MAC Tropical Taboo Collection (2013)

[Pretty Honeybee]

The "swirls" on my Rio and the quick swatches at work without the flash. I like how the brown side looks but will need to be careful with the pink side! ETA: Top is both colors mixed, middle is brown portion and bottom is pink. That is also heroine lipliner quickly swatched.

Your Rio is gorgeous!!! The option to choose individually without mixing!! Awesome

You can never escape the lure of the dark side!

Enable? More like mind control...LOL!!!!

Ooh!

Tropica is SO pretty! I just placed an order for this last night. I can't wait to try it out!

My items came in! I just got my shipping notice for Simmer from Nordstrom so that will probably be here in a few days. I love the texture of Tropica it's so smooth and pigmented and shimmery

I'm always nervous with Mineralize shadows that they're going to be crunchy

Fever Isle, Tropica

[COLOR=800080]LOL! I finally ordered the double palette lol[/COLOR]

Yayyyyy!!!

I went to the mall to test out the skin finishes. I ended up not liking them. But I did pick up the Chanel Taboo nail polish and Dior Gel coat, so my trip was not in vain. Lol.

What did you not like?

Darn all of you enablers! I originally just ordered Dare to Bare mes, Calypso Beat Lipglass, and Lust and Adored MSF. That was it. That was all I wanted. And then a ton of you got all 3 MSFs and so many of you were raving about how great the 159 brush is and after seeing swatches of Fever Isle I decided that if so many people can have all these beautiful things then I can have them too. (I try to justify my purchases in any way I can .So I went down to MAC a couple hours ago and got them! I was so excited to find this site a few days ago but I am now realizing that it's very bad for my wallet. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to skip the next collection. If that's possible.

Mine is like that too, but the brown part is slightly larger. I kinda wish I had swirls in mine, but I also like how I can use both shades alone.

Me too! Should be fun
I think I will head downtown tomorrow and see some of others

I stopped by the Bay to see the collection in person...and I had to tell the ladies there that it launched today. Really. "Are you sure? Because it was scheduled for next week, blah blah blah." I said that I was positive, pulled out my Adored and they went and got the display. I had first pick, but after swatching there was nothing else I wanted. The blush are all to sheeny for me; I like highlighter paired with a more satin/matte blush. Lust was too glittery for me and I found Rio too cool toned. I swatched MM - it's pink on me as well. Glad I passed.

My first instincts were the right ones. Once and done.

The Bay by me had it out. Nothing was sold out except the Adored l/l. Swatched all the blushes and settled on Sweet Samba. I really thought I'd go for Simmer but it was a hot glittery mess on me!

Tropica &FI are so pretty! I am relieved at the texture of tropica as well.

I know what you mean!

I now wait til I can swatch in person and even then I can be mistaken about the wearability of a product.

if there are, ignorance is bliss..for your wallet anyway!

I had sent someone to Macy's to get my items for me. At first, when I called them (Macy's) they were still under the impression that TT launches on Jul 4th. I was asked to hold on for a bit and then she returned to tell me, yes, it does launch today . I will go to Nordstrom tomorrow evening to get some additional items so it should be available everywhere today.

 

[cheluck]

I wasn't excited for this collection at all in the beginning but I must say I just love it! I've been using simmer and lust the last 2 days and I'm just in love! Also have used Caribbean the last 2 days as well and

Thanks for confirming that I should just skip Rio. But I was wondering, what kind of colour payoff does Lust have on you? Is it more a highlighter or can it pass as a blush on you?

Well, TT was supposed to come out in July, and there's P&P BB in July as well. Other than that, there's nothing else in July.

Went to MAC today and picked up a few more items

: 159 brush (amazing!!!), Rio, Sweet Samba and Simmer. This is in addition to Adored, Midnight Mambo and Heroine l/l. I just love this collection! I left Lust behind because I noticed there were some cranberry glitter pieces and I was afraid it would emphasize my pores.
