MAC Fashion Sets 2013 Collection (April 2013)

[MacNcheese]

Patiently waiting for my shipping confirmation. I wish I could do overnight because I know they ship those out first.

Hey @erine1881!! Hope your back is feeling a bit better...

 

[katelyn0]

Got my shipping notice!!!

won't be getting my goodies till wednesday though due to the easter long weekend. here's hoping it comes tuesday though

 

[RaizinnthaSun]

def gonna get this I missed out on hibiscus. I didn't buy lipsticks back then only lipglass lol

I love Hibiscus. It's the only orange lipstick that looks nice on me (probably because of the coral in it). I wonder how Ablaze looks compared to oranges like Sail Le Vie and So Chaud.

I ended up ordering heroine lip pencil but forgot its similar to magenta, bah. I'm hoping silly pencil is close to NYX rose maybe? And maybe ill grab NYX orange instead of ablaze lip pencil

 

[katred]

Ever Hip, Reel Sexy, Ablaze, Party Parrot, and Hibiscus

Hmmm... I have Hibiscus, but I like the idea of a matte shade like this. I've just decided to hang tight until the in-store launch and try 'em out in store. Corals can go horribly wrong on me.

Skin tone makes such a difference. Guessing wildly, I would think the frosty ones could look ok, if you don't mind frost, but the matte ones (Endless Passion and Bloom On) would look ashy, and the Mineralize could go either way. Tease with Ease might work, since it isn't matte. But what do i know, i'm a pasty pale face.

I ordered Heroine but I doubt it will look like that beautiful bright springy purple that it does on everybody else. It's supposed to be very close to Violetta and Violetta on me is a very dark vampy purple. Trying to find a way to make it not so dark.

ahh i forgot about that pencil too! Well im sure you could do a banging ombre lippie with the two. Even add some nightmoth or vino for extra dimension ;3 and a light pink in the center? I THINK YES.

maybe a hot pink liner underneath? or even try concealing your lips for true color payoff.

Ablaze is gorgeous!

 

[katelyn0]

thanks for all the swatches/comparisons erine!! EM is similar enough to PiPi and DLG (both of which I have) that I don't feel bad for skipping it at all! woohoo

 

[Audrey C]

That would be awsome.. Thanks... Am also warm toned and dislike glitter and overly shimmery products... I also notice you have deep throat, I swatched orgasm cause of it pretty color, but I felt is was overly shimmery... Would you recommend deep throat instead?Dee

Deep Throat is one of my favourite blush. I have Orgasm in a palette, but I really don't wear it because of the strong metallic sheen. I think you'll like DT much better if you're not a glitter person.

I'll try those, though I don't own any concealer...the best I have is a nude lip pencil, so I'll try that.

Thanks; this is very helpful. I'm glad Ablaze is very different from SLV. If it's too bright, I'll wear it as a stain.

 

[Pinkdollface]

Thanks so much for all your swatches! Ablaze looks soooo pretty! It reminds me of Toxic Tale in this picture, but it might seem so pinktoned because it has all the orange colours next to it. Do you think it's similar to TT? Also do you find Lasting Sensation close enough to Ablaze lipliner? It seems so in your picture, but sometimes it's just hard to capture the difference (or maybe I'm looking too hard for a difference haha).
