MAC Heavenly creature discussion

Way to show restraint, Captain Willpower.

If you can find a Star Wonder without so much gold, then get it and Sky also. Supernova is great but how often do you use a loudmouth pink color like that or her blooming cheek? Stratus indeed could be too dark, but it might work. So I guess Supernova may be the one to leave.

I NEED HELP ^^
I phoned the store in Florence and nothing have sold out yet, yayyyy! But now I have to decide what to get.....I already have Light year, cusp of dawn and fire sign.. I like Sky, Supernova, Stratus and Star Wonder but can't afford everything.. I'm sure I have nothing like sky or stratus (which could be too dark for my skin.. but I'll swatch it).. the problems are Supernova and Star wonder... I have Her blooming cheek which could look like Supernova on my NC20 skin, I also have another hot raspberry pink blush! I'm afraid Star wonder is too shimmery for my not very flawless skin but I guess it's quite unique in my stash.. soooooo

Sky, Supernova, Stratus and Star wonder.. which one should I leave at the store?

Hard to say....both look pretty!

Just from their appearance I like the left one better but I think it depends on how they swatch!
The right one should swatch lighter and more golden I guess...

The one on the right is from the store, left is from MAC....which one looks better?

.....gorgeous PrettyKitty!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the right one. The design of the burgundy swirl looks more nebulous. I'm also loving the pics of all the new and different swirl patterns. I should be hitting the counter later this evening. I have absolutely no business stepping foot at a counter knowing the damage I've already caused. But the gravitational pull of this collection is too much for me.

I love Shimmermoss and Stars N' Rockets Veluxe pearls are the best!

Agreed! Love 'em! Just found out Greensmoke is a Lustre though... How much should I bet it's fall out city? Damnit.

I was the first at my Macy's counter and the SA's are always nice and happy there. I ended up getting Earthshine and Galaxy Rose (I ordered RoS, Cusp of Dawn, and Fire Sign on sunday) . They only had 9 Earthshines and she opened all 3 packets for me to look at and ofcourse the tester was about 85% burgundy/plum, but I was happy w/ what I got as I had to settle for just looking for one with the least amount of gold. And my Ruffian Gold arrived today so it's been a good morning.

I swatched Aurora and Neo Nebula, almost walked away with Nebula but I decided to leave my card with all the money on it at home and I was not going to go back for it. Too damn hot out! But I am for sure ordering Aurora. Neo is a very light purple sparkly goodness color on me but I kept thinking when will I use this? Of course now I'm thinking of all the purple paint pots and other brands bases I have that are purple and I SMH, duh...you have options! So I guess I will order that.

Taught the sales associate about the swirl pattern importance! She looked through every MSF and was like oh I see the difference, swatched some then pointed out how the less gold in some the better! She was buggin out about that, so glad she understood me! The manager always looks at me crazy.

Thanks for the cheek swatches! Definitely helpful =)

Hey ladies and gents! I took a road trip to Ikea yesterday so I didn't get to share my swatches with you! The full post is on my blog and includes cheek swatches, so please go check it out!



L-R: RoS, Supernova, Solar Ray

Today I am wearing RoS on my cheeks and Earthshine as an eyeshadow and I love them both!:eyelove:

Anitascka: I LOVE YOUR LIGHT YEAR IT IS SOO UNIQUE. Richelle: I love the one from the store! My swirls courtesy of the MAC warehouse. I am pretty happy with 'em.

 

[OhSoJaded]

Gorgeous! Your EOTD/FOTDs are always so enabling! I'm going to pick up Earthly tonight

 

[Richelle83]

Thanks! The SA saw one that looked like the left one but kept going to the right one, must have been that gravitational pull!

I like the right one. The design of the burgundy swirl looks more nebulous. I'm also loving the pics of all the new and different swirl patterns. I should be hitting the counter later this evening. I have absolutely no business stepping foot at a counter knowing the damage I've already caused. But the gravitational pull of this collection is too much for me.

Thanks! I know the feeling, but everything is so nice! I won't buy like this again for quite a while, plus I knew serious damage would be done!

I am going to Nordstrom today to pick up my Supernova and Fire sign. I will take a look to the rest while there and see if anything else catches my fancy

Me too, specifically fire sign. I am over all this swirl business, too much swirl randomness to be bothered with. I liked the blushes of the In the Grove collection. 2 colors, one container. Hope we see something like them next year, lol. The lip products are beautiful though!

 

[Richelle83]

Thanks! I'm definitely keeping that one!

Love looking at the swirls! Yours are very pretty!

 

[ILoveMakeup84]

Thats so true! I am going to pick up Earthly if its available also!

 

[sss215]

I can use B2M empties to get lipsticks from this collection, right? The packaging doesn't look different.

You would think, but I tried to B2M at bloomies for the Cheanut lipstick and was told I would only get a perm lipstick, so I got GAT. It may be just perm colors you can B2M for. But them again, it depends on what your store or counter says.

 

[valkolak]

Beautiful EOTD! Earthly is really nice next to your eye color. I kinda want to spring for Earthly but with Moth Brown probably coming out soon I wonder how they compare. I have to do some googling

 

[Audrey C]

MTE! I was thinking, "hmm, thought she was on Team Willpower! Guess I was wrong!"


I want to see a picture of your swirls, Spanky!

I have a mental image of Spanky just freaking booking it through the store, the unlucky soul who opened the door, old ladies, strollers and displays tumbling behind her until she skids to a hockey stop at the MAC counter, bosom heaving, eyes mad with lust and pants..."I WANT E-VER-Y-THING".

That's because you're a new member like me! You need at least 50 posts and you have to member for at least 30 days before you can access the sale section. Access happens automatically from what I understand. http://www.specktra.net/t/164296/everything-you-need-to-know-about-accessing-the-clearance-bin

Lol, I find it funny and interesting how the Heavenly Creature collection has inspired so many new people to join Spektra, or for older members to make posts who haven't done so in a while. That gravitational pull is pretty powerful!
