MAC Tropical Taboo Collection (2013)

:shock: ....really?????????????????

That's what he said. I was trying to see it they had enough stock for me to hold off and get the brushes in store when i check out the collex in person. My DD works at Macys and gets a discount. He also said the LE eyeshadow brush will be permanent too and they are both awesome. Maybe Erine can confirm this for us.

Oh to be a fly on that wall...

LOL! Indeed! The Rep I spoke too got really flustered until she realized what I was saying was correct.She got a gold star in her book by talking to the higher ups about the error.

I keep re-arranging my list but I think I have a semi- solid one now: Caribbean MES, Tropica MES, Time to Tango MES (want to experiment more with a base, fix + etc but will be getting it more than not), Simmer Blush, Sweet Samba Blush, Narcissus C/S, 159 Brush (if it is permanent I will wait until later on), Have To Have It l/l ( b/c it may look good with Sheer Seduction Dazzle), think will skip the MSFs this time around

I blame liba for my getting all the MSF. She just made them sound gorgeous and next level technology. I can't decide which one I will want to use first, but probably Rio.

LOL my thoughts exactly. But my usual problem with MAC is ordering too few, then skippers remorse after everyone posts about how much they love everything. Trying to track some things down after a week or ten days gets tough (I can't make it to a store this week, so I'm stuck online).

I'll probably get skippers remorse for the blushes (didn't order any, want them all), but oh well. Had to draw the line somewhere!

Hehe, well if you listened to me 100%, you'd check everything out in person first

But, you're going to love them all, I think!

my thoughts are that I can usually sell here for retail if I hate it, but if I have to troll around on ebay later, that's going to cost me! I guess I end up with more than I need that way. But then I really have to hate it to return it or resell it. Probably why I have too much make up!

So lust is the one at the top? Crap.

Ditto! This may be too light for me...sigh! May have to trade it out.

I'm just okay about much of this unfortch. I love to look and all but I'm going broke from all the releases and I'm really only excited about the MSFes. The blushes are nice too but I don't know. I guess I'd have to see swatches. The LS and LG are pretty .. but for the price I may be okay skipping. I never have wonderful luck with the MES.. they look pretty but the color payoff is only decent when i use them wet. I guess I'm just not a huge fan of them. I have a boatload and I just look at them mostly. May have to put em up for sale or swap.

Back on track to what i was saying.. can't wait to see swatches for the MSF's a few of them look beautiful and really promising!

It would be great if it was perm!

IME, the best brush for any bronzer depends on how pigmented/strong the color is. Some bronzers are so strong, I want to use a brush with a soft feel with really pliable fibers. Sometimes duo fibre brushes work best for strong bronzers. Other hard or softly pigmented bronzers seem to need a kabuki to beat the pigment out of them. Other bronzers are just normal and go on well with a good blush or powder brush.

I haven't tried the 159 but I'd test it in a store with your fave bronzer first. Usually duo-fibre brushes can give a lovely soft airbrushed look, but it's hard to tell whether this is going to work with your bronzer. If you need a good workhorse bronzer/blush brush, MAC has a few (I'm not an expert on MAC brushes, but many of these specktra-ites are).

The bronzer which I bought today is NARS Laguna. As I'm very pale (NW13), I don't need much pigment out of a bronzer. Thanks for the advice.

I was going to say the same thing. lol

It's called Bronze Glow. Check out some Youtube videos for swatches, they are almost identical.

Thanks! That will be my BSS treat this month. I need to do a no-buy since I'm getting a car soon but between this collection and YSL's sale, it's a little difficult. Not to mention all the new LE drugstore stuff that's been popping up lately. Must. not. buy........too.much. LOL

ha I knew it would sell out first.

Dammit! I had my order ready and in the time it took me to sign in, I get a message stating "Heroine lip pencil is sold out and has been removed from your cart"

I am NOT looking forward to taking time away from packing to head on down to my MAC store thursday to get this pencil... any heroine dupes, or is it really one of those must have colors?

Heroine and Magenta lip liner look similar in my opinion.

Nordstrom still has it up.

Kinda funny that a lip pencil is the first thing of a mineralize collection to sell out

But well....it is Heroine

I think that a lot of people missed out on it when it came out with the FS collection and now took their second chance
to finally get it.

Heroine pencil is sold out.
