky and lighter.

Elegant, you have it already? I have been wanting it for some time, and figured I would pick it up with this collection, or before... So you like it? Do you think I would? Do you wear it alone or over lipstick?

I've had mine for a long time. It's a milky ivory with some pearly slight gold or pearly shimmer. Its pretty. I wear mine by itself, although I think it would be a nice over a pink, peach lippie. I think you you would like it. My stuff doesn't settle into my lips where you can see lines - I don't know if thats why some don't like it. It's an everyday gloss.
