MAC Mirage Noir Collection (Summer 2018)

[highheels]

Oh I didn't know that. Very strange. As I said, I don't mind her being more on the commercial side these days, but girl, skip brands that you don't like. Her bad MAC reviews are getting old.

I got a lot of the Panda collection, which I really like. The best is the gleam powder, which is just awesome on skin over 35 years. On the plus side: Bad T reviews just means less of a struggle to get new collections.

Good to know about the Gleam powder... I am definitely in the "over 35" club so I will check it out! And I agree T's bad reviews are getting old. I stopped paying attention to her years ago. Her swatches are always bad too.

i got all four shadows and the two darker lipsticks. i already had baiana bronze and delphic from previous releases, and i didn't have much luck with pearl mattes in the past on my skin tone, so i gave it a miss also.i liked the look of the glosses, but i really never wear glosses so decided to err on the side of reason...at least for now. i'm really happy with my purchases. i wore the shadows today with baiana bronze and oh my passion from last year, and beach nut lipstick. i love these shades and i think the shadows will all look quite awesome on deeper skin tones...especially sun tan and repeat...i'm very curious about the face and body...has anyone tried the darker one? i'm a little worried the light will be too light for me and the dark too dark!

Sun, Tan and Repeat is amazing with Fix+! It looks like it could glow in the dark lol. I also tried layering it over Carbon and it totally transforms it. I’m going to try it over Black Tied! For everyday I’ve even been able to use STR as a transition shade

Is there a difference between the ED Golden Rince and previous releases? Like do I need that one, too?

I don't know... but according to T, the new release is worse than previous... She mentions that this baiana bronze is worse than the one previously released which is $$$$$ on ebay, so of course I didn't pay any attention to her and got it anyway. I also got Golden Rinse, which I haven't used yet and the wavy powder.

Ijust gave in and bought STR after seeing the love for it here. I have the pearlmatte which comes out as a nice blush shade and Nothing to wear which I was afraid would be concealer lips but it's not, it's a good light nude.

she trashed that formula in the previous releases too. simply because she doesn't know how to find the proper brush for application

Sun, Tan and repeat is such a beautiful eyeshadow.

I agree! I almost bought a backup

So I'm wearing Banana Bronze today... It is pigmented, went on good, blended nicely. It was a little bit too brown for my skin tone (NC15), but other than that it is really good... I don't get the T hate.

I went to a counter yesterday to swatch the bronzers and eyeshadows that I didn’t get. I could barely get any pigment from Biana Bronze after three swatches I had small chunky pieces on my finger that barely gave any visible colour. I wonder if it’s a batch issue.

I went to my local MAC store and picked up Midnight Dip and Soft Shell, the purple and brown lipglasses. But they were out of the lipsticks, so i ordered Beach Nut and Noon Noir from the website. I missed out on the eye shadows that interested me. So i'm searching departments store sites. Seems like Sun, Tan, Repeat is gone pretty much everywhere. Sad because i really like duo-chrome cosmetics.

This was the most popular e/s from this collection. Hope you can still find it.

I ordered Sun Tan Repeat immediately upon getting the early access email, and even at that point it said 'only a few left'!

Sun Tan and Repeat also looks good on lipstick

MAC has not been good about texting or e-mailing me. Very sporadic. So i've been missing out on a lot of collections. Seems i only get notified when it's a collection of perm products that they're repromoting. I did get the Aaliyah notice, tho, and got the only one thing i wanted.

Well, i may have found Sun, Tan, and Repeat. It's a company i haven't heard of before. I looked it up via the internet and it looks legit. I'll see when my order arrives...

ETA: I don't want to be sending people to a rip-off artist. But if it's truly legit, I'll be happy to share the name once my stuff arrives and i know it's real.

Has anyone gotten the Mother o' Pearl Pearlmatte Face Powder? The Pearlmattes always have such pretty colors and designs in the pan, but that doesn't mean they wear well. Curious to hear from someone other than Temptalia.

 

[Monsy]

I got it. It is gorgeous and didn't have any problems with it

 

[lilinah]

My two eyeshadows arrived today. They were sent from the Isle of Jersey! They look legit. I don't know if they still have Sun Tan Repeat, tho. Worth checking if you missed it.
