MAC Heavenly creature discussion

[j087]

Thank you! Her pics just put cut a caper back on my list. all her pics are beautiful. Is it me or is she wearing contacts that make her pupils look HUGE?

Yep, they're circle lenses. Very popular and trendy across Asia esp in Japan, Korea, and China. And for that reason, to make your eyes look bigger and more doll-like. I've seen a lot of girls wear those, and they look extremely unnatural and creepy. Yikes!

She picked a great Supernova. It looks gorgeous!

 

[Knope2012]

Those are gorgeous swatches! Cut A Caper is definitely on my list, even if I don't get any other lipsticks. I think I want Supernova too, and maybe Star Wonder. Supernova and Cut a Caper are the only ones I'm definitely getting now. I'm glad I'm doing a smaller haul this time-the products I do get will be that much more special.

I need these 2 CSGs for sure too! And maybe Meteoric....do you think that it is a must-have?

I may go back for meteoric...I'll decide when I pick up my items next week.

 

[MACina]

Thank you!

I think that I will get it....I do so much love CSGs and might regret skipping it later.

I'm glad Sky is one of your faves. It was the mes i was most interested in from the beginning, but it isn't talked about much.

Cut a caper looks sparkly, almost frosty, in her pictures. That's not at all how it looks on me. Its more of a nude-pink creme on my pigmented lips. I wonder if the color is actually different with this collection?

L to R: Sky, Aurora, Universal Appeal, Invincible Light, Neo Nebula,
Water, Bright Moon, Magnetic Attraction, Earthly

THANK YOU purplerinne & liesierre!!!

 

[sampantha7]

I am just praying that I don't like a lot of the MES when I actually swatch them.  With the MSFs and blushes that I want (plus a couple of lip products), this is going to be a pricey haul without adding any MES.

Gaaah! Me too! This is always my fav collection, but always soo pricey!

 

[Richelle83]

Thanks Richelle

A get together would be totally awesome!

Yes, please have wifi, can't have Spanky getting withdrawals from Specktra deprivation! Gum surgery yuck, I hate having medical stuff done like that. Had a root canal last year, thought I was going to die while hearing all the drilling and suctioning *shivers*. I bet the pool was fun, all that sunblock and still burned

My local MAC (Berkeley, California) has been requiring purchase a gift card as pre-payment for pre-sales for quite a few months now - in fact, most, if not all, of this year. Last year i paid when i picked up my stuff, but now the money gets sucked out of my bank account and i still have to wait a couple weeks for the official release to get my treasures home, even tho' the product is there in the shop. It can be quite a hit when it comes near the end of a month, and i don't get the pleasure of playing with my new pretties.

I completely understand. Even if i could have posted swatches, colors look so different on everyone, and we all have different taste, different likes and dislikes, so my swatches might not have been a huge help.

I know i've gone in after seeing swatches, sure i knew what i wanted, and ended up with different products after testing on myself.

 

[Anneri]

I still can't make up my mind what to get from this collection!
For this time I'm happy that I still have to wait until July unti we get it over here!

HoneyMilk.... Real quick regarding your B2M experience...
I had this issue just recently as well with a MUA telling me I couldn't B2M a depotted shadow, but luckily during that same experience I was also B2M-ing a pot of Studio Finish SPF35 Concealer...
Guess what? The concealer pot looks EXACTLY like a depotted eyeshadow pot without its pan. Same size, looks identical. So I asked her, why can I not B2M a depotted shadow when all that's missing is the pan when THIS concealer is the SAME thing in EVERY way? She had NO answer for that and quickly B2M'ed my items.
So... next time you may want to mention this if it's a problem again. That pan has NOTHING to do with a B2M pot! HTH

Earthshine is really dark, more of a bronzer, i think. You are so fair that i suspect it's much too dark for you.

Depending on the balance of colors in the swirls, it can be a bit more plummy than brown, but swirled together it does look fairly dark brown. The one i tested had so much metallic i was surprised when it turned out as dark as it did. I'm going to re-test, but i suspect it isn't going to work on us pale ones.
