MAC Tropical Taboo Collection (2013)

[Debbs]

close up on a few es Dare To Bare was the least appealing to me Love Love Love Caribbean Tropica is extremely beautiful however for some reason Blue Orbit EDES comes to mind?

skinfinishes Lust is the brightest one, Rio and Adored seems almost alike, very close, even my husband commented that they do (had to come clean)

Do you like Rio or Adored more? I can't decide to get all 3 or just 2 :/

i am confused is the collection already out?

No but some stores allow swatching before it launches.

Do I need narcissus if I have mirrored plum by maybelline. Any woc can compare both.

Mirrored Plum v Narcissus




I prefer the color of MP but the texture of Narcissus.

I wouldn't get both unless you want to get one or the other then add Lust as a second one.
They are too close to justify getting both. Adored may work better for paler beauties and Rio for darker beauties due to the bronzy color part.
They did seem fairly well proportioned colorwise but you may get lucky and get one with more or less of the color that appeal to you more

I just placed an order for Narcissus! that is my only must have from this collection. I have MP too so I'm glad they are close I can switch em off, to try to make them last me a lil while. ima try to hit up macys next week for MM or FI, maybe both but it depends on swatches. I'm pretty pissed off at mac right now cuz I'm not excited about any of the upcoming fall collections.... Congrats by the way in making moderator!! that riri thread it too much to keep up with right now lol

Thank you for these!!! MSFs tend to be my weakness with MAC. These however look completely different on different skin tones so I think these will definitely need to be seen in person before I make a decision if I want any!!

thanks richelle they do look pretty close. Maybe a skip depending on if I have enough funds. I doubt they will look any different on my lips because mine are so pigmented.

You are absolutely right. Lighting, device, flash or no flash, skin tone all influence ur ultimate decision. I have several pics and they do appear to variate in some. I don't want to overwhelm with all the pics however since launch may be imminent I thought it best to share

So I missed out on heroine and ablaze l/l in fashion sets. I've been using NYX orange and purple rain l/l instead. Do you guys think it's necessary to have matching l/l for my heroine and ablaze lippies? Idk I can't decide. My NYX alternatives pretty much get the job done. Although I was curious about ablaze. I wasn't sure if maybe the NYX liner was making it more orange than it really is or that's the actual color. This is what I think about at 5am. Smh. Lol

I recommend both heroine and ablaze liners :nods:

MINE!!! :drools:

Thanks debbs for the swatches.

Do you think people will go nuts just for the liners? My local mac was crazy on the morning of fashion sets. Wondering if I should get there early next Thursday when they're supposed to have TT.

If you can get em online, do that. I do think they'll go crazy in stores. People missed out on em, and don't wanna risk it happening again!
