MAC Hey, Sailor! (Summer 2012) Discussion

[MACerette]

I wish I could admit this to myself, lol. Red Racer looks so pretty, though!

Thank you! I think despite my blonde envy, dark hair suits me better. Every now and then I will throw some red into the mix.

What a good list! Enjoy all your goodies!

I think so too. You are gorgeous the way you are.
Thanks! Will do

 

[MACerette]

Aww i'm sorry about that

Thanks. Really grateful for the tip though...

Thank you so much for the comparison swatches MACerette!

They really show that Red Racer is different and unique.

Some reds compared. Note that the picture's colours may deviate somewhat from the colours IRL.

From left to right:
Red Racer, Runaway Red, M.A.C. Red, Heartless, Russian Red, Scarlet Ibis, Lady Danger, Ruby Woo.
I forgot to include Lady Bug and Prolong, but hey, who cares...
Red Racer ais a true red, whereas Runaway Red is deeper with a blue undertone.

And a close up of Red Racer, Runanway Red, M.A.C. Red and heartless. HTH.

Off topic:
@ Pinkdollface: I have been using the trind nail balm and cuticle balm for 13 days now (forgot to use them twice I guess) and today is the first day I have applied (Russian Red) nail polish again. Hopefuly they won't chip this time.

YW

Red Racer is a standard pure red. No funny things, just a nice red in a satin finish in a cute package.

I'm crossing my fingers for you

Thanks! I passed by the Bijenkorf yesterday, although I did not sign up for the event. I was nice. A really pretty dark girl was tap dancing and there weren't that many people (yet). Perhaps because most of them went the first few days? I was glad I went to have a look though (with my MAC bag dangling on my arm).

The event was nice indeed. When the MA was doing my make up some little girls kept looking how she did it which was cute. When the dark girl was tap dancing it was actually crowded. There were also more MA's working than normal.

Thanks MACerette!

i was just going to get feeling fresh but now.....

I know. One of the MUA approached me but when I showed her the bag, she turned around quickly. No time to waste on people you will not sell stuff to... I wish there had been a shop/cook event here. I would have loved to go there....

Yes a Shop/Cook event would have been nice.

 

[MACerette]

YW! Get it while it's there. Feeling fresh sold out really quickly on the UK website and it really is stunning. To catch a sailor is also really pretty, and Sail la Vie, and...... Soooo many things in this collection are pretty. The packaging of the lipsticks and bronzer is really nice too.

I tried Crew as a blush today and it definitely works better for that on me. I love it

Also i don't think it's like lightscapade, because lightscapade on me is a lot lighter.

True. I did a quick swatch in the store and the stripes were really pigmented.

Funny thing is they were still decorating the store when I got there and the HS stands were untouched. I got the first swatches. That's nice for a change: an immaculate collection

You've got me thinking about Red Racer again...

It is nice, but I don't think it's a must have. I have quite a few reds. Three more or less bright reds and then many more brown reds etc like Viva Glam I for example. I think it is pretty and the packaging adds to the goodness. However, it is not a unique red. Just a nice straight up red in a cuuuute summery tube.

Do you know by any chance where we can get the make up bags?

I have Runway Red and Scarlet Ibis that aren't close, but they are red. The other red i have is Russian Red and that's more blue based, but it's the closest of the three. I'm wondering if i would like this one better than Russian Red. What do you think of Russian Red compared to Red Racer?

Red Racer is fresher, especially for summer. I wear reds often and I take which ever one I am in the mood for that day. I tend to wear reds like Russian Red and Runaway Red on gloomier days and go for the brighter red on sunnier / warmer days. However, there is no actual rule for me. I wear the make-up that I am in the mood for that day or that moment (I always carry a stash of lipsticks with me to be able to change if the mood changes). Scarlet Ibis is a fresher version of Lady Danger to me. I love all my reds.

I also wear what i'm in the mood for, but it makes sense to wear brighter reds on sunnier days, because most likely your in a happier mood. At least that's how it works for me. I love my reds as well. I should wear them more, but i have so many lippies and i keep buying them

Same here. It looks great on you by the way
