MAC A Fantasy of Flowers Collection (February 6, 2014)

[Honi]

Ive gotten Golden Hours, I like the colors but it seems quite dry. Ill see if using a damp brush makes it better.

Omg! I just realized what snapdragon means! They are my favorite summer flowers! As an indoor gardner I go by the latin names and rarely pay attention to common names in other languages. That's it! I can't wait until March any more!!!

Here are some of my lip swatches. Snapdragon

Naked Bud

Fleur d'coral

I don't like them. It seems like it took a million swipes just for them to show up on my lips. I'm so disappointed in this collection. I hope I love my HH when it comes on Thursday.

I didnt like them on me cause they all looked the same and boring

Snapdragon

Heavenly Hybrid

The pictures dont even do Snapdragon and H.Hybrid justice. They are awesome! I have no complaints about how it looks on me it shows up really well.

Do anybody else feel like sd looks a little frosty?

I thought the same thing when I opened mine up last night. I haven't swatched it yet because I'm thinking of sending it back My mom is nc42 maybe I should give it to her, she likes frosty stuff.

It'll probably act a little more like a highlighter for you, but you should be able to get the color to show up with the right brush and/or with layering it. Worst case scenario - spritz your brush with Fix+ after you've picked up product on it, then go to town. Can you check it out in person at a store?

Thanks, liba! I won't be able to check it out in person this week, so I'm crossing my fingers that it will work for me (if not as a blush then a highlighter).

Thanks for the moral support

I shall back up, and also add Fleur DC.

Ladies, some more beautiful comparison swatches on this site which sold me on Fleur DC..

Yeah, I think I need Fleur d'Coral. I LOOOVE Sweet & Sour so this one will be an easier to wear version of it, just like Liba said!

So what I still need to get are FdC, Sassy Moss, &Phlox Garden!

Please update us, of all the MES, that one is the most tempting to me.

Re: the blushes, I think I will skip, I have the Temptalia dupes Stunner and Blonde for AitA and I have Fleet Fast, applied with a light hand could dupe PP I think.

W/R/T the lippies, I am most tempted by Rose Lily and Dreaming Dahlia. But, I have Ever Hip, Sushi Kiss, VG Cindi and don't feel I need DD and I have Raspberry Swirl so I feel that the RL is a skip too. Oh well, more for you ladies.

I actually how PT looks on my skin. It gives it a nice sheen and glow, as if I'm lit from within.

Very very lovely on you!

I don't there is anything quite like Petal Power. Orgasm may be a timid version. PP has this beautiful dimensional color to it. Its very very lovely on. Makes the skin look soft yet sexy, healthy & a bit glowing. Its very pigmented & buildable

I already knew i was skipping the lipsticks. But now the face products are calling to me, drat!

That new Stereo Rose even looks wearable - previously it was too dark/bright (i already own Perfect Topping). And the 2 blushes look tempting as well. Darn! Good thing I just photographed all my blushes, highlighters, and bronzers - some going back to the late 1960s and early 70s. So i'm going to try to resist.

This SR looks a lot more wearable; I don't need another highlighter, but I wish I'd bought it from this collection instead of the 2012 version (that I just swapped away).

It looks gorgeous, but I didn't like Orgasm on me (it wasn't flattering on my enlarged pores). I'm sure this will be beautiful on someone with finer skin that I have though. Very pretty.
