MAC Hey, Sailor! (Summer 2012) Discussion

[duckrodeo]

[COLOR=EE82EE]Whoop Whoop! lol I've put countless of gals from Specktra on game about Crystal Soda. hehe!  I hope you find some NYX lip liners soon ! I promise they're great and are just as good as MAC's.[/COLOR]

I might have to resort to online shopping for my NYX fix. Ulta didn't have nearly the selection Cherry Culture does. I also got Pink Rose lipgloss. Really digging that one so far, too! I'll post pics in a little bit testing the Smokey Eye With Salute Theory

Yea, Cherry Culture is your best bet for NYX products because they sell EVERYTHING NYX offers. lol

 

[duckrodeo]

Ahh good. Every time I try to shop on there I'm always overwhelmed by the choices there are haha. Eventually I will place an order with some good NYX goodies!

I made an attempt at a smokey eye, which I probably could have added more "smoke" lol, but you get the idea with the eyeliner.
I used some bronzer, too as per Liba's suggestion blended with some Launch Away blush.

I'm really happy with how it turned out! I think it made Salute a little more wearable for me.

Duckrodeo, I actually really like the look you made. I have Salute! too and will have to try something similar. I think it would look really nice in fall actually. As for NYX, ya it's a pain when they are opened and swatched. Yes, it really angers me when people do that. I have noticed that some of the stuff is sealed now. I have some of the lip liners and eye liners. I need to try out my slide on eyeliners. I also have some of the lippies which are usually sealed for the most part. If you find a really good lip liner from NYX please post it in the thread.

I went to Ulta today to check out the NYX lip liners and they were all opened up and the tips were broken off animals! lol. Anyway, still on the hunt for what might work with Salute, but I did pick up Crystal Soda lip gloss!

Ohh and Revlon makes a clear sparkly lipgloss, it's one of their new shades. I thought it might be close to Cut Loose, but it doesn't have the same milkiness that CL does. I think it's worth checking out though! It's a gorgeous gloss to use for layering

I ordered Orange Tempura. I finished my first Fresh Air lipglass and didn't want to open my BU quite yet, so I'll probably switch it out for OT. Maybe it'll work with Salute!

The NYX stuff at my Ulta is like that too :/. I hope they start sealing their glosses some day because I want to try them, but it's SO hard to tell if they've been messed with.

Very nice Duckrodes, what colors did you use on the eyes?

 

[duckrodeo]

Thank you so much ladies! It was definitely a fun experiment and I appreciate all the feedback! It helped inspire me to keep working to find a way to make Salute wearable as a complete look. It's definitely not an Every Day face, but a fun adventure in make-up for sure! Now I don't have to be so afraid of Salute

For the eyes I used Nubile p/p as a base, Bisque all over the lid, and Charcoal Brown in the crease. Hocus Pocus is the "smokey" part and Jaunty was blended on the lid. Creamy Bisque was my highlighter. I used Blitz & Glitz fluidline for liner and blended out with Urban Decay's matte black from the Naked 2 palette (I think it's Blackout). For mascara I used two coats of Tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes and a top coat of Urban Decay's Supercurl mascara.

Pink Rose is gorgeous!!! And the smokey eye with Salute! l/s is stunning!!

Everything in this collection is gorgeous!

Ive always used the Refined gold bronzer, its amazing!

But definitely getting the orange lipstick!



The collection was a success i got the pleasure of working at a local Nordstrom for the launch!
UH-MAZING!

Look what we did - or look what YOU did???

What do you think of Deep Throat and Lustre? I tried Lustre but I found it too shimmery for me. I'm most interested in Gilda but they don't have it at Sephora. Might have to wait until my next US trip; I'd want to try it on me.

You can order it online from the Canadian web site. You can actually find a lot of stuff there that can be hit-or-miss anywhere else.

BEEmakeup - I picked up Hover lip pencil due to your suggestion. I tried to get Have to Have it but it was out of stock. The MA suggested Nice N Spicy as a replacement. I also picked up orange tempera. I forgot all about the white lipgloss. I should have picked it up. When I had a Chanel makeover the SA put a pink lipstick on me with a white gloss in the center and I loved it. I didn't want to get the Chanel one so the Mac would have been nice. Oh well, I will have to make another trip.

Have to Have It and Cut Loose (the white lipglass) are still available on the website. How are you liking Hover?

So far, HS is my favorite collection of 2012 (next to TC, but as it was "just" blushes, I don't count TC as a full collection).

Anyways, I'm always loving the big summer collections.

Very sexy! Classy vixen look!
