MAC Hey, Sailor! (Summer 2012) Discussion

[martiangurll]

I've used the orange part of Crew today as a highlight in combination with Modern Mandarin. It's a gorgeous combo!

i tried it over Fresh Honey (Naturally) and it made the most awesome pinked coral color...

I went back to try and order stuff, everything I had thought about going back for was OOS. I really wanted the green e/s after all, but it was gone, so I snagged Jealous Wakes instead. LOL

I have to say that it actually looks lovely on you! When I first saw the swatch of Salute, my first instinct was that it would look gorgeous mixed with Playing Koi.
Maybe you could mix it with Keep It Loose Lip & Cheek color. Or, you can mix it with another one of the Lip & Cheek colors that are either more pink or orange
depending on the type of neutral shade you prefer. My own tip is to use a sparkly silver gloss over nude shades to make them breathtaking

. For example, mix
Fleshpot with Astro Cool Lipglass. You can even try using Astro Cool if you have it. As an alternative, you can take a pale green Lip Tar, Lo-Fi from OCC, and make a neutral
shade more yellow based. For example, try mixing Lo-Fi with Interlace and it will turn into more of a concealer shade.

YESSSS!!!

Please do post a picture once you get it!





Just for kicks...here's Salute!



Here's how I feel about it...........

........... LOL. Not a flattering shade for me! I paired it with Summerfruit cremestick liner. I'm determined to figure out what to mix with it to make an actual flattering shade lol

OT: thank you ladies for the NARS recommendations. Yesterday and the day before I received:

Orgasm, Deep Throat, Angelika, Torrid, Douceur, Madly, Oasis and Luster as well as Albatross, Nico and Laguna and the nail polishes in Ecumé, Ratin Jot, Koliary, Anardana and Lal Mirchi.
Look what you all did!

(Happy though)

Look what we did - or look what YOU did???

What do you think of Deep Throat and Lustre? I tried Lustre but I found it too shimmery for me. I'm most interested in Gilda but they don't have it at Sephora. Might have to wait until my next US trip; I'd want to try it on me.

It looks like they restocked some of the HS items. Sail la vie, Salute, Feeling Fresh

 

[Genn]

correction : they restocked everything but Red Racer

 

[nudibelle]

Restock! Scored feeling fresh only thing I really had regret on

 

[sherm]

Gah, now I want Cut Loose! I'm making a deal with myself that if it's around after I return from my trip on the 12th then I can get it...I get paid Friday while I'm gone!

 

[duckrodeo]

LOL Cut Loose is so unique ! I may back it up... And the 167 and Fleet Fast were popular items at my counter as well.

I had the inkling that Cut Loose was one of those sleeper lipglasses - it's not a standard tinted lipglass that can be worn by itself. Whenever I see Temptalia review a lipglass as "milky and streaky" I take that to mean: pair it with a lipstick and it will be aweeesome! I'm intrigued by Cut Loose but still on the fence, because I'm not sure if there are alternatives to it out there..

 

[GlamQueen21]

Ordered Cut Loose l/g and done with Hey, Sailor for sure! LOL!

EDIT://
I know that Jaunty e/s recently got restocked and for those that want Jaunty, Blessedly Rich and/or Riviera Life, PM me if you are interested. I plan to sell them so I don't want to be a hoarder to have backups of them.

Get it!! Apply your favorite lipstick, leave the center bare and pop Cut Loose in the middle and have a super sexy lip. ^__^

well you are beautiful but i agree that it isn't the most flattering shade... i stayed away from this one myself because i don't think i could get it to work.

Yes, indeed. The shade brings out my freckles and accentuates them in a way that makes it look like I'm ill lol. Some of the swatches looked sooo intriguing it made me cave and get it. I'm going makeup hunting at Ulta tomorrow so maybe I'll see if I can come across anything that would play nicely with Salute lol. I'm determined to find a way to make this work!

Salute might not be a color you usually wear, but you pulled it off beautifully! Hope you will figure out what to mix with it so you will like it more. It might look gorgeous with smoky eye?

I saw MAC re-stocked the collection. Hope I'll stay strong! LOL

Hahaha, well I did it, but you gave me the ideas

Deep throat is nice. I am wearing some madly and luster today, but I slapped it on this morning in a hurry so I cannot judge that one yet. I do like douceur, nico, orgasm, deep throat and laguna. The rest I still have to try properly. I think Gilda would be very pretty, but it was not available in the online European shop alas....

 

[FadBurger]

Duckrodeo, I'm convinced all colors look good on you.

Anyone think jaunty is very close to Patina... I'm going to go home and compare them.

It's funny you should say that, I just got Patina the other day and was comparing it to Jaunty! It's darker and cooler than Jaunty, in my opinion

 

[duckrodeo]

I went to Ulta today to check out the NYX lip liners and they were all opened up and the tips were broken off animals! lol. Anyway, still on the hunt for what might work with Salute, but I did pick up Crystal Soda lip gloss!

Ohh and Revlon makes a clear sparkly lipgloss, it's one of their new shades. I thought it might be close to Cut Loose, but it doesn't have the same milkiness that CL does. I think it's worth checking out though! It's a gorgeous gloss to use for layering

I ordered Orange Tempura. I finished my first Fresh Air lipglass and didn't want to open my BU quite yet, so I'll probably switch it out for OT. Maybe it'll work with Salute!

I honestly liked the white Hey Sailor gloss the best over Salute.

Then again, Salute looks really good on me to begin with, for a very skin-tone nude.

I'm NC15 with more yellow undertones in the summertime when I've got some tan. Maybe instead of looking for a good lip pencil to make Salute look good on you, you should instead try to find a good bronzer to adjust your skintone just a touch in the undertone department? That's my recommendation, but honestly from your photo, I thought Salute looked really excellent on you and very very stylish!

Thank you for the compliment! I think that's the key right there is finding a good balance of colors to make it a complete look, otherwise of course the color will look "off". Salute itself isn't what needs more work but more of a big picture kind of thing to really bring the whole face of the day together. With the pink/purple eye combo I wore during the day, it definitely didn't agree with Salute when I tried it on, but there are better flattering colors to pair with it, too lol. I'm going to play around with a smokey eye. I'll see what I can come up with.

That's a good idea with the bronzer, I agree it would definitely change it up. I'm a bronzer-phobe lol, but I do have Harmony blush, Urban Decay baked bronzer, and a Too Faced one that I will bring out sometimes. I tend to be a little neutral-toned, but sometimes more pink or more yellow can shine through.

Whoop Whoop! lol I've put countless of gals from Specktra on game about Crystal Soda. hehe! I hope you find some NYX lip liners soon ! I promise they're great and are just as good as MAC's.
