MAC - Rodarte Discussion

[laylalovesmac]

I still think I'm passing. Kind of want the blush since I live in the desert (Desert Pink, right?) but I agree with Spunky. Even if I depot, I will still see the logo staring back at me, and I don't think I want that. The black/red MES is also tempting (despite that MAC employee's review), but I really do think I will skip. I think I will try to replace the Young Punk MES I stupidly swapped instead.

I like Mauvement, but that's coming out with FF too, right?

Otherwise - everything seems kinda dupable to me apart from the MES and the layered glasses, in which I'm not interested at all.

Phew - money saved!

I'm very interested in seeing the layered glosses and lipsticks. I WANT that purple nailpolish though. I'm in a pastel nail phase right now. I usually go for darker nail colors. I'm NC20 so i'll probably pick up a few things from this collection.

I am still soooo glad I stayed out of this one

 

[Mabelle]

im going to have to go back some pages to see who exactly this hypocrite is (i assume someone that works for mac) and when these rumours of cancelation came about. Last i heard all the profits would go to charity... now, i honestly dont remember where i heard that. And i just really wanted to believe it, so i did. It could be total rubbish.
I dont think they should cancel the collection, i think they should reshoot a promo image and re name the products and donate a shit ton of money to diffrent organizations for women's rights. Put little inserts in the bags or something with a write up about Juraez (?) and diffrent places you can donate to if you want. I think they should turn this launch into being about educating people. Will they loose money on it? Yes. But honestly, its there own damn fault.

I probably still wont buy from this collection. Im trying to cut back on my mu spending and it just doesnt appeal to me in the slightest.

And now I hear that some of the department stores are backing out? Really? I thought fashion was supposed to be edgy and MAC was supposed to be a little edgy too. I'd rather have insensitive than mamby-pamby political correctness. Sorry, I am not interested in the new names, and think this one will be a skip. I was really kind of looking forward to the white lippy, the blush and the BP's but honestly cannot see getting them anymore. I guess in theory it is just makeup but for me a rose by any other name just isn't as sweet...

But I'm not skipping this. I'm sick of the drama, specially the drama here in Mexico (way too hypocritical) but I love what this has done. Art it's edgy and it's meant to move harts, minds and souls!! Besides, if the situation in Juarez was fixed and solved 20 years ago when it all began we wouldn't be having all this drama!!

What will you be getting? It's tempting me, but I think I'll ultimately skip.

 

[Hypathya]

^I'm still unsure!! Maybe a lippie (the white gold one), the pigment Badlands and whatever catches my eyes at the store!!

 

[Susanne]

I will pass

 

[InspiredBlue]

I quite like some of the things from this collection, but not enough to set up a CP. Besides, I have some mighty expensive course books to buy at the end of the month, so it's just as well.

 

[kkischer04]

Apparently some controversy over one of the names

[meg_curls]

I wanted the lippie formally known as Ghost Town but now.....I'm just kind of over the collection. Too much Drama kind of dulls the collection for me and distracts from all the colors

yeah that is one thing that i don't miss about uni! spending crazy amounts of money on books! i did sell some of mine on amazon though however didn't get back nearly as much as i paid, they go out of date so quickly!

 

[bellaboomboom]

Drama aside, I still like this collection and will buy a few items I'm sure. The items look very pretty. I like the glosses especially.

 

[kiss]

It seems this collection has turned out to be a positive thing due to the donations and publicity. I liked the ghostly, edgy, moody portayal that this collection had and changing the names was pointless in my opinion. Although, I like the new name "Lullaby" and will check it out in person, but prolly wont end up getting it.

 

[PinkBasset]

I want Badlands badly.

 

[elegant-one]

Sooooo, did I miss any news - is it on or off for the collection

erine - did you say/know?

 

[greatscott2000]

Sounds like there isn't a Rodarte lipglass anymore. Are they even attached to the collection? or are they completely removed because of the controversy?
