MAC Tropical Taboo Collection (2013)

[Debbs]

my laptop sucks right now so I can't quote everyone.

But you are right, and the mcdonalds reference is spot on. it's ridiculous, and yes I'm right in line too, but I'm so overwhelmed right now I want to throw my laptop,brushes, eyeshadow down in defiance and walk away.

I am so engrossed in Specktra, that I think there is a fine line between my Mac vs Specktra fascination. I can count on you guys for a good laugh while everyone gets their beauty on esp after a long 12hrs shift

These new MSFs have the same texture of lightscapade. No gritty texture!

Yesssss! Thank you, erin!

They'll keep going with this plan till something gives, whoever is in charge of marketing and collection planning is determined to believe this is the best path for them.  I honestly do think if they keep this up something's going to go wrong. Launching a collection is a lot of work and MAC is now launching 1-3 a month close to every month. Things are getting shoddy.  Only parts of the collection launching at the same time, similar colors launching over and over, doubling the same collections to launch, scrapping special packaging to 1-2x a year... I'm guessing there'll be a collection where something goes really wrong (customers not getting their orders, a significant amount of products arriving damaged) and maybe MAC will re-evaluate. 

If you look in the ED threadv everyones Dbl Def is arriving with fingerprints all over them!

What? How does that happen? Someone just dipped their fingers in to them all? Unbelievable.

And I agree MAC needs to sloooww down. I feel like if they gave us some more time to recover then we'd be able to make BIGGER purchases every collection.

Sounds great....have to get this brush!!!

The new 159 brush is shaped like the 131 brush, but shorter. The length is in between the 130 and the 188.

No clue but some STFs have them too! It's weird!

MAC is slow releasing here but in a way it's good! We get the collections here a month after they've been released elsewhere ha!

AAHHHHH, I miss one day here and look at all this bounty!

I wish I'd seen this yesterday - I might have trimmed my immense Extra Dimension haul (which I still have sticker shock from atm).

The ones I'll get for sure will be:
Midnight Mambo (I just bought Luxe Naturale and it's gorgeous)
BUs of Hip 'n Happy (one of my favorite l/ps) & Ablaze (whoops got H&H mixed up with Just Wonderful)
Tropica x 1 ZILLION
Cha-Cha-Cha (sounds gorgeous)
BU of Narcissus (phew! now I can use it like a maniac)

The blushes sound like they might be sparkling versions of some of the ED colors, so maybe/maybe not (I love MBs, even some of the sparkly ones)
The skin finishes sound like they will be nice, but I might be able to resist, since I've got so many at this point. Lust and Rio do sound special though….
I already have Japanese Spring (which is great) and the other csgs sound like I may have similar colors already - I can only hope I can skip.

oh MAC, you kill me!

 

[Anitacska]

New MSFs!

I'm taking one of every mineralize product (MSFs, MBs, MESs). The rest I don't care about.

 

[MACina]

OT...for everyone loving Narcissus, you might also like YSL Pourpre Preview.I got it and love it

It has a very nice texture and feels great on my lips.

Time to get a BU of Narcissus.

 

[Lipstickdiva420]

Another June 6 collection? Lipstickdiva, you, me and NaughtyP are going to be so broke. Best believe I will be making birthday requests this year. Not hints, but straight up demands.

Lmao hell yeah with all these collections coming out june 6th. I was going to try to take it easy this is yr, but there is no way I can do it lol.

 

[Michelemu21]

Me too

Time to get a BU of Narcissus.

 

[MACina]

Me 3

Me too

 

[GlamQueen21]

I'm glad they're permanent then. I think I'll have to strike them from my list for now and revisit them later. I'm definitely curious about GD; I don't have any intense gold highlighters.

It's gorgeous!! It's perfect to be used for the summer!

 

[MRV]

Hip n' Happy and Lasting Sensation liners have been perm here in Europe. We got them in June 2011 for the first time (the Glam Collection was supposed to come out in July 2011), and I found about them a few weeks later and posted some swatches: http://www.specktra.net/t/174966/mac-glam-glass-july-2011.

 

[aradhana]

i'm not sure about hip n'happy, but lasting sensation became perm here in canada too, shortly after it's original release.

 

[GlamQueen21]

Lasting Sensation is perm here in the US and I wish Hip 'n' Happy was perm here.

Sweet samba and Rio caught my eyes!
