MAC Temperature Rising Collection (May 2013)

[Audrey C]

Temptalia doesn't sound particularly impressed by BMS to me..or am i reading it wrong?

She gave it an A- and said it was one of the last few year's better quads. I didn't read it as negative at all. She mentioned that the green shade wasn't as buttery as the others, but anyone who follows her knows that she values that in e/s (regardless of brand). The quad is stupidly expensive in Canada but her review clinched it for me - I'm getting it.

Caliente is really that gritty? I'm so torn now! The color is beautiful, but gritty lip products and I don't mix well.

My MAC connection was kind enough to let me drag the lipstick across the softness of my inner forearm - and I have to say it wasn't all that tragic.
In fact, I was so taken by its brilliant similarity to MAC's To The Beach's Funbathing that I just about needed to be sedated!

Its finish is just SMOULDERINGLY HOT! Burning embers prettiness and shimmering lights! Honestly, it would have had to feel like raining ninja stars

for me to be even remotely dissuaded! Oh! And how it makes your pearly whites gleam blindingly white! Seriously," GO SMilie "(teeth whitening company) should get in on the action- It could make for an insane cross over marketing campaign!

Good thing Caliente never came off my list then

It didn't strike me as negative either. There's the usual cattiness BTL, but there's nothing in her review to fuel it.

I almost never read the comments - just the reviews. I value the pics, swatches and dupe list but am not particularly interested in scrolling through comments in anyone's site. Drama gets on my nerves so what I don't see doesn't irritate me.

I'm exactly like that IRL - If there's the slightest sign of drama, I'm out of there.

It's a bit different on teh interwebs. I sometimes skip articles entirely and dive straight into the comments (Guardian CIF *cough*). The sight of people frothing at the mouth trying to bite chunks of eachother (or ganging up to bite chunks of what/whoever it is they have a bone to pick with) is quite entertaining. Perversely so, even. A bit like passers-by gawking at a car crash, not being able to peel away they gaze. If it gets a bit too much there's always the little x button on the top right hand corner

My new list:

FMP lippy (I was gonna skip, but its purple and its a Cremesheen

)
Caliente lippy

Underdressed lipglass
Rhythm lipglass

RFL blush

MAYBE List
Serenade lipglass
Sheer Seduction (if it isn't too sheer)
Rich Glance pencil (I am still torn on these, wish they could be used in the waterline)
Polished Jet pencil

skipping the quads and hoping to get them later at the CCO. I cannot get over the $4 price hike when I know they are dupeable. They are gorgeous though and I love the packaging. I will have to resist here.

T has RFL review up

 

[Anneri]

I wish she or Beautezine would do the shadow sticks next!

Which ones are you after?

They are a definite skip for me because I loathe fat pencils with a vengeance but the colours are lovely.

 

[Anneri]

Rich Glance and Copper Strip.

My experience with fatties from other brands has been less than stellar, so I'd really appreciate some opinions on those from people who actually tested them. Don't want to shell out 20€ for something I could only use as a liner, after all.

Maybe I just should get Eclair and have done with it.

 

[Anneri]

Btw, when you have a look at T's pics from her post about RFL, you see that she wears Hot Nights on her other cheek and Sheer Seduction on her lips.

Thank you so much for the swatches!

I like When in Rio better than Club....WIR is gorgeous

[Rinstar]

I want the quad RIGHT NOW. Gorgeous!

 

[iqaganda]

Temptalia's starting the reviews!! OMG! I can't wait to read the lipstick / lipglass reviews!! (So excited to see Feel The Pulse!)

 

[Corally]

I really didn't expect T's reviews so soon, they're just in time for us Dutchies!

I never pegged SR as a possible dupe for RFL. I have SR, so now I have to rethink RFL.
