MAC Tropical Taboo Collection (2013)

[Tonetone711]

Does anyone have an idea of what lady at play might be similar to? I have all the purples from the last couple collections with riri boy on back order and probably do not need mm...

I swatched lady at play today, which is permanent. It's a pretty color. Kinda reminds me of watch me simmer but LAP looks brighter.

Oh! thanks, I had no idea it was permanent, not familiar with that line yet. Good to know that I can wait then.

The website has them listed as LE for some reason, you might want to check with the store just to be safe.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaw I want this to hurry up and launch! I'm not really worried about things selling out but I'm really impatient for some reason. I guess I want to play with these unique msfs.

Nope, not even close. It's much closer to Crystal Pink, but the highlight is pinker while the base color is a touch deeper and dirtier. The highlight is pink (paler pink than Rio) but there's also a whitish frostiness to the base color. It's not as pigmented as Petticoat either, but it's the most pigmented of the 3 in this collection.

I wouldn't know as i don't have CP, just RQ.

Thanks a lot! I will ask them. If I can hold off on spending money unnecessarily for now I will. There's been tooooo many good things lately!

Do I really need Rio and Adored? I think I would prefer Rio but Adored is so pretty...

I'm going through the same thing. I'm NC15.


In my head I'm debating Adored x2 or one of each (Rio and Adored). Plus the brush. I'm so confused.

I'm going w Adored, it just jumps out to me more

Keep going back and forth on the same question. That's why I just want to get both. I've called a dozen MAC counters and they said they are all different in their own way...

Oh really. I haven't tried to preview at my local Nordstrom's in awhile. I need to check my Narcissus to see if I need to replace it. Right now I have no plans to get anything from this collection but we know how that always ends up.

ill prob just replace mine just bc. its a nice gloss, i actually may get all creamsheens. im kinda liking them better

I feel the same too! I'm pretty fair/light skin. They both look really pretty!

I wish we could see comparison swatches with other MSF, that would help a lot. I don't want anything similar to what I already have!

Adored looks prettier swatched but Rio looks gorgeous in the pan. I wish it was more of a bronze tho

 

[valkolak]

I think my final list for this collection is

Adored
Rio

Time to Tango
Tropica

Simmer

Not bad. I did much more damage with the last mineralize colletion.

 

[Divad2013]

I went to MAC and the girl told me this collection would be in there store on the 26th. I am excited.... lol

 

[Tonetone711]

Anyone think that time to tango kinda looks like Mercurial from years back? That shadow had so much glittery fall out for me..

Got to see MM, EE SS and simmer swatched on the lovely Erica from the PRO store here in Dallas. Everything was in the back so she swatched and brought forth her hands. I wish I had asked to see Rio.
EE is a no go...it was like a goldy/brown color swirled together. The brown was pretty though...
MM was kind of disappointing...it is a nice purple mind you but there is pink in there and I was hoping for a straight up vivid, purple so it's a no go for me.
SS is very pretty but super bight. She may have swatched too heavy but it's a beautiful color.
Simmer was more of a pinky highlight on her skin so not my thing....
She didnt do the eyeshadows since she said she wasn't thrilled about them.
But from swatches here, Tropica looks promising and I dont own any MES so i may give it a try.
