MAC Hey, Sailor! (Summer 2012) Discussion - Page 66

Not tonight, but you night owls can watch the harbor just in case a sailor comes by.... catch him! :)

It's on my list!  Hahaha!

But I think it may be online tomorrow or maybe Thursday.  Don't think it will be tonight for some reason.  

The difference is that a red-based bronzer will imitate a slight sunburn, which looks more authentic, whereas a yellow-based bronzer just deepens the complexion. I hope this makes sense.

Just wanted to weigh in on my new items from this collection.........

-Jaunty is GORGEOUS!!!!!  It is a really nice light neutral beige with just a hint of yellow/gold to it, but without any warmth...if that makes sense.  I find that most of MACs perm shades that are similar are either too peachy or warm for me, but this one is just perfect!  I wore it today over Morning Frost PP with Dark Dare (from ED) to add depth and it was amazing with just those 2 shadows.  It reminds me a bit of Warming Trend, it is much lighter and more neutral, but has the same sort of flavor.

-Barefoot is a perfect gold in my opinion.  It's a fabulous texture, a mid-tone neutral yellow gold (much less yellow than Goldmine), and seems to have an ethereal extra gold reflection as well.  Like a gold with another gold duochrome if that was at all possible.  I am always on the hunt for good gold shadows, and in my large stash of LE MAC I don't have another gold as good as this one.  I should probably buy a back up!

-Feeling Fresh was interesting and the color was very vibrant and pigmented, but I found the shadow quite "dry".  For some reason I think that a color like this needs to be moist and buttery, like a veluxe pearl, so when i swatched it I was immediately turned off.  I would rather use Landscape Green pigment and then layer something frosty over the top to get the look that I wanted this shadow to have.  That said, perhaps over Emerald Sea liner it would have the density and shimmer that I feel this color deserves.  

-Fleet Fast was SO MUCH PRETTIER IN PERSON than all the pictures I have seen!!!!!  In photos it looked kind of dirty and drab, but IRL it is beautiful "realistic" coral, and looks glowing and natural on the cheeks.  SO glad I decided to buy it at the last moment, and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is on the fence!  I also thought it might look just like Early Morning blush from Naturally, but it is pinker, fresher, and less shimmery...but it is similar.

I managed to walk away from everything else in this collection and I think I am OK with that, but I may go back for back ups of Jaunty and Barefoot.  ( I would rather back up all of my shadows from ED instead because those puppies are AMAZING!!!!!!)

Hope that helps!  If anyone wants comparison swatches of Jaunty or Barefoot or Fleet Fast next to other shadows or blushes just ask!

I did a makeup look today ladies using:

Feeling fresh in the crease

Barefoot eyeshadow patted on the lid

A blue eyeshadow as liner and under lower lid (I will be picking up Nautical Navy tomorrow!)

Soft Sand bronzer all over and as a contour

Fleet Fast Blush

Red Racer lipstick

I am NC42 color at MAC and I think Soft Sand is a lovely natural bronzer, I underestimated how beautiful and pigmented Fleet Fast blush is!- A must have in fact I think I need to back it up! Need to back up Red Racer tooo!!!!

What do you think? Yay or Nay?

My final (sort of) list:

Gotta Have it pile:

- TCAS lippy (love that one on PinkDollFace, and I think this is the most original of the collxn)

- Feeling Fresh e/s (this jumped on my list, it looks gorgeous)

- Jaunty e/s (gotta have it if its like Naked lunch with more yellow tones)

- Fleet Fast p/b

- Crew (this jumped on my list due to comparisons with the Vera face products!)

- Sun Dipped bronzer

- 168

These are now in the maybe pile:

- Sail La Vie lippy (I think I can use an orange liner I have instead & skip this, but I love the lipstick case with the cute stripes)

- Gone Sailing tote (I probably won't get it in time before the dreaded OOS of doom)

- Au Rose suntint (not sure its a need)

- 167SH

- Shore Leave PL l/p (I will probably get it because the PL pencils are long lasting and can double as a full lip application product/very matte lipstick)  and Iove the color

- Man Rays body oil (it looks like a fairly unique product)

I wish I could say this is the list I am sticking to, I will probably waffle some more.  At least I have the luxury of doing this since we have gobs of swatches before the do or die moment

I don't know if i can resist Red Racer much longer. But i've gotten way too many lipsticks lately and i will get Reel Sexy and Heroine this week as well. Need to stop buying lipsticks 

OMG.  I JUST went over to check out and IT'S SOLD OUT!!!

That just topped off my crappy day. 

Did I miss the comparisons of Crew and the Vera face products? Were there swatches? Are they similar? Can anyone help me?! Pretty please?

Same here. I've bought so many lipsticks this spring, and I'm not finishing anything.

Red Racer is looking beautiful. Hope I'll stay strong. LOL

Oh, no, Shellcat! Hope you'll still find it!

Shell, contact me when it pops up on PRO! I think I'm jinxing the release of it on PRO because I usually don't stalk to site... so I'm not gonna do it anymore LOL

Feeling fresh e/s turns to a gorgeous Emerald green when used wet. Found this put by using a damp liner brush for my lower waterline! 

Thanks for the recs. I don't have any of those, LOL. I've been wanting to get the 184 and 138 for a while, but they're both discontinued as far as I know. (I know the 138 isn't in other countries, but it is here)

I got Soft Sand and just quickly tried it today with the 129. I will have to try it with other brushes.

BTW the bronzing powder packaging is so cute! 

  <----This is the kind of day I have had.  Was expecting to come home, hit MAC PRO and buy some dayum makeup!! 

So yeah, now you guys REALLY  know the reason why we make patients wait in the waiting room for a bit. 

It's because your dental hygienist is logging onto the MAC site and ordering makeup! 

I know both are discontinued, but they still had them in the pro store in Amsterdam. I think the 184 was a pro only brush and the 138 a freestanding store only, so if you have one of these close to you, you might be able to find them.

I love the bronzer packaging as well!

YAY! They look lovely on you! If I remember correctly, you also purchased Sun Dipped PLW Bronzer? I'm an NC40 at the moment, but it won't be long until I'm an NC42 with summer around the corner. I'm curious to see how Sun Dipped would look on the face on skintones NC40 and up.
