MAC - Surf Baby Discussion

[Alisha1]

I hope everything gets sorted out for you hun!

Haha maybe it's just the addict in me trying to "justify" a way to add surf the ocean to my list !!!!

No I agree with this. I think they're better this time around. They're chunky but it's just in the pan. They're better than on SCF.

I notice not many people seem interested in the careblend powders but they are the one item that is tempting me from this collection.

I have been wanting a decent bronzer for a while, preferable with no (or at least very minimal) shimmer. I'm debating whether it would be best to go for a careblend powder, mac bronzer or MSFN. Can anyone explain the main differences between these?

I'm also very tempted by the new NARS bronzing/blush trio: http://www.narscosmetics.co.uk/color/blush-and-bronzers/blush-bronzer-trio.html but Laguna has shimmer....

Argh, decisions decisions!!

DEFINITELY go for the careblend. They're the best bronzers I have ever tried. I keep telling people to look at the bronzers but noone listens

I have never used the MSFN as a bronzer, so I don't know about that. I have used it as a contour, which it's great for.

I think the carebled is a much better bronzer than the regular bronzing powder. I love the regular bronzers, but Careblend is just amazing. It's sooooo soft and easy to blend. It's much more finely milled than the regular and easy to blend. And has a moe natural finish.

Come on! Don't do this to me.

Sorry :-D

Thank you Katjamo - I'm definately going to check out the cremeblends.

Does anyone know when it will be at the UK mac counters? I see its online and also on debenhams website, but I went to MAC yesterday and they still only had quite cute?!

Oh I just want to say, the blush sticks are amazing, well the one I have - Tan Tint is. I am in love. They are much bigger than I thought they would be, you do get a lot of product in them compared to what I had in mind. It is intensely pigmented and I just dab it straight onto my cheeks and then rub rub rub backwards to blend it in, then add a bit to my temples and rub that in too. It looks so natural, like I've spent the day on Brighton Beach playing with the dog rather than sitting out sunbathing all day. It just looks sunkissed and healthy. So pretty. I'd get another but being a cream product, I don't want it turning foul. It should be permanent and they really should work on the blush sticks too because after trying these I am really disappointed that they didn't make the final cut.

How does Made with Love compare to Hisbiscus? and is the whitish lipstick nice?

I did a swatch a few pages back - Made with love is much sheerer than Hibiscus. Hibiscus has the more intense colour. But both are close. HTH!

 

[silentstorm143]

I got a headache for you reading whats going on sorry there is such an issue with your order. i hope it gets straightened out quickly

 

[dxgirly]

Oh no!!! I'm sorry hun!!!

[/quote] I have NARS Laguna and I don't find it shimmery on me. I think that NARS trio is amazing as it combines 3 NARS cult favourite products. I already own all 3 seperately so i don't need it I heard good things about the careblend powders, definitely try them out when you see them in person.

[/quote] That's so strange! You have placed your order a week ago and it's still not here! I hope you get them soon.

 

[Colorqueen]

This is true- Some places are really persnickety, but sometimes they aren't. I hope they do a PRO discount for this one- at least the stackables because that is not special packaging.
