MAC All About Orange Collection (June 2013)

[Paisly]

Because of you I just purchased Sweet and Sour from Macy's! You convinced me with all the pale girl talk haha.

Glad I could help! It may pull less pink on you, though! I have pigmented lips. Everything pulls more pink. Even if it pulled more peachy pink... it HAS to look amazing with your skin coloring!

Well, turned out that AAO released online in The Netherlands today. I already have Flamingo, Neon Orange and Immortal Flower so I could skip those. I ordered Sweet and Sour, Tarte and Trendy, Razzledazzler and Royal Sunset. I was in doubt whether or not I should get Sushi Kiss, but since I rarely wear Reel Sexy and Betty Bright, I thought I would be fine skipping it. Minutes after I placed my order Razzledazzler and Sushi Kiss were sold out. I hope I don't regret skipping SK. Surely PDF will upload some pics so I'll know what I have missed out on.

Still in doubt about Honey Jasmin. Fresh Honey doesn't look that good on me and since Liba compared the two I thought I would be fine skipping it. Immortal Flower shows no pinkness whatsoever on me. Colours like Modern Mandarin look great on me but I am doubting whether or not HJ would be good for me or to just get NARS' rotonde instead.

.......MAC forces you to big hauls

Yes, this might really be a sign

Sounds like, "are you sure you want to delete this message." Then you second guess yourself---erhhh no, I might
need it later. So this is happening with online shopping now? I'll try this one on the hubster for the next collection.

I'm w/you PeachTwist---as soon as I place an order I update my document and put the items in a certain color text---when the products arrive I change
the text to black. That's how I keep up with what I've ordered and what I've received. The colored text really stands out and I don't have to search for
it. When my items arrive I make labels and store them in their new home. I also color code items that are getting low, like foundation/concealer. I
check the status of those items whenever I'm placing an order so that I don't find the item completely depleted at the worse possible time.

Ahh I'm glad I'm not alone! I hadn't thought of the certain colour text -- that's genius -- I'll have to start doing it.

There's a few on my Excel spreadsheet I need to go through because I purchased I think about 15 eye shadows from someone on here in Aus and they never arrived and I don't think I've bought them all again since -- I know I'm missing at least 2, but I'll have to go through them.

I love your idea of colour coding everything. I just bought 2 new foundations (3 if you count a BU I'm running out of) and about 3 or 4 concealers so I know I'm alright in that department for a while. I also just bought a new primer (Becca ever-matte) as my Cover FX one was getting low, but other than that I don't think I've ever run out of anything. My first MAC purchase was Vanilla e/s and that was 3yrs ago -- I use it every time I wear make-up for my brow highlight and there isn't even a dip. I think I'm good in that department, lol!

 

[PeachTwist]

im the same way haha i can look at pics on instagram and tell the lipstick theyre wearing, and on my palettes i dont have to turn the e/s around i already know which on it is.

It's funny you say that -- I bought a 15 pan palette full of shadows from someone on here and I struggle to remember those shadow names but all the ones in the pots I can tell you instantly, lol.

 

[PeachTwist]

What a nice surprise

Enjoy, PeachTwist!

Thank you!

what did you get?

 

[elegant-one]

I, too, was worried about HJ! I like it more than RS! Did you get RS as well? Gosh! You ladies know how to make a girl blush. lol

I did get RS, but haven't received it yet. I think its supposed to be here today. You look fabulous in every color.

 

[KissMyLips]

what did you get?

i purchased flamingo..always thought it was nice from swatches and finally it was being released again so i knew i had to get it. i also got sushi kiss..i hope they look nice on me as they did on all of u lovely ladies who took photos wearing them

 

[CiaoBellaa]

I have a slightly strange question but I'm wondering if I'm the only person that gets annoyed by this...do you ever find that some of your MAC lipsticks are looser when you twist them up? Like they twist up almost effortlessly, and others can be tougher to twist up? Am I the only one who hates when a lipstick twists up too loosely? GAH! My favorite lipstick of my order (sweet and sour) has this problem and it makes me so anxious that now I kind of want to get a BU to replace it just in case. I know that's irrational though, and that it's probably not going to break. Am I alone with this problem?

 

[lkillie]

LOL! Of course It's amazing. I hate regretting not getting a BU of something that you absolutely LOVE. HJ to me, is a better version of IF. Sweet and sour... that one calls for the BU lol
Glad I could help! It may pull less pink on you, though! I have pigmented lips. Everything pulls more pink. Even if it pulled more peachy pink... it HAS to look amazing with your skin coloring!

My lips are pretty pigmented too! So much so that I'm finding Razzledazzler and Flamingo are essentially NOT showing up on my lips

Beautiful!i hope sweet and sour looks as good on me as it does on you!

Yes, this is exactly why I don't really like Flamingo.

For you, most definitely! In fact, I think you might need to get multiple BUs, it's so lovely on you! As for me, it's the only thing in the collection that I was debating whether or not to get and ended up passing on, hoping not to have skipper's remorse. Not so sure how that's going to work out anymore...
