MAC All About Orange Collection (June 2013)

[Bliur]

I NEED Razzledazzler and Flamingo. And Honey Jasmine. I think that would be all for this collection!

How does Razzledazzler compare to Crosswires? I love that one.

I was only planning on getting SK and IF blush

. That way I could save for RiRi + TT collections.
But noooo....The more I look at the other blushes, the more I want them all! They seem like nice wearable everyday shades which I would use often.

Now I think I'm getting all blushes, SK + Rainy Season. I don't want to regret later lol!
Can't wait until the collection is up!

 

[VioletPearl]

Oh, Immortal Flower is beautiful!!!

 

[VioletPearl]

Wearing razzledazzle I remember why I don't wear it's doesn't go on good at all. Very streaky anybody have flamingo does it go on smooth

I have the same issue with Pure Zen. I adore the colour but it is kind of streaky and settles into lip lines. But I still adore it and my tube is almost gone.
I just need to be careful with application and exfoliate my lips often.
Maybe Prep&Prime lip would solve this problem...

I going to have to order prep and prime with my aao order thanks for the tip

I'm set on what lippies I want. I'm just trying to figure out which of the 3 blushes would be perfect for NC40. Should I just skip the blushes?

We have the same skintone & problem haha I'm trying to figure out the blushes too. I own IF from a previous release & I'd say you can def skip that one, it doesn't do much on our skin - I'm kind of leaning towards RS in the non-direct sunlight it looked really pigmented, but in direct sunlight not as much, ahh can't the bloggers just receive their samples already!

I'm afraid the quad might be a US exclusive or something, because it is missing from the dutch info. A dutch blog beautyscene.nl just posted this collection is launching this saturday and she doesn't mention anything about a quad.

I agree. I am NC30 and I find that Immortal Flower hardly shows up on me. I read a few pages back and someone suggested scraping the top layer off, and I did, so it is slightly more pigmented than it used to be, but the colour's not anything remarkable... it is a bit too subtle on medium or tanned skin. I'm still on the search for a orangey-peach blush and I think that Honey Jasmine might be it. Though, I wonder if anyone recalls the mineralized blush Nuance? The swatch on the previous page of Honey Jasmine, Blazing Haute and Immortal Flower rather reminds me of Nuance.

If you want an orange- peach blush you might want to try illamasqua lover! It is a gorgeous blush! I just bought it and I am skipping these Mac blushes. The illamasqua blush is what I wanted the Mac ones to be.

I can't believe the launch is so close! Since I splurged on TR i'm just aiming for Sushi Kiss l/s! The name, the color and especially the Satin finish :eyelove:

:O
You should definitely stop buying peachy blushes! I only have 2 out of your whole list.

I say buy what u love

 

[cr8zy4MAC]

Well, I love everything. I want everything. That's my problem. There are probably about 15-20 other blushes that I own. I don't mind buying another blush if it gives me the desired result. Let me clarify this a little bit better, that might help, right? My age is 50, I am an NC37 with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. I do a lot of smokey eye looks, and a MLBB lip. I am seeking a blush that gives a nice glow. I am currently using the Strobe Cream and the Golden Elixir with my foundation to try to keep it as dewy as possible. I like for a blush to give me a nice glow with enough color (sometimes I use more than one blush to accomplish this), to help avoid looking flat and washed out. I hope this helps a little.

I hope everyone out there is having a nice Memorial Day.

I need to see more swatches imo to see if HJ and RS really are unique.. tbh I own IF and it isn't a unique colour by any means - however since you are looking for something more subtle the blushes in this collection would cater to that imo. I own most on that list & more (it's a sickness) yet that doesn't stop my from feeding my blush addiction.. I will admit I have slowed down a lot which is why I'm limiting myself to only one blush haha

Thank you so much for the swatches bmunny84 and for the quick view reference Rinstar!

I'm definitely getting Royal Sunset, Sushi Kiss, and Flamingo thanks to this swatch. I'm still undecided about S&S, Tangerine Dream, Razzledazzler, and T&T. Does anyone know if Tart & Trendy is similar to Guerlain Pamplelune or Nahema lipsticks?

 

[cr8zy4MAC]

Thanks so much for all of your input, ladies! I know I'll be getting a few of the lipsticks. Also I am going to buy the quad. That will work great with my hazel eyes. Who else out there is getting the quad?

Thanks so much for all of your input, ladies!  I know I'll be getting a few of the lipsticks.  Also I am going to buy the quad.  That will work great with my hazel eyes.  Who else out there is getting the quad?   

I recommend skipping the quad and buying 2 or 3 individual greys. These greys (minus typographic) aren't that great. Just my opinion.

 

[MissTT]

Yeah based on bmunny's swatches I think I can leave the grey quad alone. I don't currently have any greys so I'll have to come up w/ a few to suit me.

 

[cr8zy4MAC]

Thanks, Erine! I do already own Typographic. What other shades would you recommend? The greyish eye shadows I already own are: Nighttrain, Warm Thunder, Weathered, Silver Ring, Scene, Knight Divine, Electra, Idol Eyes, Print and Crystal. Is this overkill? Is there a grey shadow that I don't already own, but should own? Thanks for your input. What about the blushes I have mentioned a few posts ago. Do you think I should get one of the blushes to round out my peach blush collection, or just give it a rest? Thanks again!
