MAC Heavenly creature discussion - Page 177

Heyy!! New here :) I decided to join because I've been reading for soo long and I need somewhere to talk more about makeup!! From this collection I got

Center of the Universe msf- sooo in love with this!! Since I'm a lover of orange & all it only seemed right

Earthshine msf- Haven't tried this one on yet but I'm sure I'll love it... I went for one with a nice burgundy swirl

Magnetic Attraction mes- Beyond beautiful in the pan. My mom uses it and she loves it! It also seemed to have the nicest pigmentation but I'm not positive!

Aurora mes- Gorgeous in the pan, almost makes just looking at it worth the $20! On the eyes its a nice neutral brown for the crease

Invincible Light mes- This eyeshadow in the pan alone inspired me so much! I couldn't stop thinking about a baby icy lavender on the lid and a nice warm gold in the crease with winged liner, I had to have it!

Venus l/s- I don't have anything like this, and my curiosity got the best of me! I love it :)

Cut A Caper l/s- The collector in me needed this one, but after seeing it on the MA's lips I knew it was a gorgeous everyday peachy pink.

Fire Sign l/s- Didn't expect to like this one as much as I did but ooooooh I love it! Sheer almost juicy berry red! Can't wait to rock this in the Fall :D

That's it for now! But of course I am eager to get back-ups, I'm trying to resist though!

Thanks :)
The MA tried Star Wonder on me and I liked it, but it didn't seem to special at the time! I am having second thoughts though.... and I didn't try Light Year yet but I may have to! Haha. Ring of Saturn was actually the blush I took the most interest in but never tried it.... I wasn't expecting to like this collection as much as I do! Earthly eyeshadow is beautiful, I agree!

 This collection is really drawing people in. I definitely think MAC did something right with this one.

Edited b/c of stupid typo which involved me missing of of the f's in off. Lol!!!

I load the brush with eyeshadow as I normally would, then spray no more than 1-2 times.  I keep the sprayer about 6" from the brush.  I typically use a setting spray like Skindinavia or Model in a Bottle, but water works, too.

So, what is everyones favorites from this collection?

Looooove Light Year, Center of the Universe and Ring of Saturn! I've been wearing those non-stop! Oh, and Meteoric is getting some mileage, too! It looks fab on top of Flamingo and Razzledazzler!

Oh, cool thank you. I might order the small bottle of Fix+ when I get my MES's. It's good to know that there are more than one way to do this with the MES's.

I love all of mine but I haven't really worn anything yet as I'm waiting for my Supernova and want to take a pic of them all together in their pristine swirliness. Lol, I know that's crazy and it's driving me nuts lol.

Oh, btw spell check tried to change swirliness to surliness lolol.

Of the MSFs Starwonder is handsdown the winner for me

Of the blushes, Ring of Saturn (the sheen is just so gorgeous), though supernova and stratus are very close behind.

Of the eyeshadows, when I swatched them, I only liked Magnetic Attraction enough to buy. But I'm really considering Sky. That blue with the greenish gold sparkle is amazing... but I know I probably won't wear it much.

I didn't try all the lip colors, because the only two that interested me in the pre-release images and revews were Venus (which I bought, and love, but I have to admit it, it isn't terribly unique) and Meteoric (which I didn't buy, but still thought it was quite pretty).

I love seeing all of the different Earthshine swirls - they seem to me to be some of the most distinct in the collection.  I want more!

This  collection is awesome , I regret not having more money for it right now but I enjoy your hauls a lot!

....OMG.....PRETTY Icecaramellatte!!!

....can not stop looking at the pics!!!Especially the last two pics are so stunning!

You got an awesome Earthshine

And your Sky is perfect too!

I was unsure of my phone camera settings and I was wondering which pic looks better?  Thoughts?

Is everybody done with HC?

I'm done in the sense of not buying any more, but I have hardly tested or used anything, so I'm not at all done yet. :)

I think the last few releases of mes are so good they are like pigments but in a more convenient form. Neo nebula defo reminds me of a pigment.....I think it might be mauvement but I am not sure...I will have to check my stash

Yes plz!

I missed Mauvement because I had an attitude problem back then. I wouldn't spend $20 on an eyeshadow. But.....that thinking had to change. I even bought 2 Aurora pigment and didn't think twice about it.

Woohoo, I'm getting Stratus  I'm swapping my Innocence Beware BU for it.

They all look great!  Your CotU, NN, and MA are awesome!  You picked out some nice swirlies there darlin!  Let me know how you like Aurora.  I got that one too and haven't tried it yet!

I really like Aurora. I'm not that much into neutrals and browns, but this one has a really nice sheen. I didn't have anything like it. It worked really well in the crease when I used a matte brown on top in the outer part of the crease to deepen it. I think it will also be great on the lid, because of the nice sheen. Then blend out with a soft matte brown in the crease and use a darker matte brown in the outer part of the crease.

I can't stop thinking about ordering more, this collection is awesome!

......that is great Naynadine!!!!
