MAC Hey, Sailor! (Summer 2012) Discussion

[peachsuns]

The avi is Red Racer!

This is the best I could do lol, Scarlet is on the left and Sail is on the right. I don't see a difference!

Wow, I cannot tell the difference between the two. Hope you like both. They look beautiful on you!

I'm loving all the reviews, swatches, and images here. You guys are simply awesome! Thank you so much!

I cannot wait for Thursday!!!

That 16 pink beige is awesome!! I LOVE how it brightens up my eye. If you got YV from ED collection... It has the same effect.
I really want to try the Purple shade, but I still have Paint Pots from the Posh Paradise collection to go through first.

Yes I have YV too. Its one of my favorites. I like using them as highlighters or all over my lids with just a liner.

I keep meaning to go back for a couple more pearlglides and yes they are Beautiful.

:nods:  I know. I have got them all (from Vera) except for Blackline. Somehow that one didn't appeal to me as much as the others. Petrol Blue and Undercurrant are soooo beautiful.

Hey MACerette, Since ur going to do ur NARS haul & u like pearl glides but didn't get Blackline, (I LOOOOOOVE ME SOME PEARLGLIDES. MAC NEEDS TO MAKE MORE NOW!!! ) give a look at NARS Ainge Noir Shadow Soft Pencil (I think that is what it's called, it looks similar to Blackline. I never pull for BL but I wore AN the other day as EL on my lower lid & I really liked it. Check it out & let me know what u think. On the NARS topic, I feel I need a little quick & dirty retail therapy b4 I cry another freaking tear & b4 a med procedure Tues. AM. I'm already spying Albatross (Shell's got my scent hooked on that) I have & love Galapagos. What is a good NARS starter blush for NC20? keep in mind i bought most of the tres cheek collx & want ff. I'm not saying it's not in my future but something different than Orgasm. Any must have ES duos or trios (not Cordura)? How bout a good LS from NARS.??? Sorry this is off topic but I'm seriously losing my mind cause so much is going on that I need a break & I can't wait til I can HOPEFULLY HAUL Hey Sailor on Thurs. I will be some devastated shit if I can't get RR, SLV, TMS, ALL THE ES, FF BLUSH & a piggy or 2. By saying that I'll be devastated isn't about not getting a LS or ES...just real life has me in a bind right now. Ugh. So I'm going to get someone to take me to SEPHORA tomorrow and get a few things to make me smile, it's better than crying, I'm so over doing that. The sales people will probably pin me down & inject my raunchy red puffy eyes. Maybe I won't go shopping tomorrow. AHHHHH. Sorry to be the Debbie Downer here. Ugh. I.Feel.SO??????????? it's late I'm going to try & sleep now maybe I'll feel better in the morning.

Here's me wearing Scarlet Ibis:

Same method of Prep + Prime, Lasting Sensation blotting.

Here's some swatches of Scarlet Ibis (L) and the Rimmel lipstick #12 (R):

The rimmel one is definitely more orange. I just wonder how it compares to Sail La Vie!

SI looks awesome on you... Don't you DARE be nervous to rock that color AT ALL!! And this is you without ANY OTHER makeup on either... WOW!!
I think you will like the formulation of SLV a little better than SI for the Spring/Summer months. It's a little more wearable, whereas the matte formula seems a little more bold/statement for fall. Does that make ANY sense. I just feel SI gets a little heavy on me sometimes and the heat won't help that. But SLV is more of a glide... It's late, I might be making no sense whatsoever.
Whether you get SLV or not... SI looks awesome on you... ANOTHER lippie I have seen you in and LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

 

[peachsuns]

Ok... I'm going to enable... The lippie you're wearing is really pretty... BUT I "think" SLV is brighter (I'm obviously just judging by your pic, as I do not have this lippie from your photo to compare)
AND I "think" that SLV will brighten your face and look gorg! You said you have SI right? Can you post a pic of you wearing that? That might help me more.

And BTW... I would die if I looked HALF that good with no makeup! You are a beauty!!

Ohh, they do look like different colors lol. My avatar was edited for instagram so the color of the pic itself is a little faded compared to my digital camera lighting.

I did get a haircut (Added bangs) since the avatar pic was taken, but the hair color has stayed the same which is kind of a weird reddish dark brown color with a shadow box. My hair is unruly and unwashed right now lol so it's just tied back.

Oh the dreaded pm

Didn't really want a bu of Scarlet but it's cool.

I've received many compliments on Red Racer(twitter/hair forum), guess I need to wear reds more often!

Did somebody offer you a BU Scarlet Ibis? Please let me know who, i'm regretting not getting a BU of it.
EDIT: I think i completely misunderstood that You're meaning SLV is a BU right? I actually do see a difference between the two on your lips. The right corner of your mouth, SLV, seems more orange.

You certainly can pull it off.

Thanks Spanky. I hope things will get better for you soon.

Nope, I'm late getting naked! Going to look at swatches and compare, thanks for the help! Jaunty just might be coming home with me

Ha, I am not alone anymore in not being Naked. I liked Jaunty as it is a very neutral light shade, most of them are way too gold or too pink.

Okay now I am getting both Barefoot and Jaunty but am re thinking Emerald Sea. Any green MAC liners that can go on the waterline?

As Liba said, Minted is a great color, although more teal and it depends how well you can wear Kohls on the waterline.

Can anyone recommend a good red lipliner (any brand) to me that will match Red Racer? I can work the color but it starts to blur around my mouth a little, I have the start of those lovely age-related fine lines there...... I think I need a matching lip liner to keep it fenced in LOL. Thanks in advance...

Cherry is nice as it makes it more strawberry red, with Redd it would get more orange. Do you already have any red liners? The red one coming out might be nice if you want to move more towards orange, but I am not a fan of the PLW, they peel my lips and not in a good way.

Oh the dreaded pm :smash:   Didn't really want a bu of Scarlet but it's cool. I've received many compliments on Red Racer(twitter/hair forum), guess I need to wear reds more often!

You should :getyou: Maybe you can swap SLV for something else? I really like the color on you though, but RR more

Ohhh noooo! I've realized the past couple of years that ticket prices are insane! They're almost as much as airplane tickets!

 

[LMD84]

i seriously need to stop reading this because i want RR now! doh! I have so many reds though and they don't get used that often so really i should just leave it!
