MAC Tropical Taboo Collection (2013)

[Pretty Honeybee]

Ok! Finally home! Here are my swatches. Sweet Samba, Simmer, Lust, and Rio. I can't wait to wear Lust and Simmer. Rio and Sweet Samba will get some love, but Lust and Simmer showed up and showed out! Lol! Sorry for the lighting. I missed my daylight opportunity. Hope you like them! I think they are all good to have in your collection. Now... I need my Nordies order to ship.

beautiful beutiful beautiful... :eyelove:

Adored looks so pretty on you!!! how do you like the 159 so far?

 

[Pretty Honeybee]

It's lighter than SP! I'd say pick up an extra heroine now if you think you're gonna wear it often. I think with it being relaunched so close to the original launch, it's unlikely that it'll come back out any time soon. The way i see it, the closer the first and second launch, the farther way the third launch. And vice versa. OMG!!! :drools:

Even the slightest removal of the top layer uncovers a different colour pattern underneath, resulting in a different outcome each time. And here is a comparison of the 131 and 159

That looks awesome on you girl!!! :eyelove: Damn right BU's are needed!!

I was waiting on some swatches like these! Thanks so much! I am confused on which colors go with which swatch. Please help ! I believe the first one is Simmer, Rio...then I'm confused about the MSFs...

Sweet Samba, Simmer, Lust and Rio is last

Everyone's swatches look beautiful but they all look sooooo different! It makes me so confused! Lol! Even the lipsticks look different! Definitely going to be up and at my store at 10 so I can decide!

I know she wrote that in her post, but for some reason I thought Simmer was darker than Sweet Samba. Thanks for the clarification.

My black box landed w//3 MSFs unbroken and 159. I got someone else's receipt inside- different names, different items, different total. All my items are correct, which is the only thing that really matters.

I think I have FINALLY decided to skip all of this collection. I am a MSF whore, and have so many, but I just feel like with all these swatches they are just "meh". I think Simmer looks stunning, but I have gotten to the point where I don't need 60 of SLIGHTLY different shades of a blush, ya know? None of the e/s WOW me, so those are a no go. I might change my mind on the MSF's.... what does everyone think who has them? Are they must have? I am NW20 skin for reference.

I thought nordies took down the blushes to fix it, how come simmer is still wrong LOL

Erine I LOVE Adored on you!

 

[erine1881]

I can def see why you need bu's!!

Adored looks freakin awesome on you! Thanks love for the brush comparison!

Adored looks so pretty on you!!! how do you like the 159 so far?

It's like a baby redhead MSF!!! The 159 is amazing! I always do 3-4 layers of highlight with a 188, and this applies the right amount in 1-2. Definitely needing a second one, even if it is perm. I'm a brush whore as well as a blush whore. And highlight whore. And lippie whore...

Erine I LOVE Adored on you!

Skin twin!!! You know what that means...

Adored is so pretty on u! I haven't tried it yet!

 

[jhosea]

I was going to pass on the blushes and was just going to get lust. But after seeing more swatches I'm getting adored and simmer too. Do you guys think counters will be busy when they open?

Same here! Just a whore all around, you know.

I love my 159 too. It's so cute and small enough for the highlight areas.

Strange. That happened with my order too.
