MAC Hey, Sailor! (Summer 2012) Discussion

[vita cooper]

well once again i missed out on a collection color, i was in macys last week but i didnt have money so i couldnt buy red racer, when i went in yesterday they were sold out!!!! i guess ill have to try out russian red (since i have ruby woo & mac red-im a sucker for red lipstick lol)

I ended up not getting Red Racer because it seemed warmer than I'd like...but I still really want to try a nice red lipstick. Does anybody know a good blue-based red lipstick that is shiny and/or moisturizing? I was hoping to get a MAC one, but it seems all their regular catalog reds are matte...

Maybe you would like Mac Red? That's a satin.

I ended up getting that e/s in Feeling Fresh (which I love love love love) and it was the only thing I should have gotten. I got Sail La Vie just because. And I picked up that suntint in Au Rose which I returned because it was too sticky and the sand on the beach got into it and it was gross. I don't like MAC l/g or anything they make for the lips that sticky and glittery - I will make exception for Dazzleglasses that I wear for special occassions - but it went back.

Highlight of this collection for me was Feeling Fresh...perfect for summer and the beach!

Ahh good. Every time I try to shop on there I'm always overwhelmed by the choices there are haha. Eventually I will place an order with some good NYX goodies!

I made an attempt at a smokey eye, which I probably could have added more "smoke" lol, but you get the idea with the eyeliner.
I used some bronzer, too as per Liba's suggestion blended with some Launch Away blush.

I'm really happy with how it turned out! I think it made Salute a little more wearable for me.

WOAH Holy Hell My Lordie! I'm almost on the verge of thinking you are an Angel Muse sent from MAC lipstick heaven!
AGAIN you look fantastic! I cannot believe you are working Salute so perfectly! When you mentioned you got it, I thought to myself... I doubt it will work for her, because I swear I haven't seen a FOTD where I liked it yet... BUT AS USUAL... You can wear anything!! And this eye look is... (insert ANY adjective that means it looks "better than the best" since I'm out of ideas to describe you without getting a Thesaurus)...

So far, HS is my favorite collection of 2012 (next to TC, but as it was "just" blushes, I don't count TC as a full collection).

Anyways, I'm always loving the big summer collections.

What were your favorite items from this collection? So far, my love for SLV knows no limits and FF blush is just beautiful! JUST received my SD bronzer today on yours and Shellcats recommendations... So, I'll try that tomorrow with Crew.

You definitely do! Did you get SLV? I'd love to see it on you!

Yes I did get SLV and will do a look using that lipstick as well as RR.

Thanks~ I'll have to give that one a look .

I haven't been around for many of the collections this year, I missed out on IA but my fav that I've been around for would have to be S3/C3. I picked up all the quads, 2 l/s and a KLC. I'd have gotten more if it all hadn't sold out before I could get my hands on them.

HS/RS have been great though. Loving RS lipsticks and Lightscapade and HS e/s's.

Agree on TC - not a "full" collection but I love the 3 I picked up.

Me too! I'm using it daily.

This is my first year of purchasing LE items; I've purchased some in the past, but it wasn't deliberate. Most of my stuff is perm; I love MAC's perm line. What I'm having fun with in the LE launches is the more trendy colours. My days of neons and uber brights are over, but I'm enjoying colours like Star Quality that I'll finish and then move onto the next thing.

HS is the biggest haul I've ever done from a single collection (non-perm). Eight items is a lot for me from a single collection. I'm enjoying everything. Doesn't matter to me in the least if some of it is similar to what came before; it's new to me.

i tried the white gloss on the weekend...i dunno, i think the tester at that store maybe was old or something? it was all goopy and opaque looking...not at all how it looks in T's swatches.....it looked like white out!

 

[aradhana]

duckrodeo: salute looks fabulous on you! i like both of the looks you posted, personally. i guess the first one looks more low-key, but the colour is definitely suited to you.

ooooh, I came late to the restock but I hauled Crystal Avalanche (special packaging pushed it over the edge), Prolongwear l/p in the red color, Fleet Fast (could not resist), and Feeling Fresh!

BTW, I finally got over my "its too pretty to mess with" inhibition and used Crew for the first time--OMG. Perfect pink blush. Not sure why this was identified as a highlighter, it makes a great soft blush that looks, well, like a light flush. Probably only on relatively pale girls, but I love this paired with very light bronzer (Hello, Sundipped). Great for that "I'm not made up" make up look. Crew was for sure the highlight of the collection for me...

I only grabbed SLV, I kinda wanted FF crew and the blush but I'd rather wait for HC.

This is probably a good strategy, the problem is I just got paid and have almost zero impulse control. I think once we see swatches, the HC will be more manageable in terms of stuff I actually want to haul (I am hoping anyway!)

wearing red racer. im still playing with this collection
(sorry for the hair.. i never do anything to it)

Crew works as a blush for me too! I am way too pale for it to be a highlight. I love it though... it's so very pretty!
