MAC Hey, Sailor! (Summer 2012) Discussion

[Anitacska]

Yeah I know! I've just got the new Estee Lauder gelee powder eyeshadow palette with my points (£35) and I still have some left over, plus since I have their credit card, I also have a £13 money off voucher. Gotta love free stuff.

I prefer Debenhams because I'm usually at uni from 7am to 7pm, so there's no-one in the house to sign for MAC boxes! Also points are awesome - I'll be getting £15 worth off my stuff tomorrow

sooo finally I bought:

Shore Leave (it's lighter than how I was expecting it, I have to try it)
Emerald sea (like it!!)
Handforged (super like it)
Blessedly rich (it's a really strange color to me... a pink copper?? I have to see it tomorrow in day light)

That's all for Hey Sailor!!

I've also taken Young Venus from Extra Dimension *___* , two permanent lip liners (Nightmoth and Cherry) and Reel Sexy and Star Quality ^^

Now I'm thinking about adding myth lipglass to my May haul...

 

[Icecaramellatte]

Which lipstick matches Blessedly Rich?

 

[bis]

For anybody who has seen shore leave lip pencil is it similar to hip & happy pencil and would it be a good base for impassioned

No, Shore Leave is way lighter, it's a really light color and would go well with Flamingo and Reel Sexy. It seems to be made for RS.

In one of those swatches Fleet Flash looked more pink...I'll have to try them both but I'm still leaning more toward Launch Away.

Fast Fleet is not pink, at least it was not on me. Launch Away was a very light pink, much lighter than I expected, looked a bit ashy to me. Fo those that said that the green eyeshadow is like the green PLW, they were spot on. The PLW is a tiny bit more yellow and definitely has a nicer texture. The HS green swatched a bit glittery, not what I am used to from Frosts. The PLW bronzer were really nice in texture, but the colors are not the usual Refined Golden bronzy colors. I tried Sun Dipped and it was not orange on me like all the others, but then it was very golden. Jaunty is like a lighter Era and a less pink Naked Lunch, but same level of lightness. Barefoot is a very nice gold, but somehow I felt it was a deja-vu, although great texture.

Great haul! Hope you like your goodies! Blessedly Rich is now starting to tempt me...!

I missed out on Flamingo and haven't picked up RS - any other colours I could use SL with, or would it even be okay on it's own filling in the lips? Or should I just get RS?

 

[Piarpreet]

What's on your list?

did't u see it? I want too many things and i said i was only gonna get the red lippie! I'm getting 3 lippies (all except the taupe one), 1 blush (lightest one), crew, 1 eyeshadow (jaunty), green liner..... I can't think of more.... HOpefully more swatches will change my mind and make me scratch stuff from my list. I do not want to hoard highlights....there is nothing special about crew...and here i am...wanting it.

Of course you can use it on its own, with a clear or colored lipglass, cremesheen glass (nude, pink, coral will look good).. you can use it under pink and coral lipsticks.. I bet it will be good under shades like Viva Glam Nicky too ^^

Does anyone know if the Nautical eyeshadow has a MAC dupe? Thru The Night PLW, perhaps?

 

[martiangurll]

Anyone who has experience the body oil, do they have a scent?

Is there anything different with the prolongwear bronzer compared to the regular bronzer IRL?

Is Launch Away as ashy as it looks in those swatches?

Is there any glitter in Crew or just shimmer and how is the shine factor? (I am thinking of skipping Launch Away p/b and get Crew instead)

Sail La Vie is awesome in swatches!!!!!!!!!

 

[sherm]

I believe this is going to be my final list:
Old Gold pigment
Handforged e/l
Send Me Sailing l/g
Red Racer l/s

My list was tiny, then it grew, then it shrank again. It's just as well to keep this one short so I can pick up more from Heavenly Creature!

 

[duku]

They are sheer but you will get the benefit of an SPF. I like s/t for the pool or at the beach, especially as they are easy to apply.

Thanks, Mac-Guy! I'm very tempted.

That's just what I wanted Jaunty to be :eyelove:

 

[singer82]

Emerald Sea liner
Red Racer l/s
Gone Sailing Makeup Bag Set

Rose Au suntint is trying to creep on my list. But I'm trying to be strong. Hopefully more swatches will help talk me out of it haha. We must stick to team 3! lol

LOL I have 3 on my list as well:
Riviera Life
Orange Tempera
Emerald Sea

What's on your list?

Yeah I'm starting to become disappointed with Launch Away after seeing more swatches because it does look ashy. Fleet Fast will probably be the blush I end up with...

Fleet Fast look sooooo gorgeous! I'll end up with that one too. And it's not like I need another blush after Reel Sexy and Tres Cheek!

I want to know, too! Is there any price difference, too?

Don't know if this has posted but here...

WOW!! I want this lippie NOW!!

Not what I thought. =( Not sure I'll get it if it is like scarlet ibis, but I am running out of scarlet ibis.

edited to add, I read Scarlet Ibis, and thought hibiscus. OOPS!

Probably should have introduced myself, but I was keen to jump in since I've been haunting this forum.

I'm a very warm toned NC30 (anyone remember Merle Norman seasons? I'm an autumn) so cool tones look hideous on me. Based on the swatches I've seen so far, I think my list is:

Sail la Vie (seems slightly redder and hopefully a tad less in your face orange than Morange) OR Riviera Life (I don't need both - repeat to self as required)
Red Racer (depends how warm it is - haven't seen great swatches yet)
Shore Leave lip pencil (will look good with some recent coral purchases: Ravishing LG, See Sheer and perhaps even Razzledazzler)
Fleet Fast (unless it's too close to a dupe for my other coral type blushes: Peachykeen, Melba, Modern Mandarin and Immortal Flower)
167SH
I think I'd like to try one of the bronzers. I haven't used one for a VERY long time (maybe 20 years). I used to be very fond of shimmery bronze; a great look for mid-20s, but not now (mid-40s). Does anyone have any recommendations? The MUA suggested Matte when I said I wanted to avoid anything too shimmery (anything with outright glitter is a non-starter). Has anyone tried the bronzers in this collection?

Thanks!
