No way - not on me, that's for sure. Ablaze is coral and Mangrove is warm yellow/orange-ish red. ablaze is clown lips bright and Mangrove is vibrant and glowing, but not bright at all. I'm NC15 - Mangrove I am sure will pull a little pinker on darker skin tones, but it won't ever be as bright as Ablaze. i totally agree with you - Christine is in her bizarre alterna-world again on that. Scarlet Ibis is eye searing bright compared to Mangrove. Yet again, you sum it up. Mangrove's the most truly modern red I've seen from MAC in years. I went from not caring about it, to thinking all the time about it, then decided to buy for sure and now just waiting for the day I'll be able to pick it up in-store. I personally prefer Sweet Experience - smoother, more opaque texture plus the color has a touch more yellow to it, which makes it more fun and unique, for my taste. I feel like Pinkfringe would be more what a person would want if they want blue pink and with a texture that lets the natural lip color through more. It's a very unexpected finish for a Satin.

Sara of Color Me Loud did a nice little review and swatches of Woodrose and Sunset Beach:

I keep bouncing back and forth between Woodrose, SB + OC.
Want to keep it to 1 item but I might cave for 2.

The more I see woodrose worn the more I like it. Pure zen is my HG nude so I'm trying to decide if I really need it.

I was really excited about this collection before it got pushed back. I originally wanted both of the blushes but they seem dupable. Love love love the packaging!! I am tempted to buy one of the lipsticks (most likely Mangrove) just for the packaging. Plus its such a pretty color! I'm not sure if I could pull off a color that red though. I've never had any luck with red lipsticks.

i know Pure Zen is permanent but it was my favorite item from the marylin collection. i got several Bu's in that packaging. and if mac ever decided to take it away from the permanent line. I will be buying more in regular packaging.

Finding Nude lipsticks is VERY Difficult for me.

Agreed with all you ladies! Pure Zen is my second favorite nude lip ever, and definitely my favorite from MAC. Nudes are really tricky for me too (I think they're tricky for everybody, for different reasons). They're either so pale they make me look dead, or they have so much color they can't really be considered nude on me.

Used Google Translate to find out what she thought.


Ombre Blush Ocean City:

This ombre blush in the color Tangerine Dream runs from nude / peach to coral / pink. I'm still a sucker for ombre! It is a soft powder with a matte finish, so it looks very natural on the cheeks. No shimmers, yet it provides a very fresh, glowy look. The pigment is not too strong, so you can build without immediately to look like a clown. Lovely color Above you see the top of the top color in the middle of the bottom color and mixed at the bottom of all colors. Personally, I think the mixed colors best. Above, I wear no blush left and right mixed blush, so you can see the effects properly. It is a soft, natural and fresh-looking color. Here, I like that! Of course I also love my Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks, so that I would make myself even slightly over the highlight surround effect. Here you can see the blush slightly better. It is a color between peachy and coral with a hint of pink. Very nice on different skin colors, both white and tinted.


Mangrove Lipstick:

Mangrove lipstick is red with a touch of neon orange, it seems. From a distance it looks at least a very popping and bright, but not as popping as neon. Normally I do not like orange lipsticks, but this one has very little orange and is mainly red. I think it's a topkleur! You might think red is red, but wait a moment for the full face photo. The lipstick is highly pigmented and does not feel dry despite the matte finish. Also accentuates the dryness or no sheets on the lips. Do you have dry lips it is however advisable to just exfoliate and moisturize with a balm for putting magrove your lips. BAM! Nice bang. It really is a beautiful red color. A touch of neon and a hint of orange, so you get real statement lips. Let matt effect and the color will stand out better, I think. I have a lot of red lipsticks, but this one really does anything else. Are you whiter will seem even brighter and neon-like, this color I think. Should you love, but I love so well of. I'm a fan!
