I thought I had Enchantress, but I think it's one I passed on...I think you're right on the color description, though, Pamela.

Don't know if this helps but Enchantress was originally described as a "charming light peach with pearl"....apparently it's no longer charming, lol, just light peach. QB is described as a "mid-tone apricot with multi-dimensional pearl". I'm going to guess that QB is probably more orangey than Enchantress?

I just compared them. Enchantress is lighter & more on the nude pink peach. QB is more of an orange or true peach

I went to Nordstrom today to see if they would honor the F&F 25% off and they wouldn't. What a bummer! But I did end up getting buckwheat and CDM. I am really happy with both of them. To be honest I really don't like the smell of any of the body products or perfumes. They are way too sweet which was disappointing but that means money saved!!

Hey Guys! I finally got to check out Naked Honey early this morning. Sorry I'm late to the bandwagon! But I've been working crazy hours and haven't had much time to get to my MAC counter!
Creme De Miel e/s- LOVE this! I'm a sucker for golds and light colors and this in veluxe pearl is nice! It'll make a nice nude eye look or a pretty highlighter.
The other e/s (pollinator and buckwheat) were very dupeable for me, so I ended up skipping them.
The liglasses: I already have She's a Star from the A. Mei collection. I don't use it often but its pretty over a nude l/s. On my bare pigmented lips, it shows up more sheer with glitter, I bought Buzz l/g which is so PRETTY!!! I love this color on my lips. I have pigmented lips and this shows up very light bronze color on me. I'm gotten many compliments wearing this one on. I guess I don't get all the hype of Queen Bee. Yes, it's a pretty color, but to me nothing special. But on my pigmented lips, it barely shows up on me. I have tons of other l/g and dazzleglasses that I would wear before this color. I wasn't that impressed with it myself.
I love both the Hi-Light powders. I'm an NC40 and Honey light blends in my skin when I buff it out, leaving a subtle shimmer which is quite nice. I like this for when I do a "lazy" or natural look. Golden Nectar is really pretty and looks great as a bronzer on me. Both powders are very finely milled and has this quiet shimmer to them. The overspray on them goes away after 2-3 swipes. It's not a glitter bomb and not completely matte. They're both beautiful and understated powders and I think these are the stars of the collection!
I didn't care for any of the body products. I like sweet scents but don't really like floral too much. I didn't pick up any "honey" scents to any of the body products. I didn't quite like the salve at all. It left my hands feeling a bit sticky, like there is residue on them and I don't like that feeling. Also didn't care for the smell at all. It smelled a bit "mediciney" if there is such a word to that. Being Asian, it almost smelled like some kind of product I remembered my mom putting on her face to whiten it which I didn't care for. I tried the salve on my lips but also didn't like it. I'll stick with my cheap drugstore carmex lipbalm to condition my lips and my body exfoliator to get rid of dry skin. LOL!
Both fragrances (Naked Honey and Africanimal) gave me huge headaches! I took one sniff of them and instantly knew I didn't like them. If you are into strong florals and you'll like this! I didn't care for it at all.
All in all, I actually only picked up the 2 hi-light powders, creme de miel e/s and buzz l/g. I wanted to love the body products and the perfumes, but they were disappointing. This is good though, b/c more money saved for the new collections coming out in the next coming weeks! Thanks for reading!

Omigosh...I got the biggest headache after smelling Africanimal!
It smelled so bad and so strong, but I already mentioned that in this thread..lol
I'm still debating on whether to pick up Golden Nectar or not. Do you have any other bronzers you can compare it to??

So I have tried Queen Bee with so many different lip products and didn't like any combination
For me it's the prettiest just by itself

I picked up CDM and Buckwheat e/s and also the Salve.
I first had trouble using CDM because it wouldn't show up even if I packed it on with a 239 brush. I then thought about layering over Bare Study pp and it showed up. I also find is good to use as a highlighter. And it pairs well with woodwinked.
Buckwheat is a pretty brown taupe. I like it. It's simple and basic and pairs well with CDM.
I bought the salve, tried it on my lips and on my dry knees. It softened my lips, but I hated the taste! The perfumey scent/ taste made me want to gag. It wasn't really moisturizing on my knees. I find that using coconut oil is better. Also, the main ingredient is petrolatum (i think), so that really convinced me to return since I can just use vasaline in a pinch.

Are the ingredients listed anywhere on the container or box?? Cause I'd really like to see if it's worth spending the $$$ or not. I already know it contains beeswax...and that is commonly found already in the Burt's Bees lip balm you can easily buy anywhere.

I don't have it....
But this is what online says
Formulated from honey, organic beeswax, sunflower oil and other natural ingredients, this rich honey–scented and flavoured salve instantly moisturizes and helps recondition dry skin.
Not sure what all the ingredients are

I don't remember what Golden Nectar is similar to. I am such a MSF whore that I have like 15 of them in my vanity---and I only use maybe 6 of them (pink colored ones). Sad though . . . I can't keep up with my MSF's. I try to rotate them and use each one every couple of days, but it's hard to spread the love to each one! LOL! I feel like I'm neglecting my other MSFs. Does anyone else feel that way? Or maybe it's just me!
I think someone said that Golden Nectar's coloring is similar to Warmed MSF. I haven't swatched it myself to check out similarities. But the finish is different than an MSF. MSFs are more glowy glittery and obvious, while Golden Nectar to me is more like a subdued subtle shimmer. I don't know if that "helps" to explain it. But it was worth it to me to pick it up since I don't have anything like it yet. It's best to check it in person to see if you like it on your skin though. It's hard to make decisions based on other people's reviews b/c everyone's skin is different depending on type (dry, oily, combo) etc.

All 3 eyeshadows, Queen Bee and the Salve are already sold out! That was really quick and it's been a week since this collection was released.

I know the body products aren't getting much love, but I adore them. The body wash and lotion particularly. I am not a fruity/floral fragrance person anyway (I usually avoid perfume altogether) so I was glad the body products weren't overly sweet.
The texture of the lotion is just fab - it soaks right into the skin and is not even the slightest bit greasy. I am not a lotion person and yet I love this stuff. I find the scent of the lotion to be a subtle kind of a warm smell.
To me the body wash smells like a rich, warm honey-amber. It reminds me of snuggling under a soft blanket on a fall night with a hot, sexy man.
There's something a little spicy, yet so warm about the smell. I love it. (bought 3 more during the SUMO sale to squirrel away for fall and winter)
I think if this collection would have been released in the fall instead of spring/summer, it would be getting more attention.
