MAC Tropical Taboo Collection (2013)

[Odelia]

The german translation is funny too. I especially like that MSFs are translated as ''...metal colourful cakes''.

"Ice cream lip gloss makeup feature is that it can melt like ice cream on the lips like, leaving a distinctive color sense, but at the same time retaining lip moist degrees, stacked rub lipstick can have more 3D stereoscopic , abundance Q bomb lip texture."

That makes the CSG's sound awesome!

But Q bomb lip texture?
lol....oh google translate, you're so amusing!

I'm not really liking the Midnight Mambo swatch, but loving Sweet Samba and Exotic Ember! I'll need to make sure I get a blush with a good swirl pattern. I need to see swatches of Rio also. My list so far:

Exotic Ember
Sweet Samba
Rio
Lust

Getting the perfect veining/swirls is crucial to get the color you want. That's the fun with all mineralize products.
Happy hunting.

Team Q Bomb lip texture here. Since I am liking the swatches of the MB less and less and the MSF look like dupes, I think I will let some lip products creep onto the list. I am thinking of a Narcissus BU and at least one Fever Isle. Midnight Mambo is a skip though, in fact all those mineralize lip sticks look like a greasy mess!

More swatches! Also of the blushes:

I'm surprised that I'm loving simmer and midnight mambo is off my list. Thanks for the swatches!!!

 

[Medgal07]

Narcissus is probably my second favorite CSG of all time... Looks Like Sin has the top spot on my list. Fever Isle may give these two a run for their money though!


YES...thank you, Naynadine!!! This totally confirms I want both of the blushes I had my eye on, and it confirms I definitely want at least 2 Fever Isles. Getting psyched!!

I'm not familiar with a CSG called Sin---I must have missed that one.

I might need to check out Fever Isle---it's pretty---should be mine!!!

 

[MACerette]

I think I am suffering from magpie syndrome. I get so excited with all the glitter and prettiness of the swirls I forget that the product is ultimately to be worn, not admired prettily in the pan so I haul shit I can't use. I do think I want the green one if I can get more of the chartreuse color, the blue brown one for sure, and now I think the purpley pink magenta one is on the list. Oh shit, you know I will end up getting them all. Caw Caw Caw

 

[Medgal07]

they just need to get over themselves and make it perm

That would make sense right? I was surprised to see it listed at Nordstrom as early as last month when I first noticed it.

Looks Like Sin is the one in the middle

 

[Richelle83]

Well my list is down to Rio!

 

[Anna x]

From the pictures i am starting to think that exotic ember would make a nice eyeshadow duo instead of a blush, maybe similar to the orange side of the marche aux puces duo which i missed out on?

More swatches! Also of the blushes: http://voceblog.spp.com.tw/voce/?p=52660

Thanks for sharing that link! I'm going to try really hard to limit myself to one MSF. The blushes and shadows are gorgeous, but I don't think I'll use them. I might get tempted by creamsheens but I go thru them so fast...

 

[Debbs]

To trim my haul a bit I may end up waiting for the majority of the shadows to show up at my CCO. They seem to get the e/s more than the other items. I am tired of being annoyed when I see the e/s at the CCO knowing I have them already at full price. I am just too impatient to wait tho but that is what my overactive mind is telling me today......

 

[singer82]

Welp MM does not look like what I was hoping for. Looks like this is a total skip for me.

THIS IS ME TOOOOO! It seems I "collect" pretty makeup as much as I wear it! And the MES's are always so pretty to gawk at! HeeHee I am forcing myself to skip the MES's this time around! I have so many that don't get the love they deserve...

And NARCISSUS will be mine! MORE BU's of that beauty in my stash! Still undecided about MM. It's LE status makes me want it, but as far as purple lippies go, MAC's done better. As far as the formula on the Mineralize Lippies goes, I have LAP and really like it! So I wouldn't describe them as "greasy" at all... Not that I'm trying to enable! We would NEVER do that here on Specktra!! HeeHee

I have Heroine lipglass and Mall Madness, so wondering if I need Narcissus. Is it that different from Heroine/Mall Madness?

Narcissus is SOOOO special IMO. I have all those same lipglasses you listed. I also have Maybelline Mirrored Plum (x3) and will STILL get Narcissus PLUS multiple BU's!! Something about the shade paired with the CSG formula is just LOVE in a bottle! Some might not think it's so great, but I sure do! Obviously. HeeHee
