Makeup Review:MAC Naked Honey Swatches

June 12, 2009 by Pursebuzz  
Filed under Brands, MAC, MAC 2009, Swatches

MAC Naked Honey arrived in stores today and being the MAC Nut that I am I had to be there on launch day.

Keep on reading for review and more swatches …..

video review coming soon :)

  • Buckwheat- Dark warm brown. Frosty and very velvet to the touch
  • Creme De Miel- Soft and smooth reminds me of white Champagne very frosty, reminds me of MAC Nylon
  • Pollinator- Light sheet peachy-pink
  • Honey Light- Golden yellow highlight color. Semi matte
  • Golden Nectar- Reminds me of a warm lighter shade of bronzer. Semi Matte
  • Buzz - Reddish brown. Can be layered or sheered out
  • Queen Bee- Softer peachy orange with shimmers
  • She’s a star- sheer white champagne with lots of shimmers

Over all this launch was not my favourite. Although it did have some winners.  If you want to save your money for the next few MAC launches you won’t miss much here. I like the shadows and glosses along with the highlighters, but as far as “NEED -MUST- HAVES” there are only a few…

Super Faves: Highlighter and buckwheat

Keep checking back on pursebuzz.com because I am going to be giving away bits and pieces of this launch cause I love you guys!!!

What did you love about this line? Are you gonna get something from MAC’s Makeup Launch Naked Honey?

                                Girl, I’m surprised you didn’t get the Honey salve! I’m loving mine. I put it on my cuticles
                                and my lips and it makes them so nice! Also got the Naked Honey perfume which is my
                                first MAC perfume believe it or not! Folks seem to either love it or hate it, it’s working really nicely for me. Perfume is such a personal thing and it all depends on how it reacts to your body chemistry and all that. Anyway I’m liking the looks of the Golden Nectar powder so I’ll probably go back and get that. As far as the shadows and glosses, they seem pretty
                                dupable from within the line. The shower gel smells nice it just doesn’t smell like honey.
                                I don’t think I smelled the lotion, I’ll have to check it out when I’m there. Wow, that was
                                a ramble! Thanks for the review!

                                  Great review I think Polinator is the only thing I am going to grab from this as it will really make my blue eyes pop.

                                    Yah, I am waiting until December to buy any makeup. I spent too much money on makeup last year preparing for my wedding. I miss those days :(

                                      Honey Light looks so pretty! I’m really into highlighting this summer.

                                          Thanks so much for showing he swatches. Nothing really caught my eye to much until you showed the hughlighters. the fact that the spray comes right off and leaves a matte finsish behind I am really interested. I’m kind of over the sparkle eveywhere. Don’t get me wtong I love my sparklies but it gets to be to much with it on the eyeshadow, lips and highlighter.
                                          Thanks again!

                                            I think I’m going to go for Creme DE MIEL for sure as well as the Honey Light Highlighter. Originally I wasn’t going to get any of the lip products but they are so pretty I might have to cave and get them anyway!

                                              Same here! Can’t resist not buying at least one of these.

                                                I loved your thoughts on the products. I can only decide after I see them in person, but so far I like the highlighter, and the gloss you liked best. Thank you.

                                                  I sure love the highlights , i think they both would be nice to add to my collection , one for summer the other winter. I cant wait to recieve these . I am curious about the wash and lotion to.

                                                    I love the appearance of these products. Not only that, but they are really pretty natural looking colors that can be worn everyday! :-)

                                                      pollinator looks very pretty! the highlights do too….i saw the video review, but how does it look when you apply it on your face? =)

                                                        the collection looked okay.but there wasnt anything that was exciting about it. to me it looked to neutral. i LOVE color lol

                                                          hmm, i wasn’t really interested in any of these. however, pollinator looks like a good pink, and i haven’t got many of those. will have to go check out MAC anyways!

                                                            im kinda drifting toward the higlight powder just because im kinda getting bored of blush and more into apply shimmer/bronze to my cheeks for the summer seasnon

                                                              ohh I really like the “creme DE MIEL”.. reminds of Rice Paper which I adore! also the Golden Nectar looks amazing and so adorable! I’ve got to try it out!! The lip glosses looks sparkly and they don’t feel like you are actually wearing glitters on your lips so that’s even better =]

I was also wondering of you could show some ways of applying this makeup because if I bought it or won the contest I woudl love to know a great way of applying it.

It means cream of honey in French and Spanish. Do you think it would be a good brow bone highlighter? You always do the greatest swatches! Thanks:)

MAC puts out some of the best stuff. It’s hard to judge what a color looks like when it’s on a website in a jar so thanks for the swatches PB!

I also think the honey light and golden nectar are very pretty too ><
