MAC - Stylishly Yours Discussion

[keijukainen]

The PBs look so pale on the swatches and on Christine's cheeks! Not sure even I could wear them as a blush like I've been doing with the VV ones and I don't have any tan left from the summer. I'd prefer a multipurpose product I could use both as a highlighter and as a blush.

Don't know what to do with the pigments now. New Fixation looks gorgeous on the swatch, not sheer at all but I think I have a very similar shade from Aromaleigh. Will be skipping Follow your fancy, I have enough rusted oranges and it wasn't bright enough orange for me. Madly Personal does look similar to Brash & Bold but I really really like it!

Can't wait for the lippie swatches!

Dark Diversion for real!!!! Its beautiful and seriously, its what I wanted Bat Black from Style Black to be. Excited for the 26th!

for me, its

Dark Diversion
Virgin Isle
Follow your Fancy (maybe)

I have macroviolet fluidline do I really need this other fluidline?.. I want to purchase something from a collection bc I am saving up money but I am sooo indeciseive!!

OK so the CCB can't be used on the eyes so I'm not buying any. So that means I'm just getting Neon Orange.

Well, I saw Temptalia's swatches. I'm glad none of the CCBs and BPs grabbed my attention. Nope, it's Style Curve that I'm drooling over. I didn't even see that one coming!

Style Curve is definitely on my to get list. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Things I'll have to check out in person:
1. Madly Personal -- has to have the purplish sheen I keep seeing in swatches or I'm not getting it
2. Something New -- only if it's not too crazy pink on me
3. Dark Diversion -- it looks like a dirty brown plum from swatches. I'll just have to see it in person to know :/

I want this whole collection now. Damn.

 

[Anneri]

Hmmmm, I'd be very interested in a comparison between the BP in this collection and Shell Pearl! Maybe the lovely ladies getting the collection early can help me out?

Why do I have to love those ccb shades so much? They seem to make such gorgeous lip/cheek colour!
-Tickle me Pink looks a lot like Of Royalty l/s to me so I could probably skip that. I know I won't be buying Gesina, so I'd love to get Movie Star Red. I love Madly Magenta, I think it's a little more purple than Love Forever. Virgin Isle would be such a pretty spring/summer color and I can always use it on my cheeks if it's too coral for my lips.

Where could I get the inci of the ccbs? I'd love to check it out.

What do you think about the lippies?
Too bad Style Curve isn't that opaque but I still like the shade a lot.

Hehe, I just spent about an hour telling myself "you don't need this/that".
My list was huge after I saw all the swatches!

Wow Style Curve really does look like the lipstick version of RIS. I was excited about that at first, but now I'm thinking I just really want a bright purple within its own right. This is one I'll have to see in person and won't be able to do online.

So, as of right now I want 3 CCB's. I only use them on my cheeks so I want Madly Magenta, Virgin Isle and Tickle Me Pink. Originally, I only wanted MM. Something tells me TMP maybe too pale, but hopefully not and Movie Star Red is just something I don't need. I hardly ever rock red cheeks because my eyes or lips are strong.

I'm confused about the Beauty Powders. Admittedly, I really want one just for the packaging. I'd love to have a powder with a mirror. However, neither one seems suitable for my skin. I wanted Too Chic, but it seems like it won't even show. That bums me out.

 

[hoshiakari_]

After seeing swatches, I'll only be getting Neon Orange lippie and Dark Diversion fluidline. =)
I like the CCBs, but I can't justify buying one or two and just using them for cheeks.
I'd need to get a whiff of the Fix+ Lavender before buying... but hopefully my sniffer won't find it sweet.
I really want to save for Peacocky. xD

 

[shontay07108]

Hold on! I just realized my beloved HK powder Tahitian Sand has a mirror and Briar Rose from VV has a mirror. Therefore, unless Too Chic proves me wrong when I swatch it tomorrow, it can stay right where it's at.

I may have to get all 4 ccbs now. I love ccbs. Its good to see that they are safe for both lips & cheeks - which I would wear them both places any ways

 

[nunu]

I have my wishlist for this collection!

Cockeny lipstick, Virgin Isle and Movie Star Red CCB's

Movie star red looks really pretty, a wearable red on the cheeks and lips. It reminds me of Just a pinch gel blush that MAC came out with a while ago.

They look great on Temptalia as both lip and cheek colors. I've never worn one on my lips but madly magenta looks incredible. I can't wait to play with these.

As I have said before, I have all four and have been using them a lot -- for daytime, alone over my foundation and for work and work related travel, I use them as a base for my powder blushes in order to set them.

I do use them on my lips all the time and have for years -- all parts and pieces of me are still intact.

 

[BeautyByLele]

From this collection, I want New Fixation pigment & Movie Star Red ccb (I'm gonna try it on my eyes as a base)..... Anybody else....lol ????

Thanks HerGreyness and sorry, I still have more questions. I've never used ccbs.

1. How's the finish on your lips after these dry?
2. Do you feel like you need to put a gloss over these or do they look/feel nice just by themselves?
3. How's the staying power on lips and do you recommend a lipliner with these?
4. Are these drying on lips? They looked so creamy on Temptalia's pics!
5. Which brush do you use to apply them (cheeks/lips) or do you just use your fingers?

So I'm back!!! Fresh from the Pro Store. Believe it or not I just walked away with one product from this collection. I got the Dark Diversion Fluidline. That's it. Suprisingly enough since out of the two collections I was planning on hauling the most from this one. Style Curve was a product I swore I would have. However its too close to Violetta and an Inglot Freedom Palette lipstick I recently got my hands on to justify its purchase. The pigments was my greatest disappointment. Follow Your Fancy is sheer and the others are fairly dupeable. I was hoping for something with a stronger color. Oh well more money for Peacocky. The MUA could not stop talking about how beautiful the new shadows were gonna be.
