MAC Hey, Sailor! (Summer 2012) Discussion - Page 81

Thanks, it's sensible but SOOOOO hard to be patient!!!

Yeah ! Enjoy...I'm so excited to hear what you all lucky early birds think of the collection! Where can I find the list of what you bought? Thanks in advance.

Fleet Fast is darker. If you want a subtle blush, take Launch Away. If you decide to go for Fleet Fast, use a light hand.

You have my respect...

So... im going to the event tonight! :) at 8pm :)

 

Im in NYC already!

Have fun!!!

Wow, mac-guy, that was a crazy fast delivery! Happy playtime! I can't remember, did you order all the shadows?

I hope they come out with darker bronzers, especially in the PLW formula. I have Solar Riche, and don't really find it's always enough for me, esp in warmer months. I'm starting to question whether I need the brush if it's only good for softer products, but now that I think about it, it might be better for my NARS blushes!

Thanks for trying to be sensible for me, but I know its going to fly out the window when I get in front of the make up!

 

I'm not on a buget, but with all these LE collections coming out just trying to make a pregame plan of what I want. Perhaps if the PRO people put up more swatches and FOTDs I'll be able to make a more clear list. Oh I am crazy for LS so if RR and TCAS look good there will be no regrets about buying those. And as for the bronzer, I'll have to see to believe!

 

Thanks for your advice.

Yeah so glad the PROs are getting their black boxes! I can't wait to see lots of swatches and FOTDs. Enjoy! It will help me make a more accurate list and try to stick to it...

 

Although, in ED collection in my first 2 hauls, I didn't get YV or Havannah. When Shellcat raved about YV I went into a panic that I didn't have it. So I had to some major dectective work to get my mits on it. I went into zombie mode... must HAVE YV so everything is right in the world. I'm still working with it to see what how I can make it work best.
 

Have a great day everyone.

Ok, in that case:

I would definately get Red Racer and Sail la Vie. I would also get TCAS if you're ready for the bronzey lip look. It's really nice.

Of the e/s I would at least take feeling fresh, Barefoot if you don't have a pretty gold e/s yet and Jaunty if you like a sandy colour. (I paired jaunty with Nautical Navy today, cute).

Of the liners I would definately get Handforged and Emerald Sea. If you already have the TC blushes I would take FF (LA is a pinkier version of IF) and I would take Crew.

If you think you'll wear bronzer get matched up in the store for the PLW.. If you're not a l/g girl, skip those (I'm usually not much of a l/g person, but I got blessedly rich, send me sailing and riviera life, all are gorgeous).

 

The Sail la Vie l/s is one of my favorite items from this collection. Well, I like it all TBH :D 

I'm not interested in Fleet Fast, just Launch Away, but I can't seem to find more than a few posts (edit: blog posts, not here) on LA while there are dozens featuring FF. Since I have pink undertones I'm curious for more information on LA since it seems to have a somewhat yellowy pull.

I think it's more of a peachy pink. I have swatched (from left to right) Launch Away, Immortal Flower and Fleet Fast. HTH. (NC 15 skin)

 

 

 

 

I am around NW10, and I love Launch Away!  It appears more pink on the cheeks than it does in the pan. 

Quote:

I did! I posted swatches of the blushes on my NW10 skin a fair few pages back, but here they are again:

 

 

Mighty Aphrodite, Fleet Fast. Pink Tea, Launch Away

 

LA is a very pretty blush - it is quite similar to the TC blushes in terms of awesome pigmentation, at least on my really pale skin!

 

I like both blushes equally (I'm NW10-15), but I think FF is more unique, I guess that's why you see more hauls&reviews with it. A lot of people might think that they already own something similar. I wouldn't say that LA pulls yelllow, it looks very pink on me, and as mentioned before pulls pinker and more intense on skin than how it looks in the pan. I also feel like you have to really work it into the skin. When I first applied it I couldn't see much after just some swipes, but when I blended more, it showed up more intense than I expected.

I think LA is a blush that you really have to try on yourself and can't judge it just by swatches.

Me too! But in Texas. I can't wait. My first event!

how can I order if im not a pro member? Is there a spec ial phone number? How did you order? Thanks!

I really like LA on you, Gracie; it has a coral tone. On my own NC25 warm tones, I suspect it will look far cooler. Fleet Fast looks almost orange on you in this swatch; I'm not sure that it would on me.

 

Immortal Flower is pigmented enough for me and looks quite natural. If LA is warm enough to work on me (doubtful since Lovecloud wasn't), I'd be interested in that one as well.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not think they will sell it to you if you don't have a pro membership.

Neither do I.

 

I was wondering this also.

 

Sorry if I missed if it has been answered.

Shipping update:  I ordered last night with two-day shipping.  My order just shipped and this is what the tracking says..

Originally Scheduled For Delivery On:

Thursday, 05/17/2012, By End of Day

 

The last time my tracking info said this I did not get early delivery, but my fingers are crossed!!

I love TCAS and can't wait to get my hands on it. What are you planning on pairing it with?

Soo.. the 167 brush, Nude on Board and another Red racer just jumped into my cart
 

A nice bronzer, a lip pencil like oak if you want the colour to stay the same of perhaps spice lip pencil for a bit more dimension. You could accentuate your eyes a bit heavier.

I posted it a few posts up :)

Sounds like a plan - I'll buy the beverages.
