MAC Heavenly creature discussion

[duckrodeo]

WHEW! That was quite a ride goin thru 400+ unread messages in this thread! Then Specktra was down and I was cursing it happened right on my lunch break!! Thank you to everyone that posted swatches and descriptions! I love this informative forum I hope everyone enjoys their goodies! In a few short hours I'll be able to open up my box! Yeahhh! I'm satisfied with my choices thanks to all the wonderful pictures, swatches and descriptions posted today! I think Venus would look just like Speed Dial on me, so I'm not remorseful in skipping. I'm glad Pleasureseeker and Cut a Caper are nothing special if Flamingo and Razzledazzler are owned. And I'm satisfied that Solar Ray and Light Year are chunky! Oh! I'm also just mehh about Fire Sign since I have Viva Glam Cyndi (tho it's more coral) and it's nothing like Rose Maiden

 

[Richelle83]

Oh no....I JUST ordered it

Well you know there is good possibility it won't look that way on you! That's all I got. Oh and Maneater's swatch might help you out better.

What did you order?

T will have swatches up tonight apparently:

Pinnwand-Fotos

Does Fire Sign look a little brown here? Or am I just seeing things?

Thank you everyone -- I so love Spektra and have had a lot of laughs with my daughter about the hiding from hubby posts.

Yes, it does. But IMO it's just her lighting, all colours look a little warmer in her pics than they do in IRL.

Thank you so much! Do you think if you have rose quartz then you don't need CotU?

Thanks!

Gah...this is gonna be one of those collections where I'm gonna be sad for months because I couldn't afford everything I wanted. Must stay strong and only buy 3 things...I still need to save money for the Electric Cool eyeshadows!

I know! If my husband had any idea he would probably kill me but I want some electric cool shadows too.

 

[Shellcat]

Crapola!!! LOL!!!

In that pic that was Star Wonder in the middle with RQ on the bottom. And yes, SW and RQ are very similar!!!


Center Of The Universe is the coral one in the other swatches! Sorry sweetie for the oopsie! LOL!!!

Oh no problem at all, I really appreciate your swatches. What do you think of CotU? I have NW15-20 skin normally, but am tanned right now... it doesn't look that special.

Sounds great! What brush are you planning on using for Earthshine? I am definitely going to pick a pretty multicoloured one

Finally, a collection I can sink my teeth into! From MAC I've only bought *checks MUA Diary* 2 items plus 3 B2M freebies so far this year, so I think I can justify a small haul. Here's my list so far. I will B2M for 1-2 lipsticks, buy 1 CSG, 1 MSF and the VAE. From earlier this year I still want the 167SH brush, Star Quality CSG and 1-2 sheen supreme lipsticks, so we'll see how I allocate the funds

Lipstick
Venus
Fire Sign *maybe*

Cremesheen Glass
Meteoric -
Astral
Galaxy Rose

Mineralize Skinfinish
Light Year *maybe*
Star Wonder
Center of the Universe - *maybe*

286 Brush *probably not*

Mineralize Volcanic Ash Exfoliator

 

[Shellcat]

On me(NC30/35) it is like a nice, coral blush with sheen. I think it is really pretty!

I Love RQ, but i hate having to work around the glittery center. Maybe SW is my answer!

So when is this collection in stores? I thought it was supposed to be next week, but it's online already (and nothing sold out yet!). When is it out at The Bay? I need to go on the release day for this one.

HERE THEY ARE!! Cut a Caper lipstick (lustre), Light Year MSF, Earthshine MSF, Star Wonder MSF
Star Wonder MSF, Earthshine MSF, Light Year MSF

Earthshine MSF

It's a skin tone and personal preference thing. After i swatched last week, i knew i didn't want CotU because it's rather orangey on me (bet 15 & 20 neutral), and i am still jonesing for Solar Ray and will probably get it, even though it's close to Blonde or Redhead (darn, i forgot which). Since i madly love both and am afraid of using them up, Solar Ray can fill in.
