MAC - Naughty Nauticals Discussion

Sorry double post, delete please.

Is the blue duochrome in Love Knot very obvious? Someone said the lustreglass looked weird on her. The blue seem to overpower the shade itself?

I don't find the green duochrome in Palatial very obvious, only can see it really up close. Hmm... any comments please?

I find the blue noticeable, but not overpowering by any means. I certainly don't see it and go "aaaah! blue lips!" I love, love, love it over any red lipstick, too (my personal favourite being Russian red); makes for such a hot colour. I think it's a gorgeous gloss - I pretty much NEVER buy MAC glosses, and I bought this one. Love it!

On me, the blue was very obvious and in some lights overpowering. It turned the gloss into a lavendar color a certain way the light hit. I wouldn't say it was bad, I just knew it wasn't a color that I would wear often enough to warrant buying it. I don't have Palatial, so I can't compare the amount of duochrome in that vs. Love Knot.

[gigglegirl]

seriously I love shore leave on the lid and illegal cargo in the crease and part of lid. it lasted all day. LOVE it!!
Now must still use mutiny...

For anyone who has been waiting, the Stowaways Quad is finally available online

Wow, Naughty Nautical nail lacquer is already sold out on the Cdn website! Not that surprised, as the polishes always seem to sell out quickly, but I wasn't anticipating to see anything gone in the first week.

I really love Love Knot. I do not find the blue over the top at all and I love it over Port. I don't buy a lot of lipglass but I had to have this.

[postcard]

I skipped Bell Bottom because I have very similar blues from other brands but I am so tempted to just go get it! I love blues and will use it. Is this a must have???? I have my eye on Deep Truth. I doubt I would need both. Help!

If you're thinking of getting Deep Truth, then maybe wait for Cool Heat. There's supposed to be a similar shade but with better texture in that collection (based on swatch pics by Erine1881). But BBB is quite different in colour, lighter but more muted if that makes any sense. Personally, I really like BBB.

[cloudburst]

My haul: shore leave & illegal cargo e/s, naughty nautical polish, mutiny pigment & buoy-o-bouy l/s.

I'm not usually a lipstick girl but I love buoy-o-buoy! I thought I would want bell bottom blue pigment but it wasn't intense enough for me to buy it.

[Sanayhs]

I was originally interested in Bell Bottom Blue pigment, but decided that with Naval and Cornflower in hand, it wasn't spectacularly different enough to warrant me spending the $23.50 plus tax. My MA was actually pretty "enh" about it, too, saying that there are certainly ways of recreating the colour, it's not that original.

[zabbazooey]

I looooove the NN n/l. I got a manicure and pedicure and had them painted. My nails are so droolworthy!!

[Furrinalia]

My Haul (so far) Shore leave, Illegal Cargo & NN nail polish <3

Shore leave is so smooth, I love the vp finish.

[delic1999]

I was acctualy a bit dissapointed after I swatched the lipsticks and glosses. They eneded up being too pink for my liking on my skin. Same with some of the shadows. The only things I ended up getting was Shore Leave and Lark About. A friend is giving me a sample of Munity so I'll play with it so i can see if it's a must have since i'm not so into wearing blues. i have a new top that Munity will match with so I'll have to try it out and see.

[*~vicki~*]

i bought mutiny pigment and submarine and shore leave e/s today. i'm thinking of going back to get NN nail lacquer though... the swatch thread is taunting me for not picking it up.

[SMMY]

I'm thinking of picking up Shore leave and Illegal Cargo, but only as a B2M item. I've decided to skip on the pigments for now and wait for them to show up at my CCO. I just can't justify that much moola for blue pigments.
Can't wait for my lippies to arrive though. I ordered Party Mate, Port Red, Bateaux and Love Knot.
Saving the rest of my money for the Neo Sci Fi and Cool Heat collections.

[zabbazooey]

I picked up Shore Leave, Mutiny, Illegal Cargo, Meet The Fleet, Port Red, and NN n/l.

I got Bell Bottom Blue and Lovely Lily for free (samples!!!)

I also picked up the Stowaways quad...can't wait for it to come in the mail!!

<3 this collection

Phew! It's still up on the US site.

[AudreyNicole]

I am wearing Lark About lashes to brow with Submarine and Bell Bottom Blue in the crease, and Meet the Fleet on the outer V. Man oh man, I LOVE this collection! I feel like this collection was made for me. It's right up my alley Lark About is really pretty. I was unsure about it whenI bought it, but I am SO glad I did. It's a great color!

[elegant-one]

Port Red is such an amazing red. I wore a sheer appl. of it with She-Gold l/g today...Ahhh pretty

[Stephie Baby]

Does anyone think BBB or bateaux will sell out soon??? Idk if I should get it now or wait till I get my card.

I don't think bateaux will. i don't think that many people are feelin it.

I bought bateaux and ensign....i don't even know if i like them anymore. ensign is just so..metallic pink. i didnt expect that. I don't have anything like it I think, but I feel like Ensign, Viva Glam SE, Starlet Kiss, and even moonstone lip gelee are in that same...frosty pink category. Which I rarely even reach for

And bateaux is just a frosty bronze. Which i thought would flatter me but I think I look like an alien

Sorry guys I'm a little crabby lol. I've been making so many damn returns lately, not only to MAC but other places and I'm just frustrated that nothing ever works!
