MAC Hey, Sailor! (Summer 2012) Discussion

[Spanky]

Hey Pinkdollface...I'm cutting in on u

Now I'm cutting in too....  Heehee But I LOVE Vera FF!  It's such an uncomplicated multi-purpose product for me.  The main color works as a blush for me, the outer rim as a highlighter, and swirled together... an allover glowy-sheen!  haven't used my Crew yet to see how it works.  But Vera FF is a product I grab ALL THE TIME!  I also take it with me everytime I travel for the multi-tasking benefits! You won't be disappointed if you get it!

Ooh! Thanks for letting me know Pixie! I'm going to try & hunt this down now. Also, I dug ur picture with SLV. I'm quite a few shades fairer than u but I'm really hoping that SLV works for me b/c I didn't like the way Vegas Volt looked on me. I don't have any oranges in my stash. I'm also hoping that TCAS works for me *fingers crossed* & we all now I'm jonesing over the damn RR. & now must get Vera...going to look now! I hope I'm able to make it to the store on Thurs. I swear I'll have to get a personal shopper if I'm out of commission to pick up my stuff. Have a good one!

In other news, I just swatched RR and added it to my pre sale order. The only red lippie product I have is Nars Cruella Velvet Matte Lip Pencil (and I only bought that b/c I was rockin' a 20's look for a themed holiday party). Reds have always intimidated me, but RR looks like a nice neutral red to start with.

I hope RR works! I love people coming over to the red lippie side! If u don't like RR, try Ladybug or Cockney. It seems like a lot of people who are intimidated by reds like Ladybug. Would love to see a picture of u with RR! I can't wait to get my hands on it, hopefully.

Thank guys!

Saw on Allura a swatch of Peachykeen and Fleet Flast as a comparison...can anyone confirm this?

I don't think they're alike at all...

 

[PixieDancer]

Have a good one!

Vera SA is still available on MAC's website... You being cooler, that one may work lovely on you. Ask fair skins how they like that one? Pinkdollface?
Hope you like SLV... I REALLY love it!!! And I don't have any straight orange lippies...
I hope everything works out for the best with your health honey... I know people tip toe around uncomfortable things like this... But my thoughts and prayers are with you! Let us know how you are! And I would happily volunteer my personal shopping servies!

So I placed my order 2 hours after it launched online on Wed. My order still shows pending. I've called them 2x and they state it's pending review of my billing address ( same address I've used for years and I've already been charged). She couldn't guarantee my items will be in stock when it ships, but that I will be notified. I'm seriously annoyed and about to cancel the whole order and just say the hell with this collection. This is my first issue with MAC online.

Peachykeen is more shimmery, while Fleet Fast almost matte with a slight glow (depending of the brush you use, you might see tiny gold sparkles). Peachykeen is softer, more pigmented... although you can get good pigmentation with Fleet Fast, you still need to layer it to obtain the same depth. Fleet Fast is more a reddish warm color, while Peachykeen is pink with a slight peachy undertone. On the cheek, you might not see a huge difference, but they aren't dupes.

I just ordered Salute lipstick along with Orange Tempera and Riviera Life. Exccciiiiiiiited. <3 Especially for Salute. I have plans for that lipstick. lol

 

[BEEaboutmakeup]

Pixie, I think you're the reason why SLV sold out so damn fast! LMAO

Crap, and awesome! Thank you ladies

Thanks!

I didn't get Flower Fantasy instead of Crew i got both

I use both powders as light blushes. Crew can turn out different colours, but if you think the pink will be too cool it's probably not the best choice because most of the powder is pink. That's why i wanted to say that FF is great. It's warmer, but has the same soft blush effect just a different colour.
I love Fleet Fast it's a great summer blush!

Ooh! Thanks for letting me know Pixie! I'm going to try

Oh Pixie, thank you so much for being so kind for taking the time to pray and send good vibes my way! I seriously love the way that u just came up & made Spectktraettes realize how lucky we are to have each other but not only that to talk about the wonderful things people do for each other. Oprah would be so proud of u! Also, thanks for offering to support my MU habit! It's just hard to battle life, but when I feel up to painting my face with 40 different products it can take my mind off the reality of my life. I just threw the Vera in my shopping cart but am waiting to use "the code" since someone said u can only use it once. I'm hoping that b4 I order & go in for my thing on Tues that the lippies come back in stock. Thanks again.

