MAC Hey, Sailor! (Summer 2012) Discussion

[martiangurll]

Thanks! I don't know what the event will be exactly, but i guess a makeover since you can make appointments for 4 days. I will try to post swatches as soon as i can after the event. I just realised that the event is in amsterdam and that i might have a change to go to inglot as well yeah!

I would love to hear how it goes (at the MAC event and the Inglot trip as well!) I am betting you get excited and can tell us the have to haves from this collection.

I hope i can give you swatches and my opinion before it releases where you are. I will try to remember to take my camera to the event. Maybe they will allow me to take pictures. I've been to inglot before and got a palette with 5 colours. They now have an online shop, but for some stupid reason you pay more online. For example 80 euro for a palette with 10 shadows that in store costs 65 euro! So i'm thinking of getting a palette with 10 colours when i go to amsterdam again. Only problem is that i want to spend a lot on Hey, Sailor! as well...

Those are the repromotes and perm products, but some swatches are better than none, right? I don't think I have a Crystal Avalanche, looks like a killer brow/tear duct color and special packaging is a good reason to snag it, right?

 

[pemily]

We need some swatches :-( I'm getting bored lol

I'm getting bored lol

Same here!

 

[2browneyes]

Me three lol

To me, kelly green and grass green are two different things. I think this will be one I will have to swatch in person before I can decide. Wait, the called this emerald green, right? I'm confused now. It's not emerald green to me either. Ack!!

On my screen, it looks exactly like a Kelly Green, a soft green-yellow grass-y green. It will look gorgeous on lighter eye colors to add some neutral color, but in a more colorful way rather than Chartreuse-ish.

 

[Anitacska]

Yes, true, but I got so excited about the swatches, it was an anti-climax to find out she'd swatched 3 perms/repromotes.

I am considering getting a bronzer from this collection but am wondering if I really need one. I've never used one before and am not exactly sure what the "purpose" of it is.

I am NW 20 and do not tan my face or body AT ALL.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I like to use bronzers to warm up my NW15-20 complexion. It is not about simulating a fake bake, but rather just adding a warm glow to the skin.

Maybe you can get a make over and ask for a look with a bronzer? This will help you to see if you actually like the look before you commit to a purchase.

Go for a red-based bronzer rather than a yellow one to avoid a fake bake look.

 

[Sugar & Spice]

lol @fake bake!

I think I might just get one of the blushes from this collection. Nothing else really stands out for me and I'm not too crazy about the packaging.

I'm expecting a small haul, too. Maybe a blush, highlight powder, and a lip pencil. =)

 

[iheartmakeup412]

This and Beth Ditto are going to be really small hauls for me. Im only getting a lipstick and a lip pencil from Hey Sailor and 2 lip pencils from BD. I love the packaging but I feel like I have dupes for everything. I guess that's what happens when you've been collecting for 7 years. I don't mind cause I'm sure I'll be spending a lot on HC.

 

[ClassicBeauty]

I think ill get the eye shadows, I am not sure I love the sailor theme but just not crazy about the colours. I will try to get the tote or the cosmetic bag, surly that won't be back...will be a rare thingy. Now the makeup part is dupe-able I think or will be a repromte at one point maybe.

Thanks Mac-Guy. I do have reddness in my cheeks, should I still go for a red-based bronzer?

Yes. You can cancel out/color-correct the redness with some yellow-based (not orange!) set powder before you apply the bronzer.
