MAC - Baby Blooms Discussion

[DILLIGAF]

Im on my way to the mall right now. I will be trying out the tinted moisterizer. My 1st foray into any sort of foundation product. I'll be back to tell you what I got.

[Face2Mac]

Has anyone tried the skintints for darker skin (NC40-50) tones and if so, what is the verdict?

[keik614]

so i just came back from the mall checking out Suntints, and being a HUGE tendertone fan especially EZ Baby (i had 6 and am on my 3rd right now), i have to say im utterly dissappointed.

i bought the two pink ones and the yellow one with sparkles, but will be returning ALL OF THEM soon. this was the collection of which i thought id buy a ton of backups, just like Tendertones, but they are no comparison to TTs IMO.

i cant believe i was going to spend so much money on these tiny clear gloss!! even with nice texture and lasting power, these lipbalms are midiocre AT BEST.
sorry ladies, no intention to offend anyone but i just had to let it out and say that these are WASTE OF MONEY

i love love love the studio moisture tint! i did a very natural look today with the moisture tint, jap gel blush and transparent finishing powder. it feels great on my skin not heavy or greasy at all, and when set with the finishing powder it stayed all day through 103 degree weather and humidity! i am super pleased with this product!

[Miss Dynamite]

I tested the Suntints yesterday and none of them even showed color on my hand, I was excited when I first heard about them, but they are a total pass. Wanted to test out the tinted moisturizer, but the tester for the light one was sealed.
Oh well, I know I'll get it eventually anyway.

Yep, that is the perfect combination for beautiful looking natural skin! I love those two together too

Yes I did. I picked up Deep Dark and it is a nice product, but I've recently fallen in love with Rock And Republic tinted moisturizer. The finish is awesome and it has a slight illumination giving a nice glow. I will however use my Mac as well. As someone stated earlier, its a light version of Studio Sculpt, so you really can't go wrong.

hi erine, this may sound stupid but why they are more expensive? Do they have some great ingredients as face creams + some foundation in it? If yes, can i skip my face cream and just apply tinted moisturizer?

by the way, has somebody with oily skin tried them? does it last?

my ma said that they should not be used without an additional moisturizer. i have oily skin and can still pull off wearing both this and a moisturizer, i would just suggest that you make sure your moisturizer is oil free. when i wore this yesterday i used mac's oil control moisturizer and the prep&prime refined zone before putting on the studio moisture tint. and like i said if you set it with the transparent finishing powder it stays all day and i didn't have to blot off my face either. hope that helps!

[elegant-one]

Full of Grace is very very pretty - a pinky rosey red. I hope when I get mine to try it that it will actually show up on my lips.
<------ I love this guy

[purplerinne]

Just got back from the mall and I LOVE the face tints! I'm currently an NC40 and I got matched to Med Dark. I also tried the Dark and it's a VERY little difference between the 2. I can pull off Dark but I'll just stick to Med Dark and if I tan I'll put on bronzer =)

I've had it on about an hour and I feel like it's not even there! I like it better than my Laura Mercier TM =X

Well that sounds promising! I got samples yesterday and I'm hoping these have at least the same coverage as the LM TM.

[AlliSwan]

I love my LM (and have three backups) so it would take a lot to get me to stray. Plus MAC foundations have ALWAYS broken me out so I will wait and see what the verdict is later on....the Suntints were LAME imo--no color whatsoever, tacky feel, just lousy.

mac's moisturizers are priced at the high end of the foundations or higher ($29.50 and up). and since these are moisturizers, and not a foundation, its gonna be priced as such. they're gonna do what a moisturizer does, but have some tint to it so that it will help even out slight discolourations without the use of a foundation.

if you want, you can use it alone for moisture, but like i say below, its not gonna address your skin needs like the other moisturizers do.

man! what is it with MA giving incorrect advice!?

these are a tinted moisturizer, which means its a moisturizer with tint. its a moisturize (which is why its in the skincare section of products).

this can be used as a moisturizer by itself, if you want, because its a moisturizer. the only downside is that (even tho any skintype can use it), its not skin type specific, so it won't address your skin issues (oiliness, dryness) like the other moisturizers do. so, if you have oily skin, you may want to use oil control in addition to this as opposed to alone. i'd suggest the those with normal skin are the only ones that could possibly wear it alone.

yea that's what my ma said too, sorry for me not being specific. i don't want to make him look bad he really is a good ma. sorry erine you're always having to correct us here. haha. but i do adore your advice.

no need to appologize hun. it just frustrates me when people either don't pay attention or just don't know and tell people whatever they can think of. there's no shame in not knowing. we're told if we don't know something, say so. don't just make shit up cuz that'll cause more probs than just admitting you don't know.

you definatly can still prep the skin with your regular moisterizer (be it an oil control or whatever your choice of daily moisterizer) and you can still do a primer. but it also wears well alone, which to me is one of the great things about this product. as far as what it has that makes it special ; its about an 8 release of moisture, it contains sodium hyleronate which plumps up fine lines, and contains anti-oxidants to protect the skin (vitamins e and c) it even has an spf and gives you a satin finish. i pair it with msfn and love the way it wears.

wow, it really seems like a great product!
thanx hun!

[Winthrop44]

Anyone know if the TM contains propylene or pentylene glycol? Is the vitamin C ascorbyl palmitate? What is/are the sunscreen agent(s)?

[OfficerJenny]

Definitely one of my favorite products that has been released this year. The moisturizer is phenomenal!

[SlvrGrndM99]

I'm NC20-NC25 (Depending on what foundation & time of year), MUFE HD 117 w/o tanning, 118 w/.

Light, Medium or both? LOL.

The moisturizer tints run lighter in my opinion. I am NC30. Medium was too light for me, Medium-Dark too dark. I ended up mixing them and got my match. Hope this helps.

[mdjmsj]

I tried a sample of the Tinted Moisturizer in Light (NW15 here) and I really liked it. It really helped to even out the redness in my cheeks. I'll be picking up a full size tube soon. I didn't even bother looking at the lip products-after reading every one else's reviews, it sounds like they are just clear lipgloss with some SPF!

A comparable product for a fraction of the price could be Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Pool Party glosses. I've been meaning to try those-I love the consistency of the regular VSBR glosses and the new ones have added SPF. They are generally 6 for $20. Just a heads up for anyone who might havve wanted these new Baby Blooms glosses.
