Yep, everytime a new collection comes out, I share the swatches with him. Usually I already have my wishlist done, and most times, he picks the same things that I already have on my list. It also gives me a little bit of backup if I buy alot. I can always turn around and say "Well honey, you said you liked it so I bought it!"

He is such a sweetheart. Very supportive of my MAC habit, and always makes sure there is money in the budget for it since I enjoy it so much

I

that guy!

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Now I want all the Slimshines EXCEPT Gentile Simmer...what!?...that was the only one I WAS going to get. Those colors look gorgeous on erines arm! Thanks erine!!!


By Degrees is 'Neutral Brown Pink' ??huh...maybe it's just the photos? anyone care to describe the color???

I'm REALLY liking 90 Degrees if it looks like that swatch...hot, hot, hot!

-Audrey (or anyone else

) What do you think of Gentle Simmer or Tropic Glow on an NC45 skintone? I've been wanting a nice warm pink lipstick, and it looks really pretty. Is it frosty?

Oh well, I will just see how much cash I have by the time next Thursday rolls around, and go from there.

My counter is 30 min by car away. Not only the MAC prices are crazy here, also the gas prices!!
I save some money for MAC every week so that I don't need to spend much money at once if a new collection comes out. It is like: Do you need these shoes? No, Susanne, take it into your MAC's piggybank

You all should have a MAC's piggybank!

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Swelter and Tropic Glow look similar. I might just get 1 of them and get High 90s. Gentle Simmer will definitely NOT show up in color on pigmented lips, but the shimmer will be there.

I am not too sure how I feel about By Degrees, it looks like a darker version of Swelter.

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Yeah Tropic Glow looks really pretty. I might check into that! Thanks GlamYOURUs!

When I swatched By Degrees on my hand, it did have a noticeable brown hue. It is more pink than brown, but still, you can see the brown in it. It seemed a bit warmer than the other pinks. In erine's swatch, all of the pinks look kind of similar, but IRL, they are all very different.

It is hard for me to say exactly, because I am on the complete opposite end of the skintone spectrum, but IMO, Gentle Simmer is a cool yellow pink. I don't think of it as warm at all. If you are looking for a warm pink, By Degrees might be more what you are looking for (though it is much darker). That being said, if you have pigmented lips, Gentle Simmer might not be obviously pink on you. It is pretty sheer and glossy. I wouldn't say it is frosty, but more pearly. It has white pearl, which is obvious, though not over the top. I think there is a difference between frost and pearl, and this one has pearl

HTH!

I know what you mean. I save a bit at a time, but with the kids, it seems there is always something they need, so I am dipping back into the MAC fund alot. I do try to sell things I don't use when I don't have money for the new things coming that I want. So far, it is working out well, and I always manage to have the cash for the things I am lemming.

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Someone that owns Tropic Glow already said its a very pretty raspberry pink. And, I've never met a Pink lipstick that I didn't like no matter what name description you put in front of it. It could be "Poopy Pink" & I would buy it

The colors will be different enough I bet. Camera's don't always shoot reds/oranges too true all the time.

They are pretty different IRL, though may be more similar on someone with a darker skintone than me. Swelter is HOT! It is a beautiful sheer glossy red, and I am sure it will FLY off the shelves. Tropic Glow is a midtone blue pink with shimmer. And I think you're right, Gentle Simmer will not show up well on pigmented lips. By Degrees is more obviously a brown pink IRL. Still more pink than brown, but with a brown hue. It is the warmest of all of them IMO.

I know what you mean! Seeing those swatches first thing after I open my eyes has me all wound up!

Do you mean High 90s? Yep, Erine's swatches are pretty accurate. It is definately the most pigmented of all of them. More orange than pink, though the pink is visable, and a very wearable orange (nothing like Electro from NSF). I really like this one. Beautiful and bright and glossy. It screams summer!

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

does anyone know if solar white would be too yellow/warm toned for my nw15 skin?
