Yummy411: MAC Naughty Nautical Launch

Hi all... so I want to talk Naughty Nauticals. Sorry folks, no swatches here. I swatched a little too much for it to make it back home and take pics of it.

Anyhooo, if you care to chat about it and hear my take on it.. let's go!

But first, I must give a shout out to Ms. Tameka (sorry if I misspell your name)! It was my first time meeting a Yummy411 reader (that wasn't a friend or family member) outside of the blog! I was so honored to meet her. When she recognized who I was, I really felt special. I'm always trying to look out for familiar faces or even those Specktralites in my area. Good meeting you Tameka!

Okay, back to the show

Lipsticks- most are lustres and barely there colors. If you like Bare Slimshine l/s, possibly even Viva Glam V, you'll like the Buoy Oh Buoy. On me, it's a true lustre, barely there color, close enough to lip conditioner in tinted beige. I got it=( It might make a return. The star of the lipsticks was truly Port Red! If you missed Queen's Sin from this past Christmas collection Antiquitease then you'll definitely want to hop on this!

Lipglasses- A bit of a snore to me, but they definitely have a bit more dimension that looking at promo pics online. I like Bateaux which is this collections version of those very familiar or comfortable with Sinnamon lip lustre, or Oh Baby lip glass-- tan with a bit of pearl, not iridescence nor glitters, but a shine more or less of a toned down chrome glass. Love Knot is a blue based baby pink with some light blue iridescence. It's soft, but definitely there. Cute, but I passed because I know this is something I would definitely layer and not wear alone. I need products to be stars in their own right. A MAC MA was wearing Dervish lip liner, Buoy oh Buoy lipstick and Ensign lipglass (so she says ;)) Great looking combo on her!

Eye Shadows- If we aren't fixated on lipglasses, the next product to catch our attention is usually the eye shadows. If the lipsticks are a snore, then these will definitely put your lights out. You may notice Submarine eyeshadow which is a pretty vibrant blue. Great blue if you don't own any flashy blues and it's not super frosty. I passed since I wasn't sure how close it was to my Blue Storm eye shadow from a recently passed collection, Blue Storm. I think blue storm is darker, but Submarine is definitely smoother than my Blue Storm which is rather chalky for a frost. Illegal Cargo and Shore Leave are very pastel and frosty.

Pigments- Mutiny's the star of this clan. It's a light sky blue aqua. Very pretty. The others are very pretty, but I just wasn't intrigued and didn't know how I'd use them. I know there will be some people on Spectra that will blow my mind with these simple colors, so I'll wait on their lead =p Lovely Lily is a shade up from viz-a-violet, which is barely a shade up from violet.. see the trend? I passed. Mutiny might win me over though.

Polishes- Of course the blue Naughty Nautical polish is on my radar. I'm looking for a dupe of Dior's signature blue polish color!

Well, that's the collection for me in a nutshell. What's your take? Did you check it out? Haul? Tell me about it!
