MAC Temperature Rising Collection (May 2013)

[Seven Of Nine]

You are making me want Caliente!

Must resist...

Believe me, Caliente is beautiful and well worth a purchase

I didn't get Caliente....maybe Thursday in store

 

[CartoonChic]

Sheer Seduction is up at Nordstrom. I didn't plan to get it, but ordered it anyway along with both quads. So much for waiting for double points to get the quads. I decided I'll get a much better deal with the 14% Ebates cash back.

Lipstick

• Feel My Pulse x2
• Caliente
• Sheer Seduction

Eye Shadow

• Bare My Soul Quad
• Temperature Rising Quad

When I got home a bit ago, FMP was waiting for me! I'll wait until tomorrow to try it on though, I'll be eating dinner shortly. No point in wasting product!

I was just thinking,"why don't I get my Mac from Nordies and Bloomies to get points?" Then I remembered it is because I just can't wait for anything.

Debbs - are you talking to me. I can't remember VG VI for some reason. I may have it but I know a lot of my labels have fallen off. I checked swatches and I don't think it is the same. Soft Serenade has virtually no color. It is just sparkly. I didn't mind because I wear sheer shades all the time but I know some wouldn't like it. I don't think it is a must have. But I do think I will wear it a lot. I buy and wear glosses the most. I have been forcing myself to wear lipstick lately.



Yes. It is.


I have a tall Alex too for nail polish and it is getting full. Good to know I'm not alone.

I know the feeling very well.

I did get quite a few things from this collection. I would have to say what I am least impressed by the the BMS quad. I know some of you out there are gasping, but it just doesn't excite me at all. I really don't get all the hype. I also have the TR quad to try. I hope I will like that one better. I usually do really well with purple shadows, since I have hazel eyes. But there is just something very unremarkable about the BMS quad. I might give it one more try. If I still feel the same way, I will have no problem selling it to someone that is not able to find it. I'll let you know. ...

When I swatched BMS I wasn't at all impressed by the quality, either. Still, when I see the looks other posters are getting using BMS, I wonder if I wasn't too harsh in my judgement.
And I'm still dithering about the Golden Elixir.

I wore Temperature Rising quad today. Temperature Rising all over lid, Swelter in the crease, Beauty Marked in the outer V. UD Perversion on upper liner, Raven liner on lower lashline and Chanel Prune d'or mascara. Hot Nights blush and Rhythm lipglass. I love the color of Temperature Rising the most. It is a lustre. I actually like lustre eyeshadows. I know I'm in the minority here but this one doesn't act like a typical lustre. The only problem is that for some reason it would not go on part of my left eye. It went on easily on the right. I thought maybe it had something to do with how I applied Nubile as a base first on my left eye. So I used a Mac wipe to take it off and applied it again. Same problem so I just wet the brush after picking up product and patted it on and it worked fine. I'm hoping this is a fluke.

Spotted the Strobe Liquid Lotion in Seventeen magazine. I kind of want it but I'm not sure how it'll work with my NC40 skin. Looks nice though!

 

[Debbs]

Thks Icecaramellate, I really appreciate your inpt. I just may sub SS as I saw your post about the Chanel Mascara special (I owned a Chanel gloss about a year ago, that was the extent of my indulgence). I am interested in the Le Volume in black. I just don't need three!!! That's my dilemma

 

[LouGarner]

I got my box today. it is so hot that all my lippies looked like they were sweating. Gotta this Texas heat

Erine recommended it for darker/deeper skin tones can't remember if she said nc40 or 42 and above, and I recently saw a post of someone that was nc35 and was loving it...

I apologize if this has been asked already. Has anyone compared the quality of UD eyeshadow pencils with the fatties in this collection. I have a bunch from UD and don't know if I "need" these as well.

I can get a little impatient myself.

I couldn't even wait a few hours for Nordies to stock Sheer Seduction and Golden Elixir and get my points. I ordered from Macy's instead.

I know the feeling, I was gonna wait for wed to go to my mac store and get "underdressed" right when they opened but I couldn't wait, I got it from nordies now Ill wait even longer lol

Hmm I may just check it out on Thursday! Thanks! If anyone who is NC40 tried Golden Elixir, please give feedback on it. I would love that!

I'm in love with tropical NP

Looks good on you Brittbby. I tried to resist but I ordered both NPs from TR

Yes, I agree 3 mascaras are a bit much. I don't know if I need 3 either but on the other hand, I have been wearing it everyday since I bought it.

:haha: [COLOR=0000FF]I'm maxing out of space too---time to slow down but my efforts have been futile.  I also have a large number of untrieds/never-worns but I'm working ferverishly to correct that by doing a polish change every three days.[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]Looks good on you Brittbby.  I tried to resist but I ordered both NPs from TR:shock: [/COLOR]

Not going to lie, probably going to pop in Thursday to MAC and get backups of FMP and sheer seduction and will probably get the purple NP. I tried to resist but temptalia's photos get me every time lol!!

PM me if you want. Maybe we can buddy up or I can send you my back up Brazenly or whatever we can arrange.
