MAC Hey, Sailor! (Summer 2012) Discussion

[katred]

Those who have hauled, what're your Hey, Sailor! looks? I was in a rush this morning and wanted to use the eye shadows but I was so tired I couldn't even think of what to do with them. I'm lacking inspiration at the moment.. or I'm just so exhausted with exams that I no longer have an imagination lol.

I haven't hauled yet, but I'd personally love to see a combination of Crystal Avalanche with Barefoot on the eyes. I've had CA for ages and I love it,because it really makes a bright pop on the eyes. I think the combination of shimmery whiter-than-white and rich gold would look lovely. Especially with an intense red or orange lip. Sort of a bold look, but I think it could work. (See? I said there was hardly anything I wanted and I'm already planning looks...)

I had the first haul today, I may come back for the eye shadows

I really love the lipglasses, although I am a lipstick girl!



The first on the left is Fleet Fast. From top to bottom: Blessedly Rich, Riviera Life, Sail la Vie, (Hibiscus next to it), Au Rose, Sun Dipped.

Sun Dipped looks beautiful. Are you close to NW20?

I am NC20

No, not at all...you do have to make an appt. though. It's a makeover event. Do you need the number?

Yes please

I hate having to choose between products too! If it launches early and I have to do two purchases (one after I get paid), I'll get Crew, Sail La Vie, and Red Racer first. Shore Leave and either Feeling Fresh or Launch Away will be second. My goal is to come out under $100 for each collection, as that did not happen with ED or SSS/CCC.

I do that too, i try not to pay more than 80-100 euros but if 2 (or even worse 3) collections come out the same month, I know I'll be spending a lot.

 

[Sappheiros]

The more I look at everyone's swatches, the more I'm getting tempted by this collection. Crew does look pretty in your swatch, but it seems like I have so many light pink blushes... I think there's part of me that hates the idea of letting the "summer special" powder pass me by, since I have Marine Life and My Paradise. (And I use them both, particularly ML, very frequently.)

As far as not getting the collections, I think it's worth double-checking. Maybe not all counters are getting them, or maybe they'll only be available on line, but it seems strange that you wouldn't get the collections at all. Hopefully, you get better news soon.

Crew is very smooth and blendable! I think it would be amazing when layered over blushes like Stunner.

I'm going to the PRO store tommorrow to complete my haul so I'll ask them! Unfortunately, the greek Mac site doesn't have an online store.

I have had Crew on and off my list so many times my head is starting to spin

 

[Shellcat]

Here you go...MAC Galleria in Houston: 713-629-5566


Betty is a sweetheart! So are Lisette, Ashley and Darlene. If you want a male MUA, go for Cory or Shakespeare.

Everyone is SUPER helpful there. My favorite MAC store ever!

Yes please

2nd part:

I am still in doubt if I am done. I really wasn't interested in the suntints, however I am now somewhat interested in Au Rosé. Not sure yet. And the piggies... Don't know. I really want to be done now. I am also still thinking about some additional Reel Sexy stuff. I know you all recognize that itchy feeling... And YV EDES is still haunting me. Sigh... I want to win the lottery.

 

[MACerette]

I swatched on the store feeling fresh and the styledriven one. Feeling fresh is more vibrant,so If I had to choose one of them, I would definitely go for feeling fresh!




I do that too, i try not to pay more than 80-100 euros but if 2 (or even worse 3) collections come out the same month, I know I'll be spending a lot.

I agree. I swatched it too, just to be sure which one to get. Both are very pretty, but Feeling Fresh jumped out more to me.

And... After S3/C3 on which I splurged I said to myself I wouldn't buy anymore until the Marilyn collection comes out. But so many pretty collections have come out lately, it's driving me crazy. At first I was only going to get Sail la Vie and Crew from this collection, but then it warmed up to me and now see what I got in the end... I also only wanted lightscapade and Heroine from RS and I was only going to get WoG, Superb and Glorify (and perhaps MP) from ED. That didn't happen either. (Skipped Glorify btw.)

The moment I saw the pictures of HC blushes on Beautyscene.nl, I immediately knew I wanted those blushes (and the MSF's). I am now trying to minimize my list, because I am also eager to get some Nars blushes... I am running out of space and I have bought so much the last couple of months that it takes long for me to try everything, which is a waste.

Ohhh if you do get some nars be sure to try angelika!!! Think that's how it's spelt I love it!!

 

[MACerette]

I love it!!

I want to get that one. But what is your experience? Glittery cheeks? Non?

 

[gracie90]

I've been trying Nude On Board for a week, but it's just too yellow for me I should have waited for a Mac-Guy recommendation of bronzer rather than the MA at the counter!
Anyway, I can't return it since I've used it a few times, but if anyone is interested in buying it for £15 plus shipping then let me know!

Awe, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can sell it. It might be a good shade for somebody who has stronger yellow undertones and/or wants to use it more as a setting powder rather than a bronzer. If you decide to keep it, try to mix it with a a strong red-based blush. Apple Red b/p has just been repromoted as a Pro item, which might the best color to turn NoB into a more wearable shade for NW folks.


PS: I was so tempted to get NoB just for the name, so I don't blame you for picking it. I just knew it wouldn't look right on my NW skin; IMO, it does not really work on NW complexions (pale or dark). I'm still bummed that LLB from SB was not repromoted. It's the most natural bronzer ever.

 

[duku]

Jaunty looks really nice paired with Soba!

In the pan I can see glitter but I honestly don't see it on my face.... The thing with nars Is don't Take their testers too seriously!!! There always glitter bombs due to people double dipping, and there are some colors that are crazy glittery. You want a swatch with me wearing it Tommorow Hun?

It's ok! The MA chose it for me because it was "the lightest", not according to being NW, which should have been a clue that she was talking rubbish haha!
I think I'm going to check out Soft Sand or Sun Dipped - any thoughts?
