M.A.C Hey Sailor Collection Haul!!!!

Hello dolls, so I'm back!!! I know, I know I really need to get better with this blogging. I really want to dedicate myself to this blog so I have a few post that I am already lining up, a few reviews and hauls etc. Ok so enough rambling lets get on to the exciting stuff right. I really haven't been getting into their collections since their holiday sets @ nordstrom. But I was actually anticipating this collection because I have to say I'm a So Cal girl I love me some summer everything about it the sun, the bright colors and most of all the summer M.A.C collections are the ones that I always get excited about. So onto the collection it was quite an extensive one they had 40 pieces in it which consisted of 4 lipsticks, 5 lipglasses, 3 pro longwear pencils, 5 eyeshadows, 2 bronzing powders, 2 pro longwear bronzers, 1 highlight powder, 2 blushes, 3 nail laquers, 2 body oils, 3 suntints, 3 Powerpoint eye pencils, 2 Pigments, 1 Brush, and last but not least 2 bags. From all this to choose from the only things I ordered online was:

• 1 Lipstick (Sail La Vie)
• 1 Suntint (Au Rose)
• 1 Pro longwear lip pencil (Shore Leave)
• 1 Powder Bronzer (Soft Sand)
• 1 to the beach body oil (Man Rays)

I had my list ready to order and after seeing a few swatches things quickly started getting crossed of my list 1. because I really don't need that much stuff and 2. some things just weren't that unique or must haves in my opinion. Here are a few photos of the products I picked out along with my opinion and reviews enjoy :)

I chose Soft Sand because from the swatches I'd seen it looked like a lovely bronzer and I was in need of a new one since I haven't found that one that was perfect for me. I already owned Refined Golden and sold that one on my blog because it was just to dark for me and the other 2 pro longwear ones just didn't catch my eye "Sun Dipped" looked to red toned for my liking and "Nude on Board"  seemed to light. So my thoughts on this bronzer is it was surprisingly just what I thought it would be for me "perfect" thanks to all the ladies that swatched this and reviewed I didn't miss out on this gem. Oh and it does have a slight sheen but I don't find that it appears that way on my face.

"Sail La Vie" lipstick oh how I love you. Ok so this was I think I was most looking forward to it is the most beautiful intense lippie I own now. It is exactly how it is descrided an intense orange red shade. It has a nice consistency, for being a Satin I don't find this drying like I some of my other ones. I had seen a few bloggers swatching and comparing a few shades to this and "Hibiscus" from last years collection was one of them. Now I own "Hibiscus" and this is how intense I was hoping hibiscus would be but it is way more of sheerer and more of a pink/red/coral shade to me. In my opinion it doesn't even come close to this shade and I don't own anything like this so I am so glad that I picked this up. I love this lipstick and I think it suits my tan skin beautifully :).

This Pro Longwear lip pencil is the only one I picked out of the 3 because I didn't own anything like it and it was the most unique out of the 3. There was a red lip pencil and a nude one and I figured I could always get a red or nude anywhere. This shade is gorgeous for the summer, its hard for me to describe it but when I look at it, it makes me think of pink lemonade. It's a looks like an intense pink with yellow undertones, its described on the website as a light vibrant coral and I guess this looks like its described I just say pink because when I think of coral, orange is always mixed in the color and I don't see any orange in this in my opinion. One thing I did want to mention is that it is very close  to "Cut A Caper" lipstick from the "Tartan Tale" collection which I own and it goes great with this lipliner. I know that lipstick is was LE but I'm sure you can look on Temptalia.com to look some dupes up.

"Au Rose" was the only Suntint that I picked because it seemed like the most pigmented out of the 3. There was a hot pink looking one which I wanted as well and then there was a nude looking one. After some debating on whether to get the hot pink one "Abalone" or not I decided not to because after seeing swatches they are pretty sheer and I just didn't see a purpose on getting more then 1 so I picked the one that I wanted most. This has a sticky consistency, and has an spf scent to it as well, so if either one of those things bother you then this is not for you. It doesn't bother me so I definetly look forward to using this, this summer for a nice hint of color and pertecting my lips since like I mentioned it does have SPF in it.

And last but not least I picked up "Man Rays" which is the bronze one out of the 2. It is described on the website as a "glowing tan with multi dimensional shimmers" and again is exactly how it is described. The other one "Seaside" which is the more pink iridescent one was gorgeous to I was just going for the bronze look. I think "man rays" would look gorgeous on all skin tones because once it's rubbed in it just leaves your skin with a nice healthy glow with noticeable shimmers. But I did try to build this up and was able to build it up somewhat. It also has a nice consistency, it wasn't thick or runny it was perfect and there was no streaking when I blended it into my skin. I can't wait to use when I go to the beach!!!! If your debating between the two I honestly would say get what your going for because in my opinion they are both gorgeous and I believe they both suit all skin tones and they both are totally different so I couldn't even compare them.

Top Natural Sun light: from top to bottom " Soft Sand" bronzer, "Sail La Vie" lipstick, "Shore Leave" pro longwear lip pencil, "Au Rost" suntint, and "Man Rays" body oil.

Bottom photo Natural indoor low light:  Same order as listed above

Comparisons: I wanted to show you guys a comparison between " Soft Sand" and "Give me Sun" mineralize bronzer which is to the left of soft sand. As you can see they are nothing alike give me sun is more of a very noticeable orange undertone to it which soft sand doesn't at all. And I also swatched "Hibiscus" from last years surf collection and it has a noticable pink/coral/red color to it whereas "Sail la vie" is straight out intense red/orange. Hope these swatches helped!!! :)

Over all thoughts:  The whole collection was great but the and I'm hoping to get my hands on "Jaunty" the eyeshadow to serve as an allover wash on days I wear a bold lip or even my simple days. Thats the only other thing I want. Nothing else in this collection was unique enough or just things I would never wear so why waste $ on it right? The hightlighter "Crew" didn't look like anything special to me in fact I don't even know why they called it a "hightlighting" powder it clearly looks like a blush to me so I didn't bother with that and the other 2 blushes I want to check out in store to make sure I don't already own anything similar. Between the two I would have to say "Launch Away" is calling my name but I am fighting temptation. The brush also looked like a nice addition so I'll have to see it in person as well. But for the most part all the colorful eyeshadows and Power Point pencils and pigments are all out of my comfort zone there wasn't any colors that I would actually ever wear. As for the nail laquers I could never bring myself to spend $17 on a nail polish. This is honestly the first time that I loved every single thing that I purchased from a collection. So I hope this helped :)!!! Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.
