MAC Heavenly creature discussion - Page 118

Well crap.

T's swatches have definitely made me want Fire Sign and Venus.  Damnit.

Can anyone with Ring of Saturn tell me how "glittery" it is?  Would I have to be careful to make sure it doesn't accentuate my pores?  I love the colour but I really have to make sure it's something I would use, otherwise it would be a waste of money for me which I can't afford.

OMG I LOVE EVERYTHING I GOT. IM DEF GOING to MAC pro tmrw to buy backups of earthshine and center of the universe

Astral, Meteoric

Magnetic Attraction, Universal Appeal (UA is more purpley and much prettier. My camera hated it.)

Another of MA and UA

Center of the Universe, Star Wonder, Supernova (all SO gorgeous!!)

Pale girls with warm skin tones, do NOT be afraid of Center of the Universe. Applied with a 188, you can totally rock it. I love how it looks on me (NC20)

as many of us have

@ drunk shopping

No, I haven't done that.

OMG, I cannot believe I finally caught up with this thread! I don't even remember how many pages I read since yesterday! Thank you so much for all your pictures, swatches, and thoughts! You girls are simply amazing!

I think the swirl finally has got me. I was supposed to skip this collection entirely. What happened to me? I like how lovely Light Year MSF looks now. Am I drunk? I don't even drink, ladies. It must be the power of Specktra…

Well, my package arrived today.

LOVE Magnetic Attraction. Mine is mostly orange so quite different from Expensive Pink. I like Strictly Plutonic a lot too. It's almost a nude on me - MLBB. It doesn't really add a lot of colour but I really like the CSG finish.

I HATE Cut a Caper. Ugh. I didn't think there was a coral I could hate. I was wrong. My lips are pigmented enough that it barely shows; it certainly doesn't add colour, just fades them out slightly and not in a flattering way. Don't like the finish, don't like the colour. My teenage daughter likes lustres, so I walked into her room and tossed it on her bed. Hopefully she likes it. And yes, I suppose I could make it work with liner and l/g, but why bother? I'd rather layer Ravishing l/g over liner.

I'm sorry I didn't get Fire Sign instead; I think the sheerer finish would have been ok with a deeper colour. It's hard to tell on a computer screen, but the colour reminds me a bit of Keep It Casual.

Oh well.   Can't always guess right.

You took the words right out of my mouth!

Peachy!

I just read T's reviews.. seems she is comparing MAC to TFord.. err, there is about a $ 30 difference.. and that makes for a lot of very good pigments to NOT get put in.. as well as other goodies which help with application and such.

I think she is pod that she had to buy here stash this time.. lol

Very nice!   

MA and Center of The Universe look quite close in your swatches. 

Maybe like how ED Sweet Heat and Superb were close?  Hmmmmm....

I just got mine like 5 seconds ago & its really beautiful! Its NOT glittery, but it is glowy, I'm getiing ready to go out so I'll wear it & after I get my face on I'll let you know how it does with my pores(I am normally very sensitive to things that make my pores look bigger so I don't buy MSFs anymore)

Thank you!  I hope it works out because it's such a gorgeous colour.  It'd be my first MB and as I *have* to buy online as there isn't a local store I really need to make sure it'll be worth it.  Fingers crossed! :)

^ glowy is the word.

Well I got back early but the sun gave out on me right when I went out to take pics   I hope these are at least somewhat useful.

Water mes

Bright Moon

In this next pic the first three swatches are BM dry, wet and wet over a black base.  The next three are Water dry, wet, then wet over a black base.  The next one is Water wet again and the last one is Clarity mes wet for comparision.

I only did BM over black b/c I knew I would do Water over it but BM doesn't have the sparkle that Water does.  Using BM wet makes it lighter and brinks out a little bit of twinkle.  Water is similar to Clarity but Clarity is more grey whereas Water has a dirty green base.  Water has the same kind of opalescent sparkle that Clarity has, except it's finer so it's not as in your face.  Water was a little gritty but I didn't notice sparkle going everywhere, like with Young Punk or something.  Sorry my pics are wonky.

I love Allura's photo: Stay Tuned: MAC Heavenly Creature Collection! | Allura

Thank you!!!   And thanks for the comparision swatches to Clarity!

OK, maybe I need this after all... Elegant, how does it compare to some of the other reds in your collection? Surely I don't need another red lipstick... I noticed T said it was close to Guerlain's Grenade, although the finish is different.

OK, its on! Its definitely glowy, not shimmery or glittery. In fact the only shimmer/glitter on my face is from fall out of my eyeshadow, lol. Its a really pretty color. Because I am overly critical I do think it makes my pores look a little larger than usual, but its not to the point that I won't wear this again or that it is any issue, its very smooth & pretty. I am not usually one to enable, but I say get it! I think you'll like it

the eyes are center of the universe msf, supernova blush and star wonder msf and the pale pink from light year

 cheeks is star wonder over solar ray

lips is galaxy rose cremesheen over fire sign l/s

That's hysterical!  Would this be considered swirl-envy?

Earthly is nothing like I thought it would be, it's grey with a satin finish and tiny gold sparkles. It can look dirty, so I'm not sure yet how I will wear it. But it's pretty and unique! I have nothing like that in my collection.
