MAC Hey, Sailor! (Summer 2012) Discussion

I think Launch Away is one of my favorite things from this collection - it turns out to be a really brightening peachy pink on me.

HS is not my favorite collection. I liked ED way better. Anyone else?

I do have Immortal Flower...I don't use it nearly as much as some of the others though. I need a little bit of pinkness I think but yes, I agree - they are similar...just that Launch Away is more pinkish.

Yes! I want more colors in ED

 

[MaCchick43]

Its too bad ED only had 10 colors. Those are nice!

Agreed. ED/TC were my favorite hauls (so far). April was an expensive month for me!

Bronzer question-- I want to try one of the Pro-Longwear bronzers, but... I NEED a bronzer that is natural enough to wear daily, but also be buildable enough for me to wear on stage for dance performances. Do these fit the bill, or are they not buildable enough?

I was very content on skipping this collection. But Sail La Ve is still on macys site. I was sad I missed out on wms and red racer. Should I give in?

If you can afford it without any issues you should get it. Skipper's remorse really sucks. I missed out on WMS as well and am still longing for it. SLV is the best looking one out of the lippies from HS. I missed out on Red Racer but have the other 3.

I really like SLV. Its a very wearable orange, so if you have been wanting an orange since its so haute this season, and you want one that is very complimentary to most skin tones, I'd say go for it. Plus, special packaging!

From what I can tell from the photos you've posted of yourself, I think SLV will look really nice on you and not make you look sallow or be insanely clown bright. If you got it and didn't like it, I'm sure there's another Specktrette out there who you could sell or trade it with. If you have Scarlet Ibis and think that's too yellow based for you, just keep in mind that SLV is more orangey than SI. It's about the same brightness, though, for reference. I'm not too sure we're going to see another shade quite like it for fall, so that's another thing to consider.

Good luck!

What's your skin complexion cool or yellow toned? Sun dipped suits both and its more buildable than nude on board.

I agree! Sun Dipped PLW Bronzer and the 167SH are my faves from this collection. I'm an NC40 and it works great for all over bronzing and contouring as well. It's not too dark or too light, just the right amount of color. On my skin, it's buildable enough that it doesn't get too red and doesn't turn gray on me. Love it, love it, LOVE it!

I absolutely LOVE Blessedly Rich. It's been my go-to l/g for the last two weeks. It's such a pretty, neutral shade, perfect for no-fuss days. I never would have ever considered it if the SA hadn't suggested I try it. Debating on a backup, but I might check out NYX Sponge Cake per Richelle's suggestion first.

For fun, I tried the suntints and they are truly horrible. Super tacky and drying. JB will have to satisfy my SPF needs after all.
