I found a FOTD that I posted wearing it. http://www.specktra.net/forum/f166/m...-parrot-95124/ Seeing those pics, I miss my blonde hair. I REALLY want to go back to blonde for summer

Audrey you look fab in those pics. However I absolutely LOVE your hair in your avavtar. I think the red really makes your eyes pop and your skin looks so lovely with it. You look gorgeous either way.

Sometimes it's too good. Like when I want to take a picture of my eye makeup but get too close and end up with a scary detailed close up of my eyeball.

Really, I have sensitive skin but have no problems with the bpb's at all, their texture is heavenly.

I love coral/pink blushes! I love to wear them with greens especially. I really need to get springsheen.

Am i the only one who hates the packaging for this collection ? It would look so much better in a gold or soft bronze......

I don't hate it persay, but I would have loved to see a pearlized cerulean blue - like the colour of deep water in the ocean. Maybe next summer, MAC?

 

[brokenxbeauty]

^ Oh, MzzRach that would be so pretty!

I'm afraid I want everything!

Is hipness quite wearable?

because i have difficulty with corals. I bought ripe peach and i love it, i also love benefit sugar bomb, but i bought benefit coralista and i look AWFUL in it. i also have a couple coral lippies that make me look awful.

is hipness as universally loved as something like ripe peach, or is it more hard to wear?

I'm NC15/20 and Hipness is AMAZING. It's sheer but buildable and it gives a beautiful color/glow to my cheeks. I look healthy and ready for summer. And I'm someone who really can't pull off coral or orange colors, it has the perfect amount of pink to work on a lot of skin tones, IMO.

That's exactly what I needed to hear! Hipness, you will be mine!

Oh and boo to orange.

I agree. When I think of beachy colours, I think of ocean blue and sandy colours. I don't get the green at all.

I agree. I was expecting lots of blue and gold. I'm surprised at all of the green shades.

 

[hawaii02]

Maybe MAC was thinking of palm trees instead of the ocean??

Any comparison pics of Hipness and Ripe Peach? It will help a lot!

 

[abbyquack]

All this Hipness talk has me worried, because I'm not sure if I sold it or not...I am traveling so I can't check my stored stash. But at the same time, I didn't really wear it, so I am debating if it would be worth it to get it again. Sigh...

Thank you for the swatches, Monica! RP and Hipness are very different. Hipness is much more pink.
