MAC - Naturally Discussion

[internetchick]

All the swatches are making me want these blushes more! Early Morning looks like it might be like Milani's Terra Sole baked blush (possibly the same color but a bit darker), which I have. I will be curious as to how they compare when I get the blush.

Okay, I decided to say screw the blushes. I already have too many and I can always find something like the ones I wanted from this collection.
New list:
both MSFs
possibly the 286
possibly one of the MESs

Looks like I'll be skipping this collection too...Early Morning wasn't as peachy/coral as I thought, and I have a similarly-toned rust/brick blush already.

I didn't realize the MBs are so small until I read Allura's post. Are the pots the same size as the regular blushes and they just weigh less, or are the pots themselves smaller?

Yes, MB's are on the smaller side, but they still last a long time.

Allura actually has a video up now - only the new products in the collection are shown.

Here's the link!

Allura's site is down I wish she could post all swatches in the swatch thread or at least label the ones that she does post.

Oh dear! I want everything except the lip products and one blush! The MES just look so pretty

Ummmm.... I haven't ordered from the MAC website since Glitter & Ice came out, but I just noticed... THEY TAKE PAYPAL NOW???? Yikes!!!! Taking money directly from my bank account is going to encourage a lot of bad bad impulse purchases!

Fresh Honey looks interesting but in every single swatch I've seen it looks very orangey - I thought it was described as apricot? I think it would work well in the spring and summer but I want/need blushes that I can use year round and with alot of different colors. I'm curious to see what this looks like on lighter (NW15-20) skin tones.

i never feel like the mineral blushes are that small... i don't know the weights however just remember because they are domed they might appear smaller.... normal blushes aren't domed and just flat so take up more space if you know what i mean.

I am hoping Early Morning is like a MB version of Hipness or Marine Life but it looks more like Merrily MB in the allura swatches...hmmm

I just watched the Allura video and she swatches the blushes with a brush and they all look quite sheer and builable. I really like this method of swatching as it gives a much more realistic idea of how the products will look on the skin when applied with a brush.

Watching Allura's video started me wanting Daylight, In the Sun and Summer Haze again! I'm really going to have to think hard on this one.

I went back and got FH. Just too pretty to resist. SB looked nothing special on my cheeks (NC20) but something like mata hari from NARS on me. Only time will tell if i am going to get it!

 

[elegant-one]

After watching the video I still think ALL 3 blushes are gorgeous!!!

All 3 blushes
the 2 pink lipsticks
In The Sun
Twilight Falls

Not too shabby

Just back from the Pro store. I really wanted to go yesterday but I was under the weather. I was so scared that everything would be sold out. It was really hard checking out all these collections at once. I haven't been in a Mac store since before the holidays. I bought:

• all 3 blushes
• all of the MES - I thought anyway. I just realized I didn't get Cloudy Afternoon. Either the MA forgot or I didn't write it down on the list. I may have to order this one.
  
• Pillow Talk lipstick
• Hot Spell lipgloss

I already have the MSF. The other lipsticks looked too light and other lipglasses looked like colors I already had in some form or another. I have quite a few light pink and peach lip glasses I don't use. I just realized I didn't swatch anything except Pillow Talk. I'm an MES lover so I knew I would get all of them. In fact, I threw Frozen Blue in as well. I was tempted to get Fresh Ice to finish my Glitter & Ice MES collection. Maybe next time. The blushes all looked like colors I didn't have (I don't think anyway). Plus, I've really good at following my blush ban (sort of). I haven't bought a Mac blush in a while anyway. I only swatched Pillow Talk on my hand. I was going to ask the MA to clean it but they were really short staffed. I would have been waiting forever. Plus, I kept thinking about germs so I figured I'd just get it. It reminded me of Creme Cerise which is the best nude for me. Hopefully it will work.

Oh, after leaving the store to go to the regular Mac store to get Narcissus, I remembered about the #286 brush. So back I went! I can't believe I forgot about it. Well, it wasn't on the display so I had to ask for it but I got it!

BTW I tried to buy another # 211 but they didn't have it. I see it on the Mac site but it doesn't say limited edition. Does anyone know if this brush is limited edition?

 

[missah]

Can you try them out in store?

Nope. I wish I could but we're not getting the collection in Australia for awhile

 

[RayannaBanana]

I want Early Morning for a summer blush!
Where are more swatches!?

 

[UrbanSweetheart]

WHOA I've missed to much! time to catch up...*goes back about 7 pages*

 

[GreigeClarity]

Check out Allura or watch her video. There's a link to the video further up on this page.

Where are more swatches!?

I just wish that these products would start appearing unofficially on the website. I have to go back to work next Tuesday (after holiday break) and won't have time to order until Tuesday pm.
