WOC: Surf Baby

Hello, Im SuPer excited for this collection.  SO far on my list I have :

 

My Paradise Blush (I tried to talk myself out of this becuz I have a few coral blushes  but this color looks more orange in swatches too me, so Im just gonna bite the bullet and get it )

 

ALL eyeshadows except Short Shorts ( i have more than enough highlight colors)

 

Hibiscus l/s & Naturally Eccentric ( I think coral colors look AMAZING on women of color, although im wondering how Hibiscus comapres to Toxic Tale although Toxic Tale looks more orange. Naturally Eccentric might be too light for me to wear on its own but I want to maybe change the color up with different lip liners or maybe use it as a layering lipstick . .. just have fun with this lippie).  Bust Out looks pretty but it sorta of reminds me of Up the Amp, Playtime, Spitfire and all the other pinky purple lipsticks MAC has come out with.  We need a TRUE purple lipstick.

 

ALL glosses EXCEPT Krazy Kahuna, Im usually not a fan of bronzy brown lipstick or glosses. UNLESS when I go into the store and swatch it for myself and change my mind !

 

SKIPPING the pigment stack, I have both stacks from the SCF collection which I dont use because they are quite chunky and hard to work with BUT why are the swatches of Surf the Ocean pulling me in ???? Help me to stay strong!

 

Gilded White e/l because I think it will be less harsh on the lash line than a white e/l.

 

Im not one to be into bronzer but im wondering about the bronzing sticks?? Im also wondering about the careblend pressed powder in lush-light ??

 

What are ya'll thoughts?

Well I thought I would be able to stay away from this collection I even tried to stay away from this site for a while so I wouldn't be tempted so I could focus on Semi-Precious but, I'm addicted. So I would like:

sun blonde e/s

saffron e/s

hibiscus l/s 

My Paradise b/p (on the fence about because I don't want to get something similar to NARS Taj Mahal since it is suppose to come off orange)

Surf the Ocean pigment stack

Summer Stash pigment Stack (maybe)

 

I was going to skip the pigment stacks but I think Temptalia said they aren't as chunky as the ones before.

 

@ BeautyByLele, 

Stay strong and skip the pigment stack.  They look pretty, but not pretty enough, to me anyway.  I don't know if that makes any sense.  I think the Bronzing Sticks actually look quite good, but it's not the type of product I would get much use out of. But if you like NARS Mutliples, then you would probably like them, and the first two shades swatched by Temptalia look really nice.  And the Careblend powders looked nice too, but the shades won't do anything for me, however if I felt they would, I would get at least one.  So if I had your coloring, I'd snatch up a Careblend powder for sure.  And if I liked creamy stick type products I'd get a bronzing stick.  But, I prefer a simple powder bronzer to a cream or liquid, so if you don't even like bronzer really, maybe just get the Careblend powder and not the bronzing sticks?  Another thing too, I try not to buy too many cream products (especially expensive ones) because they can go bad, and powder usually doesn't.  So if I had 100 powder blushes for example, I might limit my cream blushes to under 20 because I don't want tons of items that will one day go bad, so if it's a product you might not get much use out of, that is something to possibly consider as well.  Just my thoughts. 

 

Anyway, for me I'll probably get My Paradise for sure and maybe Surf USA e/s.  That's all.

I've got my final list:

Sun Blonde shadow
Hibiscus lipstick
Gilded White eyeliner
Krazy Kahuna lipglass

I just want My Paradise and Surf USA! 

Right now my list stands at:

Surf USA e/s

Hibiscus l/s

My Paradise cheek powder

 

I love all things coral! I realized the other day that I have a fascination with coral blushes in particular. Hopefully this will be at Pro on 5/19 so I can grab my lemmings.

Thanks Twinkle, I needed that ! I am going to skip the bronzers sticks & the careblend powders.  I have yet to own a bronzing powder and to tell the truth im not even into bronzers, I think the pics & swatches are pulling me in. As far as the pig stacks imma have to pull out the ones from SCF to remind me why I dont need these new ones.  So thanks girl you have enabled me to skip them with your logic.
 

 

Hi

 

I really don't belong here with my pale skin, but I have just tried the bronzer stick in Tan-Tint and it is really pigmented and quite dark. Given the fact that it is the lightest of the three and still quite dark and very builtable, I think the stick bronzers are really worth checking out for WOC. Remember, this is the lightest of the three.

