Which location is this? They had them all in stock at the Eaton Centre freestanding store and the Bay earlier today. I'm considering Fold & Tuck... although I know I should just wait until To the Beach to go nuts on that one instead

It was at the Bay at the Eaton's Centre! I didn't bother to pop to the store because I was in a hurry; I'm picking up what I missed out on at the Bay in Windsor when I head home for a visit tomorrow

I'll wear it tomorrow and take pictures for you.

LOL weird. Maybe they had the testers out even though they were sold out. I know for sure I swatched F&T there.

On my skin tone, IC and RP look exactly the same with the EXCEPTION of RP being smoother on me and IC looking ashy. Though, I am glad its working out for you ladies!

I have been thinking alot about it, and as much as I love Instant Chic, I am satisfied with one. I don't think I will be buying a backup unless I can find it at the CCO later. It is a gorgeous, but not a color I will wear every single day, so I don't know that I would even finish it up. Most everyone here knows my love for neutral and pink cheeks, and I wear those colors most often, so I will stick with only 1 Instant Chic for now. I do love it though. And I wore Gazette Grey today and quite like it. It is MUCH more pigmented applied to my eyes with a brush, compared to simply swatched on my hand. I hope that those doubting it will give it a try

Strangely enough, they do leave their testers out even if it is sold out! They are the only location where I have seen tiny "sold out" stickers on products - they are hard to spot! The full line was out today (minus the paint pots and C-Thru, for which Florabundance was subbed), despite many many items being sold out.

Crap.

I was trying to avoid the eyeshadows in this collection, but it's just pointless. This is the kind of color my green eyes love, added to cart.

Double crap...well, at least now I get free shipping.

I still LOVE Ripe Peach. on me, Ripe Peach is more on the Peach side & Instant Chic is more sheer/light on the pink/neutral color side of peach

I LOVE CTF!!!!

I can see this becoming my new go to for everyday. TW is a lighter slightly pinker/corally version of naked lunch. I find it to be a little more opaque too. I've never bought a back up with MAC before ever. I think i'm going to break my back up virginity. These chromographic pencils are exactly what I've needed all these years!!! I hate white on the waterline but these are perfect! I love you MAC! Happy dance!!!!

I may get a back up of Gazette Grey!!! I used this with the coral crepe paint pot as a base, CTF on 2/3 of my lid, GG in the outer corner and crease. lined with DIRTY greasepaint stick. OMG!!!

I also played a bit with scrumptious olive under GG. WOW! it was easier to blend that way. i really like this color. its VERY unique. I am going to try to work this with some purples too. maybe even with expensive pink... we'll see. i love it.




Also. coral crepe does not come up that dark on me. it looks totally different swatched on people with lighter skin. i tried 3 different ones at three different MAC locations. very interesting, but a great color none the less.

Okay so this is my list:
-Made to Order lipstick
-Fold and Tuck lipglass
-Pret a papier lipglass
-Coral Crep paint pot
-Cut to Fit eye shadow

 

[aeroerin]

Ack, now I really want the lighter chromographic pencil and I want to swatch coral crepe p/p and gazette grey!
I was considering tissue weight, but with everyone saying that it has pink undertones, I think I'm gonna pass. Can anyone swatch it against Dazzlelight? (an e/s that I have that also has a pink flash on me)

 

[elegant-one]

Anyone know if Gazette Grey is even close to BB Fog es?

Based on what I saw/swatched earlier this week, it's got some sparkle (not shimmer, but random flecks) where Fog is matte. I can't think of another color that it is like, but that's my best estimate.....

I'm pretty sure the Chromagraphic pencils are going to stay as a permanent Pro product, so while not available everywhere they won't be gone forever once this collection sells out.

 

[shontay07108]

I'm about to head to Mac (and Nordstroms and Sephora

) and I have Made to Order on. I think I need another. I just can't imagine living without it. Instant Chic and Coral Crepe, I'll stick to one, but lipsticks and glosses are my main get pretty product and I feel so damn pretty wearing this lipstick. Besides, how many workable corals am I going to find for my complexion? So yeah, another MtO for me.

 

[wetwater]

can someone swatch the chromagraphic pencils on their waterline? or perhaps swatch it against some other similarly-colored products? i'm interested in it but not sure what color i should get. i'm about nc35 for reference. i'm leaning toward the darker one but worried that it might be too yellowish.

these seem quite dark on this photo, almost brownish! I hope it won't look like that on me!

 

[keijukainen]

Anybody done or seen a swatch comparison between Cut to Fit and Aztec Brick from SCF Quad4? They seem similar but are they?
