MAC Baking Beauties Collection (April 2013)

[MissBeautyBunni]

Thanks so much for these swatches! RS looks lovely! My lips are pigmented so I hope LW doesn't look too dark on me

Hey girls!! Went to MAC today and got my hands on all the lipsticks and swatched them for you!!!! Not the best, but it is not filtered! All lipsticks was only swiped over my skin once, so all colors can be added more for intensity. The first swatch is the infamous RS, the second LW, the third is the light nude lipstick (cant remember name) and of course the brown is devils food

Are you a pro member?  If your answer is yes, then you should be able to view it.  They do kind of hide it in a way.  It kind of reminds me of "Where's Waldo?"  Okay.  When you are on MAC's home screen where you see all your choices on the far left-hand side, go down to your fourth choice "Makeup".  Hover on that word or click, until you see the options within "Makeup" listed.  From there pick the category "Lips".  Now just choose the window to the right named "Lipstick".  Once you are there, you now need to pick the second option below, which says "Lipstick".  Once you have clicked on that, you will be able to find it right away.  You can find it by "Shop All Shades", "Pro Shades", "Limited Edition" or "Shop By Finish".  I hope that helps. 

Or just click site map and click on BB. So much easier!

RS looks amazing! I hope it goes with my skin tone.

I haven't posted on Specktra in years (schoolwork and life got in the way!), but I've resumed lurking around once Archie's Girls launched and now I'm here, excited for Baking Beauties and Temperature Rising. I was able to order both PearlMattes and Raspberry Swirl today (pro card), though I'm wondering if the new Lavender Whip would be suited for my darker lip pigmentation (I can usually wear both NW and NC20, but I have very pigmented lips for some reason!). I'll see when I get my black box! I may have to hit up the MAC freestanding store here in Atlanta, too.

Whew! Made it through my whole day at work, plus dinner, and still was able to get online to order my goodies from this collection! I passed on the p/p and PM for now, even though they were on my "to get" list from day one that the color story came out. I guess I came to the conclusion that I want to see them in store first to see if they're things I would really get use out of. And if I can't get my hands on them before they sell out, I've decided I won't cry without them. Curious about them? You bet. But I'm not drooling over anything in this collection. I did, however, order a RS l/s and Sweet Tooth lip balm. A few perm items may have taken a flying leap into my cart as I was trying to walk away as well...

And @OctoberViolet, have a wonderful time in Hawaii!!!! Don't let any lipsticks melt!

Yay kissy89! Thanks for the swatches. LW and that's it for me. I love the old one but I like how the new version looks as well.

. No it's nothing like St. Germaine, St. Germaine is def. more of a light pink

 

[SavannahLovely]

I'm glad we got a Raspberry Swirl swatch,but I'm still dying for a swatch of Mooncake lol!

 

[MACina]

kissy89, thank you so much for the swatches!

I cannot wait to get Raspberry Swirl

The MAC spring sweet themed collections are always my favorite. I thought raspberry swirl would be more raspberry colored. Sucks that lavender whip isn't exactly the same as the old version but I want it anyway.

I wish there was a way for me to place my order Damn it! I have tried EVERYTHING. These lipsticks are so beautiful. I NEED them!-lol. Anyone have pics of the PM's? Is this collection going to be released online today?

good to kno lol I can't wear SG straight up. I have been wanting up try it with a liner tho yo seed if I can make it work. but there's too many limited edition lippies coming out that take priority lol

 

[katelyn0]

who else is getting both pearlmattes? or just one? or none? Tell me WHY!! lol

 

[MACerette]

If RS is true to colour there, it might be too cool toned for me... Still might cave in though. Hoping for more swatches....

I'm NC15 too, and usually look awful in these types of pinks, but RS looked great on me - one of the very very few that ever has. If you wish you could wear Barbie pink and was always disappointed, you will like RS (IF you also like a bright lipstick, because it's definitely bright!)

Thursday it launches for everyone.

I have the old LW and even that looks quite pink on me. LW is different from the other light lavenders, somehow translucent, possibly the most wearable of them all. (I'm NC)

I would like to see RS swatches, too!

I'm getting neither and I usually like PMs. One is too cool and frosty for my colouring and the other doesn't have enough colour to wear as a blush. I have an overabundance of highlighters I really like and both Flatter Me and Flower Fantasy. These PMs wouldn't give me anything I don't already have in a better version. Besides, I don't like the old lady prints.
