MAC Heavenly creature discussion

[MacAddictNurse]

Hello Ladies,

So I have also been lurking around this site for a very long time now taking advise from so many of you which I definitely appreciate but never posted anything, I have been a MAC addict for the past 7 years or so although I don't wear it as much as I should. I'm not an expert at putting it on but I just love the colors and how great they look, just like this collection I am in love with all of it but since I am waiting for other collections I decided to only purchase what worked well with my complexion and I liked the most so here is my haul.

 

[Anitacska]

I can totally see that too!

I see a dragon biting a shark tail. Hahaha.

 

[HarleanRose]

went to mac and got another Light Year and Center of the Universe.
now I'm finally done!

 

[Naynadine]

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

I can't decide, they both look so pretty! I would keep both.

This collection is stunning!! This is all I got for now, but I'd love to pick up Light Year, Galaxy Rose and Meteoric as well. I didn't pay much attention to the blushes and the MES, though Earthly and Bright Moon were tempting.

Star Wonder doesn't remind me of any other MSF. It has more purple and peach compared to Petticoat. It seems closest to my BB Rose Shimmerbrick, but it also has gold. I picked one with very little gold. The first one the SA handed me had the outer third all gold, with pinks just in the middle. There seems to be a lot of variability.

Fire Sign is very close to VG Cyndi, but brighter. It doesn't swatch nearly as dark as it appears in the tube. Venus swatches a bit like Lustering on my hand, but lighter. By the colour of it in the tube, I don't have anything comparable. I tried to take swatch pics, but they never turn out well with my camera

Astral is unlike any other CSG or lipglass I've seen. It's a saturated bright watermelon-pinky-red.

The best part it, I B2M'd for the two lipsticks, plus I had a $10 coupon and a $23 gift card, so my haul cost me less than $20 :-D

Welcome to Specktra! Enjoy your goodies!

I just got all 9 MES today. ( I even got to choose my swirls!) My mac girl did my eyes pretty cool for me as well. Anyone care to see pics?

 

[ILoveMakeup84]

Just got back from MAC and got: Earthly, Aurora, Magnetic Attraction, Galaxy Rose, Cut a caper, Fire sign, Supernova and Center of the Universe. Now I am over with this collection lol. I got 15 things from this collection in total, the most I've gotten from a MAC collection ever! I just love everything! :eyelove: I'll post swatches soon

I'd love to see pictures!

 

[Shellcat]

LMAO!!! Totally can see that too! Hahaha!

Speaking of...where IS Miss Spanky?

Did she create such a commotion today that she got thrown in jail?

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".

Loving all the pics! Of course!!!

If you had to choose between star wonder and light year, which one would be best? I'm NC15 and cannot decide, but am also on a budget and can only purchase one! (Which one is more unique?)

Yikes! Loaded question, depending on your skin tone, Star Wonder is more unique, but if you have light skin, then you'd get more use from Light Year. This is what I'm finding with my own products, I'm actually using the Star Wonder more as an eye shadow, but can use it very light handed as a blush. I can use Light Year as a shadow, highlight, face powder, or even a bit of contour. I'm NC 20, if that helps.

 

[xasperadastra]

I can totally see that too!

muahah me toooooo but the shark has an uncommon shape..

 

[Genn]

Dang it, I am trying not to put in a third order, but I missed out on Earthy and now I think I need it AND Cusp of Dawn. mac Guy you are responsible for more of my lemmings than I want to admit (but you are always right on, so I can't ignore it either)

Any pale ladies loving RoS? I just cannot see that looking good on my pastey porcelain skin...

I have ring of saturn and wore it yesterday and today. I wear it lightly but I think its so pretty

 

[Jennifae]

My black box arrived today!

But now I had to order Cusp of Dawn and Pleasureseeker too.

Final haul... 4 LS, 4 CSG, 2 MB, and 2 MSF. Not too bad.

 

[dreamer246]

That's me!!! Hehe. Yes, this collection is pretty amazing for me to be posting again.

I hope everyone is enjoying their goodies! I'm wearing Earthshine today, using an extremely light hand (I just needed to tap the brush a few times on the product to pick up the right amount), and it's pretty.

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!

MAC Heavenly Creature Haul.

I thought I was going to love Ring of Saturn, but the swatch wasn't that pretty on me, so I decided against it.

Here are the items I purchased.


MSF Earthshine, MSF Center of the Universe, MB Supernova & MB Stratus.

I might go back and get two Mineralize Eye Shadows! hehe

 

[Richelle83]

I believe I am finally done with this collection. My total now is 4 MSF's, 4 MB's, 5 ME's, 4 lipsticks and 3 cremesheens. Smh I knew damage would be done, but not like this!!

 

[Shelleybean]

Everything is gorgeous! Congratulations on your nice haul. You must be very excited.

I may have got slightly picture-happy... I wanted to immortalise them in all their swirly prettiness before I swatch them
































Aplogies for the photo overload! I love everything

 

[Shelleybean]

I passed on Earthshine, but after looking at yours, I think I want one. My husband's going to freak when I come home with another bag of makeup.

This is my earthshine and it is not to dark at all. It gives a nice amount of plum but a good balance of gold.
