MAC All About Orange Collection (June 2013)

[lilinah]

Did you check out Honey Jasmine too? I think I like it even better than IF for me - it blends really well with my freckles and gives me a lot of warmth without being tan, orange or golden, which is really cool.

My skin has at least three personalities - my forehead is quite pale neutral, my cheeks and chin are pink, and below the hollows in my cheeks i've got some tan-ish patches. So i don't wear blush unless i've put foundation on my whole face to even out my skin tone.

Lately i've been mixing my moisturizing mineral sun screen, which goes on rather white, and Dr Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm SPF 45, which alone has a weirdly grey undertone. But the two products together even my tone without looking or feeling heavy. So while it's not really a full make up job, it's good enough for day wear.

I almost never wear red lips - i only recently discovered one i can tolerate, Deeply Adored, which i've been using with relatively neutral blush - The Perfect Cheek, Pink Cult, or Pink Tea. But on your suggestion i'll give IF a try when it arrives.

I didn't test Honey Jasmine because, as lovely as it is, it is way too warm for me. Even IF is quite a leap into orange territory for me.

Got my small haul just now! I'd put on RS, but I'm already wearing Lovecloud today. Will do a look tomorrow.

I'm so Happy Nordies put the collection up. Now I feel like I don't have to lose sleep stocking, missing things again, & I don't have to drive anywhere Thursday or call any stores :fluffy:

I know right!!! A sigh of relief...ahhhhhh:yahoo:

 

[josephine90]

Do we need a liner with sk? If so, any suggestions?

 

[elegant-one]

I know right!!! A sigh of relief...ahhhhhh:yahoo:

YES!!! I feel like I will be able to

this week lol

 

[elegant-one]

Geesh, its says I'm over my limit of Thanks

how can that be.

 

[CrissyF]

Oh no! :support: Hopefully MAC will restock their site soon.

Leave it to me to miss the restock as well. I'll take it as a sign that I don't need another pinky coral lipstick...

 

[vaisforluvrs]

Do you love it as much as I do?


Thanks, everyone! To think I was going to skip this collection...

It's different from anything else I own, so it will take some getting used to. But I do like it.

 

[KrystalAnne]

It is light, but not as light as PD. Here's some swatches:



Sweet and Sour, Pure Decoration, and Pure Zen. Sorry the lighting isn't better!



Sweet and Sour

LOVING this on you! So pretty! I wore it yesterday and fell in love with it, too. I'm so tempted to pick up a backup from Nordstrom before it sells out.
I think it's a good idea you picked up a b/u.

I'm posting from my iPad and I hate it---it's a bit wonky. Anyway, I'm wide awake now. Who can sleep after that bit of excitement? Now I'll thinking about my dentist appointment for today:shock: So don't you think it's funny the way Nordie's buried the AAO collex items w/ the permanent line the way MAC does initially before a release? We are so on to them aren't we???

I'm always on my ipad! It's so much easier if you use the mobile version instead of the desktop i find.

:haha:  I was just updating my bu list and going through my box. This is what it looks like now-its the old large flat rate box!

My BUs are in those 1 1/2' x 3' underbed storage bins. 3 of em!

My box was delivered to the wrong address   I do have to admit that MAC took care of it   They are sending my entire order over night, even the items that are not in stock     It just frustrates me that the person actually signed for my box and kept it.  Some wife out there looks mighty hot wearing those blushes. haha!

I'd be haulin ass over to her place and tell her your tracking just informed you it was signed for at her place and you want your stuff! The nerve of people! I JUST got my money from someone stealing $3500 from my checking account two weeks ago! mad:

4 TPC!! :bigheart:

I have 4 TPCs total. :nods:

Okay this is totally off topic I got this chenman gloss creme brillance at the cco store yesterday. I thought it was a lip balm but it can be used for many things like lips eyes.im calling all the makeup artists how do u use this product not much online about it

It's meant for use on the eyes and face. It definitely a "wear all your hair up that day" product.

Do we need a liner with sk? If so, any suggestions?

You don't NEED one, but I'd wear LS or ablaze with it.

thank you! i'm going to show the bf this tonight so he stops telling me how crazy i am for all the makeup i have. i'll tell him how can i be crazy when there are so many others like me? RIGHT?

Thank you! Definitely get a back up!

I thought Flamingo was going to be my favorite for sure, but SS takes the cake. Don't get me wrong, I love Flamingo and am happy I got two, but SS.... Creme d' Nude is going to miss me for awhile.

 

[matchachoco]

Have you hauled anything from the other recent releases?  I haven't been really feeling anything other than this collection since AG. lol 

I got a handful of things from TR and BB. I'd call it a mini haul. But AAO was definitely more exciting to me, too!

 

[Paisly]

@Erine: Girl, I wish I could! I just went to the office of my apartment complex and they wouldn't give me the address of the name that the order was signed by. I guess people who steal need more privacy than we deserve to have?

Ready to move for sure! I'm sorry that happened to you

 

[ladymakeup80]

Do you mind sharing how you make your list please? I don't know if I should use excel or word. I want to keep track of all my makeup. [/quote] If you have an iPhone maybe try the Notes app that comes preinstalled on your device, that's what I use so that I have my list w/me at all times. See below. It includes backups, stuff I want and the crossed out items I had at one time but since they didn't work for me I want to make sure I don't repurchase them in the future.

 

[KrystalAnne]

Thank you! Definitely get a back up!

I was going to mention that! I wasn't expecting to like any of these more than Flamingo, but I'm actually thinking i may like SS more too!

S&S is def. a keeper.

WHA!?!?!? Poor creme d' nude

That's some messed up shit! What's the point in taking it to the office if they aren't gonna have the right person sign for it!? They might as well just leave it on your front door so someone can steal straight away, no signing for needed!

OT - but I wanted to give a shout out to a what turned out to be a great new product for me. Smashbox CC cream. I had one dark spot from an old acne scar that bugged the heck out of me. Well, after I used the new CC cream just about 3 times, the darkened spot was lightened/decreased by about 30%!!! After about 2 months of using it (not even regularly) its almost completely gone. Even hubs noticed it without me saying anything. I whined about this spot forever as it drove me crazy to see it. Now my skin looks almost flawless. I've tried everything that promised to erase dark spots but nothing ever even diminished it slightly. I was considering laser, but now I won't have to. Everyones skin is different, but thought this may help someone else.
I'm very light but use the Fair as a perfect match. The lightest shade was too yellow/weird for my skin. it gets very good reviews.

I still want HJ

Just wanted to say that I purchased the Smashbox CC Cream today (thanks a lot elegant one) and I really do like it. I cant attest at this point about fading dark spots but it does give nice coverage without feeling like a mask. The fair was to light for me since I now have a tan and the light was to yellow but the medium light was just right.

Back on topic, I really wished I could find a Flamingo but looks like a no go. I will be on vacation when this releases on Thursday so I think I am S.O.L
