MAC - Surf Baby Discussion

[PinkBasset]

should I just return short shorts and swell baby because I have things exactly like it?

Happy Birthday cutegingerbread!

Do you love the colours? I left Short Shorts because it was exactly like Nylon on me, and I don't use Nylon that much. Swell Baby has better pigmentation than Bough Grey (or are there other dupes found?), I like it, but I would've lived without it now that I saw how close BG is to it. But I do like greys so I don't mind having two so similar colours. Next time Mac releases a grey I'll be checking my stash.

Thank you so much!

and you make a good point! i love Nylon and barely use Bough Grey. Pretty frustrating when MAC releases things so similar to perm range, I get rereleasing a LE color if people missed out but Short Shorts and Nylon are practically identical lol! Thank you for your advice!

Does anybody know why the blush sticks were not released?

We were told that when the product came in it failed to meet MAC's standards and therefore was not to be released.

ah ok then. i guess it is best they didn't release a sub standard product.... although you have to wonder how big bounce made it to the shelves! lol!

I would have loved to have seen a blush stick too....
As for the BB shadows, I will have to admit I have changed my mind on this product...I too was like ???? they creased, balled up, did pretty much everything I did not want a shadow to do, HOWEVER, we got some tips that really worked. Instead of trying to use it on the lids by its self I used a PP first, did my regular shadow and then used a #217 and used the BB shadow OVER the powder to create a really shimmery effect. If applied in a sheer layers the results are gorgeous

oh yes somebody did mention this to me so i need to try this with the two that i own now

 

[Mac-Guy]

Lou, that's so true!

Found THE perfect matching liner today for Hibiscus!!!

Shiseido - OR310 left <----- these lip pencils are divine! It also looks good all over the lips.
Hibiscus - middle
Sephora Cocktail on The Beach glossy gloss - right

Plus, where I went shopping today - they had 1 Hibiscus left!!!! so I grabbed it.

And, hubby bought me a 21.5 iMac

- I just hope that I can figure it out.

I think if you had bough gray on one eye, swell baby on the other, no one would ever know.. lol

went to MAC on Sunday and tried mocha and krazy kahuna because i was trying to decide if i really needed it, and turns out i don't...it pulls kinda orangey on me

i got bust out and good lovin in the mail earlier this week, and while i'm a sucker for purple, this one i'm glad i got but i think i'll probably reach for style curve or violetta a little more than this. but still glad i got it.

swatched hibiscus (which i ordered when surf baby first hit the net) and i think i am going to like it after all. it should be here tomorrow.

now attempting a MAC no buy till semi precious.

 

[GlamQueen21]

^I myself am tempting to not buy anything else from this collection until Semi-Precious.

I thank someone who did the swatches with Bough Grey and Swell Baby. I'm now thinking if I should get it or not. Even though I have my eye on Good Lovin l/g right now.

I returned saffron today it just isn't that pigmented to me...

 

[RayannaBanana]

I wish they would have repromoted Firespot and Waternymph! After seeing pictures of them they are 2 eyeshadows I'm dying to get my hands on for the summer!

I bought saffron when it was released with the MC collection, and the SB saffron doesn't have the same pigmentation as the original. It is the only shadow from SB that was a dissapointment for me. I bought a saffron bu from SB, and I may return it.

Hey specktras this my version of hibiscus. Jordana cherry lipliner,mac virgin isle CCB,and viva glam cyindi lipglasss. Unfortunately I cannot compare to hibiscus cause it was sold out so I just had to dig into my stash and experiment. Sorry for the glasses,I recently had Lasik and it was either sunglasses or some weird looking goggles to stop me from rubbing my eyes and ofcourse no eye makeup another reason for covering my ugly dark circles,he he.

The sephora one looks divine! How is it's staying power?
