MAC - Surf Baby Discussion

[honybr]

I agree!! My saffron from Surf Baby must be wet to work

Dangit! That's irritating MAC! If something is repromoted use the same quality as the original. This collection is loosing its spark for me quickly.

Karen on Make Up Beauty Blog said that the Saffron from this collection is different than the one from Mickey Contractor. It's supposedly hard and sheer.

I might have to swatch this in store instead of purchasing online...

I respecfully disagree. Or I haven't tried the one from Mickey Contractor because it didn't launch here, but it's definitely not sheer. No way!

Temptalia also said it had great pigmentation and now you've said that it's not sheer as well i'm not afraid anymore to be dissapointed when it will launch
Can't wait to buy the shadows from this collection and Hibiscus! I said a page back that i wanted both polishes, but i simply don't have money for them right now. I'm just going to hope they won't sell out really quick.

So far, only My Paradise appears to be sold out on the UK site.

I wore Hibiscus to my dance class today, and it looked great and held up well, It's not nearly as bright as I thought it might be, which is a good thing in my book.

Crap i looked at this blog http://the-swatchaholic.com/?p=3408 and now i want both polishes! I thought Ocean Dip would look more like Mermaid's Tears from OPI but it's a lot brighter. And Hangin' Loose does look like the perfect Nude polish for me. I'm the same skintone as her. This is bad for my wallet

thank u for sharing this amazing blog! followed =]

MAC actually responded to my wall post from yesterday, and this is what they have to say: "Hi Gretchen-Though we don’t have an exact date to share, Surf Baby is expected to launch online around the end of this month. We’ll be sure to let our loyal Facebook fans know. Stay tuned!"

No. Shit. Ugh...

I love my new little Saffron beauty. It's well pigmented and easy to work with!

Also, I'm surprised Karen had anything negative to say about a MAC product after writing that Flighty fluff-piece recently.

I usually put more stock in Karen's words than her pictures, because I find her swatches weak for various reason. I'm the other way with Temptalia sometimes because her pictures are outstanding, but I find her opinions to be different from mine. What always stands out is her review of the Tartan Tale palettes. She hated them and said they lacked pigment, but I find them to be outstanding(the 2 that I have). In this case, I'm going with Temptalia because her swatch of Saffron not only tells me that it's pigmented as hell, but it's the same Saffron. Temptalia is always the first to scream about lack of pigmentation, so when she says something is pigmented, I am inclined to believe it.

But I can tell something else, that the staying power of the nailpolishes is the old bad standard of MAC according to my co-blogger who has worn Ocean Dip the last couple of days. The Quite Cute polishes where better, but these are the regular MAC (IMO poor) quality. Which in this case means that they chip easily.

I felt the same way about Tartan Tale. I love my Tartan Tale palette. I very rarely agree with temptalia although I enjoy her swatches.

Someone responded to my wall post and said that it's launching next week. That's better, but I wanted a specific day. I guess that'll have to do.

So it'll probably launch next week?

I have some swatches on my blog. Also a heads up - surf baby powder is quite orange and not peach in my opinion

thanks! yeah it seems orangey to me too in most pictures i have seen. at least for my skin tone!
