MAC Naked Honey

After the let down that was Style Warrior, I cannot say that I am really looking forward to running out to the MAC counter for this collection. Though I must concede one point that I made about Style Warrior. The associate at the MAC counter at Macy's got me to try on the Fierce and Fabulous Lip Glass, which is described as a magenta purple with shimmer. It looks really dark in the tube but was quite sheer and flattering to my skintone when I applied it. So there was one piece of Style Warrior that went home with me. So let's see if Naked Honey might work...

Here is the description from MAC, "Bees do it...now MAC does it! Honey, that is! Three aspects of golden warmth and sun-made sweetness, layered with two honeycomb-derived fragrances. Complementary shades of High-Light Powder, Eye Shadow, and Lipglass are all the buzz for summer".

Here is the collection...

Eye Shadow - Highly-pigmented powder. Applies evenly, blends well.

- Creme de Miel - frosty light yellow gold

- Pollinator - mid-tone warm reddened peach with pearl

- Buckwheat - dark copper brown with multi-dimensional pearl

Tinted Lipglass - A unique lip gloss available in a wide variety of colours that can create a high gloss, glass-like finish or a subtle sheen. Designed to be worn on its own, over Lip Pencil or Lipstick, Tinted Lipglass is the perfect product for creating shine that lasts. It's pigmented, very shiny, and can impart subtle or dramatic colour. It contains Jojoba Oil to help soften and condition the lips. Tinted Lipglass is packaged in a convenient bottle with a sponge tip applicator that provides a quick, smooth, even application.

- She's a Star - light neutral gold

- Queen Bee - mid-tone apricot with multi-dimensional pearl

- Buzz - dark copper brown with multi-dimensional pearl

High-Light Powder - A High-Light Powder specially created for the Naked Honey collection. Features an embosssed honeycomb pattern. Superfine, impeccably pearlized, it creates soft highlights on cheek, brow, and shoulders - anywhere on the body. Limited Edition.

- Honey Light - a light peachy gold with shimmer

- Golden Nectar - Muted golden tan with shimmer

Naked Honey Skin Salve - Formulated from organic beeswax, sunflower oil, and other natural ingredients, this rich honey-scented and flavored salve instantly moisturizes and helps recondition dry skin. Multi-purpose. Use everywhere. Limited Edition.

Naked Honey Hand and Body Cream - A sensuous cream made from bio-converted honey, and vitamin derivatives. Absorbs quickly for skin-softening moisture. Conditions, nourishes, protects. Use on all areas where ultra-moisture is called for. Limited Edition.

Naked Honey Body Wash - Formulated from bio-converted honey, this body wash cleanses the skin while providing the soothing and moisturizing benefits of lavender, narcissus, jasmine flower waxes, and blue agave extracts. Provides a sensual, calming, cleansing experience. Limited Edition.

Creations Hue : Naked Honey - An aromatic journey that traces honey's fragrant heart back to summer's sweetest blooms. Energy starts to buzz, spirits soar, light floral and woodsy notes float toward an electric finale. Sweet and sexy all the way. Limited Edition.

Creations Hue : Africanimal - A scent that starts with honey-ness that's sdeuctive and given its dash of pepper, not without spice. Add a dark kiss of bergamot and wood, and an aromatic orgy breaks out to create a scent that's all honey but far from sweet. Limited Edition.

I love these three new eye shadow shades, I might considering pre-ordering these before the collection drops tommorrow. Other that that, MAC will get me with its introduction of body products that match this collection. I have used honey based products before, both for their scent and the humectant powers that they possess. I can't say that I am that excited about anything else in this collection though. I would like to try out of the High-Light Powder in the lighter shade but it doesn't really grab at me right now.
