im on and off about a few things but I am defintely getting the redhead msf!!
I am getting the Fi-femme eyeshadow, one l/g and one MSF.
I am getting the redhead msf, all the redhead eyeshadows and Henna from the brunette collection.
Are the collections coming out tomorrow or Friday, I am so confused?
I think they’re coming out in STORES on Thursday, and ONLINE on Friday.
It annoys me that they changed the online date for the sale, but whatever. I’ll take what I can get.
Should be Thursday for in-store. I believe the Friday launch is for online, and of course, there are some stores who haven’t received their shipments–so you may want to call ahead!
* Brushes #165, #214, and #226
* Redhead Mineralize Skinfinish
* Blonde Mineralize Skinfinish
* B-Babe lipstick
* Live and Dye lipgloss
Actually, adding to my list because I just viewed your swatches! O_O
* Brunette MSF
* Marquise d’ Lipstick
* What A Do Lipstick
* All’s Fair Lipstick
* Soft Wave Lipgloss
I think it was Thursday for online.. but who knows? They keep changing dates. I want the Blonde MSF, the BBabe lippie, Redhead MSF, and the Fi Fi fo Fum ES.. good hunting!
well a lot more after seeing your swatches LOL and probably even more than that after you post the lip swatches!! I didn’t even want any lipglasses til I saw your pics, now I’m doomed!!
This is really hard for me 🙁 I want to get a lot of stuff but I’m on a budget so….this is my list for now:
Marquis D’ l/s
All’s Fair l/s
Strawberry Blonde l/g
Live and Dye l/g
Soft Wave l/g
214 brush
I’m passing on the MSF and I have enough highlighting powders already. The eyeshadows don’t interest me at all. It’s all about the lips with this collection!
pretty much everything haha. i loveee this collection and after seeing what a dissapointment hello kitty is i will be able to get more.
all 3 brushes
all 3 MSFs
Henna
Knight
Evening Aura
Peroxide
Strawberry Blonde
Red Devil
Chignon
Marquise D’
Evening Aura? You mean Femme Fi?! haha I’m getting confused as well, don’t worry.
Nothing, I am just not that in to MAC. I refuse to buy eyeshadow that gets all over my face when I am trying to put it on my eyes. Their eyeshadows just have way way to much fall out for me to even consider. That is why I love my Chanel!
Thanks for your swatches Christine! I am planning on:
All’s Fair
Chignon
Strawberry Blonde
Henna and maybe one other e/s
Blonde MSF
So excited!
Redhead MSF..possibly the Blonde, too
Henna
100 Strokes
Deep Shade or Top Knot…not sure..but i like dark e/s
Red Devil l/g
maybe Blowdry l/s, Live and Dye l/g
Blond MSF and if it shows SIGNIFICANT difference, then Redhead MSF too
nothing else!
I haven’t purchased anything from MAC in a year, but I’m very attracted to Red Devil l/g. Although, it does look an awful lot like a slimshine I have. The slimshine was one of the few that was cut when they made them perm, though.
100 Strokes
French Cuff
Henna [might hold off & pick up sump. olive later on if they are close enough]
Flip
& maybe strawberry blonde & red devil l/g
I just noticed I’m getting all 3 redhead e/s. I’m really limiting myself w/ this collection, the latest HK promo images are…..Yay!! speechless….
Thank you for the swatches! I’ll be getting for sure:
Strawberry Blonde
Henna
Femme Fi
maybe: Flip, 100 Strokes and Quick Tease… but I still have to wait one whole month for this launch (greetings from Poland ;)) so this list may change once I see some FOTDs starring these products.
I will focus on the lipsticks and decide which of the four colors I like most. Marquise d
I haven’t really settled on what exactly I’m going to pick up, but it will be some of the following:
Brunette MSF
Live & Dye
Strawberry Blonde
Soft Wave
Red Devil
All’s Fair
What A Do
Chignon
Knight e/s
Henna e/s
Deep Shade e/s
Femme Fi e/s [possibly]
Red Devil l/g
Strawberry Blonde l/g
Soft Wave l/g
All’s Fair
Chignon
Marquise’d
I’m so excited for this collection!
Hmm
Henna e/s
French Cuff e/s
Redhead Msf
That’s all cuz I haven’t got a chance to try them!
Love your swatches.
Thanks, Kayra 🙂
Probably nothing, unless it’s still around at the beginning of February. I told myself I wouldn’t spend any money till then…
Shayla! You’re such a good girl! 🙂
Probably skipping, because (a) it annoys me that they changed the release date to not coincide with the sale, and (b) not that much interests me. I find the brunette stuff to be boring, and not really geared toward my skintone. I thought I might pick up Henna, but I saw a comparison swatch to Sumptuous Olive, and it’s too close.