 

I completely understand..I'm a coral & peach fanatic! 

That's why My Paradise is such a must-have for me!
 

 

I am so excited and can't wait until it is released.  Here is a You Tuber who is a WOC showing swatches for Surf Baby:

She is speaking French but the idea is to see the swatches. 

Here is my list:

 

Blush:  My Paradise

 

Eyeshadows: Short Shorts, Sun Blonde, Surf USA

 

Lipglass: Girl on Board, Good Lovin, Strange Potion

 

Lipstick: Naturally Eccentric, Hibiscus

 

Eye Pencils: Blue Moon, Gilded White

 

Stacked Pigments: Summer Stash, Surf the Ocean

 

I want to try the bonzer sticks but need to swatch them first.

 

I always go to the PRO store to get my items because they are released a week earlier.  

 

Thanks for that video. I am definitely skipping the pigment stacks. They look craptastic. I have good Mac pigments that I barely use so why bother with these? I much prefer pressed shadows.

Everybody is welcome in  this forum
 

Yay - Glad I could help. I know I always appreciate fellow makeup addicts talking me out of purchases.  

 

I want My Paradise, Krazy Kahuna, and Saffron.  But I'll probably end up getting just Saffron.

Sun Blonde e/s

Surf USA e/s

Swell Baby e/s (Maybe. I don't think I have any colors like this one.)

My Paradise Blush

 

 

After seeing the Temptalia dupe swatches I think my list is now: definitely My Paradise, probably Sun Blonde (but I am going to bring UD Honey Deluxe Shadow to compare) and maybe Surf USA (I know I can dupe this 10 ways from Sunday, so I'll probably leave it, but it is so pretty).  Still a short list so I am happy. 

I'm eyeing up:
My Paradise Powder
Surf USA eyeshadow
Swell Baby is a maybe
Bust Out Lipstick
Hibiscus Lipstick

The collection is released online in the UK but i'm waiting for it to be released in store so that i can swatch and compare with other perm items.

For sure:

 

-Short shorts e/s

-Sun blonde e/s

 

Maybe:

-Glided white

- One of the bronzer sticks

 

I'll have to check out my Paradise in store.

Thanks :)

 

Honestly, after seeing swatches, I may get...nothing.

 

-All the comparisons of Hibiscus to Toxic Tale has me worried since Toxic Tale looked like a hot mess on me

-My Paradise looks really close to Devil, which I can always buy from the local Pro store

-I hate how Up the Amp looks on me, and the comparisons between it and Bust Out are not helping.

 

I may pick up the Gold-Go-Lightly Careblend powder to use as a setting powder since it looks similar to my skin tone, but I'd have to check it out in person. Actually all of the above I think I'd have to see in person to make a final decision...I just don't want to make an impulse buy and end up having stuff I never use.

 

I recently got hooked onto Nars due to finding my HG foundation there (Tahoe), so that may be part of why my desire for Surf Baby stuff has gone poof!

Sun Blonde and Surf USA eyeshadows. My Paradise powder and maybe the pigment stacks. I'm more impressed with this collection than I thought I would be.

Okay so I've updated my list :

 

Hibiscus l/g x2

Natural Eccentric l/s

Girl on Board l/g

Strange Potion l/g x2

Saffron e/s

Surf USA e/s

Son Blonde e/s

Good Luvin l/g

 

Im taking the eyeliner & My Paradise Blush off my list. (don't need them just want them)

 

Im getting 2 Hibiscus l/g & 2 Strange Potion l/g to pass one each to my mom !!!!

SO, after watching the video I must have Hibiscus for sure...  Such a pretty color!!!!!

I want:

Surf USA e/s

Hibiscus l/s

My Paradise cheek powder

 

I'm also looking into the pigment stack with the seafoam green and also Glitzy Bronze bronzing stick.  I think it might hold off my lemming for Metal Rock MSF

I may have to check out Hibiscus lipstick as well. 

Only Saffron & Sun Blonde for me. I really wanna get Surf USA but I think I own every other teal known to mankind. I plan to bring some along to compare, and keep me from buying it, LOL

After seeing Temptalia's swatches, I'm now over My Paradise and only want Krazy Kahuna, Billionaire Bronze and Summer Stash pigment stack.
