MAC Hey, Sailor! (Summer 2012) Discussion

[Spikesmom]

Thanks, it's sensible but SOOOOO hard to be patient!!!

Very sensible of you Spikesmom!

 

[Spanky]

Yeah, I just received my delivery!

Yeah

! Enjoy...I'm so excited to hear what you all lucky early birds think of the collection! Where can I find the list of what you bought? Thanks in advance.

Did anyone in the NW 10-20 range pick up Launch Away? I'm still on the fence about it and would love to hear some more opinions! Fleet Fast seems to be getting all the lovin'.

Fleet Fast is darker. If you want a subtle blush, take Launch Away. If you decide to go for Fleet Fast, use a light hand.

Wow, mac-guy, that was a crazy fast delivery! Happy playtime! I can't remember, did you order all the shadows? I hope they come out with darker bronzers, especially in the PLW formula. I have Solar Riche, and don't really find it's always enough for me, esp in warmer months. I'm starting to question whether I need the brush if it's only good for softer products, but now that I think about it, it might be better for my NARS blushes!

 

[Spanky]

When it comes to Red Racer: a red lipstick is never really out of fashion. Buying RR is not risk. If you usually don't wear bronzers I would try them in store first and see if you like them. If there is no store near you, you should make a decision whether or not you will buy a bronzer without buying. All the eyeshadows are pretty.

Ok, just had a sensible moment. Why can't I ever have one for my own?

Thanks for trying to be sensible for me, but I know its going to fly out the window when I get in front of the make up!

I'm not on a buget, but with all these LE collections coming out just trying to make a pregame plan of what I want. Perhaps if the PRO people put up more swatches and FOTDs I'll be able to make a more clear list. Oh I am crazy for LS so if RR and TCAS look good there will be no regrets about buying those. And as for the bronzer, I'll have to see to believe!

Thanks for your advice.

Yeah so glad the PROs are getting their black boxes! I can't wait to see lots of swatches and FOTDs. Enjoy!

It will help me make a more accurate list and try to stick to it...

Although, in ED collection in my first 2 hauls, I didn't get YV or Havannah. When Shellcat raved about YV I went into a panic that I didn't have it. So I had to some major dectective work to get my mits on it. I went into zombie mode... must HAVE YV so everything is right in the world. I'm still working with it to see what how I can make it work best.

Have a great day everyone.

Ok, in that case:
I would definately get Red Racer and Sail la Vie. I would also get TCAS if you're ready for the bronzey lip look. It's really nice.
Of the e/s I would at least take feeling fresh, Barefoot if you don't have a pretty gold e/s yet and Jaunty if you like a sandy colour. (I paired jaunty with Nautical Navy today, cute).
Of the liners I would definately get Handforged and Emerald Sea. If you already have the TC blushes I would take FF (LA is a pinkier version of IF) and I would take Crew.
If you think you'll wear bronzer get matched up in the store for the PLW.. If you're not a l/g girl, skip those (I'm usually not much of a l/g person, but I got blessedly rich, send me sailing and riviera life, all are gorgeous).

The Sail la Vie l/s is one of my favorite items from this collection. Well, I like it all TBH

I'm not interested in Fleet Fast, just Launch Away, but I can't seem to find more than a few posts (edit: blog posts, not here) on LA while there are dozens featuring FF. Since I have pink undertones I'm curious for more information on LA since it seems to have a somewhat yellowy pull.

I think it's more of a peachy pink. I have swatched (from left to right) Launch Away, Immortal Flower and Fleet Fast. HTH. (NC 15 skin)

I am around NW10, and I love Launch Away! It appears more pink on the cheeks than it does in the pan.

I did! I posted swatches of the blushes on my NW10 skin a fair few pages back, but here they are again:



Mighty Aphrodite, Fleet Fast. Pink Tea, Launch Away

LA is a very pretty blush - it is quite similar to the TC blushes in terms of awesome pigmentation, at least on my really pale skin!

I like both blushes equally (I'm NW10-15), but I think FF is more unique, I guess that's why you see more hauls&reviews with it. A lot of people might think that they already own something similar. I wouldn't say that LA pulls yelllow, it looks very pink on me, and as mentioned before pulls pinker and more intense on skin than how it looks in the pan. I also feel like you have to really work it into the skin. When I first applied it I couldn't see much after just some swipes, but when I blended more, it showed up more intense than I expected.
I think LA is a blush that you really have to try on yourself and can't judge it just by swatches.

I really like LA on you, Gracie; it has a coral tone. On my own NC25 warm tones, I suspect it will look far cooler. Fleet Fast looks almost orange on you in this swatch; I'm not sure that it would on me.

Immortal Flower is pigmented enough for me and looks quite natural. If LA is warm enough to work on me (doubtful since Lovecloud wasn't), I'd be interested in that one as well.

Hi guys!
Sorry for the delay but I couldn't take pictures sooner. But better late than never.

I hauled Launch away blush, Orange tempera lipgloss and Sea mist suntint. I wanted Au rose but it was sold out in every store...

Here are the links to my swatches:

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not think they will sell it to you if you don't have a pro membership.

how can I order if im not a pro member? Is there a spec ial phone number? How did you order? Thanks!
