MAC Temperature Rising Collection (May 2013)

[Icecaramellatte]

Can someone swatch or compare Flash of Flesh and Soft Serenade for me pls? I lost my almost new FoF after using it once. I want a replacement but I don't want to open my SS yet and I did not try it on in store. Are they close enough for me not to bother replacing FoF before it is gone?

Oh I see someone already beat me to it. I was racking my brain at the mention of Flash of Flesh. The name was so familiar that I went through my lipgloss stash which was a lot (Please no one even think about doing a lipgloss count) and eventually found it. I didn't remember it being so sparkly. In the tube they looked nothing alike. Flash of Flesh just looks frosty in the tube you don't even see the sparkles but on application I found them to be very similar. Both pink and sparkly but Flash of Flesh was much more pink and pigmented and Soft Serenade had more sparkles. Being a lipgloss lover, I think you probably should just go ahead and another Flash of Flesh if you can.

         I just got home and took AB  out of by b/u stash to part ways tomorrow as someone else had commented earlier  I found out now that I miscounted Hidden Treasure Blush as it is actually 4 total since  I am using one currently  and there are 3  BNIB. I had also forgotten to add the 2 Archies Girls Pearlmattes as well ( shhh, don't tell that Medgal as that's a whole 'nother  can of worms, lol).:worms: I will be on the look-out to see if I can help you hound another AB , I promise!!!

Thank you! I know a few people also wanted it! Darn they beat me to it! Hopefully it will come up again I'm keeping my hopes up lol

Thanks so much as well Ice. My sis in law did a look yesterday from my stash as she was going out for Memorial Day. It was funny when she asked when I die who should get all my make-up. I jokingly told her to sell some to help bury me, prepare me in some and use my shadows for ashes to ashes, lol. I am really glad I wasn't into make-up as long and deep as most of you guys are. I tell myself I am "soon going to stop" esp when my mom gets on my case. I guess I could say I got off pretty cheap, huh. I will order FoF soon (x 2), just need a few more tubes to be used up which should be pretty soon. June will be a slow month for me as I already got my N&M and am waiting till fall for Rhi-Rhi. Hidden Treasure blush is to Debbie as Forever Marilyn BP is to Gracie, lol. It is beautiful on my skin-tone I tell you, no joke about it.

I think I have approx 35-38 blushes including BUs and MSF and EDSF, but my all times favorites are Hidden Treasure, Fiery Impact and Earthshine My collection actually really began last April with Reel Sexy and 1st ED then HC in July. Prior to that I had only owned Raizin and Love Thing however BU's is my weakness From the top of my head: Magenta (Reel Sexy barely touched) Supernova (barely touched) Love Thing x 3 (less one given to my mom) Ring of Saturn x 2 (3rd loved blush, got one on Ebay reasonably) Alpine Bronze x 2 Hot Nights x 2 ( extra was an accident as a friend got one for me and I had one pre-ordered) Fiery Impact x 3 Hidden Treasure x 3 Blazing Haute Flaming Chic Stratus x 2 Solar Ray x 2 (not sure if I was thinking, barely used my original one and ended up picking up another at CCO in Orlando, new and discounted) Earthshine MSF x 4 (one almost done) COTU (sold my BU) Star Wonder x 2 (sold both) Shape The Future x 2 Double Definition x 2 Glorify x 2 Superb WOG Didn't count: Raizin (my first blush and only one I ever hit pan on, love it but never replaced due to LEs) Prom Princess (got one for someone then ended up selling mine as well)

Oh Earthshine is my absolute Fav MSF! I regret not getting Glorify or Superb. Does Double Definition or Shape the future compare?

This is the first collection I considered getting bu's but I held back. So proud of myself for that!

IMO, there are subtle differences with the EDSF but they all function basically the same. Earthshine has more glitters and a hint of burgundy undertones. I think I saw a few listings of some of them in the sales threads. Check out the clearance bin. Double Def is the closest one to Superb/Glorify when I lay them together . STF is unique to the family. I didn't get Definitely Defined. Glorify is more like a penny tone but a bit deeper

I swatched Life's luxury today. I should have gotten that pencil over the brown and beige/gold one. (forgot their names)

       IMO, they don't really compare but they function basically the same. Earthshine has more glitters and a hint of burgundy undertones. I think I saw a few listings of some of them in the sales threads. Check out the clearance bin

Sorry, I think the way I typed it it came off wrong. I have Earthshine, I was asking how does glorify or superb compare to dd and stf. I heard ppl say they are similar.

 

[ChosenOne]

The strangest thing just happened. I was browsing this thread and saw multiple posts about the restock. Before I knew it I was on MAC's web site doing the unthinkable. I just ordered AB and LP----hangs head in shame and hides credit card.

Well thank goodness you placed that extra order, because you really didn't get enough of the collection to qualify as a legit haul before that

Enjoy your goodies, Medgal!!!

I edited my original post so hopefully that explains it a bit better.
