MAC - Surf Baby Discussion

Lou, the blue one is gorgeous too.
Especially those minty and golden shades.
If I had more money (or a job) I'd definitely get it.
I hope you enjoy yours!

aww - well if it helps the pigment stacks from last year were in cco's this year when i went so maybe you can catch them at some point

 

[NonoX]

I didn't get those one, I haven't a great "souvenir"

of the one I bought in last year collection, the green/yellow one.
When you get yours, tell me what you think of it?

Can't wait to see your pics MrsB!

aww thank you! They're now all up on the bottom of page 86 if you haven't already seen them And I duped a swatch - doh! There was supposed to be a one swipe pic of Hibiscus on there too, so I'll pop it on here instead:

I think 'one swipe' is how I'll have to wear hibiscus. I feel it's going to be overpowering on me otherwise. Mind you, I thought Candy Yum Yum would be too bright on me, and it's now one of my favourites!

Does anyone know if the Saffron from Surf Baby is exactly the same as the one from Micky Contractor, or is there a difference?

 

[MrsB]

Mrs B, I love Lucky green pair with Surf USA.
I shall try that tomorrow....


Hibicus look gorgeous on you.

Like you as pale as me, I'm NC 20/15, what do you think of My paradise? Do ou Like it?

Aww thank you NonoX

I love My Paradise but a light had is needed for this one, or else I imagine it will make pale ladies look 'muddy' cheeked! I used a MAC 159 brush, which is a big fluffy powder brush and sheered it out a lot

yup it is the same shadow

 

[MrsB]

Awwwwwwwwwww bless, that's so awesome!!

Can I join the sweet hubby club too? Lol! Mine just let me place a MAC order, and I got Sun Blonde with a couple of items - YAY

 

[katred]

Mrs. B- Thanks so much for the swatches! I love those colours on you and the look you did with them is wonderful. I can't wait to give it a try myself.

Christine gave really high praise on the shadows; I cannot wait until this collection is in the US! I'm thinking Surf USA, Sunblonde and Swell Baby (for now )

Those are the three I was thinking of. I love the look of the highlighter, but I need to limit my spending, so I may have to skip. I'm glad I bought Saffron before.

I tried one swipe earlier and it didn't like it as well as a full application. It looked a bit blah. Full coverage is very bright, its def a statement lip. I will say that this is the best coverage lipstick from mac i've ever used. I find most go on a little steaky, especially around the inside of the lip, so much so that I never wear a Mac lipstick alone. This gives perfect creamy coverage which is so even.

 

[LMD84]

oh man, i seriously cannot wait for mine to arrive!

 

[MrsB]

That's really lovely of you to say, I love creating makeup looks and I love sharing them on here - plus seeing everyone elses, it gives me a lot of inspiration! Aww we are indeed...I think we're gonna have to be extra special kind to them huh? LOL!

And can I just second what Sonia said about Hibiscus? It is a lovely lovely texture, perfect in fact...no streaks in sight and it doesn't highlight every lip crack or dry patch either!

 

[ladyarwen]

Christine gave the shadows and pigments a favorable grade, so I'm gonna swipe them! She reviewed the liners too, but it seems she forgot to include the grade. lol

Also, looking at pictures side by side, Short Shorts is more gold/yellow than Fresh Daisy, so I think I'll get all five shadows after all.

 

[hoshiakari_]

I love how Blue Moon(?) looks!
Even if it's a darker version of Float on By...

 

[OctoberViolet]

Christine has swatches of the lipsticks up, except for Hibiscus. She hasn't been able to buy that one yet. She gives the lipsticks a "B" grading.
I wanted Bust Out! But will pass. I'm holding off until July to do a haul of make-up depending on colors and reviews of course. Money saved for me.
Yay me!

PS: I must admit, them shadows look amazing. Must. hold. out. on. buying. until. July.

 

[RayannaBanana]

Are the pigment stacks really $38.50CAD!?

 

[ladyarwen]

Hmmm, she gave the liners a B+. I might check them out since I'm passing on My Paradise and all of the lipsticks except Hibiscus.

EDIT: Whoa, nevermind. That would put me over $200 since I'm planning on getting Strange Potion.
