MAC Tropical Taboo Collection (2013)

[NaomiH]

You look fabulous!

Wearing Adored and Fever Isle here. It's really hard to see Adored at all in my pictures, but it's definitely there in real life. Maybe something to do with the flash.

Just threw a little Simmer on because I wanted to test it out. It's storming outside so excuse the lack of full face makeup.

Lovely! And it does look like you're wearing making makeup. Such good skin!

Awwww...thanks love. I have a little redness that's driving me crazy right now but I'll take that over a breakout any day lol

I was going to skip it, but I wanted to try the Mineralize Rich lippies finally and I'm a purple loving heaux! lol I skipped FMP and regret it, I need to go check in the clearance bin for one.

Initially FMP was the only thing I wanted from that collection. I'm a purple loving Heaux too lol

Sorry if this was asked before but can someone please compare Ring of Saturn to Simmer? Pretty please

It's so wet, dark and dreary---we're under a severe storm warning until 10PM. It has been like this since last Sunday

Same here. We've had some scary storms day after day. The humidity is playing havoc with my hair.

So is the 159 brush perm or not since we've heard it both ways?

Returned Tropica and Carribean and bought Adored!!!

The MUA at my local Pro store looked in "the book" while I was there, and she said perm... but it seems as though others are being told LE... ??

Went to get some back up for a few friends only to find out that I had misplaced my Nordies card while rushing. The associate called in obtain my info ( found the card while she was on the phone) however I asked her to check if I had any Nordies notes, surprise, surprise, there was one! Did I want to apply it to my friend's items, sure, of course. I ended up lusting after Lust and it snuck home with me.
The associates were raving about the 159 being able to multi-task. They made it seem to be such a miracle brush, lol
I saw a look on one of the young ladies that was soooooo beautiful!
She was wearing TTT e/s with a permanent purple pigment in the crease. She told me that she used TTT e/s wet initially then she applied a bit more and patted it down dry afterwards. Her make-up look was absolutely flawless
She had on a nice pink lipstick that really complimented her look.
I will post a complete haul shortly as me and my friends are done, done, done until Indulge.
Divided loyalty equals divided hauls!!!!

Hey everybody! I've been so busy the past few days so I haven't even had time to see how everyone's making out with their Tropical Taboo hauls!!

Hope you are all loving your goodies! I know I am.

Yesterday I went out wearing Exotic Ember applied in a horizontal line high up across each cheek, then blended mostly downwards to form a wedge shape, then upward just a bit to soften the upper line, then extra of the orange part alone across the high ridge of the cheekbones and blended in. So gorgeous!

I kept the rest kind of simple with Tropica over the frosty white paint pot from Baking Beauties and Midnight Trail p/l/l/ and Raspberry Swirl on the lips (was wearing a really girly flowered white chiffon dress).

Right now, I'm getting ready to go out with Simmer + Adored - trying to decide on Ablaze or Tangerine Dream for the lips. Gonna keep the eyes simple with some simple liner and some greys from Rainy Day quad.

I'm gonna wear the hell out of this collection's goodies this whole summer!

According to the rep I just spoke with it is permanent, but we all know how reliable MAC CS info can be lol. Also, for those curious about it..the status on the website for the 2 blushes remains that way because they allegedly don't have it in stock yet (they claim there was never a name mix up which we know isn't true).
