Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

Did anyone get a postcard?? I have a mailer but I was wondering what the postcard ended up looking like, my MAC didn't have any, at least out anywhere and I forgot to ask!!

On top of the pigments and love knot I ordered online, I picked up Shore Leave, Illegal Cargo, and Port Red today. I loveee this collection, such pretty colors!

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

Okay, I broke down and ordered Illegal Cargo

LOL. I got a sample of Mutiny so that's it from this collection and I'm actually proud of myself LOL. The three things I bought (Port Red, Lovely Lily and Illegal Cargo) were the things I always said I was getting

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

you all are making me anxious for my trip to MAC tomorrow.

i was wondering..how do the MAs decide what makeup to do on you for the NN makeover? do they use the face charts? or do they ask you what colors you're interested in?

Aw man, those sound like gorgeous combos... I was thinking of breaking my no-buy for just MTF and either Illegal Cargo or Love Knot but wasn't decided yet b/c dangit, Heatherette already sucked me in bad...!!!

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

I only got Mutiny and Lark About. I really don't wear reds, but I'm seriously tempted to get Port Red.

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

i never buy reds, I missed out on Queen's Sin from Antiquitease. I bought Port Red today and it's very very nice and soft, yet bright!

I thought in the pot Shore Leave looked a lot like Naked Lunch, but when I swatched it on my hand, I found it was a lot lighter than I expected. Here are some photos comparing it to Naked Lunch and Shroom:

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

Went to MAC today, wasn't planning on getting ANYTHING from NN as I was there for cleansing oil ONLY (hah.. yeah right!) but came out with that and Ensign l/g! LOL... the MA ringing me up was wearing it with buoy-oh-bouy l/s and I just haadd to ask her

It's SUCH a pretty color and I love that it's a lustreglass! I heart it!

Man, why do they have to make things LE?! *wants to buy back-up now* LOL....

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

I bought Ahoy, There! even though it doesn't really show up on me. I also bought Party Mate, but it's too strong a pink for me so I'll be dulling it down with something neutral on top.

As far as the Lustreglass... I got Ensign, which looks prettier in the tube than on my lips... and my real favourite is Love Knot. Such an interesting blue & white duochrome!

I B2M for Illegal Cargo. I still prefer Neutral Pink though.

Alright, all of the Port Red swatches on C2 skin you could hope for over in the swatch forum

HTH!

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

Does anybody know if Illegal Cargo is similar to Mancathcer from the 2006 Lure collection?

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

I started to pass on Port Red. It reminded me of Queen's Sin (which I have) but something was missing. I decided to try it on anyway and I really like it. Very pretty.

no, they aren't. illegal cargo is closest to shale, with illegal cargo being a few shades lighter than shale. IC also has a sheen, where shale has shimmer.

top: shale, neutral pink
bottom: mancatcher, illegal cargo

Everytime I go my MA asks what colors I am interested in and uses those because he says why is he going to use colors on me that I might not like, he would rather create a combo that I can use again. I love him

BTW my budget for NN was $75 and I spent $150! It looked better in person

Oh and oak l/l + buoy-o-buoy l/s + ensign l/g + sugarrimmed d/g =

well, this isn't for NN exactly but when the MA does a makeover on me, they usually use a colour that suits my skintone. but there is one MA who asks first which color I like and then he suggests how i could use the product [ie eyeshadow] on my eyes, etc.
HTH!

Re: Naughty Nauticals Discussion

Do you guys think that Love Knot is a very cool color? I am NC15 or lighter and have stonger warm/yellow undertones that make cool colors sometimes difficult to pull off. It looks so pretty in the swatches, but I hate to buy something only to have it not work for me (I hate returning things) and just sit in my traincase. TIA!
