MAC - To The Beach Discussion

[Flaminbird]

I did my eyes today with Warm Chill, Steamy then a mineral e/s on I have that's a smokey teal on the lid. I put on Flurry of Fun and wow it looks really great with the teal due to the teal sparklies ..brings out the e/s and e/s brings out the FOF

. I didnt use any other lippie but FOF

I LOVE Flurry of fun and I got a backup too! Its amazing! I haven't seen anything like it before, everyone should at least have one IMO..

i don't think we have live chat in the uk! we have this thing called email and artist though where an artist will email you back answering your questions... you used to get free shipping codes from doing this but not anymore

being in the uk sucks sometimes!

I will go to a Mac counter this weekend for that. Off topic:I said this in the WOC thread, but why didn't anyone tell me how awesome Fleur Power blush is? I LOVE it so damn much. I saw it in a youtube video as someone's favorites during the month of May and I ran right out and got it. Also, I ordered Vegas Volt (finally!) and I don't know why I hesitated b/c it's gorgeous. I also finally got Impassioned and love it. After wearing bright lips for so long, I toned it down, for a change, but now the bright lip loving gal in me wants to go back to that!

I want Vegas Volt soo much! I am getting it when I go to the States for sure!

Oh, it works the other way around for me. I love the coral side better and in fact i haven't swiped the pink side! The overspray is still intact on pink side

The coral color is just perfect for my NC42 skin, it gives me most natural blushed look.

Now i am looking for blush that has same shade with ML's coral. That coral shade is quite unique for me!

 

[mtrimier]

lurve lurve lurve Vegas Volt!

 

[tesstsang]

Vegas volt has been on my list for the longest time... I was about to get it the last time I bought perm. lipsticks but got Morange and Impassioned instead

Still haven't worn Morange out! I'm putting off perm. items in hopes of a MAC sale hahaha

 

[LMD84]

yeah vegas volt is on my to buy list! potentially i could b2m for it because i have enough for 2 lippies now!

Ok so, today was the "be brave and try Get Away Bronze" day.

I have no other gold/bronzey blushes, so this was totally new for me. I just barely dipped my brush in and started small, and it was a good thing I did. There is a quite noticeable sheen/glow to it (even when buffed out a bit), but not chunky gross glitter. It's not as dark on the cheeks as it looks in the pot, but it could very easily get out of hand for me without a very light application. It's far too glowy/sheeny for me to use as a bronzer, but I think this would look amazing for an easy beachy day look as an all over wash on the lids and on the cheeks with a pop of coral right on the apples and lips.

Overall thoughts: I really like it and I'm so glad I tried something new! That said, I'm not sure how often I'll wear it. Summer for sure, but that's probably it for me...this will not look right on my pasty skin in the Winter.

I did this quickly today with crappy window lighting, not the best I know. I'm wearing GAB with shell pearl BP.

 

[nunu]

RayannaBanana you look great!!

 

[Flaminbird]

The window lighting actually is very nice ^. The GAB looks great on you!

 

[purplerinne]

I was able to grab a ML but for some reason I don't want it....LOL it's pretty and everything...hmm will have to contemplate this for a couple more days.

Thanks, so I will try and brave it tomorrow!

And you are right, I am not seeing me wearing this in winter.
Not sure though what I will wear on the eyes, I am so lacking combo ideas at the moment.

Wow, that looks very good. I also have very dark hair and hazel eyes. Here's me hoping it looks half as good on me as on you. Will try it with Shell Pearl as well

 

[purrtykitty]

RayannaBanana, you look so gorgeous!!

 

[Karen_B]

RayannaBanana, I always wished I had your colouring! You look beautiful.

 

[Karen_B]

I finally went for my back-up of Flurry of Fun today, and it was nearly a physical effort to not buy any more things from this collection. I am lemming Float on By (although I never wear brighter coloured liners), Easy Lounger (although I have a million light pink lipglosses and am not a huge light pink gloss fan) and Sand&Sun (although I can probably dupe it with something from my 88 palette). What happened, I was so underwhelmed at first?!

 

[PinkBasset]

You look gorgeous RayannaBanana!

I went and got Golden bronzer and Easy Lounger. Golden is great, it is now my favorite bronzer ever along with Chanel bronze universel cream blusher. I don't have to worry at all with this one to look orange or muddy, it's perfect for my nc15 skin!

I don't know why Firecracker keeps coming in to my mind. I wasn't interested in it at all, and my head says I don't need it and I propably won't use it much, but I still keep thinking if I could make it work for me.
