MAC - Surf Baby Discussion

[martiangurll]

Does anyone else have the stacked pigments from SCF 2010? Do they make your eyeballs red and irritated? If so, these are a skip. If not, I am loving the looks of both sets! Maybe I can find a friend to buy one set and I buy the other and we can trade out. Too bad we don't do decanting circles on pigments like we used to get on the BPAL website...

I love Crest the Wave but it does look golden on me as well. Wonder if I tried a purple or blue based paint pot or paint as a base if it would neutralize the golden tones and bring out the yellow more? Maybe Mauvism paint???

I have both sets of pigments from this collection and I find they are hard to work with, they are too chunky for me I've tried using them a few times and I just cant get them to work for me. So I think I am skipping the stacked pigments unless the formula is more smooth and less chunky !!!!!!!!!!!

I have the stacked pigments from SCF. They don't irritate me at all. I also find them pretty easy to work with, I have heard some people have trouble with them.

Also, neither stacks in this collection look like the ones from SCF to me. I know someone had mentioned that it may be the same colors (I don't remember how far back I saw that lol).

Both pigment stacks are gorgeous! I have resisted the ones from SCF but I might resist them since I have too many pigments that have not been giving any love from me.

I have both of the stacked pigment stacks from SCF...they're OK...I have them put away (they don't fit with the rest of my pigment so I don't really reach for them) They don't irritate my eyes at all, only NARS products do!

Is it just me, or does the first stack look different in the swatches than it did in the photos? I thought there was a kind of a teal colour in there, but it doesn't seem to be in the swatches. Second stack looks beautiful, so I think I'm betrothed to that one.

 

[TeresitaMC]

^ I noticed that they look quite different, too!

 

[laylalovesmac]

crap i think i now want both pigment stacks!

Haha- my thoughts exactly!

EDIT: Just looked at the hand swatches and now I *need* both of them!

Every time I try to Hibiscus out loud I say Hibicus. It takes me 3 times to get it right :/ This collection is so exciting! I'm looking forward to:

Pressed Powder in Lush-Light Bronze
Hibiscus l/s
Surf USA e/s
Sun Blonde e/e
Short Shorts e/e

But who knows where it will grow when the date gets closer

Mocha lipstick looks dark in those pics. It's making me wonder how dark Hibiscus really is.

I am not really feeling the pigment stack from those swatches but I am not going to jump to conclusions yet.

I thought the pink/purple metal stack was the same from last year but its not. The dark pink reminds me of UD's Last Call but more metallic. Looks like I'll prob be getting both of those stacks then. I'm with LaylaLM...those hand swatches totally swayed me. Only thing is the teal stack DOES look different. That would really suck cause the color would look awesome as a metal pigment!

I might be the only one but I do not like the bags at all. Just not my style I guess.
Already have float on by eye kohl from last year so pass on the teal liner.
Wonder how the purple lippie compare to the other MAC purples?

don't worry about the promo pictures. mac have a habbit of making the colours look quite different to what the product actually looks like!

They do look pretty but I will resist these the same as I did with the SCF ones. I saw the SCF ones in the CCO and still just smh. Can't make myself buy them.

lol! yeah i learnt my lesson yesterday! i shall only use them wet and not when i am either half asleep or in a rush! lol!

I can't make the pigments from SCF work for me. The darkest colour of either stack creases on me no matter what Primer I use, and while I manage to do my make-up with them without any major fallout, at the end of the day glitter has migrated all over my face. They're a hot mess - lovely colours tho... *sadface*

 

[Pinkdollface]

I think i will skip the pigment sets. I always forget to use my pigment, except for today

I also think the texture of these won't be as nice as normal pigments.

oh yeah i don't doubt that the texture will be just like the ones last year. Gritty and hard to use. but i still want them!!

I finally have to check out the pics and swatches to decide what I want! Eek!
