MAC All About Orange Collection (June 2013)

[cyclops68]

I own Nuance & it comes off a little more of a neutral peachy beige on me than the swatch of Honey Jasmine shows, then again that may just be how it mixes with my skintone.
I need to see more swatches imo to see if HJ and RS really are unique.. tbh I own IF and it isn't a unique colour by any means - however since you are looking for something more subtle the blushes in this collection would cater to that imo. I own most on that list & more (it's a sickness) yet that doesn't stop my from feeding my blush addiction.. I will admit I have slowed down a lot which is why I'm limiting myself to only one blush haha

Thanks for your comment! I agree with you about Immortal Flower, I think that as soon as I get a peach blush that I am satisfied with, I am getting rid of Immortal Flower. It just seems difficult to find a peach/apricot blush that doesn't pull too orange or too coral. I am very eager to check out Honey Jasmine because from the comparison swatch between it and Blazing Haute, it seems like a darker Blazing Haute, which is promising since Blazing Haute just completely disappeared on my skin although I was completely in love with the colour.

Hey erine. I'm a bit confused about the b2m. I went on a depot frenzy a few months back. Damn near 20 empty pots if not more. They wouldn't take them, though? Due to the metal pan missing. I've b2m before and the SA accepted them... Now my main SA's will not. Confusing!

RS and HJ, and I'm gonna B2M for SK if i like it in person. That's it! You? I bought some empty tins from tkbtrading that i pop in there. For the 6+ yrs i worked at my counter we accepted depots. As soon as i leave they change the policy. Lame.

Just noticed this thanks Erine.! I'll try that.

I brought 6 back with out the pans this past weekend and they took them. I've always brought them back like that with out a problem. I think it depends on the location.

I hate myself. Guess who ordered Sushi Kiss and Flamingo? I was supposed to skip this collection! lol and I know Flamingo will probably look streaky on me but had to order it. Why am I doing this? lol

Why do you think Flamingo will look streaky?

I'd try a different store (and maybe don't take ALL of your empties with you).

I'm wearing IF and Caqui in anticipation of the regular site release. XD

Did any pros get next day shipping?? Would love to see more detailed swatches

Cut a Caper was streaky/too light! And on the swatches they look similar!

Mac-Guy what did you order?

Not sure if this has been asked before but can you b2m for a LE lipstick that's in regular packaging like for example if I were to bring in 6 empties for sushi kiss lipstick would that be allowed or no?i hope I'm making sense.

In general, yes, but each store has their own policy, thus some might turn you down. It helps to have a good relationship with your MAC SA.

Oh you meant too light. F is pigmented for a lustre, but it's not as milky as CaC, so you might be good. Hopefully it works out for you.

At least it is not a huge collection = damage control

Right!?! I have been hauling several items from each of the last few collections, Plus I am on a mission to get rid of all these random Urban Decay palettes, so I have been researching and replacing favorites with similar Mac shadows or getting the full sized UD shadows (they are the same size as Mac), so I can create my own nice neat palettes. My OCD is out of control with all these UD palettes being different shapes and sizes and then pans are all randomly sized. Ugh. So, I have been hauling big from new collections as well as getting a bunch of Perm items.

When it's too light, it's streaky on my lips. lol 'not as milky as CaC' sounds good to me!

 

[SydVicious]

Love your lip drawer! What are the ones with the white lids, between the mattenes and other lippies?

I still can't seem to narrow down what I want from this collection. I was going to get the quad but I'll probably take Erine's advice and pass on that, but the only l/s I've ruled out for sure is Neon Orange.

How do we think Tangerine Dream compares to Sounds Like Noise, is it more yellow? SLN was a surprise love for me, colour-wise, but I find it kinda chalky and patchy so I'd love for TD to be a similar colour but less finicky.

The tube looking things are Obsessive compulsive cosmetics lip tars. The larger caps are the old packaging and the smaller caps are the newer.

Sweet & Sour on the lips! ^

Omg I was wondering the same thing I have been asking this question for awhile thanks for answering because I wanted flamingo but I was worried it would be streaky

Yea it's still on my list only getting 3 lippies
