MAC - Naked Honey Discussion

[Mirtika]

I have to say that when I saw this online, I wasn't excited. But BUZZ lipglass looks amazing on me, and I bought THREE backups. It's like a perfect coppery brown for summer. With the Honey Light to highlight and the creme de miel on my brow bone (slightly irritating to my sensitive skin, so only for "going out' after I use an antiinflammatory), then a bit of the Sephora gold powder, I really GLOW in a very nice, not scary way. The body cream is excellent as well, and smells amazing.

But BUZZ is my HG coppery gloss. Looks terrific on me without any lipstick, just the gloss. Even after buying three backups, I'm tempted to get more.

Queen Bee was too light/bright on me, so I can only use it over a darker corally or peachy lipstick. Pollinator didn't even show up on me. And Golden Nectar, which I thought would be the one for my NC44, ended up looking...dirty?

If there is a lipglass guardian angel, she'll get MAC to make Buzz permanent. I get so many compliments when I wear the glowy face with Buzz.

I forgot to buy Creme d'Nude during F&F! But I bet that will be really pretty.

My lips are pretty pigmented already, but kind of a plummy color? (Brave is the closest MLBB shade I've found so far.) I didn't wear any lipstick when I wore Buzz, but man. It's definitely a copper, but the gold in it kind of makes it have like an apricot sheen? I'm thinking of buying a couple backups, and I never do that with LE stuff. It's THAT good.

I picked it up at my counter today. I liked it. Has more color to it than most goldish hiliters, and to me is a true gold as opposed to a greenish gold. I'll probably use it more as a lid color with Mink & Sable, Evening Aura or various browns.

I'm trying to make my list so I'd really appreciate any help or suggestions since the collection hasn't been released here yet.

I'll definitely get Buckwheat e/s and Buzz l/g but I'm still debating the Skin Salve and the Highlight Powders. I have many MSFs and other highlighters so I probably don't need these?

And what about the Skin Salve? Reading the reviews so far, it doesn't seem like anything extraordinary so is it skippable as well?

Hello,

The collection is finally coming out here in the UK next week and I just wanted to check if the general consensus is that golder nectar goes on a bit orange ? I'm a cool toned PPP so seem to always be looking for a bronzer that is non orange

buckwheat is gorgeous, especially if you are a neutrals person. skin the highlight powders, there are better face products out there, especially if you have so many.
i have tried the skin salve, and i wasnt a fan of it (i couldnt stand the smell). i personally wouldnt waste my money.

the only thing i like enough to maybe buy was the naked honey fragrance. but i am skipping this collection totally!

 

[Sashan]

I ended up ordering Buckwheat because I don't have enough browns and it looks gorgeous. I also ordered Queen Bee because I need a coral l/g other than Smile. That's it for me unless I like the Honey Salve but I'm waiting to test that out in person.

Bring on the fall collections!

 

[BlahWah]

My stuff came in yesterday! I only used Buckwheat as a liner but I can totally tell it's the most gorgeous brown EVER!! It's exactly what I thought Magnetic Fields was going to be. I'll still keep MF but I'll have to get a backup of Buckwheat!

Tomorrow, Buzz l/g. Judging from the comments here I"ll be needing a backup of that too... I should go on a no-buy from now till Style Black!

Evening Aura is

I like using it as an everyday lid color!

I know it's late, but I purchased:

Naked Honey skin salve
Africanimal
Naked Honey fragrance
Buckwheat
Honey Light
Golden Nectar

I am really enjoying golden nectar and buckwheat from this collection.

Maybe I'm the only one but I really like the MAC highlight powders. I find them great for contouring. My balloonacy Mellow Rave has been an HG for me, but it is more of a nighttime contouring powder so I am glad to have something more for daytime.

Hey, do you know when we're getting Naked Honey here???

 

[Lauli]

Am I the only one who thinks Pollinator looks a bit like Dear Cupcake from sugarsweet?

 

[wizzer3245]

I think i might just pick up the salve and Queen bee

 

[gigglegirl]

yes, you may be in a minority. Pollinator is quite different from Dear Cupcake. Similar in texture but not colour, pollinator showing up orange-y on me, dear cupcake being quite wa-bam PINK!

Haha, maybe I am. But I think they're both coral, Dear Cupcake swatch pinky-coral on me. Pollinator looks more orange-coral but on some swatches it really looks pink. I don't have it since Naked Honey hasn't been released here yet, so I don't know

 

[gigglegirl]

hmmm do you like or have you tried paradisco? I was a fool and bought paradisco just before I got pollinator, and to me they are dupeable. Save your money and if you really want the colour just get paradisco, but I honestly regret buying them both; I won't use them enough.

 

[Ernie]

I actually prefer pollinator as it is more wearable for me than paradisco/dear cupcake etc..It's also more orangey, no pink.
