MAC Tropical Taboo Collection (2013)

[lkillie]

Just from adding items to the cart and "checking out" (not completed), it shows the discount applied. Does that mean it worked? Sure would be nice haha.

Oh yes that All nighter spray is everything but it's much more expensive than the Skindinavia. Plus when you order directly from their site they send a travel size bottle with your order so I figure it's worth it. They always send me deals too. I got an email for 15% off today actually (valid thru 6/26- SUMMER15 is the code if anyone is interested). I don't really use Fix plus as a setting spray. I use more a a hydrater or refresher and before I blend everything out.

I can't live without my Skindinavia!! Or at least Model in a Bottle.

Going back and forth on simmer not sure if its a must I'm nw15-20

Would Have to Have it look okay on NW15, or is it too warm?  I have really pigmented lips and I think this might be a good nude for me. 

HTHI is a great peach neutral. Far from nude.

I think I'm going to pick up the 159, heroine liner, and MM and be done with the collection! I'm going to wait till in store launch however, because I'm mad at MAC Online.

What is the purpose of swirl hunting if they are gonna pull your stuff and put it back out? I want to be upset but I know it is not worth it! The same store did it with Après Chic and now again. This is why I know where my loyalty really lies

If you've never tried Mineralize before, don't impulse buy these online!

Some people have bad reactions to some Mineralize ingredients (although that was more in the past, from what I can tell). Also, they don't have the same type of color payoff as standard blushes or tinted face powders - they blend in with the skin in a certain sort of way so they're more translucent and also often less long-lasting. Personally, I think they look better on bare skin than over foundation, so that's something else to bear in mind.

Lastly, this collection's MSFs and MBs are more unusual in texture than some of the sure-fire favorites from the past and even diehard Mineralize fans may have to figure out new ways to apply and use them. I LOOOOOOOVE Mineralize and it took me hours of playing around in store with a bunch of different brushes and placement patterns before they started to click. Even then, this batch is very metallic and I know I'm going to use them in the summer and for dressy evenings out more than other Mineralize items that I can use day and night any time of the year and would grab to go to the grocery store, etc.

I'm excited to pick up my haul on thurs. for sure, but I'm also the type that is into dramatic makeup, avant-guard runway looks and already a #1 Mineralize fan(atic). From your photo, I think this collection will look fierce on you!!! But better safe than sorry and go try in person first - apply some in-store, ask if you can put aside what you like, then go grab a coffee and wait an hour or so, to see if you're OK and don't have a skin reaction. If everything is good - go bananas!!!!!

Thank you for taking time out to reply. You're right, I definitely need to go try in person. I'm glad you mentioned that blushes works better on bare skin, I never wear foundation so that's something I should look into. I can't wait to try out these products. Thanks again for the help!

OMG! I just stumbled upon this site today! You are my people! I just placed my order this morning. I got the MES Dare to Bare,l/g Calypso Beat, and two MSFs; Lust and Adored. For those of you from Canada wondering why the MSFs were changed to "coming soon" earlier I think it had something to do with the pricing. This morning when I placed my order the MSFs were marked $30.00 but now they're $35.00. I just hope that I don't get an email from MAC saying they're going to charge me an extra 10 bucks for their mistake!

There is no guarantees when it comes to Mac so one can never ever feel ' safe'. I just hate swatching from one place and buying from another but I am learning not to put all my Mac eggs in one basket even if means possibly ending up with back ups which I can eventually find new homes for or whatever! End of rant

 

[BeautyByLele]

Tomorrow is

EXCITED !!! After reading alot of guys having problems with your lippies being damaged, I hope mines arrive safe and intact

And you really can't sleep on thing either, cuz if you snooze, you really will lose! I think people are gonna be surprised by how little of some things some stores will receive.

Think I like FMP better than MM. The secret site is out of FMP. Anyone know of anywhere else it is?

Can you or anyone pm me the site? I think I know what it is, but I'm not sure...

 

[Debbs]

Exactly, at least I found out early enough but it is still such as hassle! I didn't know so many people in my neck of the woods love Mac so much until Eclair and Mooncake PP, lol

Totally off topic, but Erine whats a good blush brush? Definitely doesn't have to be from MAC since I'm mad at them lol! =P like they care...

Well, all i use are mac brushes, so... I like the 129 for standard powder blushes, and the 168 for cream or MBs.

 

[borinquena]

In case we all miss out on Heroine l/l : I read somewhere that a dupe is NYX Purple Rain.

The only thing that would surprise me is if the stores received enough stock to meet demand.

 

[PrettyKitty]

Crap. I just checked my email and I also paid $30 instead of $36 (well, before my discount). I hope they won't cancel my order, I wouldn't mind if they charge me the difference but don't cancel it!

Lol that's ok! I like MAC brushes too....their brushes and MSFs are my weakness thank you! Ill have to pick up both when I get the 159

The stores I go to usually won't allow customers to swatch the products before launch, at least thats what they've told me several times, and I hate the pressure of waiting outside the store the day of the launch...most of those women go crazy. I usually get there early and if I see there are people waiting before me I let them go first but sadly many dont respect that, then when we finally get in we're all breathing in each others ear, trying to get to the products eww makes me to anxious..Ill rather loose sleep and stalk the blogs for swatches.
