MAC x Carine Roitfeld (Fall 2012)

[Naynadine]

Wow! Tx Naynadine! You have been on such a roll with getting promo pics early. I appreciate it!

Everything looks amazing. Love the packaging. I'm not sure whether or not I will be buying though. Need to save some money. I will hold off until I see swatches and read reviews. DIdn't paparazziboy say one of the palettes was a "must have"? Was it the Desert one?

You're welcome.

Yes, I think Paparazziboy was talking about the Desert one. I might have to skip this collection if it will be released in September or October. Because we'll get Styleseeker and Ruffian in Sep., and Marilyn and By Request in Oct. I believe, and my wallet can't handle more than two collections per month.
I have to see swatches and maybe cut down my lists for the other collections, if there's something in this one I really want.

Looking forward to see swatches to get the feel of the quality of those quads.

I am happy to say that even the promo pictures do not get me excited for this collection - just as well, with all the other upcoming collections.

 

[Mac-Guy]

I still like everything I see

 

[mousygiggles]

It is ok but I am skipping. The nude looks to pale for me to love.

Thanks for the promo images, Naynadine!

The shades look classic enough, but I think that if I really want a neutral, elegant kind of palette, I'll spring for one of the Armani Fall ones. Honestly, though, I feel like I have so many wonderful neutral shades already that I don't need to add 4 at a time.

I have quite a few blue-violet lipsticks and i'm always happy to get more! Some have frost, some don't. I'm just a pushover for blue-violet lip products.

Back when MAC was new in town - in the mid to late 90s - i got:
Lust - highly frosted pale blue violet (black cylinder tube)
Grid - frosted dark blue violet (silver bullet tube)

They still smell and feel OK. It'd be nice if MAC'd bring one or both back... I suspect you'd like Lust - sounds just like what you're asking for.

I remember Lust! Remember Alumina? - frosty blue! Those were the days!

Only thing I found are promo pics

and one of the packaging: V MAGAZINE - Eye spy some Carine Roitfeld for M.A.C “Bootcamp...

Also I believe Paparazziboy posted a pic of one of the palettes before.

THX! This is def a pass for me.

Me too! The packaging is really sleek and the palettes look so pretty. MAC is really gunning for my bank account this year.

 

[Prettypackages]

Oh these are palettes? I'll probably pass.

 

[Spikesmom]

Me too but it's hard for me to buy stuff that I can't use my discount on. I did read that we can't use our discount, right? I hope I'm wrong!!!

If I love a product, I'll buy it, no matter if the discount applies or not. And these compacts are right up my alley.

 

[lyseD]

Are those new brushes?

 

[Spikesmom]

I would if the colors were more unusual. Paying full price for two more carbons is tough lol. Who knows, I'll go see them and see what happens!

Are those new brushes?

No. Looks like a 266, 275 (?), and a 191 -- all permanent.

Thank you shellygrrl

I hope the eyelash curler gets decent reviews,been needing a new one,and I like that it's all black and I will get a back-up of Feline too,everything else I think I will skip though,saving for holiday stuff.

I didn't realize the curler was with this collection, I thought it was with the accessories. Thanks, I need a new one too and love the idea of black.

 

[GunpowderPixi]

i just hope it's not too pricey,the one I have is the regular silver Mac one,but I can't seem to fit all my lashes in it,so the curl is always wonky on the outer corners hahah! Thank goodness for falsies sometimes~

You should try the Nars one. Most curlers miss my outer lashes, but this one doesn't. It also never pinches. And it's black!
