MAC Temperature Rising Collection (May 2013)

[Genn]

All of the swatches I have seen of the quads make them both look beautiful but I DO NOT NEED ANOTHER EYESHAOW. I repeat to myself, I do not need another eyeshadow. repeat.

Same here....that's why I'm trying to hold out for the BMS quad to show up at the CCO....that should give me some time to use something up....hopefully

If only that could kill this lemming. Unfortunately, it just makes me want to buy back ups b/c I know I will go thru it faster. I guess I should be glad Inglot just aint available IRL to me and I find the website too overwhelming to shop there. That would be murder for my wallet. I am glad to see these pictures though. Back OT, I really am having trouble narrowing the list. I know I need to cut back on lippies, but oddly, the purple violet one is the only one I am contemplating skipping. Well, maybe the nude if there are dupes, but the special packaging is making me want it even IF its dupeable. AND, the glosses are so fabfuckingulous I am going to have to break my gloss no buy

Right! I don't wear glosses that much and they just end up going bad. But Underdressed is so purty Has anyone seen the punk couture on the MAC website? Love the promo pic. Id love if they'd do a whole rock inspired collection with a promo like that.

Press it on rather than blending. When duochromes (or trichromes) are blended, one colour tends to pull over all the others. When i blend club into my crease, on me it pulls only the burgandy, no green or brown.

Thank you for the insight! Great tip.

Mission this week is to finish three lipglosses, Love Nectar, Viva Glam VI, Fantabulous 2. TR lipglosses have been definites on my list which doesn't even exist anymore. I know I will bu Underdressed gloss. Thanks to Miss TT I got the 136 brush so if the 167 is not the best quality I will be ok until TT brushes. I am still indecisive about the quads but I just got shadows from ED, N&M and will be getting a few mineralized ones from TT. I have never been so ambivalent before about a collection but I guess overload will do that to you

mg: It's bad, I have 7 lip glosses that I've been trying to get through. But always end up reaching for lipstick instead cause I don't want them to go bad. Then the glosses get bad then I have to waste them. It's a vicious cycle lol. I try to wear them but are just unpleasant to wear now. Freaking 7! And that's not all my glosses, those are just the ones that have gone bad. That's $105 wasted (prob even more cause 3 are in special packaging)! :shock: Maybe I should be good and skip these lol

I am 100% in love with Feel My Pulse! If you love purpley magentas but don't always want a super heavy matte then this lippie will be right up your alley. I love my other magentas like Up the Amp and Strong Woman but I am really appreciating that (because this is a creemsheen and thus slightly slicker and sheerer) I can slather this on without a mirror anytime, anyplace. Because of this I realize I am actually going to wear this one far more often than my others, I am really low maintenance when it comes to lipsticks, and if they can't be my on-the-go one-and-done then they don't make it into regular rotation. This one is getting backed up X2 TODAY!

Also, Ripe for Love is far more gorgeous than I ever thought it would be. I just grabbed one to avoid the Skipper's remorse problem but I didn't really believe it would be awesome on my cool toned skin, in fact it looks dynamite! And really quite a natural flush for looking so orange in the pan, it really has some lovely red undertones that will make it work for the coolies out there
I am thinking of backing it up but I am trying to be reasonable....Even my favorite blushes will never reveal their pans so I think this one is unlikely too as well. Too much competition.
For anyone thinking this is similar to Supercontinental, have no fear, this is a different animal entirely. SC is a bright fresh pinky coral, and RFL is a sultry sunset flush.

A friend gave me Rich Glance Powerchrome pencil (which I never would have purchased for it's ridiculous price!) but I am secretly kind of loving it. The texture is lovely and glides across the lid with zero effort and it sets and doesn't budge for a very long time, even without primer underneath (and on me, that is nothing short of a miracle). This would be a great travel makeup item, or perfect beach makeup. But why in god's name is it so expensive?????

I looked at the 167 brush today and it felt a bit scratchy and a lot of hairs were falling out

Ugh. Got a speeding ticket today. Don't know how much it's gonna cost me, but I definitely need to stick to three items. So I'm gonna change it up and have them be RFL, FMP, and Underdressed.

I´m in love with the Bare My Soul Palette

This is the 4th time i use more than 1 eyeshadow color en not only on the lid. So i´m a beginner hihi.
Romantico is on the lid, Friendly on outer corner, When in Rio in the crease (but you can not see it on the picture) and on lower lash line, and Bare My Soul, i dont know how you call it, its on the left side in the begin of my lid? I don't have a color to blend or highlight.. Blank Type is on my to-buy list.

And a full face picture:



Altered Beige is a realy sheer color. After 30 minutes its gone.. And you need to use a lip pencil under the lipstick.

Hello everyone!

After reading the thread I decided to join! I am really excited about this collection and will admit that I wanted everything, but after seeing the swatches and reviews you guys have helped me narrow it down!

So here's

Feel My Pulse Lipstick
BMS Eyeshadow Quad
Ripe for Love Powder Blush
Hot Nights Powder Blush
Golden Elixir Strobe Liquid

I also wanted to ask you all your thoughts about Altered Beige. I'm NC43 and I've always wanted to try a nude lippie. Would you guys recommend this shade or have any other recommendations from the permanent range? TIA

Welcome Addict4MAC! I do not recommed Altered Beige because its gone on my lips after 30 minutes.. So maybe you can try it by a MAC counter before you buy it. Its also verry sheer and you need a lip pencil under the lipstick.

 

[Corally]

I got ma stuff today! ompom: I got FMP and RFL. And the packaging is just gaw-jus. :bigheart: Haven't tried them out yet because it's getting dark here, but tomorrow I def will. :flower:

Good luck! Ugh, it's SO hard to go through lipglosses/lipsticks! Good motivation to skip new products, but maybe note good enough... You're right! It's a vicious cycle!

I originally wanted the strobe liquid from this collection but this week i went to my mac counter and got a sample of the perm colour to see if i like the formula. Tried it last night on a night shift under my MSFN an in the morning i was shocked at how cakey and nasty my skin looked. I decided to give it 1 more try today and was sure to make sure i let my moisturizer set into my skin and then let the strobe liquid set in and i can already tell its gonna do the same thing. Now i get to be cakey face at work again, and this time people are awake . So i will be skipping the strobe liquid from TR, more money for something else. Maybe this works better under a liquid foundation but I wanted this shade for summer and I don't wear liquid in summer
