MAC All About Orange Collection (June 2013)

[Mayanas]

Today i went my CCO and they had Immortal Flower buuu. I bought on this collection I wanted Shear pearl but i need save for Riri

Wow, well you know me - such a brand loyalist, but I'm going to march down to a Nordies and get color matched for this.

Is it ok for use near the eye area, because I've got one other dark spot that's perfectly placed right in the crease of one of my eye bags, that is cruising for a bruising too.

I'm not sure about the eye area, but me personally, I would use it there anyway.

My CCO had it too on Monday!

Yep...same here. I tried everything from drugstore to very high-end expensive stuff & nothing worked - until this. I guess it has something in it that actually breaks down the pigmentation. I read about & then got a sample/color match from Nordies thinking, yeah, I'm sure it will not be any different. I freaked out when it was diminished

Because I was whining about how much I hated it all the time...hubs was like yeah, I noticed right away

that it was barely noticeable.

I really really hope that it helps a lot of people like it did me. I just bought a regular bottle of it from Smashbox & I got a free kabuki brush..woot!

Thanks elegant-one! I ordered one from the Smashbox site--free mini buki till end of 6/2 w/promo code PINK. By the way, the swatches on Smashbox's site look like "Fair" is the lightest shade, and "Light" is the second lightest shade. Is "Light" the weird yellow one, and "Fair" the one that you picked? Thanks!

My local CCO had had it also, but they closed business on the 24th. So sad about that.

I love those mini buki brushes. I order something every time they offer it. I hope you like the CC cream.
I actually love a lot of Smashbox products.

My local MAC phoned to let me know they just got this collection yesterday, so i could come down and test. So i went down around opening time today to test. I already ordered Immortal Flower and Royal Sunset the morning of the on-line release - i ordered 2-day shipping so the package should arrive Mon.

But the one lipstick i was certain i wanted, Flamingo, was already sold out on-line. And i wanted to test Razzledazzler and Sweet & Sour. I don't wear oranges much - only if they're pinky. Otherwise oranges just don't work on my split personality skin colors.

So this AM i tested Rd, S&S, and Fl on my lips, after using a cosmetic cleaner on them first. S&S was just too opaque and insistently orange on me, as i suspected, since it's a cremesheen. I was really most interested in comparing Rd and Fl, since both are lustres, and are a bit sheer and more wearable to me. I put Fl on the left side of my lips and Rd on the right. They are close enough in color that i don't need both. Fl was cooler, pinker, so that's the only one i want to get.

I'll be sitting outside MAC's door with a hot coffee Thursday AM - they often only get 3 (+ a tester) of LE items, so i can't delay.

While prepping my face to go down there i realized i have no orange-y / coral-y blushes that don't have gold flecks or lots of shimmer, so IF will fill a gap in my blush collection.

That is just ridiculous!

I received my goodies yesterday (surprising since I paid for 2-day shipping and it came a day early!). I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. The lipsticks are not quite what I expected. I like them, just don't love them. Here are my thoughts:

Sushi Kiss-this one is a neutral orange on me, almost a light pumpkin; from swatches, I thought there would be more pink but there is none
Sweet & Sour-somehow, this turned nude on me; it's looks similar to what Altered Beige looks like on most people
Tarte & Trendy-my favorite of all of them, such a nice orange shine which leans a bit red
Neon Orange-I know this is perm but I bought it when there was free 2-day shipping; love it, a nice bright orange-red
Tangerine Dream-orangey-gold frost? Slightly yellow leaning but I think this might look nice on top of color colors to add some gold shimmer
I already have Flamingo from IA, but I am not a huge fan. It's a very subtle pink on me. Barely any color.

For reference, I have very rosy pigmented lips. I don't know my MAC color but I do wear MUFE Duo Mat in 207 (beige). I also bought Honey Jasmine and Immortal Flower but haven't tried them on yet.

Hope this helps someone who is still deciding what they want!

my lips are very pigmented too, so its nice to know your thoughts! even though I already preordered SK, SS, and TT. The way it looks on Temptalia always look different on me.

Yes, Fair is the one I got. The light was the weird yellow on my skin. I'm a light NW15

 

[LouGarner]

Ladies will this be coming to nordies online or just in store?

it will be coming out in nordies online and in the store.

I picked up Modern Mandarin today.

 

[Serenityy]

My nearest CCO had Modern Mandarin last time I went (last weekend)... Let me know if you'd be interested in me picking one up for you.

Thank you for your offer! I'll check my nearest CCO first then let you know

 

[BLONDYRAVE]

Anyone have any input on how honey jasmine would look on a NW25 skin tone?

 

[erine1881]

Yes, Fair is the one I got. The light was the weird yellow on my skin. I'm a light NW15

Good to know! I'm gonna go bet a sample at Sephora if they have it. Once i hit 30, this lovely dark spot showed up on my right cheekbone. It drives me nuts when I'm naked faced, but covers with my face powder no problem. Still, I'd like it gone. Plus i get 40% off Smashbox, so yay!

I know. You become obsessed that the spot is there. At least I did. It made me crazy seeing it all the time. I really want it to work as good for everyone else as it did me.
Nice discount! I love Smashbox.

I recently picked up legendary and RFL. IF and RS are both looking pretty though. Do I need them?

IF for sure if you're on the fairer side.

I'm NC20, will that work?
