MAC - Naughty Nauticals Discussion

[Cocktail_party]

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

And I'm wondering how Hey Sailor compares to Petalpusher from Culturebloom because I have petalpusher and it looks similar to it in the swatches/pictures. I so want all 4 pigiments for sure now, they're so purty. If I add up everything that I want from NN it comes to $151 before taxes. Meep.

Er, well at least I know where part of my income tax return is going to, lol.

eta: and I really want an invite *tear*

I still love them all and will most definitely be purchasing all 4!

Mutiny def looks more blue-green than Azreal Blue IMO - Azreal Blue is a very silvery light blue.

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

I only wanted the pigments (still do!) but now I think I may want Love Knot as well, it looks so pretty.

I'm for sure holding out for Cool Heat's shadows though, they look more promising right now, but I wasn't planning on getting any from NN to begin with so I'm not too disappointed. Less than $100 bucks ain't bad, I can handle that!

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

I am still in love with the lippies, I will get all 4 after being super surprised about Party Mate, but I am VERY disappointed with the pigments

I was hoping that Mutiny would be a gorgeous sea green with gold, but this isnt close - c'mon MAC, when are you going to get it right??? My immediate thoughts were also comparison to Azreal Blue.....
Having said that I will still probably buy it, but I will keep wishing for the above mentioned pigment *one day*.....

I agree with you there! I definitely notice a slight green tinge in Mutiny whereas Azreal blue is that similar sky blue but with a silver shimmer instead.

The promo pictures seem to show two pandamoniums in different light! Meet the Fleet looks like it is described though, when you see the swatch.

I don't think I wil be getting any of the e/s even though I think they are pretty. I have enough colors like them.

I will check out Port but I bet it is too warm for me. That's ok....don't need any more red anyhow even though I can't resist them.

Love Knot looks less lilac in the swatch shot too, more wearable but alas, less interesting to me. I think I saved some money here.. I guess I will get lovely lily and move on to Cool Heat!

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

meet the fleet was pictured in this month's australian women's health mag.

it looks HOT! a lovely dark, slightly sparkly navy. i'll take a pic of the page shortly and put it up.

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

I really want Submarine and Mutiny and Bell-Bottom, but I'm debating on getting a whole jar, or just samples. I will never use up an entire jar, but I think I might be so in love with the color that I want it just to look at it!

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

just checked out the swatches and I actually don't think I'll be picking anything up for this collection. nothing stood out as a must have so that's a pleasant break for my wallet until Cool Heat/Neo Sci-Fi/Etc. comes out.

I really want to see that pic! Meet the Fleet was one of my first picks. I love to layer darker blues over Cream Color Base Root for a beautiful smokey eye.

TIA

The shimmer in those pics looks awesome, but how can it have shimmer if it is matte? I think I am going to hold out for the metallic dark blue shadow coming out with Cool Heat. I have Prussian and never use it so I will probably pass on this one. Thanks for the pictures!

that's what i'm thinking - i'm not sure where the shimmer is coming from if it's meant to be a matte. i'm starting to lust over it now though, especially after i read that a darker colour on the lid can reduce the appearance of under eye bags

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

lucky for me nothing really attracts me from this collection although i'm kinda curious about that navy blue nail polish...

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

remember people, you really can't judge them based on the labeled finishes. lately mac has been labeling them wrong, so you have to go by how they photograph/swatch.

Thanks for the swatches. They're great! Does Illegal Cargo actually look like a frost in real life?

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

After seeing the swatches my wish-list is still the same! Meanwhile I am really good in deciding on what I want just after descriptions

Maybe the eyeshadow pictured is Purple Haze, which they also mention in that little description.

purple haze is a perm colour which is described as "intense purple", and it's a matte as well. I'm pretty sure that the one pictured is meet the fleet as it's such a deep midnight blue.
