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

[elegant-one]

BK is a stunner, I don't think it's crazy bright at all! I ️ it too!

Aww, thats so sweet of you my dear!

I didn't find it to be too bright or neon on me

 

[montREALady]

Welcome to Specktra!!!!! There's a comparison with purple lippies a couple pages back in this thread RRB isn't like LJ. Check it out.

Thanks! Oh no, please don't make me look because then I'll be stalking MAC tomorrow. I'm in NYC, so I'm trying to imagine this and Cinderella launching on the same day. I think I still have frostbite on my toes from waiting in line for the RiRi Hearts MAC Christmas collection in 2013 only to get nothing

Threw on riri boy yesterday and wondered why I don't wear it more. Love it.

its one of my fave ever love it straight from the tube Lj needs a liner and a pray to work on me.me and neon colors don't mix

 

[elegant-one]

Beautiful swatches! And I am SO SO SO glad that you are happy with everything---even BK!

Glad it is a pink/coral for you as well! Thanks so much my lovely!

I'm a happy camper today! It's pretty. Thanks my very dear friend!

You're right, it does change in the lighting

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.

Yikes, totally regret not getting Summer Opal. Looks like I'll be going to the stores tomorrow!

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

 

[Jennifae]

I got my black box a couple of hours ago!

 

[Monsy]

Summer opal definitely is BP.

 

[MACina]

Elegant

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

Aww, "snuggles" is a very adorable and apropos nickname for you.

I am so happy that your mom is healthy and beat her cancer! I wish her and you a long life and good health. You have a lot of internal strength and empathy with your outlook on life! One particular mistake I do make in life is surrounding myself with negative people, not all, but some. And it can be a vicious cycle, with the negativity being fed. Makeup and other 'superficial' pursuits are escapes for us, but so too can more substantial things in life. If it's meant to be, I'll find the LJ. If not, I'll look forward to the new releases and try not to get so caught up in the frenzy the next time around. Thank you again for your sweet messages!

I just ordered a 3rd Romantic Breakdown :haha:

Love ur swatches I get my order tomorrow got the BP FS and RB I'm glad I got RB wasn't getting much love but looks like a great everyday color!

 

[KaylaK]

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!

hmm yea I never end up using stuff wet. i'll keep that in mind. thanks

 

[jenise]

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 

Yeah I like ones with sheen too. Betty Lou mannizer is my go to bronzer. It looks so gorgeous when used with my marc Jacobs bronzer brush - it diffuses the product so well! I use it on top of my smashbox matte bronzer and yeah I only use matte products to contour!

 

[Kaipie20]

I can't wait to get my Summer Opal looks so beaut lol

Forbidden Sunrise is so pretty but I tend to shy away from oranges.
