MAC Retro Matte collection (September 12, 2013)

[PinkMaraschino]

Karen's swatches are up

Steady Going and Shock Value will be MINE!

Aren't these going to be permanent though?

 

[butterflyeyes]

Did she just say these are LE? Hmmm

I'm thinking MAC sent out conflicting (or maybe corrected?) press release info. Will there ever be a clean release without any questions/issues/drama? Lol I find it interesting that there appears to be an issue with hers and T's Fixed on Drama. Maybe it's just a press sample issue. Guess we'll know soon enough!

Not sure what to think here as far as what I want but I do know this discussion will not go over well with some. And honestly we should be able to give our opinions whether they are good or bad. Just play nice if you disagree or vice versa.

Ahh, now thats no fun

Unlikely lol

Karen's swatches just reduced my list down to two with FOF and FOD.

 

[shontay07108]

I want Relentlessly Red, All Fired Up, Dangerous and Flat Out Fabulous lipsticks. As for liners, I want Fashion Boost, High Energy and Shock Value. All of those will be bought in one go, perm or not. I don't play games.

I want those first too. Then later, relentless red.

 

[miss0annette]

Ummm hi. I guess I want all fired up too!

 

[Richelle83]

This should never have not been on your list! She looks gorgeous.

 

[sss215]

I want the Fashion Boost pencil. It's gorge!

I know right! ahhh I'm dying right now. I just want it all.

 

[Richelle83]

I do! I use the P+P Lip underneath everything I use, even when I just wear the lipliner and fill in. It's a Godsend!

I agree with PinkMaraschino, Jes, Prep + Prime is perfect for dry lips.

 

[erine1881]

If you ladies wear just liner do you put lip balm or something under it? I feel like its always wayyyy to dry to just wear on its own =/

I always have lip balm on when I'm doing the rest of my makeup, but then blot it all off, then apply lip liner, then lipstick (optional). That's it! IF using P&P Lip, you need to allow it to tack up for a minute or two first, then apply the liner, otherwise it's pointless to apply the P&P.

I've been meaning to pick up nightmoth for a year now, I'll probably get it when I pick up TTT.

DO IT!!! :whip: It's amazing!!!

Yeah, I've just accepted that no one knows what the eff they are talking about in regards to this collection's availablity lol... (Except Erine, because I still have hope lol)

They're not LE :nope:

They're too zoomed in to really tell anything! :dunno:

I love Karen's blog and I love her personality, but I cannot stand her swatches. Like, if I was a total a--hole I could rant about it for a solid five minutes. I don't know how anyone can determine what's hot or not by looking at any of her swatches.

I am a bit surprised she did the Allura Beauty zoom all the fricken way in approach. It is hard to determine sometimes whether or not it will work on you.

With Karen's swatches somehow every shadow known to man looks dry as a desert on her, not sure why though. For me the colors are more of what I can expect on me.

 

[BeautyByLele]

Screw it imma get just get EVERYTHING from this collection !!! Because im so disappointed in the new ProLongWear Paint Pots

Preach I remember when I first stumbled upon her blog I wondered if she just didn't want to use up product and was giving the stingiest swatches possible. :dunno:
