MAC Tropical Taboo Collection (2013)

I ordered simmer...I hope they actually send simmer!

Customer rep told me if you ordered by the name you should be fine. I ordered based on the color swatch not realizing it was mislabeled. So I had to cancel my order and resubmit.

I believe so! MAC describes it as "coral with light beige pearl". I'm thinking it will look nice on light to medium skintones. I purchased it along with Lust and I am NC25 also.

thank you i ordered it too )

I'm hoping they just mixed the names up but have the pictures correct. Cause I sort of did a double take and was like uhh thats the picture of the blush I want, but before they called it Simmer and now they are calling it Sweet Samba. So if I get the wrong one, I think I'll just sell it if I end up not liking it like I think I will and getting "simmer" on another site. IDK. Its all wonky.

Doesn't sound like they did. I thought for sure we would've seen swatches from T, Beautezine or Allura Beauty before the actual release.

BTW, did any of you ladies sleep last night? LOL! I came here this morning and it seems like some have been here all night. LMBO!

I was really expecting at least one of the lipsticks or liners to be sold out by now... I guess everyone has Riri hangover.

 

[macnc50diva]

whats going to sell out first?

I'm guessing lust or adored, next guess would be heroine lip liner

 

[TwistedFaith]

I ordered Heroine lipliner and Narcissus. Everything else will have to wait until this Friday until I can check the collection out in person. I've got my eye on Tropica, Rio and the 159.

That plus the only LE lipstick is so close to FMP.

I am not planning on ordering anything from this collection. Still have a RiRi hangover. Also I have a large number of mineralized products from past releases that I have barely touched, especially eyeshadows.

Totally agree! Seems like riri took all the enthusiasm (and money) from tropical taboo

 

[elegant-one]

I'm not ordering a thing!

I need to see a swatch of lust

 

[Yazmin]

I ordered Rio, Narcissus, and Sweet Samba (by name, not by swatch). I really hope Rio works for me, otherwise I'm going to sell it or return it.

Yes and another thing may be that YSL and Giorgio Armani are having their F&F event right now! I dropped quite a bit on some YSL Rouge Volupte lippies and a cream illuminizer last Friday so I think along with the Riri fiasco a lot of people are drained, mentally and financially.

 

[kpxgenie]

My experience with MSF's has been that the lighter, shimmery/metallic ones (like all the ones in this collection) emphasize pores and don't deposit enough color itself, or mute my blush color. I think I'll pass and try it on in store or wait for multiple reviews. I doubt these will be flying off the shelves, and even if they did, I would not shed a tear.

 

[elegant-one]

I'm watching them trying to get the swatches, pics & names correct on the blushes. It keeps changing

 

[babyurgleamin]

Does midnight mambo have a swatch. I have so many violets tht i wonder if i need another........what the heck, we only live once lol

 

[That1980sGirl]

no to Adored?

 

[KaysWays]

DAMN GUYS!!! I was just here last night, how am I behind 411 posts LOL. I see TT is online now so I'm just gonna get 2 of the heroine liners and call it a day. My pockets thanks this collection. I actually just ordered those Fergie bronzers and the Rimmel show out (off something like that) so I should be happy with those for about a week LMBO!!!

Happy shopping ladies!!!

Just in case, let me know your recommendations for NW45/NC 50 skin.
Also what are your thoughts on the Studio Tech? I am looking for a powder as opposed to my bb cream/ tinted moisturizer that I use.Am considering getting this as well.

 

[Genn]

I ordered Adored and the 159 brush. That's my list and I'm sticking to it!! (maybe)
