MAC - Naturally Discussion

[martiangurll]

i already have it sweetie and it's freaking awesome on me... i'm so modest it's the msf that created my love for msf's in general because it really adds a fabulous glow and sheen to my cheeks!
sooo which mes are worth buying - twilight falls for sure but i quite fancy getting two.

I got Twilight Falls, Cloudy Afternoon, In the Sun, and Daylight. If I could only get one, it would be Cloudy Afternoon because I thought it was the most unique. I felt we have seen versions of the others before. I did not get Faux Gold and regretted it, then got In the Sun and I think I like it more than I would have enjoyed FG, because I like the red-gold, bronzed aspect and I can selectively use my brush to get an area with more purple for a different color than just gold. I haven't used the other 2 MES yet but Daylight was gorgeous on the SA, so I had to get it or fork over my Team Purple card. It is my most coveted shade of mauve on her eyes, the balance between pink and purple that really makes the blue eyes pop for me. Twilight Falls basically appealed to me because they were saying it was dog turd brown. How could I say No to that? So far, BF likes the ItS the best...

Not sure if I should get Fresh Honey or not. Which blushes are you interested in?

Early Morning for sure, but I waffle a bit on Fresh Honey. It's a strong maybe. ;-)
I also want Twilight Falls and Cloudy Afternoon, and maybe Daylight or Summer Haze. And lip products - I'm still on the hunt for the perfect nude! I'll test them for sure.

 

[PinkBasset]

Then I am not waiting alone. What's on your lists?

The only thing I want for sure is Summer Haze MES. I was very excited for the blushes at first, but now I've lost the interest. So I have to see if they impress me in person. Fresh Air l/g looks nice too. I might B2M for Pillow Talk/Beach Sand if they are nice, but likely they are not for me.

How about you, are you planning to get anything?

I am curious about FH, it's an unusual colour for me, but often such colours turn very orange on me, we'll see. TF is on my list and CA as well. Hope you find a great nude, I've given up on them.

Great lists. I am still very interested in the blushes, EM and FH as they are the most unusal compared to what i have. I am also interested in TF as cool brown and maybe CA. Why do you think the lipstick will not work for you?

 

[ahoythere]

All three blushes!!
Blonde MSF (already swapping for Redhead)
Twilight Falls
Cloudy Afternoon
Daylight (maybe.....I need to compare it to Hold that Pose)
286

But I have a huge list for Tour De Fabulous as well so I may have to "get sane" with this list.

Does anyone have dates for the UK for this yet?

Great list. I could not get myself to buy Hold that Pose and might get Daylight instead, depending in the veining. We get the collection beginning of February, so I'll guess it's the same for the UK?

I think I am liking Daylight better than HTP.

 

[Mac-Guy]

I think I am liking Daylight better than HTP.

Is that texture or color-wise? I also prefer Daylight, but that's probably due to the lack of defined veining when I was hunting HTP. Daylight is also slightly warmer, which makes it look more natural (neutral - not too warm or too cool) on my complexion.

Then I am concentrating myself on Daylight instead

For sure test the lip products in person, at least on me, none of them had enough oomph - just the wrong shades for my coloring. I'd call Early Morning the most all-around versatile of the blushes, since you can use it for a sun-kissed bronzer look (like My Paradise w/o any glitter) or you can put it on more heavily and have a dramatic terra cotta red. I wouldn't waffle on Fresh Honey, though - it's so unique. Not to mention, these blushes are so soft and blendable, they work really well mixed together to get custom colors - I love a mix of EM and FH - it has a wonderful glow.

 

[liba]

I think I am liking Daylight better than HTP.

I actually have a really tough time preferring one or the other and I wear them together, with HTP on the lid and Daylight in the crease and blended up to the brow or visa versa. I like the texture of HTP just a bit better than Daylight, which is flatter and less dimensional. I don't need to wet HTP to get the look I want from it, but Daylight needs to be applied wet to really show up at its best on me too, which is another consideration. They're both really perfect soft colors for me and never look overdone (and always turn men's heads with that certain double take you know they're doing when they can't quite figure out if you're wearing makeup or if you just have really nice eyes

).

I guess all I can think is that HTP will be a little less useful as winter turns into summer and Daylight will be a little less useful as fall and winter roll around, but they're perfectly on par for me and I've used them both a ton. They're both up there in my Most Used MES list, for sure.

