MAC Hey, Sailor! (Summer 2012) Discussion

[GlamQueen21]

I'm only sorry I've got to wait to get my things on Thursday, because a picture does speak a thousand words.

It's going to be a love it or hate it color for people - especially very fair skinned gals.

Yeah, pictures does speak a thousand words. I cannot wait to see the collection in person on Thursday!

EDIT:
I got my first package today! I'm not opening it until Friday! LOL! I'm saving it for a blog post.

I looooove Crew so much, I wore it today again and I finally figured out why I like it so much. It gives me that hint of reddish pink flush I get on my cheeks when I go outside, not a sunburn but you know what I mean? It's definitely not an highlighter, they should have called it a blush.

I was wondering if any nw20-25 tried riviera life and what your thoughts are? It is so beautiful and just screams summer.

 

[Sugar & Spice]

Thanks!

I decided against Sun Dipped because Icecaramelatte said it was a bit ashy on her and I remember our skin tones being pretty close. So if it looks that way on her, I know it won't work out for me. I also realized I really don't want a "bronzer" but more of a illuminator/highlighter. I'm naturally tan so I don't want to darkin my skin, I just want a glow from within look.

Spanky I didn't think about how my "king" may feel about me wearing the "bronzed" look but I have a feeling he would prefer me without it but wouldn't say so. He hates the "fake" look on women and the wrong bronzer will certainly give that look. A illuminator/highlighter would be best for me because its the most natural.

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to keep my eyes open for it - I live 5 minutes away from a big Japanese mall. 'Should be easy to find!

Personally, with reds, I would never buy one unless I could try it on first, because the right red looks beautiful and the wrong red is just bad bad bad. You may possibly prefer the red gloss or maybe the red lipstick from Heavenly Creature will turn out to be better. Good luck on your red (and your bronzing experiences too)!

You're welcome

. I think you will definitely have no problem finding it~.

Yeah I ended up canceling Red Racer and going for the Send Me Sailing gloss instead...I had a bad feeling about Red Racer since it is on the yellow/warmer side. Send Me Sailing is more my kind of red, and I wear more gloss than lipstick anyway!

My wonderful boyfriend just came home and ordered Fleet Fast for me! We compared swatches to Tarte's Glisten blush (which Temptalia listed as a possible dupe and I already own) and he told me that they looked different to him, so he got it for me as a "just because" present Now my haul needs to be over!

I think you'll be happy with the gloss - it's got a really amazing texture- very opaque and wet but not slippery or unusually sticky, plus it has more of a blue undertone, without going full blue-based. Very classic but also stylish and not dowdy.

The Vera powders were sparkly on me too, and I know a lot of folks loved them and felt they just gave a beautiful sheen.
My skin is dry like a bone - I'm starting to think that those mica sparkles melt away into skin with more natural oils than mine? It's mysterious.

Congrats on being brave and trying a bronzer! I love it when I'm feeling like something the cat dragged in and people are still telling me how healthy I look that day.

When you buff it out, the micro-glitter transforms into a sheen (though buffing might not be the best option for very dry skin).

Are you still using the MI Serum? I hope you can make Crew work for you (as well as Vera).

Hehe, the way I made them all work for me was just not get them

That MI serum is great, but there's a limit to what my middle aged skin is gonna do, especially in those areas where the skin is thinner. I sort of avoid products that need a lot of buffing too, again for my skin's sake. It's all good...I don't feel deprived, since I have all the beautiful EDSFs, that work perfectly for me with no muss or fuss, plus Marine Life and My Paradise to get me through the peak of the summer.

Spanky was hoping for a little Crew anti-enabling so I brought up my personal taste about it. Anti-enabling demon ------->

I know there are going to be plenty of very happy people in the Crew Crew. I'm just glad MAC has so many different highlight and beauty powder and skin finish formulas - something for everyone under the summer sun!

Dang! That takes some will power! I usually can't wait to get home and the first thing I do is rip open the box

Team Freckles!

Thanks! Still not used to seeing myself in bright-ass matte lipsticks! LOL. Haha I dooooo know who Howdy Doody is! My dad always sings the theme song when he's meandering around the house!

Team Howdy Doodys!

Haha, money saved.

Did you actually end up with a bronzer? Sorry if I missed that info.

 

[CLO89]

It looks like Red Racer is already sold out on Nordstrom.com! I hope everyone was able to snag this if they wanted it

 

[liba]

I thought Sun Dipped was beautiful and very nice and subtle, but I'm on the fence about getting it, since I have enough LLB to get me through the summer. I'm sort of leaving it to the last minute when I go pick up my things on Thurs. I'm also this close to breaking down and getting the brush - it's really well made.

 

[Piarpreet]

oh ok...i think they use that graphic in many of their posts but i guess they might have got it from elsewhere to begin with!

let me think...desis using things from mainstream america..... NEVER happened before.... lol

Oooh, I should start wearing them soon with my summer HG l/s Hibiscus!

I'm still undecided on Crew. Is it powdery? I'm secretly hoping I won't like it as I have so many blushes already.

I'm excited to see Red Racer, Send Me Sailing, and everything else Thursday.

My brother went on the Howdy Doody show when he was a little boy and won a prize - he looked like a little miniature Howdy Doody back then too.

Not powdery at all - it's really close to My Paradise in formula, in my estimate, except without any gold shimmer, just that clear micro-shimmer/glitter effect (or whatever the heck it is hahaha - so complicated this technology!!)

Do you know the Pro Shaping Powders in Soft Focus and Warm Light? The finish is quite similar to Crew.
