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

FOF and HC look totally different to me. So glad they aren't exact dupes!

Me too, even the thought didn't make sense since FOF just screams PINK to me. @Marsha Pomells who said they were dupes?

Stunner Cardinal MM Nasty Gal PT MM I put them all @Marsha Pomells  just in case... Hollywood Cerise last one is HC FOF

They are all so different. this makes me want to break Stunner out! It's gorgeous!

 

[bluelitzer]

Thank god for Karen's swatches!
I have Stunner, somewhere unused. Don't need cardinal, or HC or NFP. Kinda bummed though that Royal Wink isn't as opaque as it looks in old swatches but I'm still happy to get it and Blue Peep!

Speaking of Blue Peep...she really rocked this look!

I was look at them, and they looked similar (think I need an eye test). I can gladly skip C then, and HC can get back on my list

Never got it, only got Gunner. Cardinal is the first red in decades that jumped out at me.

Lustres are never opaque, ugggh. Tube to lip never translates on me.

LOL!!

Mix FOF with Rebel or Acai and I'm sure you'll get HC.

I can't believe that everything is still available online. I hope the same happens with Mac is Beauty. My order shipped and I can't wait to try out the fluidlines. However, the order that had the Mia palette was cancelled probably because I ordered it a few minutes before it went out of stock. -_- I didn't have much luck with paintpots except for one that's a neutral shade, so I hope the fluidlines are great.

First impressions and swatches! Unfortunately, today is really overcast. :/ It won't clear up all weekend. I took all photos in the window, trying to get as much direct sunlight as possible.

NFP: I was a little disappointed that this wasn't pulling really bright pink like some swatches I've seen! Maybe it's because it's not 100% sunny out?

HC: This pulls more purple-ish on me. I really love this color! However, it looks like a lot of lipsticks I have. Chanel's La romanesque comes to mind, TF's Jack possibly. This is definitely a color I'm drawn to more frequently. It looks close to NFP in the photo, but they're definitely different in person. Especially on the lips!

Cardinal: It's a pretty red. You can tell in the photo it is a little more "yellow" and "warm" than the swatch below which is MM. I have so many reds like this. I've yet to try it on the lips, yet, and see how much it really differs on the lips compared to MM. However, this one took quite a few passes to build up, unlike MM which was one swipe opaque and creamy.

MM: A touch cooler than Cardinal. I'm loving this one more that Cardinal-- possibly from the formula, though. It was much more opaque at first swipe. Smooth and creamy. Definitely dupeable, but a lovely formula and still a lovely shade of red. I'll keep this one and likely return Cardinal if I can't tell much of a difference on the lips. The box was super cute in person... I wish they came in packaging like this!


Top to Bottom: NFP, HC, Cardinal, MM.

Lame! I just checked tracking and it shows HC & C with an expected date of Tuesday. So much for 2 day shipping!

 

[montREALady]

Thanks @montREALady and @NaomiH, you guys have chucked HC back on my list

Oh, I guess I was

without even trying, lmao!

 

[Mizani]

I think I might want Cardinal. :-(

OMG Naomi, me too and my sentiments exactly. I knew there was no point really of using 2 day cause where I live it usually takes two days anyways so it wasn't an improvement at all.

I always found it to be a waste because I always get my MAC so quickly with regular shipping. But that's weird and annoying, something must have happened to your order. I did regular and get my C on Monday (earlier than usual because it's usually Tues) and I'm in NYC and they ship from Louisville, KY! You're in TX??
