By Request is a small group of limited edition shades that MAC is having their fans vote on and will release the winners for a second round. I received an email about this collection, it is not listed on the website. You have to vote via Facebook or your mobile phone, there is a link in the email taking to you to the voting area. I am currently on the MAC Facebook page and am looking at these shades from this link.
"Bring back your favorite discontinued shades of Lipstick, Lipglass, and Eye Shadow! Vote for them March 12 - 30. The top 9 shades will be available to purchase in August. Only one vote per category, per person, per day." I originally was hoping that this was a write-in contest since I have been lamenting Way To Love since the middle of 2009 and still haven't found a dupe for it.
Here are the contenders!
Lipstick - Colour plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made MAC famous.
- 3N - milky pastel pink (Warm and Cozy 2009)
- Candy Yum Yum - matte neon pink (Quite Cute 2011)
- Eden Rocks - pinky beige with mauve (Eden Rocks 2001)
- Moxie - bright pink (Retro Matte Lipsticks 1999)
- Rocker - burrgundy red with glitter (Time Rocker 1999)
- Shitaki - taupe brown with shimmer (Cuisine 2001)
Lipglass - A unique lip gloss available in a wide variety of colours that can create a high gloss, glass-like finish or a subtle sheen. Designed to be worn on its own, over Lip Pencil or Lipstick, Tinted Lipglass is the perfect product for creating shine that lasts. It's pigmented, very shiny, and can impart subtle or dramatic colour. It contains Jojoba Oil to help soften and condition the lips. Tinted Lipglass is packaged in a convenient bottle with a sponge tip applicator that provides a quick, smooth, even application.
- 2N - neutral yellow pink (Warm and Cozy 2009)
- Bait - iris-pink with gold pearl (Lure 2006)
- Cult of Cherry - clean red with red pearl (Cult of Cherry 2008)
- Emancipation - pale neutral pink (Wonder Woman 2011)
- Flash of Flesh - light nude pink with pearl (D'Boheme 2005)
- Icescape - sheer pink with pink pearl (Lovelace 2009)
Eye Shadow - Highly pigmented powder. Applies evenly, blends well.
- Heavenly Bliss - soft golden taupe (Eden Rocks 2001)
- Moth Brown - soft metallic gray brown (Madame B 2006)
- Guacamole - light green with gold pearl (Salsabelle 2004)
- Cool Heat - teal with dimensional pearl (Cool Heat 2008)
- Jete - sandy coral (Danse 2006)
I did find a link to this contest on the MAC website when I was pulling up the product descriptions but you have to go to the product itself and then follow through on the link. The Facebook page seems to be the easiest way to vote for your shades. I voted for the following: Lipstick - Candy Yum Yum; Lipglass - 2N; and Eye Shadow - Heavenly Bliss. I missed all of these shades the first time around, in fact some of Lipstick shades were first released when I began high school and was nowhere close to using MAC makeup. Candy Yum Yum is an awesome matte bright pink and it wasn't my type of shade when the collection was released last April but now it is just the type of shade that I have been wearing this whole spring. 2N is a great neutral gloss that will work well against a strong eye or for everyday makeup looks. The same applies for Heavenly Bliss, I will use this shade all the time, it will work well with almost every neutral shade that I own.
The rules state that you can only vote once a day, so if there is a shade or two that you really love and want to see again then I recommend voting every single day!
