MAC - Heatherette for MAC Discussion

[Wednesday100]

Does anyone know if this is still going to launch online in the UK? I'm guessing that it's been on sale in Selfridges stores for 2 days now.

I'm fed up of waiting.

[ritchieramone]

Yes, it will still be going online on maccosmetics.co.uk next week, probably sometime around 15th-17th, according to all the differing dates we've received!

I understand you, I have waited ages, too...
But I can promise: Waiting will be worth it if you hold it in your hands!

On the advice of a MAC online artist, I've been using "Cranapple" Creamstick liner with "Hollywood Nights," and it works great.
You could probably also try "Magenta" or "Beet" pencils with "Hollywood Nights."Even "Half Red" might work okay.
I am having SOO much fun with "Hollywood Nights" and "Style Minx!"
Looks like I'll be spending the summer in fuchsia!

It's 'officially' supposed to go online on the 16th, but lately they've been putting out collections a day or two early, so it's worth keeping checking.

I feel soooooo bad for you

Nope I STILL don't have it! I called CS and they basically told me I had to wait a little longer. I have no tracking # either.

I must be lost because I should have gotten it last week.

I think I may order Trio 1 (again!) before it sells out and HOPE my other stuff gets here.


Anyways, on to more interesting info, I tried Lollipop Loving today and it barely shows up on me! Too sheer but I still like it.

[elegant-one]

^^^Acckkk...thats insane! What a bummer for you. If you really want trio 1, I agree that you should go ahead & get it. You could always send one of them back if it ever shows up. That just sound like an awfully long time to wait IMO

[lindsay_lu]

here's a little heatherette qu for you guys - i'm waiting not so patiently in the uk, and i'm going to have to buy online without testing.

i'm NW15, fairly pigmented lips, and i usually do nude lips - which of the heatherette lipsticks should i go for?
i thought maybe lollipop lovin?
any ideas?

[xoxprincessx0x]

lollipop loving or fleshpot with bonus beat on top gives a nice nude effect

[elegant-one]

^yep, I agree! Fleshpot is the ultimate nude lip with a nice gloss over it. Bonus Beat is very nice. You'll get more of a peachy color with LL

I'm loving Hollywood Nights, it's the perfect bright fuschia on me and will definitely be giving this a try!

[kiss]

I exchanged two Heatherette lip items which I didn't like for eye-shadow trio 1, and I can't believe how much I fell in love with it especially with cloudburst! lol.

[BunnyBunnyBunny]

I love the lip colors so much! I finally got EVERYTHING I wanted, so I'm extremely happy.

Here is Lure Lip Liner, Fleshpot Lipstick, and Sock Hop Lipglass:



and here I am with Heatherette She's Good Lashes on top (bottom lashes are drawn on), with Cranapple Creamstick (Lip) Liner, Hollywood Nights Lipstick, with Viva Glam VI Special Edition and a dab of Snowgirl. I love it!! And I am usually a nude nude lipped boy.

[elegant-one]

The first lip pic is amazing- well so is HN! And those lashes are incredible on you.

[darkishstar]

Bunny you look so gorgeous! I'm so happy you finally got everything you wanted, I still feel like Heatherette was made for you!

Hollywood Nights is the best fuchsia lipstick I've ever gotten my hands on. And I adore Lollipop Loving as well. And for me always going on about not getting back-ups? I got one of LL, Sock Hop, AND Style Minx!

[kaneda]

Feels like it taking ages to go up. Can I ask, VIP on the e/s trio 2 - how similar is that colour to pink venus? As it looks quite similar online.

They appear very similar. They both are baby pinks with silver sparkle. However, they apply very different. I can't remember the exact finishes, but Pink Venus applies more sheer and harder to build up more color compared to VIP. Also (again, I can't remember the finishes and I can't be bothered to check, lol) but PV applies like a lustre, alot of fallout, sometimes chunky application, etc. VIP is much more smooth and velvety, and it's easier to get the pearl to show up in my opinion.

I hope that helped!!

[lindsay_lu]

those pics are awesome - you look great bunny!

[JesseVanity]

I just got my heatherette stuff today and I love fleshpot and hollywood nights but I really don't think lollipop loving shows up on me, is anyone else not keen on lollipop loving or am i the only one?

[darkishstar]

I'm personally in love with Lollipop Loving. It's a great nude for me. You probably thought it would be more coral than it actually is, and that's probably why you're disappointed sad to say.

[Susanne]

Oh - I have to say again that I love Alpha Girl, Hollywood Nights and Style Minx!!

[glam8babe]

yay I'm happy you are finally getting it! Fleshpot scares so many people....I have been using this everyday. I got a backup of LL and not fleshpot....(because FP is pro..) but I use fleshpot every single day. I use it as like a lip erase...under every lipstick lol. I don't think you will regret getting it...

I used someones idea of using fleshpot then sock hop... freaking gorgeous, but very simple. This has been my look everyday lately, and I don't even reach for my pink glosses. Oh and sugar trance on top of FP is great too.

I think LL is one of the lipsticks that you either love or hate. Its pretty sheer on me....I love it though. I wouldn't even consider lollipop lovin a coral...to me its just a very shimmery light pink with subtle green in it. I'm trying to find something to make the green *pop* but I haven't As much as I love it, I haven't been reaching for it much...which worries me, since I have a backup lol.

And I've been using my trio 1 more....i really like the green in it. I don't really like cloudburst..I have so many damn shimmery blacks...but its such a weird formula to me. its like they take carbon and just add shimmer. So whenever I apply it, I get that matte dull look but with a little bit of shimmer. I just hate that. I wish cloudburst (or ANY of my shimmery blacks) applied smooth and blended well. because whenever I use cloudburst with mood ring, I feel like I should've went with another color altogether, instead of a shimmery black.

Oh well. Heatherette still gets my vote for collection of the year. Ahem...until the summer collections come out. Which I'm excited for, but once I get all my new lippies from NN and Neo sci-fi, I'm never going to reach for my Heatherette lipsticks. Except fleshpot

Bunny, if you were a MA at a store near me, I would be standing in line to get you to help me.
