MAC Temperature Rising Collection (May 2013)

I quickly stopped in my local MAC freestanding store today to look at this collection and the display was putrid. I swatched Hot Nights blush and tried to swatch Rich Glance pencil but it needed sharpening so bad it just scratched the back of my hand. Ugh. No lipsticks OR glosses were on the display. I didn't really expect much of anything to be left after being out for a week but you just never know so hey, what the heck, let's take a look see. I think the bronzers and the brush was there but I just got the hell out of there. Didn't feel much like going to the other end of the mall into the Dillard's MAC either so I just went into Sephora and sniffed and swatched in there for a little while. LOL.
You already got things from the collection, though, didn't you???

I only got and wanted the Ripe For Love blush. I got it in the mail today. I just went in the store out of curiosity to see how some things looked in person. Likely wasn't going to buy anything. That's why it wasn't all that important that I go to the other MAC at Dillard's because I knew I didn't really want anything. I hadn't planned on getting RFL but I didn't have any blushes in that shade range so I went for it. Oh and the 2 quads were on the display too. I forgot about those.

The glow of RFL is really stunning!!!
Sorry if the quality isn't the best but I wanted to share my RFL glow :) I'm wearing only RFL and Soft Serenade. On my eyes is one of those new covergirl eyeshadow pencils 'flamed out' I think they're called. It's hot and I'm ready for a nap so I just snapped a pic with my phone lol

Wow, that's some self-control.

I thought the lipsticks and glosses were mostly awesome this time around, and I usually am not too into the non-Mineralize summer collection.

I went to town on this collection more than I would have ever expected:

Caliente, Sheer Seduction, Feel My Pulse (but I love the Dazzle finish and haven't bought most of the purply lipsticks this year)

Rhythm, Underdressed and Soft Serenade x 2 (I've been waiting for more of this type of sparkly gloss since To the Beach)

Both blushes (and I thought I wasn't going to get either - they're colors we've seen from MAC before, but seriously the nicest versions of them in a long time)

Both polishes (too damn cute to resist and will work well into fall and holiday)

Palest and darkest eye pencil (they really do not budge at all - hope they offer some colored ones in the future)

Temperature Rising quad (this was another one that I wouldn't have thought to buy, but the colors are absolutely perfect with the deeper skin tone around my eyes)

Golden Elixir (I was on the fence at first, but I really am enjoying it added to moisturizer on my shoulders and arms and am just going to push myself to use it on my face until it's a natural part of my routine)

PHEW!!! Fortunately I'm not buying any RiRi until I can see it in person and most of this year's Mineralize is not grabbing me, for a change.

That's a really nice haul liba! I've thought about getting the lightest pencil but I just haven't felt 'pushed' to get it. The Golden Elixir wasn't on the display. The other oil was but not the Golden Elixir. Enjoy your goodies!

I was disappointed in the BMS quad at first but now I am so glad I got it. I tried TiffanyD's tutorial with it as a smoky eye and it is gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Even on my super pale skin it works.

How is it over there? Yeah finally we got some warm weather here, but it's too warm because my SS,flamingo and sk are melting.

Thank you Medgal07 :)

You are on a serious mission....I ain't mad. Get your goods girl :)
Thank you MACina

Yes, I was saying the same thing. I loved Easy Lounger from TTB. Soft Serenade kinda reminds me of it a little with the sheer color and sparkle.

Thank you NikiNatasha

I think it's one of those rare shades where anyone can wear it some kind of way and not go wrong.
Yup I agree!
