MAC Too Fabulous Discussion

[Karuzela]

I only wanted the lip liners from this collection, but the prices are crazy on them!

One lip liner is 26$ instead of 13$... wth

 

[omgitzstephanie]

All the Cremesheen glasses besides Boy Bait and Partial to Pink disappeared off of the Canadian MAC website! Hmm, glitch probably?

 

[TeresitaMC]

^ I said that above

I dunno WHAT the heck is going on over there!

This is exactly what I needed to hear too. Thank you for the words of wisdom. I sometimes get caught in the LE hype and need to just stop and breathe for a moment.

If this is true, then I'll definitely be picking RIT up! I love Moon River and it's pigmented enough for me to wear as a blush, but would LOVE something similar but with more color. None of the swatches seem like it is though, but I guess I will wait and see tomorrow!

Although I am seriously thinking about skipping this collection altogether - blushes, lip liner, Cremesheens - everything. (I'm on a little bit of MAC overload right now, between Lillyland, SCF and Liberty of London).

I WORE IMPROVISE YESTERDAY TOO!!!!!!!!!

I paired it with green smokey eyes and Color Me Coral on my lips! We really ARE makeup twins

And the Colour Craft ones were my fave too!!!!! I bought them all!!! And I use every single one of them!!!!!! They aren't glittery at all, they just leave you with such a nice glow!!!! I agree- if the Too Fabulous ones are the same, I'm getting all of them, too! But I'm trying to save up for Liberty of London and Art Supplies (which I want everything in this collection lol) so I will be looking at these blushes long and hard and make sure the colors are unique from the ones I have.
If these are similar in shades to the ones I have, I will be skipping them (and my wallet won't be complaining either

. I won't be getting the cremesheens since they are permanent. I'm not interested in the liners either, but I will check out the nude and light pink one though!

Same here!!!! I have a ton of mineralize blushes and am pretty sure I already have similar shades to these ones. But the design is making me want to go check them out even more.

Same here!!!!! I feel the exact same way, and I'm STILL doing it without realizing

lolol. I rarely wear lip liners, and if I ever do, I wear my ultimate fave nude pink one by smashbox. I'm wanting to check out the nude and light pink one in this collection just because of the hype here, but I'm not sure I would even use it. I have to stop reading these threads

. What have you enablers done to me

 

[mac_aiken]

I did a small "I deserve a haul" shopping trip today. My list for Too Fab changed a bit and eventually this is what made it's way home with me:

Two Virtues
Buddy Up (not on my original list)
In Synch l/l
Trimmed in Pink l/l
Stila Long Last l/s in Intriguing (a pink that is not for the faint of heart LOL)
EL Maximum Cover Foundation in Creamy Ivory
About Face (a book by mua Scott Barnes)

I ended up not getting Naked l/l. I just couldn't make it work. It looked like I had slapped concealer on my lips. I have Lip Erase and I don't really do nude lips so this was a pass for me.

I have Lip Erase, too- so does that mean I can skip Naked l/l ???????

You pretty much get the same result with the color. The only thing that I like better with the Naked lip liner is the application. I felt that the lip eraser dried out my lips, even with lip balm underneath.

BTW, Naked is already sold out at my counter with pre-orders only. My MA said today that I got the last one. I still don't see online that it's limited edition.

Wow, I am so glad that I am not the only one feeling like this.....I'm feeling very overwhelmed with the back-to-back-to-back collections.....I'm planning to hit the counter to swatch, but maybe I can resist the temptation......

 

[midnight_plue]

hi, was wondering if anyone can post a pic comparison between Two Virtues and Love Rock? I've heard many people saying it's similar/ the same but I haven't seen comparison

thanks in advance!

 

[SmokeSignal16]

I got my stuff today! When I get to my house and back to my stash I'll be able to do comparisons for the blushes. So hang on tight for a while and I'll get some! BTW I got all of the blushes after all...lol and I got naked l/l and In Synch l/l, all the MA's were raving about Naked because there isn't anything like it, most of them are buying multiples of those. So me thinks one would want to pick those up asap!

 

[Goat Goat Etc.]

"Fab" for free shipping till 12:00am 3/8/10.

 

[midnight_plue]

SmokeSignal16

thanks dearie! it's a great big help! *muaks!*
i myself getting all except Chic Couple and Two Virtues...
cuz I'd be worried it's similar to Love Rock and I didn't like Love Rock cuz it's such a cool tone pinky purple at that moment!

 

[SmokeSignal16]

I wanna say they aren't really THAT similar just because Love Rock is more pink versus Two Virtues having more lavender to it but I will get home and get those swatches to you to be on the safe side. It might be a couple of hours since I'm with the s/o's family discussing job interviews I had today and my hubby had one too.

 

[LMD84]

why have i not tried opne of these glosses before?!? they are awesome! fashion scoop is a lovely colour and also feels really nice on my lips!

so pleased i bought this one! naked and in sync liner look good also - but not tried them on my lips yet!

 

[SmokeSignal16]

OK after swatching Love Rock next to Two Virtues I take back what I said earlier. They are actually pretty close, its just that Two Virtues has more of the touch of lavender and Love Rock has more pink. But they are pretty similar. I'll try to take pix later today when it's daylight out. But here it is for now.


Love Rock Right
Two Virtues Left

Aww so you got them all

I didn't buy Sun&Moon and Chic Couple. They both seemed too similar to Grand Duos (Earth to Earth and Light Over Dark) If you have Grand Duos, can you please compare them for me? Because I have to buy online, I will get them if they are not so similar

Enjoy your new items!

I can't wait to get fashion scoop myself.

Lip Erase dries out my lips too, hate it. The regular MAC site doesn't distinguish between perm and LE anymore as far as I know (very annoying) but all of the new liners except Chestnut are shown as LE on MAC Pro:

Thanks alot for that comparison shot - they look different enough to me.

 

[Face2Mac]

I am having anxiety about the blushes being super glittery. I should be getting my package today and I want to like them. There's nothing more upsetting than having your makeup dreams dashed.
