MAC Heavenly creature discussion

I wouldn't do it. The combination is too harsh and it will most likely harm your skin short and/or longterm. If you want stronger exfoliation with the Clarisonic, just use a stronger brush.

I like it! But I have to remember to use it since it's not my normal routine yet. I've only used 3 times. It's too soon for me to tell if it's doing anything. I think I irritated my skin when I used it the first time because it felt like a minute was too short, so I kept using it for another two minutes, lol. I won't do that again.

I didn't use the VAE with it because I was afraid it would be too harsh on my skin and the Clarisonic. Lol, I think I was more concerned about it damaging the Clarisonic. I don't think I'd want to use the device as an exfoliator. More so as a thorough cleanser.

They look similar in the pan, but nothing alike when swatched. I think I have a picture somewhere. Let me try and find it.

There you go. AR is on the top left.

I think Apple Red will be a lot brighter and more red. BOA seems more pink in a way. If you can find your comparison pic that would be really helpful!

I will keep my eyes open. I recently saw some at a CCO (though I'm nowhere near that location anymore).

Thanks! It looks gorgeous!

Ron is a sweetheart. He is really committed to helping and is very patient. Last time Daniel helped me. I never noticed him because I usually get helped by Ron. Funny thing was that D recognized ME instead of the other way around. (Hey, I know you! Aren't you always here first when a new collection comes out?)

I hope he will help me when I go there! At some point the MUA's in Amsterdam recognized me too, but not anymore, because I go to Eindhoven most of the time now.

AR is more a blue-based fire engine red. BOA has a bit more of coral/pink in it.

I hope Mac will repromote it soon. I will get a BU if they do.

Definitely use a 184 to apply it. It is uber pigmented.

I like the 131 better for pigmented blushes and the 184 for bronzers. It's easier for me to place blush with the shape of the 131.

Because I missed out on the 131 I got the Sigma version. The brush is ok, but I have the feeling MAC's will be much better...

Which brush is that? The Sigma F15? I've been calling all my local CCOs for the 131. If I can't find one by next month, I may give the Sigma version a try.

I think so. I have the travel version. It is ok, but I think the one from MAC will probably have softer bristles...

I NEED the 131 as well!!!!! With all the mineralized collections that have been released, I cannot believe it hasn't been repromoted yet OR, better yet, made perm!

I've been wishing that the 131 and the 184 get repromoted for the longest time! I'm not going to pay ebay prices for these.

I came across this Hakuhodo brush and was wondering if it is a 131 dupe maybe?

I've heard that it is and have been curious myself to give it a try... Problem is, I won't really know how much better or similar the MAC version is since I don't have it. And I've been thinking it would be repromoted so keep holding off on the supposed dupes. As soon as I get the dupe(s)... MAC will re-release it! That's the way it always goes... LOL

When I was searching for a possible dupe, I found this review

She listed a couple of possible Hakuhodou dupes, not sure if it's the one you linked.

Yes, that's one of those she listed, thanks for the link.
