MAC - Sugar Sweet Discussion

[abbyquack]

So I picked up lemon chiffon, sweet thing and another Perfect Topping today. I went over to my counter just for Perfect Topping b/c I wasn't quite satisfied with the amount (or lack thereof) of lavender veining in mine. When I pre-ordered, I asked my MA to pull me the one with the most lavender, but when I got it, I was sorely disappointed. It had like two teeny stripes and that was it. After seeing Tish's, I was super bitter (hehe) towards my Perfect Topping and so I figured I'd go back and see if I could get a backup with great lavender. Well, they only had 2 left, but one of them happened to have 3x more lavender than mine so that made me a happy camper!

It's really quite silly b/c when swatching the lavender, it just appears pale pink, so it's not gonna give me purple cheeks but oh well!

Oh and lemon chiffon is quite pretty upon a second look! It's like bright blinding white, hehe. I was surprised that all the shadesticks were s/o at my counter 'cept for lemon chiffon, of which they had like 20 left! They had 2 butternuttys left but that was all.

And Sweet Thing is well, very pretty too

Ok I'm done w/ sugarsweet!

OMGGG cthru lipcolor from emanuel ungaro collec. +bubbles l/s =

o n btw i for the ladies that say saint germain dosent work 4 them try diff combos of l/gs n def play around w/ diff lipliners

. Last week when i bought stgermain i liked it alot by itself (im a nc 20/25 w/ lightly pigmented lips n very dark brown hair ) then the MA was experimenting diff combos of lippies on me. 1st he put st germain, then outlined in whirl l/l and blended it a lil, added bubbles to the bottom center of my lips n topped it all off with the new viva glam gloss. Can u say PERFECTION?!?!?!!?

<33333 i know its alot of stuff to apply but it toned down st germain to a very wearable glossy warmer pink color . Im plannin on gettin whirl soon, n when i do i will post the combo up in the swatch thread or on here

sorry for the lonnnnggg post but hopefully this can help sum1 out or give sum ideas

I've been using that palette like crazy lol. I have a dip on creme royal already, I hope they repromote it as an individual pot, though.

oopsie i got confused w/ lucky tom n too dolly lol i fixed the mistake though.

but yea i wasent feelin lucky tom either cuz the colors were pretty chalky when i swatched them n too dolly was 2 much like heatherette (which i already have) so i passed on both. n i swear those MAs at mac can do sum pretty amazing things with basically ne product

Tish,run, don't walk and get Butternutty.I've been wearing it everyday, I'm definitely getting a b/u.

I'm in love with the 2 MSF's from this collection. The texture is supreme and I feel that they actually melt onto the skin like butter on warm muffins >_<

Refined is the most perfect highlight on me. How can it be so pretty!? And Perfect Topping really lives up to it's name. When I put it on over my blush it gives me this gorgeous glow that looks like what I imagine fairy dust would be like. Conceptually, I think that MAC really got it right with this collection.

can anyone tell me if barbie playful is similar to dear cupcake?

So if you are trying to save money I would skip it and save for another MSF down the road. I had hyped these so much in my mind but when I actually used refined and PT it didn't live up to my expectations. Maybe get a grand duo blush instead. I almost feel guilty saying the above because I am such an MSF lover but I think that MAC has made better MSFs. The textrue of them is lovely though.

Thanks Katie! Since I only have one MSF, and everyone is speaking of the wonderful texture of the ones in this collection, I may give PT a whirl.

Probably because it took over 2 weeks for me to get my order and i was calling and harassing them..lol. It usually only takes 2 days.

Honestly I love when MAC makes a mistake. They always make it right! They sure did for you... they dont seem to mess up on my order enough...lol

Playful is way more pink IMO than Dear Cupcake. DC, is more coral/peachy.

Temptalia describes the color on her review.

You're not a louse! LOL That is a really pretty shade, enjoy it.

I just realized that the Moon River MB I ordered from Grand Duos has lavendar veining, so maybe that will be sufficient to quench my lemming for Perfect Topping.

Nice list!!

I tried on Moon River, and it is similar in color to PT, but much more shimmery. I didn't see the need to get both...

I'm on the fence too about St. Germain...I'm NC35 with reddish pigmented lips, and I was like "WHOA!!" when I tried it on! And I love bright lips. I want to try it again, and maybe try applying it with a lip brush to get a lighter coat of it on my lips...because that is some seriously bright pepto pink with not a hint of shimmer!!

How are you planning to wear Bubbles? Alone or over other colors? Are your lips very pigmented?

Gorgeous!!

I have a dumb question...do you spray fix+ on the brush first, then dip it into Perfect Topping, or vice versa? TIA

 

[GlamQueen21]

I caved in and ordered Butternutty s/s and I almost got Bubbles l/s but I thought about what it would look like on my lips and so I'll probably get it later since I, again when on a major MAC shopping spree.