Brunette MSF
Redhead MSF
Live and Dye L/G
Peroxide L/G
Marquise d
If money were no object, I would get the following:
Blonde MSF
B-Babe l/s
Peroxide l/g
Pincurl e/s
#226 Brush
With my husband out of work though, I doubt I will be able to get anything right away. Maybe not even at all…
I’m a brunette, but mostly interested in the blonde and redhead stuff. Definitely the MSFs, and some l/s and l/g (Chignon, All’s fair, B-babe, Quicktease, Peroxide, Strawberry blonde, Live and dye), but I need to see them in person first. Not interested in the e/s or the other stuff.
I am skipping the eyeshadows since none of them seem to excite me that much AND I have colors I can use that are just like them. I am picking up lipcolors and MSF’s though. My list is: B-Babe, Strawberry Blonde, Live & Dye, Peroxide, and Redhead and Blonde MSF. Although this could become a little less once I see it in person.
almost everything for Redhead, LOL…i’m just so excited by the idea! hope when I actually shop that I’m more selective…
Well, if I could afford it all, I would get…
B-Babe Lipstick
All
Umm, pretty much everything –
all 3 msf’s
3 new brushes
Henna, Flip, Pincurl & French cuff shadows
all the lipglasses
and all the lipsticks save B-Babe, which looks too frosty for me
I hope to narrow the list down when I see everything in person.
I’ve narrowed it down as well as I could:
Red Devil lipglass
Henna eyeshadow
100 Strokes eyeshadow
the redhead MSF
226 brush
I may be tempted by the 214 and the lipsticks once I actually see them, but I hope not.
I’m getting the whole Brunette collection,because i am a brunette:) and also cause i love the collection.
I saw everything in the LA pro store…
Henna is an EXACT dupe for sumptous olive – so don’t worry if you miss out.
The darkest shadows in each collection – BBR are all chalky dusty and gross.
I don’t care for mac lip glosses.
MSF’s are pretty – Lipsticks are ok.
I didn’t buy anything – I was surprised – I thought I was going to buy 200 bucks worth of stuff. This collection is so over hyped. But is theoretically much more my style – than say Hello Kitty. Oh well, I saved some $$
I’m planning on getting everything from the redhead collection except French Cuff and 100 Strokes
Definitely Femme-Fi, and one of the MSF’s. I just can’t decide between Brunette and Redhead. Maybe the 165 brush, but I’ll have to see it in person 🙂
IMO the Redhead MSF is much prettier 🙂
I have kind of an odd question, I’m sort of a MAC makeup newbie. I am thinking of getting the Redhead MSF, but I don’t exactly understand what it’s used for. Is it a blush/highlighter? I’ve never used such a thing, and I see on the website there’s other MSF that’s for all over the face, so I don’t quite understand what to use it for.
They can be a blush OR highlighter! Depending on your skin tone and how pigmented the MSF is, you can use it as either or both 🙂
Many people do highlight their cheeks, forehead, bridge of the nose, and chin. 🙂
I’m going to use B2M for three of the following four: Strawberry Blonde l/g, Quick Tease l/g, Red Devil l/g and Femme-Fi e/s.
I’m also debating how long I can go without groceries to justify getting the brushes!
Definitely the redhead MSF, blowdry l/s, and french cuff e/s … still undecided about flip since I may have a similar color
Blonde MSF and Rehead MSF
Red Devil lipglass. I want more but hey I’m only 13. Its tough. 🙁
Blonde MSF
B-Babe
100 Strokes
Henna
Maybe Pin-Curl or Femme-Fi. I really liked it in the neo-sci fi collection but never bought it. I’m holding out on Knight I’m finally gonna get Deep Truth instead it looks pretty similar but Deep Truth looks prettier.
Chignon l/s
Red Devil l/g
Quick Tease l/g
Strawberry Blonde l/g
Femme fi e/s
Flip e/s
100 Strokes e/s
French Cuff e/s
Redhead MSF
165 brush
226 brush
I was planning to get Henna, but I’ve seen it swatched side by side with Sumptuous Olive and they’re almost EXACTLY alike.
Red Devil is really catching my eye. I also want to check out the redhead MSF. Even though you gave swatches, I really have to check the products myself before I can decide! I don’t really care for dark shadows, but I will check all of the light and medium tone ones!
All 3 brushes, all 3 MSFs, Henna e/s, Flip e/s, 100 Strokes e/s, Pincurl e/s, Blowdry l/s, *maybe* B-babe and Marquis d’ l/s depending on how they look on me, *maybe* Red Devil l/g.. I just never can use up a l/g before it goes bad.
This could change drastically when I swatch them all in person though. But the brushes and MSFs are a definite 🙂
peroxide lipglass
live and dye lipglass and b babe lipstick
Most all of the Brunette Collection – I’m passing on the MSF, the brow stuff, and the eyeliner, and possibly Deep Shade. And probably a few things from Redhead – Marquis D’ and Flip, and Teddy.
