MAC - Naked Honey Discussion

[only1angel]

I'm not really excited this collection. I'm definitely going to get creme de miel, since it's similar to creme royal and I'm almost done with mine. I was thinking of getting one of the highlight powders but don't want anything looking orange or dirty. This will be the first collection that I won't be making the usual online purchase before it hits stores. I always buy some things from each collection as soon as it hits the website b/c I get too excited for the collections. But with Naked Honey, I definitely have to see these before I buy anything.

I just went and checked it out. The only thing I left with was Buzz l/g. Heads up it appears to be pretty similar to Ornamental l/g (Ornamental is a bit more reddish). Queen Bee is nice too, I may go back for it. She's a Star just looked like clear gloss with tons of glitter on my pigmented lips.

None of the eyeshadows grabbed me, pretty dupe-able.

The highlight powders didn't look too great on my NC45 skin (MUFE 173). I despised the perfumes, but I'm not a floral person.

The salve is worth checking out, I may get it during the F&F sale.

There is a definite glow. Very different than a beauty powder in my opinion.

Oh, I hope it shows up the same on me! It sounds exactly like what i was hoping for!

I can't wait to get Buckwheat. BTW, in the haul thread a girl has all three e/s and Buckwheat stills looks gorgeous but now I am worried about the texture.

i think the texture is good.

I am trying to decide on these highlight powders. Would the honey light one be too yellow on a NW20? I don't want to get something I will never use....

 

[BrokefromMAC]

I am wondering the same^^. I am going tomorrow to check it out in person...

Not sure, I placed an order and it applied the discount, so I sure hope there's no issues when they ship it!

OHh lucky you

enjoy your goodies when they finally reach you

All of the judges really liked me and I didn't get any negative criticism lol. that being said the judges were two former professional ballet dancers (one from France and one from the National Ballet of Canada) a dance photographer from LA and two hip hop choreographers that worked on So You THink you can dance Canada last year so I don't think they knew anything about belly dance to really critique it from a technical standpoint. One of the judges is interested in me coming to teach at her studio so that is an exciting propect. Hopefully it follows through.

THe finals though were outside and it was FREEZING. It was on the waterfront and the wind was frigid. There were people in winter coats. It was so hard to get my muslces warm to dance, nevermind keep them warm. PLus the stage had these metal rivets in it and they ripped one of my toenails off. 5 different dancers left that stage bleeding, not cool

I have a performance this sunday at a Multicultural Festival and one next Saturday for the studio where I teach while I school for their year end showcase. I haven't bee able to practice much at all either. I feel so unprepared...

Hope you are ok, and good luck with the shows

I like what I am reading about Pollinator.

Ouch about the toenail, Miss Vega! It sounds really painful. It's silly that they put metal rivets on the stage, people are going to get hurt. And why the hell would they stage it at an open air venue when it was freezing? Sounds like poor organization to me.

She's really pretty & the gloss is perfect on her. Baby is adorable

My delivery got delayed until Friday

UPS has been doing the delays a lot lately ugh

 

[stv578]

Oooh, the toe nail thing's gotta hurt.

So my package arrived this morning while I was getting ready for work. Seems MAC (in Canada) now uses FedEx, and sent me a rather cute delivery guy!

However, I feel like total sh*t today due to some nasty virus and i was rushing to get everyone ready, so I didn't feel like opening up the box. Poo.

Thanks ladies! I got my green tea latte, it'll help!
Box is at home right now, so no playing till tomorrow!

Shadowy lady, I think you should get your package today too, they must have processed those orders really quickly because I placed my ordered close to midnight on Tuesday.

And do get better soon!
