i bought one and it feels so neat when you put it on. However, in pictures my face appeared super glittery/shiny/wet. Kind of annoying.
Are these used as finishing powders?
Why are the lipsticks $29.50 for this collection? What is so special about them? Also, Christine can you tell us when the Blogger's Collection will be coming out? I'm guessing for June or July? Any reason why no lipsticks or blush are coming with the collection? Can't wait! I'm sure you have some really great colors & names.
These aren't lipsticks - these are face powders! :) I cannot say anything, as I'm under embargo.
I used to work for MAC...when perscriptives went out of business MAC and Clinique bought alot of teir exact formulas. This is the exact same product. Clinique bought super line preventer and is selling it as even better.
looks like you are getting a wearable sheen like the sirens in the movie TRON. So modern!
Christine, Do these have parabens? Thanks!
MAC is coping Prescriptive Cosmetics Magic Powder. I love MAC Cosmetics, and I am a former MAC Employee but they are starting to imitate other cosmetic line and their products. Even though Prescriptives went out of business and they both are under the Estee Lauder brand, MAC is suppose to be trend setters and originators. I'm not impressed AT ALL! Copy Cats
This looks interesting. Must look into it!
Thanks! But would they be able to be used over powder foundation? I only wear powder foundation so would these be sort of unnecessary for powder foundation users?
Im interested in these but what are its purpose? They look kinda like bronzers to me?
They're just supposed to give you a light highlight/ bronzing dusting while giving you that cooling feeling on the skin. It's like a specialty item for the hot weather, so to speak. They're definitely not setting powders though.
i bought it from venomous villains and when i tried at the first time i could feel wet awsome, but now no more it´s just powder :(
REALLY looking forward to trying this. I didn't grab it the first time around during Venomous Villains, but I'm definitely going to look into it this time...mainly because of my curiosity to know what it feels like on the face. =]
Sounds awesome! Will you be doing reviews on these? :)
Yaaay, they're bringing it back! I didn't get a chance to check it out when it had Facilier's face on it lol. Now here's to hoping they repromote his Greasepaint sticks, too...
I think everyone just got very, very excited.
A little off topic, but these canadian vs. us prices really piss me off, especially now that the cad is stronger than the usd. Canadians would be getting a HUGE discount if we were purchasing in the states. MAC was FOUNDED in Canada too.
It's very frustrating. I purchase MAC through other online retailers or go down south to the US stores/CCO as often as I can because of it :/
I love this stuff.
This powder stands for its name. It is truly magical.
I need this Honey Rose you speak of....
I got this from VV, too. And people need to stop hatin' on Dr. F! He's awesome! ^_^
I wish there was a translucent one too *wishes haard*
I can't wait to see the swatches and have a feel of them for myself!!!
Were they using the V V launch as a test for these? Or did they sell so well that they decided to relaunch them?
I love the promo picture for this.
Already got these with the VV collection. I actually like that Dr. Facilier is on the lid (it's kinda cute) and the boxes were cool. The new Honey Rose shade sounds pretty, though.
If it really lives up to the promises in that publicity blurb, then I will definitely want to try this. Heck, if it's got the cooling properties described, I want a VAT of the stuff so I can jump in, body and all!
Yay! I bought both of the Venomous Villains versions and I love this product. I've just been using them not as much as I'd like to because I don't want to run out. Like others are saying, it does lose the cooling effect after a few months. So this is defiantly not a product to stock up on. Only buy when one runs out. I'm currently a NC30 and both shades work for me. However, in the winter I'm a NC15-20 and then Cajun would only work as a subtle bronzer. My dark skinned Asian friend tried my Truth and Light, looked horribly ashy on her. So you do have to match this product to your skin for the best look. I recommend trying them out at your MAC counter before you buy. Love this product! Can't wait to try the new shade!!
i think i might need this
I'll have to see swatches, but I might fall for these... I love the MAC loose powder in Silver Dusk (I think that's the name) and these look like they might be similar :)
Yay! I bought Truth and Light back when VV came out and really like it. I can almost wear it as foundation, but instead I prefer it as a top-coat to give me a dewy glow now and then. I just wish I had more use for it.
Pass..........
wee! i can't wait to get truth & light this time around!!!
I purchased Truth and Light, the lightest shade, during the Venemous Villains launch and after using the powder for about 2 months, it started to lose its "cooling" sensation and was just another powder that was basically tanslucent and did nothing to set my foundation. I think this is just a gimmicky product that is not worth the money.
I love my VV Truth & light so much I even got a backup for it. Im sooo glad the made those powders permanent! =)
These are like the revolon and almay wet foundation powders.
its a setting powder?
What is the purpose of this? When would you wear this?
I have the one in Cajun--I adore it. These products *are* a little gimmicky, but they make you look good. Mission accomplished.
I'm so glad they're coming out with these again ^^ I was kicking myself for not getting Truth and Light when I had the chance, but now I can get it without the ugly Dr. Facilier on the package lol I loved the idea of these for a highlighting powder, would they work well for an overall face powder as well?
I actually have been waiting for this release to try Truth and Light. No offense to Disney, but I have never seen The Princess and the Frog and don't really know who Dr. Facilier (I probably spelled that wrong) is (so I don't need his face plastered on my powder for more $$)
YES!! YES!! I am so happy to be seeing this. I am going to stock up. I love this product. I got it when they were doing the Disney Villians collection. Awesome awesome product. Such a cool sensation. :D
I bought a back up in truth and light in the VV collection . I love it so much !
They have Truth and light from the Venemous villians collection at the CCO right now and its only $19. I have Cajun and I think I have used it twice, it no longer feels cool on the skin when I apply it so I think that feature is only temporary cause it didnt last with mine.
I've never tried these type of powders before. I am psyched about trying them now.
The description of these makes them sound like they have some type of shimmer. So are they suitable for using as an all over face powder? I can't recall if these were reviewed here but if anyone has used them, please let me know :) Thanks!
It does have a tad bit of shimmer to it. But it's very subtle, I'd equate it to the "pregnancy glow" kinda look. Make your imperfections softer and gives you the dewy, fresh finish. I also notice that the sheen doesn't transfer to your hand if you touch your face while wearing it.
Thanks for the response, Lizzi!
