MAC - Cool Heat Discussion

[kiss]

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

I was soo excited about this collection since I love teals but I saw the collection in person and I don't know I was really not that impressed.

Cool heat really dissapointed me as the texture didn't live up to my expectations and the color payoff was bad in both cool heat and warm chill. Warm chill's color was nothing special either, just a light green which Ive seen in a a bunch of other brands. It doesn't compare to mood ring in my opinion. Gulf stream was a good color but I allready have 3 other colors excatly like it such as waternymph which I prefer better.

Climate blue had good color payoff and so did solar white. I didn't swatch warming trend since I didn't want it. Blue Flame was my favourite color of the collection. I swatched it next to Deep Truth at the store and I liked blue flame waaay better. The color-payoff was better in BF aswell.
I love the texture of solar white, but I am not completely sold on it yet...I didn't use it as a lid color yet, just as a highlight and it looked the same as nylon. I thought there would be more obvious gold sparkles in it. Also, it looks like shore leave in the pan but swatched on hand it does look golden!

thanks for the swatches. everything looks great great on you (which means they should look great on me too

). i was really surprised at how good the lippies look. high 90s was a no brainer for me, but the others look really pretty too. i will definitely check them out more closely at the store tomorrow.

I say definitely check out the lippies, good stuff and great color.

Man, my lips are still soft from them.

Does anyone happen to know the name of the model in the promo ad? She's gorgeous! I'd love to see more pics of her.

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Oh yea, forgot to mention. Do you ladies see how Warm Chill basically disappeared into my skin? I think I swiped it on my hand like three or four times to get it to show something. I hope it shows up on my eyelids, lol. I wonder what base would look good for Warm Chill?

Greenstroke, Rubensque (the gold in it might compliment the gold in Warm Chill) and Rollickin if you have it, although I could see that overpowering the light green of Warm Chill.

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

Got my boxes today (yes boxES because I too had to order Gulf Stream seperately when it finally came back up on the website) and it was like Christmas!!! Every color is gorgeous!!!! I had to run to a meeting but thought I'd put on some of the solar white and it is A-MAY-ZING! It looks white in the pot but when you put it on its the incredible gold color! I cant wait to play with the others woot!

I hope u are right about cool heat and i hope i hate it too because that'll save me some money! Im gonna swatch deep truth and blue flame and see which I like more. U are soo right, I depotted my cool heat shadows today and I still hadn't depotted my Naughty Nauticals shadows, so I depotted 4 altogether and solar white and shore leave look really similar in the pan but definetly swatch different. SL is silver, SW is gold.

That being said...solar white is not the orgasmic color its made out to be. IMO. Its nice, its gold, its a highlighter. keep it moving. I wore it today all over my lid up to my brow, (didnt have time for anything else haha) and its just...plain jane. Oh well...at least now I don't need a backup lol.

Re: Cool Heat Discussion

I am soo poor right now, I can't afford anything since I just lost my job. But my sweet boyfriend knew how i was excited about this collection that He got me 3 eyeshadows. ISn't he sweet?!?!

He got me:
Warm Chill
Gulf Stream
Cool Heat

I so want the others too. I have B2B's, which I probably trade that for solar white and warming trend.
hehehehe can't wait till I get it!!!

they will prob. still be in stock on monday. everyone (who knows about it) is waiting for monday to get that 15% + free shipping. the only problem is that the website may be slow & all the products may not be there by the end of the day

...I kinda think so. The only two I think that have a possibility of being sold out at gulf stream and solar white.

thats just my opinion

i think a couple of em might be sold out. gulf stream might be sold out due to the fact that not alot of locations got it. solar whilte me be gone because its such a kiss ass color. cool heat might also be sold out cause teals/turquoises are always popular.

just my thoughts.