I can't wait for this to come out! I may skive uni on the Thursday morning and go to the MAC counter in Debs to pick up my fairrrly big haul I have £45 of giftcards though, so I feel a tad more justified!
I want:
Redhead MSF
Blonde MSF
Early Morning MB
Subtle Breeze MB
Cloudy Afternoon MES
Twilight Falls MES
Summer Haze MES
Daylight MES
286 brush
And maybeee In The Sun MES - I'm not really a fan of copper shades, so what veining would be best for a more rosey-gold shade? Please advise me!

 

[Ashleybubbles83]

i'm just getting started...isn't that sad

Is everybody done with Naturally yet?

 

[PrettyKitty]

The only thing I bought it Subtle Breeze, I already have Redhead and Blonde.

I have a review on my blog! (in french)

Here's a swatch:

 

[bis]

Subtle Breeze is closer to Pet Me from Fabulous Felines than Giggly, especially the texture (which has a "natural skin" type of finish that the sheen of Giggly), but also the color, which has warmer undertones...it's more rose than soft pink. SB is WAY more pigmented than Giggly too, but also really easy to buff out smoothly. It's also softer and kicks up more powder when you take it from the pan. If you love the color of Giggly but would have preferred something near matte, you will flip over Subtle Breeze. If you need to budget, you could pass on it, but I'd say if it was a question between SB and and extra MES, get SB instead!   I was going to pass on In the Sun, since I have Faux Gold, but if you find one with plenty of magenta veins, it's really gorgeous, more of a rich rose gold color, while FG is more warm and a bit plainer shade overall. I prefer my In the Sun to my FG. Summer Haze was pretty but seemed very simple and dupeable compared to ITS. Could be a perfect highlight color for the right skin tone, though, if you are looking for that. I love Giggly too and I'm going to still wear it in some looks, rather than Summer Breeze. Summer Breeze for sure with matte lipsticks and mauve colors (it's perfect with Mehr, Deliciously Forbidden, Flaunting It, Legendary). It's also nice if you want a look that incorporates a punchy, but not overly strong cheek with bright mattes like Party Parrot and Scarlet Ibis, even Runaway Red - you can get that 40's Hollywood Technicolor look with this combo really well, like this: Fresh Honey is the most unique color of all the blushes for sure. In a pinch you could dupe Early Morning with My Paradise - they're pretty related, although not the same. Fresh Honey is its own thing and really cool, as a yellow orange color that even an NC15 like me can wear and look natural in.  For sure test the lip products in person, at least on me, none of them had enough oomph - just the wrong shades for my coloring. I'd call Early Morning the most all-around versatile of the blushes, since you can use it for a sun-kissed bronzer look (like My Paradise w/o any glitter) or you can put it on more heavily and have a dramatic terra cotta red. I wouldn't waffle on Fresh Honey, though - it's so unique. Not to mention, these blushes are so soft and blendable, they work really well mixed together to get custom colors - I love a mix of EM and FH - it has a wonderful glow.

I am just afraid that I will turn Fresh Honey Oompha Loompa orange, you make it sound much more yellow than orange. I cannot wait to give it a try. What eye and lip makeup are you wearing with FH?

There is nothing like going to a MAC counter first thing to check out a collection For ITS I would go for one with lots of violet veining to keep the copper at bay, but then I am not very good with those colors. I hope you find one you like

Merci pour le swatch. I like the way it looks on your skin, those MB seem to be really versatile and have great texture.

 

[Richelle83]

I keep trying to get more from this collection but I'm too lazy to swatch the MES and lipsticks. Which is fine because I need to save up for S3/C3!

It just means money saved - or re-allocated - for S3C3 or Vera Neumann.

 

[liba]

it runs very yellow. 'doesn't look oompah loompah or fake tan orange on me....more like a very golden color with some apricot undertones. I think it looks great with Sheer Mandarin Sheen Supreme - if you can wear that lippy, you can definitely wear Fresh Honey. I also liked it with Legendary and Seeds of Desire mattenes and all the lipsticks from Semi-Precious, since those all have the right undertones to blend well (even Gem of Roses). I'll wear it with Scarlet Ibis too, once I'm more tanned, although I think it's a nice blush for this time of year where you may not want to totally bust out the bronzer but would like a little bit of color on your face.

It's also a good blush to wear with minimal makeup to just make a natural statement with well moisturized skin, a little lip balm and some pencil liner in black or teal or bronze.

 

[xasperadastra]

this collection will be here on Feb. and I've decided to take only Fresh Honey and A perfect day !

 

[HoneyMilk]

Weird question... But I just noticed that my APD has a crack going through it. It's a hairline crack... But it's almost the length of the lipstick. Should I be worried that my lipstick is going to crumble in half? Should I contact CS?
