MAC Wash And Dry Collection (May 14 / May 21, 2015)

[Erinaceina]

I got Freshen Up, Golden Rinse, Crisp Whites, Tumble Dry, and Domestic Diva, along with two of the Huggables (Bare Hug and Glamourized). As other people have said, I think that the texture of Golden Rinse is really beautiful, and I loved the colour. I didn't get to look at Delicates because it was being used, but I could only get one of the bronzers, so I was happy to stick with Golden Rinse. I haven't had a chance to try stuff on properly yet. Tumble Dry is sheer, but I think it'll be a really pretty summer colour on me. Of the things I didn't get, I was really interested in Hipness. I nearly bought it instead of one of the Huggables, but I couldn't bear to put either of them back. I also liked the two green colours in Green Clean. Their texture was very soft and dense, but the silver was very patchy. Perhaps it would be better for layering over another eyeshadow. I may also try to go back for the lighter of the two nail polishes.

My first impressions and a little huge spamfest

Firstly, I adore the packaging!




And I like the combo with my NOTD

(NOTD is Dance Legend Axe)


Golden Rinse - If you loved Aphrodite’s Shell, you’ll love GR too, I highly recommend it! Temptalia made it sound pretty awful, but I really really like it, the texture of the product is a-ok and the colour is perfect for my NW20 skin.


Top: GR, bottom AS
(AS is one swipe, GR is several swipes)


Tumble Dry - I knew it was gonna be sheer, but it’s even more sheer than I thought it would be lol.





Hipness - Love this colour! Blendability isn’t really a problem imo. Although I don't think it's a super-unique colour, I don’t have anything similar in my collection. Here’s a comparison with The Balm Toile:


Top Hipness, bottom Toile


Crisp Whites - Swatched it looks quite sheer, but I haven’t tried it yet on mah face, so I can't really say anything about it yet...


L-R: Crisp Whites - Hipness - Aphrodite's Shell - Golden Rinse



Freshen Up - This product was a must-have for me, but I must admit I’m pretty disappointed thus far... I don’t find it easy to work with at all, if the colours aren’t mixed "well" it just looks yellow on my skin. Not a look I like to go for!
I guess I just need to learn how to make it work for me, but I was surprised, I thought I was gonna love it. It also kicks up quite a lot of powder, at this rate it's gonna be gone quickly :/



L-R: FU1 - FU2- FU3 - FU Mixed



L-R: FU1 - FU2- FU3 - FU Mixed - Crisp Whites


So pretty in the pan:



RIP overspray, still pretty:


So powdery though:



That's it for now, hope you enjoyed

soooo pretty!

Can anyone explain how the in-store demos work? They are doing them the day the collection launches online (at least that is what I heard at the counter near me (we finally have one in my town! The closest used to be an hour away!) but I am worried product will sell out. Are the demos free? Do you just need to commit to buy a certain amount of product? I thought about scheduling one in case I missed out on something during the online release, but still trying to decide... Could you cancel it?
Thoughts?

My MA called to say they got all the product in so I can stop by anytime to swatch.

Can anyone tell me what brush shape is the best for applying bronzer? I have SO many brushes I must have one that will work.

I prefer the 187. Something not too dense as to not apply too much. The 150 works great as well, but i like that one better for applying face powder for coverage.

I use so many different ones. Depends on a bronzer and it's texture and level of pigmentation
I like fan brush, 150, 187 or chanel angled brush

So I tried some of the products today. Golden Rinse is really nice, it gives a subtle flush of colour. I had no difficulties picking up the product, I used the 125 and wiggled. (I did not swatch Delicates (yet) but it looked really yellow/orange next to GR.)

The 125 felt really nice, too. I'm tempted to get another one if there's still stock in a few weeks.

Also wearing CW. It's perfect with GR on me (NC).

TR is not a slap on and go lippie for me. I have to line (and prime) or my mouth looks like a mess.

So happy that I ordered Steam Heat it's a wonderful red for warm tones. It really is big love! It stays on for hours, survived cocktails and after eating I still had a beautiful stain.

I got Freshen up and Stylized.... but styized is not a good product IMO, it's stiff and not pigmented :/
