MAC X Bao Bao Wan Collection (March 5, 2015)

[pbpink]

Not sure this has already been discussed - what is a good brush for use with the bao bao iridescent powder? Fan brush? Or something more dense?

depends on your skin tone, fair I'd say a fan brush - medium + up, a dense blush brush.... has anyone rec'd summer opal who has medium or dark skin tones? what are y'all thinking? it shows up on my arm swatch as a beautiful pure peach swatch with slight sheen, not glitter bomb at all but can't quite tell much on my face but I just popped it on my bare face... the bright pink on me is not as bright as I thought, it's a beautiful color, IMO the prettiest + most wearable + flattering of all 4 ( I've only seen the elusive lavender one on YT video in all fairness)

Seriously, people are really trying it with this collection. The ebay prices on the lippies, shit everything is crazy. But people will pay for it as long as there's a demand. smh.

I just saw a MAC mua offering lavender jade to a girl for $30 but the girl already had it. I asked her if she still had it for sale. Girl tried to play me! Said she wanted $60

Please tell me you turned her in.

For those of you that have gotten the palette, how do you like it? Is it worth getting? How is the pigmentation?

i got it Have not used yet but the colors are stunning

I love shimmery bronzers

I love using summer opal as a blush topper as well

I like some with a sheen to them, like... Park Ave princess, it gives me a glow. I don't use it to contour tho, just to bronze. i don't think I have a shimmery one, but I can only imagine I'd use that at night

Summer Opal - a beautiful pale beige baby rose gold with beautiful golden shimmer which is not glittery or over the top. On my skin, its a beautiful soft pale slight rose glow. BK - It looks more pink/red on my arm, but on my pigmented lips is definitely a pinked coral with red undertones. Its actually quite beautiful on. I think it looks better & less bright if you do the dab & smoosh. Romantic Breakdown - is such a very pretty pale dainty beige rose. I love the subtle nude/rose/pale dusty pink shade it gives my lips. The texture is soft creamy & smooth for all products. I'm quite happy with all of it. Really cloudy dark here today so the pics.... ^^^this pic is better color wise.

everything always looks amazing on you! summer opal is a pure peach on me! BK is a stunner, I don't think it's crazy bright at all! I ️ it too!

Hi I'm new. This collection totally slipped by me as I was too busy focusing on the Cinderella one, lolll. Only found out about it today. I ordered Burmese Kiss from Bloomies though. Lavender Jade kind of reminds me of RiRi Boy on screen, which I have. I'm trying not to sweat it

You're a sweetheart and so right on all points! Big hugs to you!  I know it is really insignificant in the greater scheme of things. We sometimes tend to fixate on acquiring lovely makeups, especially when they are hard to get. Sometimes part of a makeup/skincare obsession, sometimes as an escape from the harsh realities of life. I always enjoy your uplifting posts! :heart2:

Hugs you back!!! My bestie dubbed me "snuggles" (from the fabric softener commercials) back in high school Lol. The name has stuck with me since! I'm a softy to the core! Happy that I could help you feel better. I totally understand about making purchases to escape current realities. My mom beat her cancer as of 3 months ago! During her process of becoming healthy again, I was an internal wreck! Shopping help to ease my mind when it got too rough...if you can, I would suggest surrounding yourself with ALL positive people. It helps more than we may realize take care hun :heart2:

Seriously fighting the urge to get the es palette. Summer Opal is just so beautiful to look at it's like I need them in a set or something. I feel like they belong together.

from what I was told it works best wet, do you think you would use wet? I love the colors too but know ½ the time I could not be bugged to wet my brushes so I passed!
