MAC X Giambattista Valli Collection (July 2 / 9, 2015)

I really miss the old site

 

[elegant-one]

Exactly. Why did I have to be a zombie all day yesterday because I was up at 3am that morning? What? How is that fun? It's nice now that my stuff is shipping and I will have my products, but the events leading up to that are not amusing in the least. Yup, all dollars and cents. This whole country is all about how to make a quick buck. But can you blame people, shit you have to pay to see a frigging dr, an arm and a leg for prescriptions, just scraping by unless you're rich.

I'm going to email them. The site on a pc is bad, on your phone is another level. Like I feel like I have ADHD using it or I'm dyslexic.

I found you to be amusing all day yesterday hun

eh, I feel like that^^^ a lot of days...and a zombie some days

 

[elegant-one]

Hey! I missed you too. Girl, my wallet is NOT READY! Everything is so... golden peachy autumn fabulous!!! Definitely the Ombres and blush, MAYBE the quint. I'm trying to save my pennies for the new Tom Ford Shade + Illuminator and the primers.

Oh yes, the Tom Ford stuff! And, I still want to get the CT highlighter yet. I hope I like the quint when I see it tomorrow as it looks divine in the pics.

I placed one with MAC too just in case my Nordies one messed up and I get it on Monday! Nordies on Tues.

lol, I ordered tats from nordies and eugenie from bloomies but got them plus Charlotte in Macy's anyway just in case my packages got lost. but so far so good, I got my bloomies order yesterday now I'm waiting for the 2nd tats to come in

So how was the mac online aunch of this collection? I skipped it But I want some insight for future releases.

 

[montREALady]

Hey chicks, so the Cindy eye glaze and GBV lip glaze are totally different. The GBV is more clear with high gloss and easier to apply to the lips since it's meant for that. It has irridescence but seriously you can't tell once applied. The Cindy has glitter and is tacky since it's for the eyes. Duhh I know but I wanted to compare. A MAC girl put the GBV lip glaze on her eyes and it separated her shadow and looked bad. Just FYI. All pics are Macy's lighting without flash.

The GBV looks like it's BOOM here but it in person it looks like a regular gloss or even Vaseline on my hand. You can see little pink speckles if you look closely. Cindy has pink and blue bigger glitter with a more silver/white base. Edit: Outside pic:

Tried Eugenie without and with the glaze. Pretty but I seriously have colors like this as home and any clear gloss on top will look the same.

Without glaze

With glaze

Lol it didn't seem so smooth ..I'm nervous for the really big collections

 

[montREALady]

Oh and Macy's Herald Sq has everything but BB and Tats.

 

[mac-obsessed]

Omg I absolutely love this whole collection they are all beautiful and I'm obsesed with Bianca B I'm a nc35 and it pulls pink not white it's so pretty I bought one for my sis but I think I might keep it!! Lol Charlette is pretty but basic so I would say that's my least favorite

 

[LiliV]

Same! I was able to order from Nordstrom so I didn't miss out but what makes me mad is if I had missed Nordstrom and just waited on Mac, I wouldn't have been able to get anything from this collection bc the site was totally non functional for me

 

[thefbomb]

Toronto or Canadians you may want to check the bay they may still have them or some like mine did. In total between a store and counter I picked up 8 of these today! Decided to grab Charlotte for myself and the other 7 are for my sister and her friend

 

[msvluvsmac]

hahah Same!! I know she was trying to help but all i could think of was how to duck from that brush!!

I stopped by my local MAC today and they were sold out of everything except for the Lena gloss (they had two left), so they'd already pulled the display. They let me swatch everything on my hand, though. The colors were all LOVELY, but I ended up feeling pretty validated that I only bought Eugenie for myself. Tats reminded me of NARS Schiap quite a bit (they might actually be pretty different, but I don't know that I need both), and Bianca B and Margherita weren't going to work easily on my coloring. I liked Charlotte, but I've barely even touched the Kinky lippie I bought last year, and I'm pretty sure those two are kissing cousins (plus, I stopped counting my red lipsticks after I ran out of fingers and toes). Eugenie has a tiny bit more red to it than most of my dark lipsticks (I tend to lean more toward purple-darks), and whatever, I needed ONE lipstick from this collection!

I ended up trying on the gloss, just smeared a little over the matte lip crayon I had on... and it felt so good. The iridescence is barely perceivable, but it definitely made my lips look plumper than my La Bello that I usually swipe over lipsticks (low bar, I know). Soooooooooooo I bought one. It felt a little silly, but my lips for real feel amazing right now.

I regret nothing.

I got Margherita from Macy's (pre-sale), then ordered BB (for me) and Tats (for my sis) from Nordies then another BB from MAC just in case, lollll. I feel like I want Tats now. I have to keep telling myself I have too many pinks in that family. Same with Eugenie.

My Bloomingdale order arrived today with Marguerita, Bouffant, and Shell Pearl. Marguerita is AMAZING! It's a bit darker then Sushi Kiss and pinker but I wouldn't call SK a perfect dupe. Reel Sexy is lighter and pinker than Marguerite. M is not in the family of Ablaze, Watch Me Simmer, Burmese Kiss, Toying Around, and Morange. Forbidden Sunrise is more orange, and Sounds Like Noise is like Margherita's orange cousin. I think that if you mix Sounds Like Noise with either Sushi Kiss or Reel Sexy you can get a Marguerite clone. I can't wait for the rest of the lipsticks to arrived next week.
