MAC Tropical Taboo Collection (2013)

[SavannahLovely]

Quote: That's exactly what I'm going to be looking for on Thursday too! I'm still not sure what king of veining I want for SS, Simmer and Lust!

I got Adored, Sweet Samba, Simmer and Lust. And now I'm considering going hunting for a very pink Rio haha. Personally, I like how all my products were divided (except I haven't seen my Adored because I'm on vacation. It's at home waiting for me, and I'm praying for one with a lot of coral!) My Simmer and Sweet Samba are pretty much equal (a little more of the lighter color in Simmer, and a bit more or the brown in Sweet Samba). I love them! As for Lust, I like the small amount of the darker cranberry color mine has. Just one stripe towards the missing and light veining through out, the rest is the lighter pink. I'm NW20 for reference

That sounds perfect! I'm so pale (NW10) that I'm planning on wearing the MSFs as blushes, and I do'nt want any of them to be too dark!

All I did was swatch it so far lol like everything else I got. Hopefully I'll get to it when I feel a little bit better I have a little cold. Did you wear adored yet?

Oh ok... Well, I hope you feel better real soon Diva. Actually, I didn't purchase it I only swatched it in store. I thought it would've been too light for me. When you get a chance to play with it I would love to see how it came out and what your opinion is.

beautiful look seven of nine...i love how dark diversion shows up on your skintone.
i was originally going to skip this collection, and have ended up getting two msfs so far, and may go back for more stuff - probably an eyeshadow, possibly a blush.
i'm sure you will love your items... i feel like this is a sleeper hit type of collection, but time will tell...
same here!

Thank you!
I also had nothing to take from this collection and it did not work

Your MSF looks so pretty, just like Neopolitan icecream.

On the previous page, someone mentioned "conditioning" their brushes before washing them.  I have Becca brush soap.  It reminds me of a tin of shoe polish, which cleans and conditions the brushes.  That is the only thing I have used to deep clean my brushes, other than Sephora's Daily Brush Cleaner, on a daily basis.  Before I use my brand new 159, am I missing an important initial step?

I wanted to get this soap but they are always out of stock.

Good thing I did not know about that--it seems too good a deal to pass up.  I wouldn't use half those colors though.  Mainline is gorg!  :eyelove:   (but I am LOLing at the name) Rockstar and Perversion are at the top of my list, with Mainline a close second.  I have Cuff and Yeyo which I like to use in the lower water line to get that "I am faking that I got a decent night's sleep" bright-eyed look.

It was an amazing deal...which is why I jumped on it. A lot of people helped cut the personal price by going in with someone to buy it and split up the vault and of course you had the ebay sellers that had the vault listed at ridiculous prices....in some cases higher than what someone could buy them all at full price.

Did anybody order the new mac fragrance it's on nordstom

Yes I thought the same thing when I had both side by side. I think Sweet Samba has a more metallic/luminous finish though. I justified keeping both only because blush is my number 1 beauty product.

My Sweet Samba is much cooler toned on me than Supernova. My Supernova only has a little bronze while my Sweet Samba has plenty of the beige, so I'm sure that matters, but the difference is pretty noticeable, even when I blend them down. They're definitely both hot pinks, though…but there's enough difference that it'd make a big difference depending on what lipstick I'd be using. I definitely don't think I need any more hot pink/ fuchsia blushes after these two and Hot Nights, though!

My mini haul and a full size of Naked (thanks to you all in the riri thread) I had a sample that was running low. The blushes should be here this week. I used adored and the 159 yesterday for a wedding and it was just perfect! Thinking about getting a backup of adored.

If it's Turquatic, I noticed it hit the Nordstrom shelves when I was at a counter yesterday (finally!). It smells amazing! I just wish it lasted longer.

I saw this and liked it on your Instagram. I must say you take the best pics! Enjoy your stuff

Now that everyone has their goodies and had a chance to play with them I was wondering what everyone's favorite item is from this collection. I bought :

1. Simmer
2. Adored
3. Lust
4. 259 brush
5. Rio

I have yet to play with all of my stuff but was wondering if you had to choose a favorite, what would it be? Might be helpful if you could say what you skin tone is. Nw15 winter / NW25ish in the summer.

 

[Serenityy]

Oh you should go and see everything!! I think you'll love this collection based on your style in your avatar!! If you can resist, you are stronger than most of us.

I must say, I'm having a hard time resisting especially with all the pretty pictures here. I may go check it out tomorrow, hopefully i won't buy too much

I was surprised when I went to my MAC store today because NOTHING was sold out except Calypso Beat. The manager said it was because she had been telling everyone who asked about the collection that it was not going to be released until July 4th. She said her manager called her last week and told her to put it out a week early. She also said she cant imagine how many people are going to be coming in this Thurs and are going to be disappointed cause it will have already been out a week and picked through by then.