Crap, and awesome! Thank you ladies

YW

 

[Lipstickdiva420]

[COLOR=EE82EE]Exactly ! But I DO think that Sail La Vie and Red Racer will be must-haves for our fair to medium beauties.  Red Racer looks amazing on fair gals.  I'm getting Salute!  If I can make magic with Reel Sexy, I think I can also do it with Salute.  I'm excited about the challenge. lol[/COLOR]

yes I got the sal la vie and red racer. I love red raceer and it does look ver nice on fair girls and yeah get that salute! I wanted reel sexy , but As everyone knows they sold out lol.

Brush guards are great for drying your brushes, but they are not good at all for traveling, or carrying in a bag. I used them, with my brushes in a roll, and they kept sliding back, and "teasing" all of my brushes. It took a few washes to get the hairs back to normal. :shock:

That is my experience as well. I only use them after drying and they do a wonderful job at that. Brushes always look new after a wash

MACerette, (late) contests on getting ur NARS cert. I don't know if ur looking to get any eyeshadows from NARS & I've only just started to dabble in NARS but I love Galapagos, it's a single brown ES. it's beautiful! As far as brush guards go, I've been using them for about 6 months & I only started to notice that they are making my brushes frey, with stray hairs all over my beautiful, nice brushes. Maybe when i put them in a cup to dry they are moving as they hit the bottom of teh container???Anyone had this experience? I would never, ever travel with them on because of this issue. But initially I think they are really handy.

[quote name="BEEaboutmakeup" url="/t/179432/mac-hey-sailor-summer-2012-discussion/3030#post_2230214"][COLOR=EE82EE]LMAO. Did you miss anything? Besides the fact that you THINK you know everything and you DON'T... I'd say no... you didn't miss anything.  I'm going to make this short and super sweet.  If you knew everything, you wouldn't be on Specktra.  You'd be a senior artist for MAC traveling the world or a renowned artist working for high end fashion shows and magazines. But who are you ? A random guy who sits behind the computer and bullies chicks and tries to make them feel you and only you are right.  Guess what? YOU'RE NOT.[/COLOR] [COLOR=EE82EE]You are not the king or queen of makeup lovebug.  NO ONE has seen YOUR WORK.   Anyone can swatch a lipstick on their hand.  But let's see you put it into use.  Until this happens, get off your high horse, stop attacking people, and HUMBLE YOURSELF.  Specktra should be a place of positivity.  NOT a place where people feel uncomfortable because some random dude stalks every board and tries to act like he knows everything.  Show us your work, make a blog, get on youtube, create a portfolio THEN TALK.[/COLOR] [COLOR=EE82EE]Oh, and I can assure you that I am not the only one thinking this. I'm just the one with enough guts to say it, because it NEEDS to be said.  Take HEED to my advice sweetie pie.  MEN don't act like this. LOL[/COLOR] [COLOR=EE82EE]-BEE[/COLOR] [/quote]I haven't been on the site long, but kinda does come off the way. he hasn't talk to me since after show me Mac guidlines lol. This type of thing happens a lot in forums so I'm suprised.

I always lay them down with the Brush Guard on. Just flat. Np here? Thanks for the Nars tip Spanky!

Here's a video of TiffanyD from Youtube unboxing some Hey, Sailor! items. Not the best lighting, but she does swatch them. I like seeing people's reactions to the collection:

Damn gurl!!!! damage much????

LOL! Yep! I'm now tempted to order Send Me Sailing and Riviera Life lipglasses now lol

 

[legendoflauren]

I couldn't haul from the Mac site because the won't except my Australian credit card. Lameeeeee. No free cute sailor tattoos for me. Frownface.

SO HELLO NORDSTROM!
Alright, I'm going to settle for...
SLV and RR Lipsticks
Old Gold Pigment - I've wanted this forever and the cute packaging has given me a reason to buy buy buy!
Sun Dipped Bronzer - due to the recommendations

Still tossing up whether to get the Spice l/s and l/g from Fashion Sets. Thoughts?

Hi everyone. I'm loving all the swatches and FOTD's that have been posted. I have not received my order yet. It should be here on Tuesday. I heard that pinch o' peach blush is a dupe for fleet fast. Can anyone confirm that? TIA.
