MAC - Surf Baby Discussion

Hmmm i wonder how Naturally Eccentric lipsticks compares to Innocence Beware from VV?? The description says white creamy nude but based on the pics, it looks a bit more pink based. If it is, its mine!!!

So far all i'm getting is the blush (OMG $32 Canadian!!??) and Good Lovin' lipgloss.

Does anybody know if this is a regular sized blush or the jumbo ones like Marine Life or Ripe Peach? I'm assuming large especially due to the price tag!

So much for $50 price tag on the Naturally Eccentric lipstick for sale on ebay

I like the colour discription of the Studio Careblend Pressed Powder in Lush-Light Bronze. I wonder if it'll work as a good bronzer or contour for us pale faces.

I'm wondering the same thing. Looking forward to some swatches!

@Shontay- I know I need the blue pigment stack! If I can only get one thing, that will be it! And I think you should wait for swatches of Bust Out and skip Good Lovin. I'm even on the fence about Good Lovin. It looks like it could be easily duped, TBH.

I actually like the contrast of orange with bright pink, personally. As far as reds are concerned, I think you could definitely pull off cooler reds- maybe not ones that are browner or warm, but definitely ones that are more blue or pink.

Thanks for the photo links Sophia!! I'm definitely grabbing HIbiscus and the yellow eye shadow. Other shadows will have to wait until I can see swatches (especially compared to the Fashion Flower ones). I can't tell if Bust Out will be a unique purple or not. It looks a lot like the same type of creamy pink-purple that Mac has been releasing lately. Don't think I need another of those, although I always go weak in the knees for a purple lipstick. That blush is still nagging at me. It just looks so darn pretty and I know it's going to sell out before I can take the time to think about it.

Thanks sweetie! You've never steered me wrong on colors. I think I'll try to get it!

No way! I'm sure that bright colours would look gorgeous on you!

 

[katred]

So far, this is what I have by way of a list. I'm purposely not allowing myself to give into the stacked pigments...

Bust Out
Hibiscus
My Paradise
Short Shorts
Sun Blonde
Krazy Kahuna

Obviously, this is pending more swatches, but I'm certain that I'd rather save for Semi-Precious than spend more on this collection. Those colours look like something really unique.

 

[Prettypackages]

sigh, so do I... damn.... the only thing that I'm going to save money on is Strange Potion b/c I already have it. LOL

 

[BeckyBenett]

But but... there's no such thing!!

hah ure so cute!



my new list:
Hibiscus l/s
Naturally Eccentric l/s
Girl on Board l/g
Strange Potion l/g
Good Lovin l/g

hmm.. im gg through my lippie phase again..

 

[Tatyiona]

sorry if this has already been asked but isn't this a 2 part collection? Which items will be in each part?

 

[Prettypackages]

have the careblend powders broke you out previously? I'm afraid the shea butter in them is scaring me.

I think I'm still doing OK.

 

[dxgirly]

Damn! I just realized that this collection comes out the same week (and pay period) as my sister's wedding. I have to buy drinks, a hotel room, and a present for them. I think I'm going to have to hack all of the eye products off my immediate list and just get My Paradise and Hibiscus.


Maybe I'll get lucky and most things won't be sold out when I get paid again a few days later?

[/quote] I haven't tried them. I went to a counter Sunday and swatched them but I didn't buy. I just can't take a chance because mac foundations have wrecked my skin the past. I'm weary of using anything from them on my face beyond blush.

i shall be getting the blush, hibiscus and the tealy pigment stack. possibly another lipstick but we shall see what my funds are like when i get paid this month!

Hmmm, that review says that the Naked and Melon pigments are what's replacing the blush sticks everyone's been wondering about.
