The MAC Makeup Thread

[Trista]

Well there aren't any pictures of Hello Kitty yet-keep in mind the collection does not launch until the 13th of Feb.-but within the next month, we might see something. As far as Dame Edna, there are fairly crude pictures but nothing great. The eye trios are for the most part, skippable. None of the eyeshadows are particularly great, although Climate Blue is in one of them and that was very popular. Like I said earlier, the highlight powders are also skippable. The only other really new things are the lip colours-and not everybody likes the super bright shades, so the Lipglasses might be better.

I've essentially cut Dame Edna down to under $50 for most of you

 

[Mindbear]

I'm still perplexed by the idea of giving a transvestite comedian their own line, but I can imagine it's going to be great for bright colors, and I quite like the packaging. I shall have to be patient for the Hello Kitty. I want it so!

I bought the six eye shadows from the ''Red she said'' collection from ebay, the ungaro lipgloss (pastel emotions), enough said powder, soft pause+ quiet please lipstick and sugarrimmed dazzleglass.
Oh and from older collection(s) the light flush and so ceylon bronzer.

Promised myself that I'd go to Amsterdam to get some new make up, but since it's been a while and I still haven't been there, I just ordered online. Now hopefully, I'll receive everything soon and authentic. Can't wait to try some of those looks out

I've waited to post pictures of my haul, because I started buying more and more.. I believe I got everything I wanted now

All shadows from Red she said collection
Lipsticks : Soft Pause, Quiet please, 'Red' she said (the others are mellow mood, henry bendel-love Henri and rose go round, but those aren't from a new collection, as far as I know)
I got the brow pencils Spiked and Stud
and plush lash mascara
Also four dazzleglasses; sugarrimmed, get rich quick (is that new?), date night and loev alert.
Oh, and the 2 from Emanuel Ungaro; not so shy and pastel emotions.
But I regret the 'not so shy'. It drips of my lip.
Than I got the 4 eye palettes (warm eyes, cool eyes, smokey eyes & classic eyes), the 3 sets of brushes and 3 of the lipsticks sets. But I only took out 1 in the picture. Got the nude, rose and red. Now I'm too broke to buy the little darlings but oh well.

I think that's the full list

 

[lucy92]

oh wow!! i like your collection! and i think the little darlings collection is skippable. so i think you made the right decision!

does mac cost the same amount of money in europe as it does in the states?

 

[BellaCouture]

Thank you I have no idea about the price differences though. I only bought the mascara in Amsterdam.
All the other things were bought on Nordstrom and sent to me from the UK.

The mascara was €17 with a 20% discount pass from my sister. That's $21, I think.

 

[peacelover142002]

Wow. I'm jealous. That is one gorgeous haul. Enjoy it! (And is that a kitty I see snooping in your pics? )

 

[daisybella]

BellaCouture- WOW, haha, that's all I have to say!

Do you like MAC nail polishes? My friend is going to Vienna (Does anyone know if they have Emanuel Ungaro lipsticks?) in two days and I ordered her to bring me Dark Angel. Does anyone have it? Any reviews or better, pictures?

 

[Trista]

I've never tried them, since MAC never does any colours I would like (I missed the Neo Sci-Fi...those are my thing), but I have heard decent reviews.

I wouldn't count out the Little Darlings yet though-the coral is nothing terribly special, but I seriously have been wearing either Magnetique or Fleur De Light every day since I got them. Also the cool pigments set has Quietly, which was an Asia-only release. Otherwise, they are skippable

Also, there will be an Icon collection sometime next year. It is extremely hush-hush, although you can assume their will be quads. I can't say any more about it though.

 

[lucy92]

so two icon collections? or will we have to wait until next december for the following one?

mindbear, they also gave eddie izzard a lipstick collection as well! another transvestite comedian!

 

[Suburban Snob]

MAC nail polishes are not great, imo. Essie, Nicole & OPI have a much better product for roughly the same price point.

 

[Trista]

Essie's are only $7, and OPI's are $8.50...plus a way wider selection of colour.

 

[jjbunny79]

just browsing specktra.net and they said that the theme is gonna be a good kitty/bad kitty theme... here i come bad kitty! XD

 

[Miwi]

Ok, thank you guys! I'll try to get Ungaro's lipstick instead.

 

[BellaCouture]

Thanks Peacelover & Daisybella lol, yes that's my kitty in the pictures.
When I go into a room and he thinks I'm doing something interesting, he is always there to see what I'm busy with.

Trista, I think you're right and that the Little Darlings probably aren't all that amazing, but I'd still like to have them, for the pink and coral sets really appeal to me. I'm just in love with the corals, but when I bought the other things, I couldn't find them yet. Only afterwards. But I have to wait and hopefully I'll be able to buy them, later on. Even the nude ones seem nice.

 

[Style-Addict]

Lovely pictures, I want a collection like that!!

 

[lucy92]

i finally had a look at the swatches (well more like tiny blobs of color) from the blonde/brunette/redhead collection

this is what i want...

redhead lipstick:
marquise d'
bowdry
blonde lipstick:
b babe
all's fair
brunette eyeshadow
henna

the pink lipsticks from this collection look awesome!

 

[Trista]

Yeah, I have a friend who is on "that site"...I used to be on there but there are very good reasons why I left.

I definitely am into the good/evil Kitty thing, because I have some old Hot Topic Hello Kitty shirts, but also some of the pastels and everything.

 

[Mindbear]

so two icon collections? or will we have to wait until next december for the following one?

mindbear, they also gave eddie izzard a lipstick collection as well! another transvestite comedian!

Well there's something I didn't know! I have noticed that Izzard seems to have dropped the tranvestite thing now....which is odd, as he was pretty much openly accepted by all.

Still, looking forward to the Dame Edna collection. Possums!

 

[Trista]

Dame Edna is not considered to be an Icon. Consider Dame Edna to be more along the lines of Heatherette or Barbie or Zandra Rhodes...not Icon. The Icon collection will come partway into 2009...and the only information I can divulge is that it is a singer. I am hoping that it will be better selection of colours and packaging than both Catherine and Raquel were, I can tell you that much.

The Eddie Izzard collection was just a lipstick and lipglass, and it was to coincide with the Sexie tour. It wasn't a full-on collection.
