MAC Too Fabulous Discussion

[Karuzela]

I saw Too Fabulous today too

The blushes look really cute and sparkly, but I don`t think I will be getting any. I like the pink/yellow one most, but it`s more of a highlighter than a blush really. And the MA said they all look great as eyeshadows too.

I am more of a dazzleglass person, so I skipped the glosses, but the thing that stole my heart were the lipliners

So soft, beautiful and rich colors... omg! A bit pricey (at least for me) for a lip pencil, but I think I will get one nudy and one vivid pink, if they are still there in April. Are those lip pencils permanent?

The texture is completly different. And if I remember correctly, azlea blossom swatched as a powdery light pink whereas TV is a violet bright pink. Azlea didn't look violet to me at all... I also think Audrey said that Two Virtues is more violet. They both look pretty in the pan though ahaha.

IMO, to look at them in the pan, the pink and lavender are similar. I swatched them side by side on my hand, and AB was definately more pink on me than TV. The violet in TV was more obvious, and even more purple than the purple side of AB. TV was also brighter on me, whereas AB was more subtle. The finish is completely different as well. I think they are definately different enough to own both with no regret. HTH

Too dark? no way! The darker, the better. Applied with a light hand with the 187 brush, it's very subtle.

i used the 187 too, i just dipped it into the pan a little bit. still, it was too much for my pasty self. i've hardly used love rock for the exact same reason. rhapsody in two looked way better on me!

The MAC Pro near me had this collection on display today when I was there earlier!

Only one cremesheen was missing, but I didn't bother to ask if it was gone from a customer or MA using it or if it was sold out already. Regardless, the c/s look amazing and the colour pay off seems very opaque.

I didn't swatch any of the blushes or pencils (mineralized aren't good on my oily skin and I just learned I'm allergic to MAC's lipliners). But everything was great anyways!

I'll probably skip out on this collection, but for lip product junkies, these are great items!

I just ordered Trimmed in Pink, Naked & In Synch!!! And Two Virtues

cremesheens are there too

 

[ThePowderPuff]

I am SO dissapointed in the swatches on Temptalia. The cremesheen doesn't show up at all, they would dissapear on me completely and the blushes look boring and muddy. I have been sooo looking forward to the blushes, and now I don't want any.

I hope Two Virtues will show up better.

Well I guess I can stick with getting one lipliner from this collection then...

The same here! I was hopping to get these two blushes, but Two Virtues is too dark for me

But Rhapsody in Two is so cute!!!

Naked is indeed CDN as a liner, I loved the effect.

I also got In Synch, it's such a pretty pink

Do you think the blushes were so muddy on her because she's so warm colored?

 

[mac_aiken]

OK all of you master enablers out there what do you think of Naked liner for N2/NW 15 with fairly pigmented lips?

 

[TeresitaMC]

Does anyone have Bobbi Brown lip pencil in "Mauve"?

I am wondering if it is similar to Boldly Bare. My Bobbi pencil has been MIA for like 2 months at least! So far Boldly Bare looks close to it.

I'd love a comparison swatch if/when anyone has access

Re: MAC Mineralize Blush Duos Discussion

I love the glow that the mineralize blushes give and u can always mix it with a matte blush to tone down shimmer and also give it more color.

I want Sun & Moon, Buddy Up, Bi-Tone, Chic Couple..

I am concerned about Naked though. I have never worked with a color like this before. Big hugs to all of you.

Hello! I'm glad that your doing okay!

 

[GlamQueen21]

I have Two Virtues in my cart. I'm going to order it probably tomorrow if I have enough money.

 

[purrtykitty]

Cannot wait to see this in person! I'm even considering getting Trimmed in Pink along with Naked and In Synch. Still excited for the blushes, too!

Re: MAC Mineralize Blush Duos Discussion

Susanne, Rachel, or another mod is there a way that this thread can be merged with the Too Fabulous thread? It seems that since they are part of the same collection that it would be best to merge them. Thanks!
