MAC - Surf Baby Discussion

[singer82]

Yes they are! I love the ones I have I'm planning on using my turquoise MUFE AC as a base with the surf the ocean stack. It works so well under blues and teals so it should be awesome. I want to get then green MUFE AC to put under Surf USA, I think will be a good pair.

Those new liners look awesome too. I only own 3 AC's of thier line, I really want to get more from MUFE ... ,

Yes, get some aqua creams because they are amazing. I need to buy someone of their liquid eyeliners.

Nah. You gotta fight the temptation, ladies. I've been there, done that and it's not worth it. If you want to buy both stacks because you love them and will use them then go for it. Otherwise, leave it alone.

yup i totally agree with Shontay! i resisted the purple stack because i know i won't use it that much. silly to buy things that just sit and never get used

Doesn't pull orange/red at all

To you ladies that have it/have see it: about how golden is Gold-Go-Lightly? Does it pull orange/red at all? I LURV the Careblend powder formulation for finishing/oil control but Dark is too dark/orange and Medium Deep is too dark. I wear Nars Tahoe, or if NC44 and NC45 had a baby that pulled a VERY strong yellow.

the pigment stacks dont interest me at all, i have too many pigments that come close, and i'm not a fan of mega frosty eyeshadows

the two stars of this collection for me are surf usa and hibiscus

 

[xasperadastra]

Yep, Surf USA is amazing ...and I'm not a teal or blue, green girl at all...indeed it's the only teal I own!

 

[Allura Beauty]

I agree. Both Careblend colors are good at not pulling orange.

I know I was considering both of them because my MA was stashing them both for me if I wanted them, but the only one I knew I'd use was Surf the Ocean so I'm resisting getting them both, even if I can.

Are you getting Hibiscus ls or the blush? What do you think of them?

I am going to get the ls, but can't decide about the blush.

 

[starfire123]

Does anyone have blue absinthe and surf baby? Can someone please swatch blue absinthe it was LE and post it I definitely think it would match Surf USA

 

[mtrimier]

i am mentally preparing in case i can't get a tube of hibiscus, lol! i figure i'll try wet n' wild's 909D coral mega last lipstick if hibiscus sells out. from looking at temptalia's swatches, they seem similar, but H has a little gold shimmer to me. WnW is only 3$ anyway, so it won't hurt to check it out.

i never touched marine life, so i'm still on the fence with my paradise. all this mania is wearing me out.

I know I shouldn't go back to this thread... now I kinda want Surf USA

. I didn't have any teals either... and I think Odalisque leans more towards blue (which I love).

 

[gracie90]

Well after having bought nothing from the day of the release, I went back to my counter and got Gilded White e/l, Swell Baby e/s, and the last Surf USA! The pigmentation is crazy good! The only things that were sold out were Hibiscus and My Paradise, and Surf USA after I left

I thought I was done hauling this collection, but now I'm home I can't get Sun Blonde or Short Shorts off my mind! Should I buy them online tonight?? Goddamn how amazing the eyeshadows are haha

I've got some giant posts from a week and a half back if you feel like digging around like a mole, but here's the short version (because who wants to be a mole anyways??):

Hibiscus when it dries down is an almost exact dupe in color & texture to XXXhibitionist Kissable Lip Colour. I'm getting it for sure, but only one because I've got a back up of XXXhibitionist already - love, love, love this color for being super stylish and yet wearable in any situation.

My Paradise I've been really on the fence with. It's an orangey coral with brick overtones that doesn't do much for my fair skin - I'd have to have a tan or use bronzer to really make it look best. The best thing about it is the texture - it's very sheer but very pigmented, so it's easy to avoid clown cheeks and still get color, plus it's got a unique combination of sheen and subtle sparkle that is more subtle than a MSF but still amped up, sexy summertime. This will be best on medium skin tones or darker. NC15 like me would have to prep with bronzer. It's more sexy glam than Marine Life, but also not the full orange blush one might have been hoping for. The primary temptation for me is its scarcity - i have to face the fact of that

.


Besides Hibiscus and Surf the Ocean, I'm 100% for sure getting Krazy Kahuna, which I love for its outrageousness and how I've been saved spending 3 times the money for a similar gloss from Ellis Faas. Sun Blonde and Surf USA also for sure. 'Gonna retry Bust Out, but will probably skip since it looked muddy on me the last time I tried it. I'm considering a Careblend bronzer, since I love that formula, but I'm still going through last year's bronzer - I don't wear it that often except for a few summer months.

I have both. I'll try to swatch them later, but I can say for sure that they're not dupes. BA is much bluer and frostier (gorgeous colour that they should bring back).

 

[kiss]

Surf USA is a nice teal but not really all that unique. It looks more unique in the pan than it does on the lids and the texture of base reminds me of partylicious that is hard to wash off your hand.

 

[kiss]

oh and I hated Bust out!!!

 

[starfire123]

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

aww why you hate it?

 

[mac_aiken]

This will be a very small haul for me. I will be getting Sun Blonde e/s, Hibiscus l/s and Gold Go lightly bronzer. I like Surf USA shadow but wonder how close it is to Gulf Stream?

 

[ILoveMakeup84]

I am skipping Surf Baby. Nothing is really OMG I need that ya know? I really liked To the beach more. Instead I decided to get a Chanel Bronze Corail and other goodies
