MAC X Philip Treacy Collection (March 26 / April 2, 2015)

That Blush Pink powder looks kinda chalky in T's swatch. Still just HC & C for me!

I guess she won't report whether it's got the same consistency as the old one.

It doesn't make sense for her to not test it out. MAC changes their formula on items all the time. Even she reports discrepancies between other products from one collection to the next, whether it's a permanent eyeshadow vs a permanent shade that happens to be included in a palette, other limited edition products that have come out in multiple collections, or whatever.

:agree: and after all her years of reviewing MAC she should know that and at least do past and present swatch comparisons like she has for items in the past like Lavender Whip.

Exactly! I'm confused. Anyway, I got this reaction from her: ''I’ll see if I can play with it – I was planning on donating it since it’s new!'' We can only wait I guess.

Right! I'm glad I'm not the only one here.

Hollywood Cherise, Blue Peep and Royal Wink

I am so glad that BP and RW are making a comeback

 

[NaomiH]

Right! I'm glad I'm not the only one here.

I mean it's good info to have!

Too bad she doesn't has Genuine Treasure yet. I am really curious if the formula has improved, it's the only the thing I'm interested in but I only want it if it has a better formula.

Oh same here. I have barely touched mine and I think it's starting to dry out, but boy does mine apply horribly. The colour is gorgeous, though.

I'm leaning towards Royal Wink, Blue Peep and Hollywood Cerise now..

 

[slowlikehoney]

I think just Hollywood Cerise and Cardinal for me. I don't think I have enough reds in my collection and Cardinal looks beautiful.

I have to admit that Im one of those that buys stuff that gets little use but thats because I have a lot of stuff and it usually takes me a while to put things on rotation but i also buy and donate a lot of things to my mom......I hope Karen puts swatches up soon, if the powders work on her may pick up the champagne one because I doubt the light pink will work :/

I agree. I'd like to know if they improved the GT formula at the very least.

Genuine Treasure is the only thing I wanted from the collection but so many people here commented on the application that I decided to skip.

She usually does for repromoted items, well most, especially items she finds are favorites among collectors. So perhaps she feels GT isn't as important as say a lipstick or certain palettes :dunno:

Maybe, I hope she chimes in though for people who are interested.

I hope so!

 

[beauteblogueur]

Looks like just Blue Peep and Royal Wink for me. I wish I could get excited about one of those powders because they're so pretty, but they swatch so boring.

If you're interested in the colour, I find that Reflects Antique Gold is really similar to Genuine Treasure. In fact, that's why I purchased it in the first place; I thought I could use it in place of the loose pigment or to layer underneath it. It's worth a look!

 

[Indieprincess]

I really hope this collection launches smoothly because I really want Cardinal and Hollywood Cerise assuming I don't have dupes for them already.

 

[MissElle12]

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

Me either.

You are on the money. People out here have the game twisted and think that makeup items are collectibles like jewelry and cars. Nope. They are meant to be used.

Church!
